OPB's DFI LP NF4-DR is Here

**windwithme** · 01-12-2005, 10:06 PM

guys, please keep silent.
Here (US) still under NDA

1.488v 3196mhz with Chilly 1 mod Mach II

1gb(2x512mb) 1t DDR620 /2.5-3-3-7

**TinTin** · 01-12-2005, 10:18 PM

Onepagebook, hi, there is a 12V molex plug besides the chipsets, and a floppy power plug just besides the 4X PCI-E slot, I don't know what they are for, I plugged everything when testing.

I think one is for SLI power, just like Asus, but what is the other...?

I never plug them in...

Oskar told me that just for enhance the power juice mombo "might" need.
It really doesn't matter. I don't BS.

They are sets of jumper to set SLI mode for SLI version,

1-2 PCI SLOTs PCI-E 4=X2 PCI-E 3=X1, PCI-E 1=X16, PCI-E 2= X1 CPU side
2-3 PCI SLOTs PCI-E 4=X8 PCI-E 3=NC, PCI-E 1=X8, PCI-E 2= X4 CPU side

I appreciate your kindness.

OPB

toss in a set of the illusive PC4800 sticks and a FX55?

huh? huh? huh?...very nice example of things to come, any release date mentioned?

**HARDCORECLOCKER** · 01-13-2005, 03:20 AM

Give us some results, better than NEO4 ???

**MarilynMX** · 01-13-2005, 03:24 AM

With this board I wont be needing booster right? I'm tired of resetting cmos and tunning booster all the time

**Umek** · 01-13-2005, 03:31 AM

benchs now!!!

**$0m#0n#** · 01-13-2005, 03:57 AM

I think the additional 4pin connector is when ya go over 4Ghz@2.1V

**naelq** · 01-13-2005, 05:04 AM

when will NDA ends?!

2.6?

The first post on this page!

I am still doing test.

**HARDCORECLOCKER** · 01-13-2005, 06:13 AM

Hey OPB - found it - looking good and I know You're buisy but please,
please do a test on single phase.

Will be an importand decision for many people if to buy NEO4 or DFI NF4 and unfortunately there are not so many on cascades (including myself).

But I'm counting on You and as far as I can see You have nothing else to do but testing the whole day long

- so I'm optimistic You'll do it also on single phase.

**xgman** · 01-13-2005, 06:34 AM

I thought review boards were released on the 10th. Shouldn't NDA be up by now?

that's single phase..
my cascade is at Chilly's lab for fix..

Chilly 1 mod's Mach II here
Cascade is not back yet..

Just looking at DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D it also has 2x16 PCI slots, so can you use SLI mode?

I think the only difference is the SLI Bridge is not included.

**HARDCORECLOCKER** · 01-13-2005, 08:03 AM

Very nice picture OPB - am I wrong or are You using only neopren for insulation? Or sealstring and neopren?

afaik the difference is that the sli has 2 8x peg
and the ultra has 1 2x and one 16x peg

Nope nVidia i putting astop to that with the next driver release =/

Från anandtech:

"MSI confirmed with us that they are canceling their plans for an "SLI"-like motherboard based on the nForce4 Ultra chipset after pressure from nVidia to drop the project. But apparently, the newest NVIDIA drivers prevent this SLI hack from working. EPoX and DFI are both introducing boards using a very similar principle to MSI's DBS solution, but they both also face the threat of NVIDIA pulling the plug with next generation drivers."

I think you neeed to plug the 4 pin Molex for going over 3.3v mem

There is a set of jumper if you want to use 5V rail for Vdimm, switching from 3.3V rail, then you can set as high as 4.0V Vdimm.

Beware of excessive heat of MOSFET when using 5V Rail for Vdimm.
