DFI looks to have a winner here.

He probably used a 120mm fan to cool the board.

[ugp]

Yeah well I am going to use my AC vent to cool mine...

Right now my CPU usually runs 36-38 and my chipset runs around 28-30...how is that compared to the chipset on the DFI?

[Tony]

I have 2 x mains voltage fans I have set up with a speed controller and a mounting arm so i can push lots of cool air on test boards.On full speed they push 300+cfm together but I rarely use them over 100CFM total.

They are 120MM in size.

[ugp]

But what is the temp on them?

[b|gf|sh]

bigtoe, any new news on the s939 board (i.e. when you'll get to test it), or any idea of which uk resellers will stock the s754 board first?

[ugp]

Is the 939 really going to perform better than the 754?

Since I know the L2 cache size is different and all....

I tried the NB-1c. It doesn't even cover the chipset. It's too small. Someone needs to make a chipset cooler specially designed for the nf3-250gb. I just put a 40mm fan over the stock cooler for now and that seems to work pretty well.

Alright...well I am guessing someone will make one for the nForce 3 if it is known to get hot...

The mounting holes would need to be further apart to be able to have a larger chipset heatsink

You could always watercool it though

[ugp]

Well I cant afford that...

What flavors do they come in, what is the biggest chip and what is it called exactly?

I'll request one.

socket 754 90nm mobile (Oakville) 35w. I'm not sure what the rated speeds are yet. Request one for me too.

I had to add cooling to the chipset to get 400HTT stable, then I pushed 100cfm over the board to get 425HTT stable

I'm sure you did use cooling

But to max out a good 1:1 clock the stock cooler is fine

Are you sure that's 0.09µ will be available on S754 I tough that was only for S939 ?

[swetmore]

Trans Am,

Are there any special tricks to get the mobiles to work in Nforce 3 Mobos? I read somewhere someone had to put a regular 754 in the mobo first.

I would like to try a socket 754 90nm mobile (Oakville) 35w when they are available. Do you have full control over the multipliers?

I have Corsair XMS 3200 memory rated at 2-3-3-6@ 400 mhz. I have had this memory on my barton running as high as 444mhz@ 2-3-3-6 @2.7. Do you think I could get say 460 out of this memory on this board, or should I get OCZ?

[swetmore]

New Egg has this Proc. Is is worth a crap? Will it work on the Nforce 3's?

Go preorder it!!! read my new thread link is there....

they said you zipzoomfly and went to someone else!!!

[ugp]

http://www.gameve.com/gve/Store/Prod...sku=MB-DFI-023

There is the link screw it ill post it here anyway...

[__TRONIK__]

I ordered mine!
after shipping cost it is a bit more expensive than zip would have been, and you don't get the second day air....but resellers has a good rating for them and their are plenty of claims of quick shipping.

Let's cross our fingers for no delays!

[ugp]

I did regular shipping... for the $6.75...because I believe we get them on the 2nd anyway dont we?

[chunkylover77]

I'm in. Sweet.

[ugp]

LOL! Come on everyone post when you have preordered it...so we can see how many people are getting this!

[geoff2k]

Just ordered mine. The page claims:

"This item will be released on 9/2/2004"

Which I'm reading as "we will ship them on 9/2". I doubt they are guaranteeing delivery by 9/2.

Edit: Vivian's e-mail says:

"The estimated shipment date is still September 2nd"

So that pretty much confirms that they will be shipped 9/2.

[spaceman]

Umm, OK, I'll post here too then. Ordered mine 3rd, if they went by ugp's thread, lol.

[bldegle2]

ordered mine too.

I use these "finger choppers". www.sidewindercomputers.com/ystech120mm.html I know it says 45 decibles, but they don't seem that loud to me.
