well its a little more expensive then the evga board...
at least to me...
nice mother board dude congrats, Wish there was 7 segment display on my board to.
well can any owners post their oc results??
Some members on evga's forum have replaced their heat pipes with chipset tower coolers in order to maintain stability when overclocking. Those chipset towers go for around $30 ea, and usually for evga's they install two of them. Thats ~$50-60 extra that I would be buying to get evga's motherboard cooled the way I'd like it.
DFI's solution is better than the heatpipe design, at least thats the way it looks like. Andre said the SB chipset fan is quiet, but I'd like to know the RPMs. =)

Can someone with this board do me a huge favor and measure:
- the box bound by the 4 NB retention loops
- the pin-to-pin distance on the SB retention pins
- the pin-to-pin distance on the DPWM heatsink retention pinsa 60mm fan fits the fan clips. dont know about overclocking yet.Posted by DOGCHAINX
-What size of fan can you put on the NB heatpipe/heatsink? And does it need it when overclocking?
Ill get the DPWM later, too hard to measure when its in the case.

wuts the maximum cu voltage??
can u post the mxium fsb u can do??
thx
If my next client meeting goes well I'm ordering this mofo.
Thanks for the pics and stats, I'm glad I held out on other 680s til now.
currently have it running orthos blend - E6400 at 3.5ghz 438fsb x8, if it likes that I'll push it a little, I hope it likes it.
Thanks for the measurements Eyeborg!
How hot does the DPWM heat sink get when loading up your OC'd proc?
where can we buy this board, can we even buy it now?
Nowhere yet. Check newegg tomorrow or early next week. I posted info about it in this thread, look back a page or two. I did NOT verify this info. I just took it off a thread that was in DFIclub forum.
I sent an email to newegg asking if they have an ETA, but they said they don't know ETA's on new item shipments (BS...ask managing staff for hell's sake! You're purchasing it afterall!)
There are other countries other than the USA that have seen these in stock. MotherboardPro.com (i do NOT recommend them, since i have no dealings with them) list it as shipping 4/30/07. Newegg might get it sooner, but I doubt.

Is it just me or is that poor? The burst and seek is ok for those drives but the STR curve is terrible - it looks to me like something is thottling as you should see the curve slowly drop down as it moves to the inner cylinders. Your average STR per drive is only 35MB/sec... that's not good. Something is capping it.
EVGA users were having similar problems with their boards... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=128803 You may want to check out post #66 on page 3... some users were able to improve things by turning off read caching and command queing although this was not a sure-fire fix for all.
For comparison, here's a pair of 8MB Cache 74GB Raptors on NF4 (which is not the best RAID controller either) and it keeps up with 4 drives on this thing!? Yikes!
If RAID0 performance matters to you, then you may want to consider an Areca RAID controller with this board... (shown below with 4 74GB Raptors with 8MB Cache each)

Two suppliers have pre-orders in Australia, both saying 5th of May as ETA. I called the disty who confirmed May 5th.

That's close to what these guys are saying (4th of May)... http://www.motherboardpro.com/displa...&categoryId=29
