Does anyone have an xp-120 they could fit on this thing? I would love to see how much clearance that gets and how it is best oriented.
Sorry, did you try that while you had ECC memory in there?Quote:

I've had the XP-120 and the XP-90 on the board. Best results were with the XP-90 and the fan on the heatpipe radiator. This combo droped mobo temps by 8C.
Thank you for answering my question. I had a DFI NF4 SLI-DR but had to RMA it and I think it may have been lost in the mail. If it doesn't come back then that wouldn't break my heart, I'd just go pick up my insurance and take a serious look at one of these. It's good to hear that the xp-120 works. I had to slide my ram under it for the DFI also.
ok, max clock I got with that limited v-core which claims to be 1.6vcore is 2933mhz ,stupid limit, anyone want this board? I'm gonna go back to somthing that I can fry my hardware with.
Likewise. You dont buy a ferrari to get limited to 100mph. I raised 2 cases with ASUS and the only response i got back was to fill out a form to replace my motherboard fan wtf???. No support and was not told about fixing this issue so will probably sell off this board cheap and not bother with asus again.Quote:

Otherwise we're pretty much on our own, I understand a solid product should not need much support (if any), but sh1t man...I can't believe Asus going to give you a replacement fan to 'fix' it. :stick: But Situman is definitely right though, if you only care about setting WR and don't mind the risk of frying more hardware....this board ain't gonna cut it for you.Quote:

Race on weekends?? Tell that to my bosses lol. Either way taking your ferrari to the racetrack and only being limited is still very annoying for such an expensive product.Quote:

Guys the board only been available for a week now :D
Give it some time, I've got one coming and I'm welcoming the change from the DFI. Not that the DFI NF4's I've had were anything less than great but I'm ready to play with something new. IMO the Vcore is limited by the power requiremnts of the cpu type, this is done in the bios and as such there should be a bios available at some point that will allow full Vcore (even if its a modded bios and not an Asus release)
This board has tremendous potential, be patient and it may be realized
mine coming tomorrow. I hope they wont be stupid and deliver at like 11am.
well i'm up and runnin, but it is having a fit at 1t ddr600. i have been pullin my hair out all day. as it stands i am having to run 2t which sucks. gotta be something i am missing in the bios. looks like no sleep tonight. also my board came loaded with the suck ass 502 bios that won't let you install an os. That was alot of fun. now i on 703. anybody tried the beta bios with any luck in improving oc? welp, back to the bios.
You seriously want to sell it?Quote:

It's no prob if your chip has the option to go to 1.7 volts, but mine just didn't put that in asus bios. when modded one comes out, I'll just grab another one, no big deal at all.
hehe....Major nailed it! eventually we'll get more people to report their finding and exploits, remember back in the day we'd volt modded the crap out of the A7N8X-Deluxe rev 2.0 to push those little barton....it was mucho fun :DQuote:

Board is up for grabs in the FS section, sorry Ben and everyone else, I just really really really want this opty to be at 3 gigs prime or this thing in the back of my head will be bugging me forever. I....can't.. make it stop......must get diff...ernt... board to kill hardware...
EDIT : I will however pop my 4400 in there quick just to see what vcore pops out and let u guys know about it (before it's gone) :)
Don't email or fill out their online forum, call their Customer Service Dept in CA.Quote:

I tried 805 beta bios but did not seem to help, it also corrupted on me after 20 mins. Luckily I had backed up up my original bios file first before flashing, I recommend anyone do the same before flashing.
Edit: I see your using OCZ TCCD too, interesting...
