Where exactly is the revision located at? Down in the lower right corner it says "Rev A" only. Is it in the blank rectangle between the PCI slots? It looks like mine says "A1 something something Z something."

well that def sucks.. now im a bit disa[pointed to hear that.. i sent back one that would not post .. it was a AA1.. i got the AA0 in its place.. i guess i should have sent this one back also i have not had a chance to try this one since i got it back, so im hoping it even works nowOriginally Posted by Jor3lBR

That's where the Rev number is (3rd Slot) Pci:
//RETIRED-o00o--°(_)°--o00o-OVERCLOCKER//
mine is taiwan i think it suks only can do 555fsb
i just think they used different part for nb voltage regulator
i think all x48 are made in china i doubt i be buyin dfi again if they gonna charge premium price n get it made cheap
I must agree with you there sam. What's the point in having the high-end equipment (with a high-end cost) and that is being overpowered by 'old' technology?!
For starters the production should be much much more reliable, no bad batches, no bad boards, no differences between revs or country they come from etc...
I will never put a DFI on my case again without a real test! I did that with my very first X38 (watercooling takes 2 day labor for prope and perfect installation), then rma came (Disk Read Errors and Bios Freeze), then came the second X38 that I didn't even mount send it right back to San Jose (just look at this soldering job and how the case arrived: http://i12.tinypic.com/7wgd9qb.jpg http://i14.tinypic.com/72105ec.jpg http://i11.tinypic.com/6q2v4gp.jpg ) ...
My third X38 Rev A01 is perfect and works flawless till this date.
But now with my X48 also mounted on watercooling I have to waist 1 more day to pull all out, 3 days till new one arrive and 2 more mounting everythingback and shipping money to rma back and then reassemble everything again.
All that if it's proven that I have a malfuction like Pinot (vcore upping = post shut down and Clear Cmos only way to get back and also frozen bios screen)... All that with STOCK (bios default loaded)...
But why do I still buying DFI since NF2?!?!?!?!

aside from the sticker, you can check your mobo revision on CPU-Z
I'm going to buy ATI 3870x2 DDR4 videocard, can anyone confirm that it will or will not work on DFI X38 board?
I've heard about problems with single 3870x2
my revizion is AA0

Thanks. I have mine running so the vid card is in the way and I couldn't see it.That's where the Rev number is (3rd Slot) Pci:
CPU-z info is kinda messed up (manufacturer & board) but rev says "01."aside from the sticker, you can check your mobo revision on CPU-Z
I have a GDDR3 version of the HD3870X2 and I've had no problems with it that weren't fixed with drivers.I'm going to buy ATI 3870x2 DDR4 videocard, can anyone confirm that it will or will not work on DFI X38 board?

I have an HIS brand card, and my OS is Vista 32-bit.
You can also see the Rev # behind the Bernstein Sound Card.
After the P/N number you'll see it.
//RETIRED-o00o--°(_)°--o00o-OVERCLOCKER//
but is the bernstein sound card always going to be the same revision as the mobo itself i would think they could be different being 2 different parts..

is it better to use the stock NB heatsink or a HR-05-IFX?
Finally got my x38 after 2 months, but i'm a newbie in terms of overclocking.
Using Q6600 + OCZ ReaperX.
Ram currently running 266/800 5-5-5-15.
Can't seem to OC the processor, Q6600 1.325VID
Tried 8X450, 8X400, 9X400. Following dfi club settings.
Use the HR, stock heatsink needs to be lapped first
@nles: Try 333/800 strap
i thought soUse the HR, stock heatsink needs to be lapped first
@nles: Try 333/800 strap
I'm using TRUE 120.
Now running 8 X 400, Ram 400/800. Is it a good settings? Other ram settings also base on the OCZ ram guide at dfi club.
I tried 9 X 400, but after boot into windows it auto-restart.
what memory and NB voltage you using?
Only use 333/667 and 333/800 straps at first.
I'm running 450*9 with my Q6600, 333/800 strap. 1,4V NB - 1,343V VTT - 2,15V Vdimm. But try with 333/667 first (not sure about the 400 straps but I think someone said they were buggy)
Hmm, using 2.1V memory volt, 1.504V NB Volt
Is this how you test your stability, CPU voltage seems quite high.
Thanks for the input will try out.
Yeah you can probably step down with NB and CPU voltage. Just use 1,4V NB and 333/667 strap to test oput your FSB.
