Nice purchase. Where did you buy it ? Care to share...
Btw does it include the "transpiper" heatsink like the DFI package ?? don't seem to see it in your pic...

Unfortunally no.It does not include the "transpiper" heatsink like the DFI package.I bought it from plaisio (greek store)
@pcfreak..I hope Tony will do his magic again and give us a decent bios

Nice! Thanks for sharing pics
Do you have plans to try 3 GPUs in Tri-Fire? Are the drivers even out?
Cheers!

Sometimes, it's not your time. Sometimes, you have to make it your time. Sometimes, it can ONLY be your time.
I am also interested in this mobo since only the Sapphire version is available here (at least for now) but I am concerned about bios support from Sapphire.
If it could be flashed to dfi bios that should be great
Go clock it now

So DFI bios is ok with this MOBOlooking forward to bios shots so we can compare with dfi...

(I just saw it @ pctechnologySo DFI bios is ok with this MOBO
these are great news! well done

Good news indeed. Should be a cheaper alternative compared to DFI's offering since it can also be flash with DFI's bios..
ok guys bought this baby for 90 euros (!!!!!) just yesterday , i believe compared to the 220 the DFI asks it was a megahuge bargain. Now , does your mobos stuck in the Silicon image read page? mine does it quite often
ALso , which DFI bios is suitable for it , all of them or some particular ones?

Wow, that's really cool. It makes sense. I mistook it for a DFI board until I saw a Sapphire logo on one of the chips. I thought my world was just turning upside down, but no, it seems they just have a semi-clone?
Particle's First Rule of Online Technical Discussion:
As a thread about any computer related subject has its length approach infinity, the likelihood and inevitability of a poorly constructed AMD vs. Intel fight also exponentially increases.
Likewise, the frequency of a car pseudoanalogy to explain a technical concept increases with thread length. This will make many people chuckle, as computer people are rarely knowledgeable about vehicular mechanics.
Rule 2:
When confronted with a post that is contrary to what a poster likes, believes, or most often wants to be correct, the poster will pick out only minor details that are largely irrelevant in an attempt to shut out the conflicting idea. The core of the post will be left alone since it isn't easy to contradict what the person is actually saying.
Rule 2A:
When a poster cannot properly refute a post they do not like (as described above), the poster will most likely invent fictitious counter-points and/or begin to attack the other's credibility in feeble ways that are dramatic but irrelevant. Do not underestimate this tactic, as in the online world this will sway many observers. Do not forget: Correctness is decided only by what is said last, the most loudly, or with greatest repetition.
Rule 3:
When it comes to computer news, 70% of Internet rumors are outright fabricated, 20% are inaccurate enough to simply be discarded, and about 10% are based in reality. Grains of salt--become familiar with them.
Remember: When debating online, everyone else is ALWAYS wrong if they do not agree with you!
Random Tip o' the Whatever
You just can't win. If your product offers feature A instead of B, people will moan how A is stupid and it didn't offer B. If your product offers B instead of A, they'll likewise complain and rant about how anyone's retarded cousin could figure out A is what the market wants.
they bought the design from DFI and its the exact same board.
The 2 diffrences are that the colours are diffrent and the Sapphire version doesnt hve the extra heatpipe. And the DFI costs more.
Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

i know my grammar sux so stop hitting me
Damn I payed ~230€ for that board few month ago. To switch between the DFI and the Sapphire biosoes you must use the DOS utility. Howevere the sapphire bioses seems to be the dfi bioses with an sapphire splashscreen. The changes found in the DFI bioses showed up in the sapphire bioses 1-3 weeks later.
If you plan to run linux don't run sensors-detect with lm-sensors versions < 3.0.1 it can kill your cpu (version 3.0.2 fixed that issue).
dos eh , am i correct to remember the command line , ie A:\>awdflash xxxxxxxxx.BIN /py /sn /cd /cp /cc /cks /R
