Not bad at all :)
problems that cannot work?

2 x 4pins conectors :slobber:

Probably needed to keep CF running happy :)Quote:

really a good mobo with soooooo good electronic parts. If come to retail without cost-down, I bet it will be one of the most powerful mobo in the market :D
Whats the slot sitting below the PCI slot??

That one.... (and whats with on-mobo mute and volume up/down buttons o.0)
ya, very strange slot lying beside pci slot.
and funny that the mobo have Mute/Vol up/Vol DN button :D
This is a sample from ATI Right? not the one frome DFI, couse i thougt that the DFI one came whit the Digital VRM
Is there any silkscreening around that slot Victor? On the "upper" side of it?
haven't seen any print on that.Quote:

insteresting mobo.
:D Haha - VICTOR is been told by DFI to say it's DOA cause they are afraid the board could be robbed.......:stick: :slapass: :D
no no no, this mobo arrived at my friend 2months ago, but both of us have no time to test it.Quote:

I'll go to ATI guys tomorrow and ask them what's going on :D
DFI's RD600 will come out in Nov, a great mobo will born :banana:
:eek: Oh, such bastards at ATI.............., 2 month ago :stick: - BTW VICTOR, maybe the board died from beeing bored.....:p:Quote:

2 months :eek: :stick: !!
Send it to me, I'll test it for you lol (or anything else thats been 'lying around' for the last few months :p: :slobber:
t
Thanks for the pics, Victor!
Black slot for wireless card, i think, as ACL codec is mounted on bottom corner. Power slot to provide off-line HTPC functionality, hence Vol up/dn buttons, i think, and probably why the wake-on-lan jumper is right next to the audio section.
Wish I could buy one...
Mayb im saying something ugly :P but u looked if mouse/keyboard are connected the right way?
November?!?! I thought it was still scheduled for October :(Quote:

yes november, dfi will launch it then alsoQuote:

cannot find a jumper marked as " CLR CMOS " or something like that :(Quote:

What happened to the 3rd PCI-E slot?
So is this an ATI board, I didnt know they made boards. Looks like it has onboard graphics?
looks alot like my Manta reference only with different PWM
Edit - hey victor, i think the cmos jumper is the one near the battery, maybe try flipping that? (there are four jumpers there, three in a row and one on top, im talking about the one on top.) Good luck!
Not a bad looking board but seems a bit "Empty" :(
I dont think its final, especially if the bit about being 2 months old is for real. I wish I had access to such things. Got any keifer chips gathering dust back there?
looks like a cnr slot.
Havnt seen one of those in a while

no i dont think DFI's board got wlan
just because dfi doesnt use it doesnt mean the reference board cant.
However, i dont think thats what it is for... i believe sorrow is right, CNR slot.
I forget what they were used for.
Communications Network Riser.:stick:

please dear lord dont tell me these stupid people put a CNR slot on this mobo.
the CNR slot NEVER EVER got used 8 years ago when they first started using CNR, thats why it only lasted about a year and they quit making that slot.
you couldnt even find a CNR NIC. jesus i cant believe they would even consider putting a cnr slot on that man,, thats rediculous
UNLESS they plan on including a little CNR wifi nic.
Sheesh. Notice WOL jumper right next to CNR?:stick:
Pretty sure it's for wifi.:fact:

Its not a final board, just a test of the chipset right so wait till a proper board is seen first?

Maybe a "budget" version and an XXXXtreme version. :DQuote:

@ VW is there spread spectrum option in bios,
also whats max...Vmch, VTT, Vdimm & pci-e mhz range ....:)
read through ATI's RD600 overclking guide, seems the mobo is a monster for mem overclking.
can set mem clk seperately by not by fsb:ram ratio, and I saw a 425fsb cpu with 600mhz cl4 cpuid screenshot @.@
to Dyn:
I have x1950xtx cf edition in hand. so no need 2*x1950xtx with RD600 for a crossfire running :D
just no mobo alive in hand. after so many cpu testing, my p5wgd2-ws pro and p5wdh dl were dead, LGA775 always have such prob. :(
unfortunetly, my RD600 still cannot work though I tried CLR Cmos jumper.
bad luck these days. killed 3pcs RaptorX and 3mobo :( :( :(
Raptors are very durable and tough harddrives. the ASUS boards and harddrives dying are from the constant self sudden powerdowns during reboots and overclocks or when exiting the bios. This isn't a "feature" unless you want to call it a "killer feature." The Asus killed your harddrives, not your bad luck.Quote:

oscon? err those are sanyo arent they.
My rd580 ES had oscon nichicon and panasonc iirc , you are pretty much right on./
:( in fact, 1 raptor was kill by asus, the other 2pcs were raid0, damaged by a bottle of water 'coz of my careless.Quote:

sure, asus's powerdown is a stupid Feature.....
That seems to be a rev. E "Marlin" reference board with RS600 chipset.
The RD600 reference board is a bit more suitable for oc...
ygpm, i can probably get it working again ;)
woah.. :D hope the ati guy can give you a working board..:)

well, 440 FSB in a reference motherboard and stock cooler very unestable are not bad... but not quite impressive. Even more when we are hoping a 500+ fsb monster.
So now the wait is until november? I thought it was supposed to come out mid October. I was waiting for the rd600, but I guess Im going to go with a the p5w dh.
Hi
Any news about the board ?? I buy a abit aw9d max if the board will not arrive soon.
Can't wait any longer, need only the mainboard.
By Zero
I think we would have heard alot more if it was going to be available at retail to the public this month
the DFI is scheduled for november.
:confused: What year...........?? :ROTF: :ROTF: :ROTF:Quote:

The board is really sweet. OC's very well.
The 333 default sounds usefull, none of us will want any less anyway

thanks
what are the exact specs on this thing like what ports and such?
am in wrong or this board has only one 1 ethernet port? >< I need 2
Excellent news.Quote:

hi VictorWang ..:D any news?
Ya, anymore teasers? ;)
When is this board coming out!
My personal guess is early december now for proper retail. Maybe their trying to get the xmas market, toys r us stylee
if thats the case, they have lost my business. If its not out within another week or 2, i'm getting a different board.
you will buy one regardless. lolQuote:
