Isnt that 8-pin connector BTX style? I'm pretty sure any psu that will work with BTX will work with this mobo. And if we can still get 4v without using 5v rail, why does it matter?

Really looking forward to this, can't wait till ATi starts owning everybody again. CROSSFIRE!!!

[Shroomalistic]

they make a 8 pin to four pin adapter right?

[xenolith]

Yes

Edit: nvm, I was right, the link above is the proper part.

Wow, power supplies are getting too confusing.

[RVWinkle]

The 8pin EPS 12v has been used on ATX server mobos for a while now so you can always look for a server power supply. I know antec a line of them and that they're reliable but probably not so hot for xtreme usage. I've seen doa enermaxes but NEVER a doa antec, and I've seen hundereds.

955 mobos are requiring the 8pin plug too (at least intel and asus)so I guess it's time to upgrade that 350 sparkle.

[IvanAndreevich]

OT: I've had 2 Antecs die on me within 6 months.

[Borgschulze]

Neat memory placement.
Total opposite from what is normal.

[CyNix]

same design as the new rev of the SLI-DR board..

[dippyskoodlez]

oooo I dont see a 4v jumper either, so they probably used the same mosfet-layout as the ati..

Fixed their spacing to. wow well done.

Too bad everyone has already bought their own Would have been nice if I could get my 2 systems to match

[Trice]

This is why I hate motherboard revisions......

[alpha0ne]

Any idea as to when this revision is being released ?? I just bought a board today

[xgman]

so the new rev of the sli-dr also has an 8 pin instead of the normal 4 pin and no 4 pin molex either?

Im betting they just used the exact same power layout. looks identical to the ati one, just swapped the nf4 chipset in instead of rd480.

[alpha0ne]

I see 4 power reg chokes compared to 3 on the old board, yes ??

[xgman]

Yes

Found out you can only adapt an existing 8 pin plug from the PS to a 4 pin square type. Not the other way around. Any PS without a 8 pin will need to be hard modded or replaced.

All I know is this is getting to be an expensive mod on my PCPC 510.

[mrlobber]

Any more information on the new DFI nF4 revision anywhere?

Edit: found myself http://www.dfi-street.com/forum/show...light=revision

[xgman]

I checked around a little but no ones talking much yet.

[mrbios]

im falling behind on the info lately of whats going on with new bits, on the topic of the ATI chipset boards though: a few months back a red and white ATI board was posted on here and looked amazing with 3 waterblocks on it, was that board a taster or is it real and still going to be made?

a little off topic but meh

[xgman]

the new dfi nf4 rev has 3 PCI slots as well as a Promise SATA controller

[The Mofo]

Those Promise SATA controllers really suck.

Yes, but according to Grayskull (in response to powering the Grouper) a good ATX12V 20-pin PSU should work with these Crossfire boards. But we are taling about DFI after all...

You must be referring to the Grouper (Sapphire's Crossfire board). As far as we know, yes it will be made. Hint: don't bother asking about the ETA.

more manufacturers need to copy Abit's clever heatpipe NB technology. Seems Asus is doing it too. Much better than a fan thats going to get clogged with dust and die.

Except for those inversed case users... -0-... I love the AN8Sli I put on sale... only problem was the way silent heatpipe is layed out -0-

[ninja_xxx]

oh man that new rev looks sweet too

too bad most of use are go'n to need new psu
can someone tell me all the PSU that use the 8pin power connector...520 and up so we can get ready for these mb's

[xgman]

Most PS's that are rated for Intel servers will have the 8 pin I think.
