OPB's DFI LP NF4-DR is Here

**D_o_S** · 01-12-2005, 12:46 PM

I hope to get one too...

So the wait was really worth it this time...

**blinky** · 01-12-2005, 12:46 PM

req: some good OCs on your fx-55 on this mobo with chily1 cascade

**charlie** · 01-12-2005, 12:52 PM

Oh Mannnn.......
that thing is AMAZING. It is beautiful, it is an ENGINEERING MASTERPIECE. It is the jewel we've ALL been waiting for.
Notice to Asus/MSI/Abit>>>

DFI will own you all. Take a hint and start making REAL OC'er boards or you will lose th enthusiast market....period.

charlie, well

unfortunately ABIT did lost the enthusiast market already!

(due to their a$$h0leness

)

**Stumpjumper5200** · 01-12-2005, 01:03 PM

That molex connector is probably the same thing as the ASUS EZ Connector (or whatever it's called). For ASUS, that's what you use if you don't have the 4 pin 12V ATX connector.

So the question: When will we see this motherboard in the states? I plan on giving it a good home in a big Lian-Li with an Iwaki roommate.

This is driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AGGHRRRRRRR!!!!!
OPB why did you have to tease us like this? You are a sick man! Like teasing a hungry wolf. You are gonna pay!

**Arkangyl** · 01-12-2005, 01:14 PM

Dammit, why'd I have to get an AGP 6800 Ultra and lock myself into AGP...

meh

Can you post any pics on how those jumpers work in more detail?

Agree 100%.

Btw, Charlie, doesn't that big red 4 in your sig count the days left until you get your hands on that DFI?

**eva2000** · 01-12-2005, 02:01 PM

nice.. love the doll hehe... me thinks of getting a Kenshin one (same as avatar) just for hardware pic accompanying

**HARDCORECLOCKER** · 01-12-2005, 02:09 PM

Very intresting board - maybe best NF4. Better MEM divider than other boards and giant HTT, don't need the booster - it's "built in" and crazy Vcore of 2,1 - but we have to wait for its whole OC performance, I mean BIOS and bandwith and all the other stuff.

I'm looking forward to see if the DFI will clock better than NEO4...........

**AMDnewbie** · 01-12-2005, 03:03 PM

yeah...hope to see ur test soon as I would probably rcv mine at end of jan locally....really can't wait after seeing that beauty...

**Zeus** · 01-12-2005, 03:12 PM

Guys, settle down.

Remember the all hyped up DFI LanParty UT NF3 250GB?

I've got the feeling i'm one of last ones over here still using it.

Lets just hope this one will be something special and will see a new bios now and then.

OPB, i'm ready for your benches...bring it on!

I am really serious dude.

...I am blaming Oskar now

and want him to read this thread see how many hungry wolves here to eat me

**all I have to say is this board is Master piece, period. take a guess: how many volt for DRam I need to get "2x512mb" 1t DDR600?

2.8-3.0?

**Jupiler** · 01-12-2005, 03:32 PM

I suppose you're talking about GSkill PC4400-4800 RAM?
Wild guess : 2.70V ?

**DudeMiester** · 01-12-2005, 03:33 PM

Oh I must get this mobo, but I'm going to wait for the new revision Winchesters. Plus I need to find a buyer for my AGP Geforce 6800GT.

My guess:

default/stock voltage for the RAM.

**eva2000** · 01-12-2005, 03:34 PM

nah Zeus you're not alone NF3 250Gb

**drunkenmaster** · 01-12-2005, 04:04 PM

personally, not to say its crap, nothing close to that. but its not exactly a distant cousin to msi's design is it? yes much better voltage options, but most ath 64 boards are very very alike others and clock for clock its all about the cpu not what the board makers can do with the chipset.

Bios writing is pretty important, and we all hail oskar for his. But plenty nf3 150 and 250 boards could do great fsb. its more about the chip and the mem and getting a little lucky with the batches of both that you get in my opinion.

Infact, well talking from my standpoint, i'm happy with onboard sound/lan/most stuff, i need, if i'm being picky, one pci slot for my audigy 2, thats it. With 8 sata and two pata ports, you don't need pci raid, or lan, and if you want to capture video you do it on a cheap ass rig as it needs no power, theres few other uses for pci, also with zero availability of pci-e cards that aren't gfx i don't need a pci-e slot for anything but gfx, more space between cards is essential, and a little more space between gfx and cpu might go down better, can't quite tell but a tall topside insulation or heatsink on the upper most card could interfer with cpu cooling.

**synergy321** · 01-12-2005, 04:11 PM

ah who cares its uv senstive!!! woot

, lolzorz this board is going in my atc-110 teehee

Difference with this board is the extra mile DFI went to ensure its a good quality board. That is, using high quality 6 layer pcb, really good japanese capacitors, sinking mosfets etc, most manufacturers dont do that.

and we've already seen this board is capable of 370mhz 1:1 (despite the crappy 3-6-6-12 ram timings)

**Tirlista** · 01-12-2005, 04:32 PM

Like everyone else I am (barely managing, lol) waiting for some benchmarks.

So Please, let OPB or someone post some screenies!

26th it gets to Oz... Seems like such a long time.

**Cranox** · 01-12-2005, 04:46 PM

Damn nice board , DFI knows what Extreme peeps want

**~~Onepagebook~~** · 01-12-2005, 06:25 PM

ok
guys, forgot to tell something:

Vcore is as promised: 2.1v
vdimm : 4.0v

some smart tricks there in the bios, I will have some upload later

**MarilynMX** · 01-12-2005, 09:46 PM

Nice board and...the carpet!
Expecting your updates OPB
