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

    I just got it 2 days ago and had a preview
    Let see if this nF4 board, under 110USD, has DFI’s great OC blood

    Look at the box first, another style, depending on personal like



    The full view of board, completely different with DFI LP series


    Boards left corner


    Boards right corner with 4 SATA ports. Hope they can change to more pretty Chipset FAN...


    The components around the CPU


    The full view of IO panel, it’s with 1394!


    The bundle accessories are very simple but enough.. The worse point is the manual is too thin.


    Test Platform Configuration

    AMD K8 939 3000+ 0441SPMW(CPU No.2)
    DFI nF4-DAGF
    GSkill 512LA
    Leadtek PX6200TD
    Maxtor 30GB 5400rpm
    DELTA 300W

    Let’s check the BIOS first
    CPU Frequency and Voltage Control
    CPU maximum can rise default voltage to 0.45V more
    DRAM maximum is 3.2V


    DRAM Parameter, not as many as LP but compare to the others, the adjustable values are quite many already







    Basic Test,256MBX2 DDR600 1T 2.6V Reached


    Long time no use my No.2 CPU...1.47V 2.6G Reached


    6200 modified to 8 pipes, test 3Dmark2003 by default 300/500, the numbers are still over the standard


    Coclusion:
    If DFI can make the user manual be more rich, in this price, nF4-DAGF can be the value board also equips the OC ability.
    After MSI, DFI is coming
    For the users who don’t have such high budget, this is great news.

    PS: This version is not the released version. The test result is for reference only. We are glad to see if the released version can reach higher performance.

    Something more exciting is...My mobile also can watch video…
    WOW...Really Happy
    Next time, probably I will test this mobile phone or the 520W PSU I bought today

    Just show you some photos which mobile playing video

    My mobile has monochrome black on green display, am i not cool anymore ?

    Looks like a nice board, what can the memory voltage be set to?

    --n/m im blind =P

    Still a good board, for the price, but not a replacement for my beloved ultra-d, not that it was intended to be i suppose.

    just what i always wanted from DFi, a budget overlockers board ! hopefully if stocks hold up, i'lll get one around october. The board does look a little small though, and there doesn't seem to be alot of space around the HSF for a massive heatsink.....
    DFI + venice + massive heatsink + my tornados and fan controller = 3ghz ( hopefully) .

    Wow nice find, looks like DFI is keen to compete at all levels for A64 mobo sales. Good luck to them, they make great boards.

    Nice mobo. It looks nearly the same as CHAINTECH's VNF4Ultra.

    << its up on the DFI site . The picture looks pretty much identical to what Windwithinme has , except for a few colour changes here and there . Whats the price range for these things ? i'm hoping less than 100 US .
