    Post your luck with DFI Experts and/or RDX200 boards

    Seems a lot of people have been having serious problems with these new Lanparty boards. What've your experiences been like?

    NOTE: the poll offers multiple votes. Please vote all that apply to you.
    NOTE2: this poll only applys to the DFI Lanparty SLI-DR Expert and DFI Lanparty CF-DR RDX200 boards. Not the older Ultra-D, SLI-D, and regular SLI-DR NF4 boards. Thanks.

    Status: ~77% of all RDX200/Expert boards are good boards as of 12/10/05

    Expert running flawless since the day I got it. Ran alot of volts through it, froze it with dice, soaked it with water (by mistake!), 24/7 phase, no issues. The tighter RAM timings and no RAM deaths is quite of an advantage over Ultra IMO.

    One board give up that appeared to be a good one ran 4800 x2 @ 268*12 and 290*11 (suicide).

    Might be issues with monitoring software and board?

    Also - 2nd board not as overclockable and wont run 2 sticks of TCCD/TCC5 with release BIOS and wont run at all with any BETA BIOS.

    Thus far all other components have survived the massacre.

    Not confident with this MOFO right now.

    My DFI RDX 200 died last week. It did work ok for 2 or 3 weeks.
    Turned my system off , never got it running again (no post)

    Went to DFi-street for help , but the support /advise you get there is just ridiculous.
    They (Rgone /Angry games) don't even bother to test the new beta bios files.
    DFI must be thinking : just leave it to the end user , if the bios works better -> let's make it official

    But when things go wrong, you're screwed , because you flashed a beta bios?

    Nice cover-yer-azz- policy...

    I think we need to collect links to the threads where they announced their chip deaths.

    For starters, this is mixing together the NF4 and the ATI boards.
