Check this preview from Computex.
And check the 2 last pics in gallery:

Never heard of that mobo.

Sweet motherboard!!! Arguable RAM slots position though, IMHO.
Hopefully some privileged members will have access to these babies anytime soon..
Really curious how will it perform!

Look Up

THe RD482 next to the orange chipset fan means its MVP enabled

Ubermann lol...Still waiting for one of these ? As am I !!! Nice Find !!!

Cool....50 bonus points to anyone who gets some info out of Angry Games

Those RAM slots will be a pain for me, got a watercooling radiator mounted on the back fan mounts of my case. Good to see plenty of space between the PCI-E 16x slots though, and I wonder if we have 100% guarenteed working 5V Vdimm with this board after the enquiry around the NF4's.

The space between the PCI-E slots looks nice and roomy

Dont even see the jp17 jumper on this board.

The jumper used to switch from 3,3v to 5v rail, in the upper right corner on the DFI nf4 boards

here

**[XC]Atomicpineapple** · 05-30-2005, 05:17 AM

I noticed that (the missing jumper) maybe it comes off the 5v line all the time, although from what Ive heard around here thats a very bad idea (yes I dont know that much, it shows), or maybe its all done in BIOS and switches at the correct point with no jumper movement required?

**perkam** · 05-30-2005, 05:37 AM

EDIT: So a guy cant even get excited nowadays

j/k

So yea SATAII for next ATI chipset confirmed:

How come OMG?! It would be weird and less competitive otherwise

Even reference boards by ATi came with SATA II PCIe controllers...

**ettis** · 05-30-2005, 05:47 AM

Nice Nice.. Hope they have fixed all the bugs with vdimm and all

and please tell me it will be in stores soon. Hate if this board will turn up as xpress gruper board aka lot of promises but no real action !!

**[timko]** · 05-30-2005, 05:53 AM

Good job on the extra space between the main PCI-E slots. That will eliminate some temp issues some users are getting currently with their GFX sitting on top of the chipset hsf.

With tha RAM and CPU slots being jointly rotated anti-clockwise 90 degrees it means that only the RAM can really benefit from the lower PSU fan sucking away some hot air

I think they might be doing what ABit is doing to supply higher vdimm, through the bios.

**WeStSiDePLaYa** · 05-30-2005, 06:06 AM

did anybody notice a board that may look like a nf3 939? i think i seen one.

**Vandread** · 05-30-2005, 06:08 AM

this is the chipset layout i wished for my NF4 dfi.... hehe
Looks promising

**situman** · 05-30-2005, 06:11 AM

big ramchips on the graphics card may be out of the question though due to the vdimms being so close to the vidcard

**_Eduard_** · 05-30-2005, 06:33 AM

Making me all horny

also LGA775 with 2xPCI, note that the boards are ordered left-right new to old, or from PCI-E to AGP, and the 3rd one on the top row is the new nf3 s939 AGP

**Ubermann** · 05-30-2005, 06:57 AM

And all BH-5 rams whispers "satan is here to kill us all" when they look at that wall.

**don_vercetti** · 05-30-2005, 07:24 AM

oh man that is just such a cool wall. What would i give to be there. Any word on the DFI nf3 939 release date, then?

**dippyskoodlez** · 05-30-2005, 07:32 AM

ok.. wow.. this or the white one...

Think I'll go with the DFI one for my second wood case, to have them match, but do an Ati logo'd side panel instead

I'm betting they got rid of the 5v jumper because of the immense hassles.

Hopefully they are using a better method, and not limiting our vdimm.
