You can still throw memtest on your HD and start it with a boot loader.Quote:

I agree memtest built into bios and reloaded were/are excellent features of dfi bioses, especially when they give you 30 different memory parameters to tweak, that board held my interest the longest and I still enjoy playing with it.Quote:

No, it will be RD600+SB650
According to this:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...1&d=1148599492
DFI roadmap Intel s775
I forget who it was, but someone in another post said they would. They should have a 975x and ATI RD600 Lanparty boards on the way.
it was FCG. but don't believe everything ppl say here in xs :toast: FCG said the AW8D will support Conroe, too, what was wrong ;)Quote:

Don't think so, the block should be higher. These capacitors seem really low.
Hope so I have one pre ordered :p:
I agree with Sai, that part of the block looks higher than the caps. I hope it works as I'll be putting an apogee on there (with luck).
Ive just had a look at my block and im pretty sure now it will be over those resisters. :toast:
Even i had a good look..Quote:

coolaler,
If it's possible could you run speedfan to show the level of vdroop while running prime95 or some other program you have available?
Edit: I am not looking for anything complex or abstract...just something basic.
Errr well to get any useful values he should use a DMM, anything other is useless.. ;)
damn have to wait for the LP model then..with crossfire, which i never will use....
Ya, and I'll be using a Nvidia card as well :pQuote:

NF5 for Intel may be using the NF4 memory controller, meaning all the same issues as the NF4 for Intel boards...
Dunno on the DFI vs P5WDH. *thinks* Some things I like about the DFI, the layout of the SATA connectors and the allowance for double slot wide GPU cards is just intelligent. Asus shouldn't have missed details like that.
But the power connector right where it is, seems poor. I am thinking that power delivery along the shortest route insures cleaner power delivery, but assuming there is a Xifi for pci-e x1 at some future date, that connector gets in the way, and worse, throw say a Ninja cooler and a few fans on there and again that power Connector is a pain.
And why would we still have need for a parallel port? I'll suppose someone does but I'd have been happy with just serial or none, and a few more USB ports put on back there.
I can say with that power connector there, the setups are going to look like spaghetti fast.
So I guess it comes down to that digital pwm, and features. I like the USB bios backup and the SIL 4723 on the Asus so I suppose I'm leaning in that direction.
It would sure be nice if someone would set the two up side by side and just show some parallel tests to give us the "final answers". I'm sure everyone will have different high points they value and won't all choose the same board. But it would be clearer to have all the pros and cons laid out in a single set of testing.
Ty Coolaler for an impressive showing, once again. 谢谢
:)
I have to agree, with my CFX3200-DR the atx power connector is ont the edge of the board, making it a cleaner look, I suppose DFI have their reasons for the move on this board.
It must be due to the improvement having the power closer to it's delivery point of the cpu. I'm just not sure yet if it was worth it.
:)
I honestly see no difference the placement of the Power connector would make. Basic PCB design dictates that you supply power to the components via a power plane, not by an individual trace. A more valid reason would be, the need to seperate digital and analog circuits/sections of the board. Just a thought. :)
Well greater trace length leads to greater inductance, though that can act as a filter of sorts, I guess the tech's no best.
Meh, to me, it's just about the annoyance of a atx power connector stretching across the board.Quote:

Yes more testing of course is what we all need. And yes I don't want to run the main power all the way across the mobo either. That is really bugging me.
...
sry to say but nvidia claims that there is not bandwith enough for nf5 boards on the intel platform....so none nforce5 intel ed. on 975.......perhaps in the future...thats anyway what admins are saying on dfi-street...so no DFI nf5 for intel.Quote:
