    OC King of Multi-media integrated motherboard - DFI RS482 Infinity

    All-in-one motherboards are always ordinary - Cheaper, Limited extended ability, and Normal performance.
    February, DFI launched RS482 Infinity, which is ATI RS482+SB450 chipset in
    AMD939 platform.





    New INFINITY packing, very shining.






    Accessories
    This is a board for multi-media demand.
    It owns ATI SurroundView for 4 monitors display as you have an extra ATI VGA card. It also bundles the multimedia cables.







    The board is u-ATX. However, the upgradeability and features are very complete.







    Besides built-in ATI X300 GPU, it has 1 PCI-E 16X for external VGA card, GbE LAN, 7.1 audio and 2 PCIs.








    4 SATA devices.
    Both chips have heat-sink. That’s quite and temperature is under 40 ℃








    IDE and memory slots








    Around the CPU, most caps are Japanese made. The components are discrete level.
    Some parts are OST caps. Anyway, the OST quality is acceptable.








    IO part is another great design.
    Except X300 GPU, it also has DVI-D!
    Left side has S-Viedo which supports HDTV as well and S/PDIF








    User’s manual is always the weakness of DFI.
    Recently, from DFI RDX200/EXPERT to Vensu/RX482, DFI increase the user manuals’ content.







    The Legend...Collecting 7 colors crystal cats, miracle will happen!!!






    Just as expected...Miracle happened...DFI OC blood makes everyone eye-opening.
    All-in-one motherboard reached DDR600 1T in Pi 1M!!!!!








    I cannot believe in 2006, most impressive product of windwithme is this
    all-in-one motherboard.
    I am shocked...
    It can beat other brands discrete hi-end boards.
    It is quite close to DFI own LANParty series.


    Other test is coming soon.
    I will unmask the BIOS OC options, built-in X300 performance in 3DMark
    I won’t be long...........








    RS482 BIOS Introduction


    After checking these OC items, you will not believe this is the BIOS for All in one motherboard

    Main OC Interface






    Under main OC Interface






    CPU Ratio Items







    HT Items






    FSB 200~400. The range is quite wide and you can reach it






    CPU Voltage 0.800V~1.850V







    DRAM Voltage 2.5~3.2V







    DRAM divided frequency options are vary. If your memory is not good enough, you
    can OC your CPU to FSB 300 and your memory in DDR400






    More DRAM options are the winning weapons for DFI to beat the others


    So many DRAMD tunning, there are only DFI own LanParty series and MSI recent Diamond PLUS can compete.











    Built-in ATI X300 can share 32/64/128MB main memory






    BIOS hardware control interface has very friendly intelligent monitors.







    Performance Test

    Configuration

    AMD 939 Opteron 146
    DFI RS482 Infinity
    GSkill 1GBFF/2GBHZ
    ELSA 6600GT / built–in X300
    MAXTOR 30GB 5400 rpm
    Enlight 420W



    Reached 2GBHZ DDR580 1T
    This HZ pair can only reach DDR530~550 in others nF4 mainstream or middle-high boards






    Built-in VGA test. Core speed 300Mhz and memory speed in200Mhz(DDR400) ; share 64MB main memory

    3DMARK2001SE





    3DMARK2003






    6600GT performance

    3DMARK2003





    3DMARK2005





    Collect 7 colors crystal cats again..... Miracle comes again...




    2GB DDR600 1T enter to Windows!!!






    Just spend NTD 3300.

    Good
    1.Great Packing and Plenty Accessories
    2.Components usage is very good
    3.Great extended ability – 4 SATA, 2 PCI, 1 PCI-E 16X
    4.Wonderful multimedia features. 8 channel audio with S/PDIF. Add one more ATI VGA card can reach 4 monitors.
    5.Even good performance in add-on VGA cards
    6.BIOS OC tuning features are rich. It can reach CPU 300FSB and sync with memory. The OC ability is close to top level OC motherboards.
    7.Built-in X300 display core. This is the top built-in VGA in K8 platform (X300SE market price is over 1500NTD..)

    Bad
    1. No SATAII (This is the ATI’s problem)



    As per this motherboard’s price, the features are cannot be beaten.
    It includes OC, silent, multimedia and cheap.
    This is perfect board for DIY users. Windwithme is glad to recommend RS482
    Infinity to all of you.

    Shamino OC'ed the onboard video in his VR-Zone review. Can you confirm the 83% OC he saw. Might be okay for some games at 640x480. He also saw 320HTT. Not bad for a HTPC board.

    This board has been looking pretty good since the VR-Zone review. I wish I had $ to build a new HTPC right now.

    Seems to be a great value board, better than all Asus board that have 1T problems.....
    But the Red pcb color makes it looks like a MSI

    Very cool m-atx board, I love the dual monitor outputs.

    I wish board makers would mount the CMOS like it's mounted here. Great space saver.

    It's going to be (if everything is confirmed) the Micro-ATX board to get.

    Nevertheless the Biostar 6100-939 is also a great board, i have taken it to 315 but at 2T. If this DFI is able to get to 320 or even 300 at 1T i'm switching boards.

    The non SATA 2 support is bad, given the new HDD's that are coming out.

    Now the absolute m-atx board would have the SB600 southbridge chipset and a better placement of components (like the Biostar), that ATX cable is going to be awfull for most m-atx cases, like Q-pack and the Silverstone Sugo SG01. All this and 300 with 1T mem support.

    Looks like a solid semi-budget mobo with a solid chipset (I can fully live with the low USB performance of the SB450) and a very good bios. Now I just need to know if it will run with a 20- pin PSU...

    Is there any problem in using an micro ATX board on a normal computer? On a ATX case?

    Of course not. All (that I know of) ATX cases can mount a mATX board. Actually, right now I'm thinking the same as you

    It has a comparably slow data transfer rate through USB, check this review of the DFI UT RDX200 that also has the SB450 southbridgehttp://www.anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2572&p=11 and it lacks SATA2. I can't see how the comparably slow transfer rate could affect mouse/keyboard performance. It's good enough for me, I don't transfer alot of data through USB.

    By the way, windwithme, is your Enlight 420w PSU 20- or 24- pin? Perhaps it's this one? http://www.bigbruin.com/html/enlight...upply_revi.htm
    I couldn't find it at the enlight website.
