Opp make yourself one of these.

use #6 bolts and since the holes are just big enough in the mobo for #6 make sure you drill accurate. after you do the 9 holes place the mobo in the support and make 2 #6 holes where you would use the hold down then apply 2 3in #6 bolts to the board with the exact same height as the stand offs with the washers and so on so it looks like this

I gaurt you nothings going to warp at all as I uses some massive force now wihtout any issues.. If you get my design right you could add 200lbs force to the chip wihtout a warp anywhere.

I had issues rem and I think this was my cure.

Sorry for being offtopic here but whats all the red liquid on the mobo jason? Some kind of insulation?

OPP, that 38K is looking good. Good luck with the 'serious' benching

The DFI SLI-DR is looking good... me will have to pre-order one.

Why cant OPP, Big Toe and OPB wait till its out in the shops before they start to tease us with hardware that the 'normal' xtremesystems overclocker cant get yet

1.95Vgpu = 789.... holy snike's batman. Guess I wont worry about my 1.485 at the moment, thanks a bunch OPP!

Graf.... I think the enthusiasm is justified. DFI is putting into the bios all the adjustability the OC'ing community would want and that is VERY EXCITING. Nothing makes me happier than a manufacturing actually meeting the needs of thier customers.

Also, we know from his proven track record on Infinity/LPuB that Oskar Wu puts the real effort to perfecting the bios. Showing respect for DFI's customers that no other OEM bothers to bother with.

Ex: ABit "the enthusiast company" that didnt bother putting CPC on/off control into the bios, when 2x 512M sticks really required it to solve alot of problems for customers.

To me its like having the RedSox put out a motherboard that I know is gonna get me a shot at the Worldseries.....so Im happy to spend the $$ with them, and can look forward to sorting out my OC issues NOT debugging thier product before I get to my OC issues.

The real excitement over this board (justified imho) stems from the fact it heralds the next big step in power dropped into the hands of the enthusiast community....where it takes us, we'll just have to see....

Now THAT's exciting

I see your point and I hope so.

My last mobo purchase was an Abit IC7-MAX3... following montsh worth of buildup. Well, it's a great motherboard indeed, but nowhere near worth all that was once spouted off about it.

To my eyes, what I see that seperates the DFI from the rest is the BIOS options. Voltage settings out of this world, memory settings to make your head spin, etc. etc.

But, I worry that when everyone who wants one gets one, say in a few months, people might find it doesnt overclock much better then the MSI or ASUS, etc. Thats all.

I'm not going to lie, I'd love to have one in my grubby hands right now, but I worry it might end up being just a little bit of a let down.

Thanks for the info!

The colder you get with your phase change, the more careful you have to be with condensation. I'm pretty sure that stuff is to prevent corrosion. I've seen the results that months of condensation can cause (a whole bunch of green, crusty pins falling off the cpu as it is examined!). So this was a wise move, especially with how freaking cold cascades get!!!

wow guys thanks for the updates waiting for zzf to get there ultra back in stock , then im picking up on of these , i know lol that red stuff, from what it sounds is a good idea, but pouring liquid on a 100 electrical product makes me scared . thanks again you 3, hopefully more to come.

btw: either of you guys with the boards have pdp 3200 tccd or ocz 3200 rev 2 tccd, i want to know the performence between these 2 so i can make my choice. thanks

The Red Paint guys Is Electronic circuit paint. good for +200f to -80c

I need it at high clocks

Opp> Looking good. I might have to put something fresh up now. My new chip a week 0442GPMW is a win2000 lover.. Rem the old chip? The one King got "3580mhz" that was a winxp+2003 only chip? This is same, but Its doing win2000
