Here its still around 165€ ;)
I guess the ultra will be around the 120€ or something like that when its broad available...
germany is germany ;)
Not Portugal :(
Pre-order available at OCuk *cough*
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Socket_939.html
computersmsa - the price diference is much smaller lately but it still "hurts" sometimes
Nice overclockers.co.uk are online.
Its too late for me though, i'm already pre-ordered :D
Newegg is a little bit slow :\
and im drooling all over my computer from those pictures... :slobber: :slobber: :slobber:
Well done OcUK, lets hope more places follow suit with a bit of a price war
Hum can't seem to find a supplier from Canada yet pre-ordering it ;(
I'll pass on the price war. DFI motherboards have never been cheap, nor do i expect them to be cheap.Quote:

Actually, even 400+ :D
I haven't had my computer for a long time now, i cant wait to get it back together. No way I'm waiting ANOTHER 2 months.
people are willing to shell out $400 for a mobo (LOLOLOL) just based on hearsay ("dfi is a nice brand") - and NOT based on real reviews ?
Is there ANY real review of the dfi NF4 board yet ? I didnt see any...
wow 400+ that's killer even if it does have all the little extra "features" I still don't think it's worth it to me :) Maybe because i'm not hardcore enough eheh. But more power to you if you can shell out 400 bucks.
its like 270 euros so like 350usd. not 400++
I have put off upgrading for far, far too long. [Vapochilled Athlon 1200/100 at 1466/133].
I am definitely upgrading this time no matter what, and this board looks extremely attractive! What I am trying to figure out is whether I am going for SLI or not.
At overclockers.com Ed mentioned something about how dual core CPU's may be better for SLI, if each core can be dedicated to each gpu. He brought this up because with SLI the scores seem heavily CPU dependant, and CPUs do not seem to be getting faster in speed anytime soon.
Does dedicating a core to each GPU sound like a good idea for the future, or was that statement in itself ridiculous? Just wondering about all your opinions since there are some pretty intelligent people on this forum..

Hopefully, as the drivers mature, SLI will become more efficient, and we will see a reduction in CPU dependence :)Quote:

wow a midrange comp is going ot cost like 5000 in a year or two
For anyone highly interested in the AGP version of this board!

Heres an answer i got from DFI TW
Dear Sirs,
Many thanks for your email.
Yes, DFI will have nF3 Ultra-D which support AGP version. The available schedule should be on/abt end of Feb.

Man im soooo glad i put my 939 upgrade off now! i dont care if the NF3 board doesnt have the heatsinks etc i put em on all my boards myself anyway :D
wow this is gonna rule if the agp board has 3.2v DDR as well!!!! man i hope so. :slobber:
Great! :toast:
Just reassure me, there is going to be no difference in performance between the DFI LanParty UT NF4 SLI-D and the DFI LanParty UT NF4 Ultra-D is there, as I only want the Ultra as I will be getting an X850?
And I don't know what people are on about being expensive, the Ultra-D is only £105, compared to the MSI neo Plat 4 Ultra which is £130!!! ANd they DFI is going to own it. Even the SLI version is cheaper than the MSI.
if things go to 2 gpus on a card running sli that would be good news for everyone who gets the plain ultra board as it can still do that sli unless im misunderstanding.
I know what u mean about the waiting J but a pre order price war would be a nice thing, as u can still get it as soon as its available, although i dont see much chance of it happening.
no performance difference with an x850 between them no.
Now the 3500(90nm) just has to come back in stock across the UK and I'm sorted. Right I'm of to surf PCIe GFX card Pr0n and drool :DQuote:

The external soundcard will FINALLY put an end to all the screeching and hissing in onboard sound. THANK YOU DFI.
I know nothing about this onboard sound, is it actually any good? How does it compare to the old onboard sounstorm or and Audigy?
Yeah, that's a heck of a name, huh? :D ;) While it's probly very normal-sounding in Chinese, if they had a decent translator, they would have just said, "Look, that's too goofy for those spoiled Americans, let's change it." :eleph:Quote:

whatever floats yer boat :toast:Quote:

(it has raid 0 too)
and it has S.O.S, which should mean u would never have to reset the cmos!!!
good for people with asthma and dusty cases :)
hmm... what would you do with the frontx thing if you don't plan on putting it in a case?
Nothing?Quote:

i'll try and sell it on ebay for 5$, cuz i still want the extra 4 sata ports.
get the ut nf4 sli-dr?? still comes with 8 sata minus frontx and diagnostic led thingies
btw im glad that even the dfi nf4-ultra mobos come with the sli-bridge for some pseudo sli :D
ive checked the package contents in the manual for msi nf4-ultra mobo and no sight of sli-bridge...maybe this will make for an easier decision...
oh totally forgot about the UT version.
i'm not even considering the msi neo4 plat anymore. at first i was because i was under the assumption that the DFI wasnt coming until april. now that its released and hopefully in places in the US in the next few weeks for reasonable price, i will be getting it for sure.
Just preordered the DFI NF4 SLI for a friend! http://www.computerhq.com/hardware/p...id-532379.html
Also ordered to go with it:
6800GT EVGA PCI express (monarch)
and will be ordering this tomorrow from excalibur:
2x512 G-Skill pc4400
3200+ winnie
Antec Tru550 24pin
Im hoping the 550 will be enough for a possible future SLI. I told him he may want to wait and see if the one 6800GT is enough for him for now. Hes going from a asus KM400 amd mobo and a 5900xt after all :)
does this combo seem ok? thoughts before i push the spend button on ram/cpu/psu tomorrow? :)
at least i get to see one in action while i wait for the AGP board to come out anyway! :D

not bad on the antec :) you can't go wrong with either OCZ or Antec. the 3200+ winnie should do it but if you want to save 50 more dolalrs go with the 3000+ winnie. As for the G-Skill maybe someone can answer this it for you because i'm not sure myself. It's either BH5 or TCCD for me since the DFI has a 4volts on the vdimm.
Regarding reviews, the performance the DFI achieved on "coaler" is enough, i was sold the moment i saw DDR700 and Vcore2,1 :D
Thank goodness for the NF3 - Really dont want to go about buying ANOTHER x800, after the trouble I had getting my hands on this one
*grumble*backorder for 2 months*grumble*
I'm really glad to see that some decent boards are being released for AMD. Now all we need are the vid cards to go with it. It's damn near impossible to get your hands on a half way decent vid card for PCI-E.
You need to buy yourself a clue...try to use USB to put digital movies on your pc and then comeback and tell us how it worked, among many other things...Quote:

All that junk, I only need the mobo itself :)
Yeh, the top range DFI boards come with sleeving kits :)
"David as this is a DFI board and is not related to Gigabyte at all; I am having this email answered by those in engineering and places of much more position than myself. The ability to do beyond what most 'other' brands of motherboard are capable of doing has "always" required a very competent and non-overrated power supply. That will not have changed with the coming of the NF4 to DFI.
24 pin power supplies are now required due to the change in ATX protocol for the NF4 boards and DFI will likely require the 24pin power supplies is my guess but we will wait for the reply from higher up, sir. XXX...
Sincerely,
XXX"
This is a mail from DFI tech. regarding the use of a 20pin PSU. looks like i'll need to get an OCZ PowerStream while im at it :(
could you just buy a 20 to 24pin powersupply convert?
I have...my USB 2.0 worked great! Few digital camcorders haven't already moved to USB. Practically all digital cameras have.Quote:

Obviously not. The extra four pins in the adapter are placebos. The 24pin includes an extra 3,3, 5 and 12. Something tells me that the DIMM slots are powered by one of these (either the 3,3V or 5V).
The adapter really defies the purpose of the added power to the PCIe slots and the extra ground cable.
At least i have a reason to upgrade from my 430W Antec to the OCZ PS520W :D
I'm debating whether to use that or the Antec NeoPower 480W as its 24pin and has the new cable management system where you plug in what you need and don't have to worry about the cable explosion.Quote:

I'd consider something >= 500W, ASUS manual (yes I know its a DFI board) recommends >= 500W for SLI setup.Quote:

The 24pin converter does not split the 12V 3.3V and 5V +ground cables into the extra holes. On DFI-STREET ViperJohn and Angry Games discussed it in further detail, and supposedly the converter defies the point of the 24pin socket.Quote:

The OCZ has adjustable rails, i'll just do a sleeving job on it.
LOL digital camcorders using USB2.0...perphaps we have a diferent idea of what a real digital camcorder is (you must be talking about that Mustek crap and such)Quote:

Kill the OT nonsense.... this is a DFI 939 thread, not an "I love my Gigabyte's Firewire 800" thread or a digital camcorder elitist thread.
