Heyas,

For those who are lucky enough to have the board, is it possible to judge whether an Thermalright XP-120/XP-90 will fit on them nicely? :D

any chance of seeing the board later today at e-tailers???

Ohh this is so sweet, swedish supplyers seem to have the card kinda far away :(

FDD and HDD will be getting power from the motherboard? :confused:
Looks like another great motherboard for both casemodders and overclockers from DFI. :toast:

Some Update: not all the vdimm is usable according to BIOS. It maxed out at around 3.2v even when it was set to 4.0v. Unlike Asus A8N, the board managed to run my GSkill RAM up to DDR670 1M SuperPI benchable. Of course, it was 1T setting. Using sample board of MSI Neo4 Diamond, the same RAM maxed out at DDR650. No pics and screenies yet, Sorry!!

Similar to Asus A8N, you have to plug HDD-type power connector to the board to run SLI cards but there is also an additional connector which is using a floppy power connector. I don't know what this is for. Maybe need to plug in this to get 4v vdimm? The strange thing is that when we plug in the floppy power connector to the board, the vdimm is maxed out at 2.5v :confused:

That's it. Is the dream of true 4.0Vdimm over? It seems it still depends on the power of your 3.3v rail... :brick: Can you adjust your PSU line voltages to confirm this?

H0Gun, can you try using a 20pin PSU and see if it works? Otherwise i looks like i'll have to bust out more cash for a OCZ Powerstream 420W :(

I have a confirmation that Swedish distributors on DFI´s list will get cards in store in two weeks. Cards will "depart" from DFI in one week.

Still no price yet though.

Hey dirt, which sweedish shop is that? Denmark seems to have forsaken DFI, and no one knows anything about it apart from DatatelPartner. The next option is oc-wear.de, but thats germany and RMA would be a fortune :(

Sweeden is closer :)

Ok nice. I wrote to the danish retailers, hope to get a reply soon. Considering that the 925X-T2 costs 1800DKK, and has a MSRP @ $200, wtf is the danish price going to be? 2500DKK? Thats about $350, and about $400

Scary....
01-04-2005, 05:46 AM
Dirt

Thats just to much. According to comparations with listprices in the US on MSI Diamond a 320$ will be about 2200SEK. So applied to the DFI this will be: 299$ = 2000SEK

ok, sounds much better. DFI motherboards are heavily overpriced in DK, the sweedish shop is cheaper, not taking into account that its in SEK! :D

DFI in DK

"Den danske distributør har valgt ikke at tage den hjem i første omgang, så jeg ved ikke hvornår den lander i Danmark."

In other words, the danish distributor decided to pass on this board in the first round, waiting untill the 2nd batch. WTF?! :mad: :mad:

Im buying from asbis.se in that case or overclockers.co.uk

No way im waiting for those "#¤¤#¤&!"¤!#"¤@£@£ danes to get it in stock in April. This is the problem with living in a foreign country. You do not always understand the mentality and often stupidity of the nation. :stick:

Yeah, I think you can still use the sli like Opb did with the regular msi Nf4 ultra board, except you have a full x16 slot so it might work slightly better. I am wondering if the official sli versions are going to be worth the price, if the plain one has 2 x16 slots already?

He actually didn't say it, he said he thinks that Oskar designed it that way (as this would be logical from overclockers point of view).

Oskar did not design that mobo. He got it and had to fix it from what he had there already to work with.
The NF4 on the other hand was made from scatch so to get 4V on the mem of course he would use the 5V.

It's an assumption, to get 4V anybody in their right mine would use a 5V source. How do you get 4 volts from a 3.3V line without having to mickymouse the thing:D

True, but the modded bios on the nf3 board went up to 4vdimm and that was off the 3.3 rail. //////// I am going to shut up and stop speculating. There is no point if we don't even have a board to play with. Sorry everyone. I'm done until someone who actually knows what they are doing has one. Enough is enough.

Here is a e-mail from 5 months ago when I was talking to Oskar about the 754 mobo. As you can see he talks about useing the the 5V.
But, on a board made from scratch it sounds like he would want to use it.

----------------------
Current VDIMM is converted directly through a MOSFET from ATX power 3.3V , after a voltage drop caused by the MOSFET , the highest possible VDIMM is 3.15~3.25V(Depend on Power ATX 3.3V) ...
Although I want to change the VDIMM converting source from 3.3V to 5V , it's impossible based on current board layout and placement ...

This was aweful. Who was the moron asking the questions? He asked all the wrong questions. no personality and didn't seem prepared. I'n not even going to bother with the sound file, it's not even worth saving. That Vivian on the other hand, She is my dream girl. Sounds kinda sexy too. Maybe that's why he couldn't ask the right questions? He was distracted by her sexyness?
