RGone Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 It will handle TCCD like the straight up NF4's did and better than an expert since experts were tuned more toward 2 gigs and this one is made to fly again on TCCD and also handle the other good stuff as well.

Burleyboy Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 Nonsense, you get a lot more than just a cool box. You also get a couple of cool case badges. I followed your link, and just ordered one from Newegg myself. I'm such a sick .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

newguy Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 If people willing to spend this much for the mobo, they won't consider to sell the box just to cover peanut cost back I would say :nod: Nobody knows what this board can do at this moment, may be same as expert or may be much better?! This thing cost so much, won't be no reason... Beside the fancy box, there must be some performance difference. DFI won't just replaced some REAL Japanese capasitors & pump up the price for quick money. If they perform the same as others, how many people will buy? :confused: May be only the first 300 people on earth will buy it. After that no one else cause word of month. Thats why I think DFI won't throw the rock on its toe. Let's wait for results from those who bought this, I think it won't be too long to see...

Burleyboy Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 I didn't buy it for the box, case badge or status. I bought the Expert 3 weeks ago and had til March 10th to get my money back from Newegg. I was going to just order another and then I saw the Venus was available, so I figured it was worth another hundred. I love the Expert, compared to the SLI-DR for the board layout, but the one I got just had all the issues. The cpu temp reads 18 degree's, dram voltages read alot less than where I set them, cold boot every time, and I had a Sil3114 port that was flaky. I haven't heard anything about any changes with the Venus, that addresses any of these issues, but it's worth a shot. I'd be anxious to hear how it might work with my OCZ as well.

Kandoo Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 The Venus It should be at my door Monday. Lets see what she will do http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813136008 Don't know what she'll do for clock speeds, but she will lighten the load on your wallet. :nod: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FZ1 Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 As much as I like to spend money on computer stuff (I think I have spent 2g's on CPU's alone in the past 6 months :eek: )...not going to happen :shake: Now, if someone was to sell a used one for a reasonable price....

red930 Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 That's a big chunk of change to be an early adopter. It's really got to raise the performance bar to be worth an almost 50% premium on the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burleyboy Posted March 3, 2006 Posted March 3, 2006 I've already dropped 3 grand since I contracted this disease last June. New cpu, new memory, new mb. I'm not going anywhere near M2 for a good long time to come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
