Shocker, if you fail on a bios flash your a goner. I dunno what that has to dowith NB sink :P
I'm still waiting for my new Dk from Newegg. Bios Corruptness sucks. wish they had a removable bios chip in the dk
My board has a sticker on the NB heatsink and am watercooling The cpu, nb and sb. When this sticker is tampered or the nb heatsink is removered then the rma will no longer counting. How did your bios get corrupt and what model of the board do you have. My is the all solid cap model and if flashing the bios means corruption(bios) then i have to stick to my current bios for now.

On the DK P35 board if a BIOS flash results in the board needing to be sent for RMA there will most likely be a charge for flashing if the warranty sticker has been removed.

The DK X38 comes with he northbridge heatsink not attached. You put it on yourself. The Dk x38 also doe snot have a removable bios chip.
Vista x64 + winflash = instant crash when you try to update bios. No warrenty was voided. DFI's own website has instructions to follow which were faulty. DFI was made aware of vista x64 + winflash problem by me last week. I hope they put a disclaimer up.
When I get my dk X38 next week I will even be scared to boot from CD/floppy to update zie bios.
Shocker, I'm an american born german. if that makes sense. Germans parents. Weinbrenner ;-)My board has a sticker on the NB heatsink and am watercooling The cpu, nb and sb. When this sticker is tampered or the nb heatsink is removered then the rma will no longer counting
As has already been said, if one does not attempt to bypass kernel mode driver signing WinFlash will not run. If this is circumvented a user should be competent enough to understand the consequences.
Praz is right. All end users fault and responsibility. Can't ever trust a companies website when it comes to your own Hardware.
Besides the bios issue I like the DK. Funny thing is I have a 8800gt no ATi for crossfire. Kinda defeats the purpose.
