DFI nF4-DAGF – The board considers not only Price but also OC

[Stumpjumper5200]

Looks like a really nice deal. I could care less about the manual though...the only thing I've used a motherboard manual for is to check out the front panel connection pins.

[Jamo]

wow looks good, any word on if this will be released in UK? if so what sort of price we looking at? the good old $100 in US = £100 in UK??

[conrad.maranan]

This looks to be a very handsome board with good OC features for the price. I'd like to know of a release date as well since I have a few builds coming up. :thumbsup:

that pcb is just plain ugly

[Frodin]

Hmm, this looks like a very good bang-for-the-bucks- board (alliteration) along with a 3000+ Venice, a 6200 -> 6600 mod'n clocked card and some nice and cheap new bh5. A bargain indeed if the overclockability is somewhat consistent.

Looks like something asus would make

[conrad.maranan]

I like it. It has that vintage Abit BH-6 look to it.

thanks

now if we could only get a relese date!

The best memory chips ever made

I see, I see. Now if I could only get the relese date!

According to DFI, there is also an ultra version of this board.

[annoncompgeek]

If there is an Ultra version I hope it has the 4 volt vdimm setup like the Ultra-D. Otherwise i wont be buying an nforce 4 chipset at all b/c I won't be upgrading my videocard to pci express until my agp card dies and since i can't find the volt-mod for it It might live a bit longer than my stuff usually does. Any word on how the quasi-agp setup works and if theres a performance difference compared with a true agp slot?

[cupra]

oaa ya windwithme !
that is look like nice board
and man you have cool mobile to

[soundx98]

DFI's strength was always in their commercial division b4 Oskar came over and they targeted high end users with the NF2, Bet it's a great board for some.

with mb's so cheap compared to everything else the cost dif doesn't seem worth it to me. Missing Bios features and 4Vdimm (and I like the bling-bling).

I look at the placement of the bios socket under that bottom slot and all the way towards the rear of the rig and I shudder. As many times as I pulled it from the DFI NF2s I just got a feeling it would be a total nightmare if I had too. ANd I never met a DFI board I haven't had to at least once.

[Discipuli]

anyone know if we will see these before venice is out? Also, if i had to choose between the chaintech nforce 4 ultra, and this DFI, which one should i go with?

Wait for the DFI, chaintech is an okay company , but it isn't exactly know for quality products , if you want to rush it, get an MSI or an ECS instead .

[Discipuli]

the DFI nforce 4 ultra D is an 'ultra- ultra' board, with 2x PCI X16 ports that can be modded to sata , i would love to see a cheaper version of it without the extra ports , and hopefully with the same or better audio solution ( VIA ENVY!!!)

Do you mean modded to sli?

[situman]

whats the volts on the vdimm? anyone?? i might have missed it. Now if it doesnt have the dying syndrome like the Lanparty, it might just be a better board than the ABIT AN8.

"DRAM maximum is 3.2V"

[thebluesgnr]

I like the Vcore circuit is in a more well-ventilated area (compared to the terrible location on the LP nF4).

I would definately choose this one over the LP too, I don't see anything too special on that board but then I don't really go for extreme clocks.

[situman]

since theres more space in the middle of the board, I dont see why they cant move the chipset above the pci slot. I mean it would make cooling it a whole lot easier

[mcnbns]

Now if it doesnt have the dying syndrome like the Lanparty, it might just be a better board than the ABIT AN8.

What dying syndrome? Do you have a link?

No offence, but if this can get anywhere near the HTT speeds of the Ultra-D (which it just might be able to) then it will be better than an AN8. Even if it can't, AN8 still has sucky VDIMM.

[thebluesgnr]

There are several threads here about dead LP's.

[Revv23]

What dying syndrome? Do you have a link?

its pretty common to hear about random deaths on DFI NF4's around here, whether we are unlucky i dont know, i have no idea what percentage actually die, but it seems like i hear about more many DFI deaths then there should be on unmodded motherboards.

[situman]

Thanks to those that actually read the threads for backing me up on this one.
