thank you in advance.:toast:
Wow, I am certainly glad this thread has calmed down. I am a current owner of this board and at the first plugging in of my cpu I can say that I was certainly concerned.
I have lost an fx-57 and it was devastating so I can understand why someone would be upset at whatever the cause of such an event was.
I have had a good experience all around so far with this board and I hope that another official bios release comes out soon as I'm not quite ready to hop on to the beta bioses on this board quite yet.
I'll stay tuned for updates =)
welcome to XtremeSystems :toast:Quote:

Welcome to the forum and hope you enjoy your Horrid stay here (well, for any rep, I can't think otherwsie considering the nature of crowd here) :) Bring us some good news please.
I am in same line of thought as FCG. I can respect company that stand behind it's product. But for those who can't and not willing to, I certainly do raise my voice up. I am the guy in restraunt when I see something wrong will instantly look for manager. Hey I am not paying just for food/product, I am paying for customer service as well.
PS) I didn't get to see the edited comments from FCG. But whatever is remaining is absolutely the way I see things anyway and I am pretty sure there are quite a few forum member in agreement.
This thread reminds me of another popular overclocking board by a different MFG. The rev 1 verision had a nasty habbit of destroying itself every third or fourth time you saved changes to the BIOS. Now that board also had it's own support fourm sponserd by the MFG, but at no time did any company rep ever respond to the issue. I belive we had to wait almost four months, a few days before the release of REV 2, before the MFG released any BIOS that addressed the problem. Anyway I'm glad to see some semi-offical support and a beta bios so soon after discovering the problem.
Keep in mind this is xtreme forums, we do things with expensive equipment that would make most people run in fear. And you should never ever never buy a first generation/ complety redsigned MB if you are worried about your other equipment.
Overclocking is not for the fient of heat or shallow of pocket
thank you very much for the wellcome
i think this conversation is for DFI SLI DR Expert CPU Death Fix and the bios i need is for this board :)

jinu117, i hope you have some patience with bulldog and please dont see him as dfi incarnated, he works for a company just like you and me.
thats what its NOT supposed to be in my opinion...i dont recommend the latest products to people who are annoyed by small bugs that will get fixed over time with bios updates, but those bugs shouldnt harm the rest of the system! and in 99% of the new products this hasnt been the case in my expirience. incidents where hardware kills other hardware are fortunately rather scarce.Quote:

Got up this morning, hit the switch, lights came on, the pump started running, and that’s all she wrote. No post, no video, not even the fan on the X1800 was running. Turned off the power supply for few minutes and tried again, same result….. Brought the box to the shop and pulled it apart. Bench built the board, ram, and video with the same result…… Pulled the Opty and put it in another working box (MSI Neo4), no post. Put the Opty in an Asus Premium and again no post . It was a pretty sweet 170 for the three weeks I’ve had it….. Now it gets even more interesting (and costly), I put an 3000+ in the Expert hit the switch and it looked like a three alarm fire in here. Smoke rolling out of the mosfets instantly. I’ve pulled the 3000+ and it’s still working fortunately……
I’ve ordered another Expert and CPU red label but am now hesitant to fire it up. Any other thoughts here? :mad: :mad:
DFI, if you're intersted I'd be more happy to send you the board and cpu for testing..... Damn I hate it when this happens!
Were you using the bios listed in this thread or an older one when this happened?Quote:

what settings were you running the opt 170 and the board at before it died on you,,,,
Read the sig.........
