Will the DFI RD600 be the Golden MB?

i am sure rd600 will be better,but this waiting is killing me,I have a x6800 that will do almost 5ghz on a phase,but can't really use it since I'm waiting for a board that won't need vmods to run 1.8v vcore and will stretch my cellshocks 1000 legs...

I bought my RAM, and am waiting on the CPU and MB. I know Im getting a 6600, but I want to get them at once....

If the RD600 board is not released soon, I'm jumping ship to a 680i board. I would guess that a lot of others will too...

I really dont understand the DFI marketeers...680i popping out from all over the place and DFI decide to keep quiet. They are loosing out to other board makers with everyday that goes by. Come on DFI throw us a freaking bone here ;)

The new Abit i690 has Digital VRM so I'm very tempted to jump ship.


I have two questions though:

1: Will RD600 be less power hungry?

2: Will the RD600 support Quad Core?

I'm with you. DFI seems to have a stick up it's A##.
Soon as that ABIT board hits the market, I'm buying it. DFI has lost a customer by their screwing around. :slapass:

Man i really cant stand all this c o c k teasing! :slapass:

Shortly, the BIOS is going through final testing at this time and the board will not be released until everyone is satisfied with it.

Tony or anyone in the know, what will max vcore be on the dfi rd600 motherboard? :)

I'm tired of 20 bugs with every board, and I'm thinking this board will be worth the wait. Oskar Wu FTW. :woot:

Just found out that the 680i is heavy on the juice... The power consumption in idle is almost as high as an 975x on load. And as the Rd600 is basically a refined 975X I will keep on waiting for the RD600. I also prefer the Lanparty. Always the best bios, period.

So, ur Cheese has got grip of the cracker again! :D

It's excited to see all the new 680chipset boards coming up!
I can't even stop refreshing the "today's postings" to see the RD600 board perform or any pics of this beauty :toast:
Also a 680' DFI Lanparty will please me ..!

I hope the RD600 will be on retail within two week or so..
The missing part of my setup!

Is this something new or did you mean 680i? :D

hi-5!

yeah man, see, a company brings a motherboard to market too fast with a buggy bios, it gets nailed.

Then they decide to take their time and bring out a board with a little more testing and they still get nailed. what gives?

A consumer or company can never be kept happy in the motherboard game, it's chicken and egg all the way.

I don't feel I've been screwed by the wait at all..If it's not worth it, then the other motherboards will still be available...

Until I see some real results from trusted friends on these new motherboards, I'm sitting back and waiting for the charlie prices to drop..

Wonder what memory the board will favor.... !?

i'd expect that micron d9 should work well based on it's popularity among overclockers..

I jumped ship on the 860i but if this upcomming board is the :banana::banana::banana::banana:. I may just have to build another comp just to have it. P5b at the moment is not impressive.

I'm looking forward to picking up RD600 when it is released. I like the layout of the 680i board, and the performance seems to be pretty good based on the reviews, but I'm more likely to be using an AMD graphics card in crossfire mode than vis versa. I'm not sure if the "extras" on the 680i board are worth their weight in gold either.

Lol, I'm currently using the DP965LT Intel board, so don't talk to me about "not impressive." :p:

(As an aside, the board runs rock stable, but 10 bios revisions later it's still not running optimally)

I think the 680i is nice but seriously nvidia needs to work out power consumption on their chipsets. I mean the NForce 4 Ultra's were always complained about being hot. The 975X seems to use about the same amount right? or the 965P even more. Then this chipset uses another 20W. I don't think the chipset should be putting out 40W heat? maybe 50 I guess...

Dudes be courteous to dfi. They want this board released as badly as we do. Dr. Wu is working around the clock to ensure we get a nice bios and everyones happy. He's been drinking gallons of Bawls for days and not sleeping properly. Be nice. THis board is going to kill all! :toast:
