Looks incredible! Take note of the copper heatsinks as well! I am very excited for this board and I hope they include some of these enhancements in future DFI Lanparty boards.
:slobber: :slobber: :slobber:
now they need to do the same thing for conroe :fact:
What is the CPL-5-50?
~Mike
It replaces what normally would be the voltage regulators for the CPUQuote:

8-pin is right above 24-pin ;)
P.S. I hope that in a few years it all gonna be on digital PWM.
For the idiot in the forum (me), what's the main benefit of the digital PWM? Or.. what even makes it 'digital'? Yes I read the article.
Instead of using mosfets to control CPU voltage, a chip controls regulates the voltage this allows much more stable vCore (i htink)Quote:

There are alot of ceramic capacitors there which seamed to look like resistors.
Strange thing I can`t find manufacturer of that PWM IC. Anyone has any hints about this ?
new stuff ,digital PWM , hehe
Digital PWM ain`t quite new ;)
hmm so does this mean instead of hardmodding the board, in order to go above and beyond, we would need software or bios mods
Looks sweet
From what I can tell the manufacturer is CPL, and acording to this page, it has 5 phase powerQuote:

how will this effect vmods?
GreatlyQuote:

like it was said, alot. since now there wont be as many seperated areas for sensing and feed and output and such, since everything combined pretty much into one package.
P8 connector is there, just above ATX 24-pin connector.Quote:

Looks to be very well laid out with no clutter, too bad my 170 wont fit :clap:
very nice lookin board, too bad there's not 3rd pcie slot, or second cpu socket :D
Yea this board looks amazing, I love how they use copper heatsinks for the chipsets and how they are using an Evercool VC-RE. I think they really listen to their customers.Quote:

Does the chipset actually need active cooling?
They could've swapped the locations of the EZ switches and the debug display, tho.
