[2000army]

DIE eWiz DIE

$100 for shipping

86$ for me , but it s too much !!!

[screwtech02]

What do you mean hardware. Do you mean the Slave and master cards, or newer Bridge format.

If your gonna use a slave/master combo, you ought to be fine, its just the non-master/slave Crossfire takes a bigger hit in performance cause it has to use coms thru the pci-e slot. Someone correct me if im wrong here....

ohh wow thats not fair ...

[Nazu]

well here in portugal cost 169€uros but will arrive 11th (next week)

Ouch.... This seemed a good candidate for my next build but the price is too high. Seems like the Asus P5N-E SLI will be on my shopping list.

same here. At least I am in CA and so is Ewiz. Should have my board by monday tuesday.

I don't want a 4300, will be getting the new 6420 or the 6600 once prices drop.

Then you would probably be better of on the 975X chipset.

Awesome rig you are gonna have yourself there
what cpu?
and P182 you better do some nice cable management! (how much did you pay for the case?)

[mucker]

Mines on the way, should have it by Tuesday. The BX2 has been a very rough ride for me, hopefully the jumper parade will stop........

Thanks! Waiting for April 22 Intel price cuts to get an E6700 or Q6600, not sure yet. I'll do a test build with my friend's E6600.

Yeah, the cable management was what finally sold me on the P182 -- the pre-cut holes and extra room behind the mobo tray are sweet.

I'm looking forward to the first XS DFI P965-S testing thread!

I have come to realize this processor is too powerful for what I do.

LOL, looks like all he does is benching. Never knew you could get too powerful a cpu for that.

Look at the names.

[dogsx2]

Look at the names.

I didn't notice that. It was too powerful for you?

Doing a little free advertisement?

Yeah I guess but it was relevant so W/E.
And yes I really have no need for e6700 I can be happy with e4300 and my GPU for all my games

Nah I don't need CF, and the board has hit 500FSB with a 6600 and 4GHZ clocks. Granted I am not an expert, but I really think this will be one of the best DFI boards they have put out.

[AMD-me]

No SLi =

When you fellows get them, post your results.

If you feel you must have the power of two GPUs grab a 8950 when it's released.

Besides being hot, the 680i reference boards have had too many problems for my tastes. Hard disk data corruption when they were first released and lately some weird issue with memory.

[AMD-me]

Well if this board is good then I will have to hop on it. How does it compare to the P5N-e sli?

Yea thats a great idea. The old 7950 was damn fast onced O/Ced.

Hits 500FSB with stock NB volts, the Asus needs extra volts I believe. DFI looks to have a higher max FSB too. The P5N-e SLI has 1T/2T option and 2x IDE ports though. I love my optical drives (IDE) but I'll still go the DFI over the Asus, which I was previously considering - purely for the overclocking satisfaction.
