BB_One Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 From OPP: As far as the chipset heatsink It may have a problem because I'm useing my cascade on the CPU.When I tighten down the evap it bows the mobo a tad, this may be bending it enough to make the gpu card touch the chipset. Someone on a air setup will have to try it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ironclad Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Thanks for the reply BB_One, it is appreciated, but I was wondering if there is an official DFI Resellers List because the "where to buy" link on the DFI website is not working. So far the link you provided in your reply is the only reseller, online or otherwise that I have seen where any of the DFI NF4 boards can be pre-ordered, but I would think that there must be more than only one. AG or Rgone would you know of or have a link to a working authorized resellers list of online resellers for DFI in the US? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrlobber Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Oppainter posted, he used Vdimm derived from the 5v line, and run his VX on 3.65 Vdimm without much problems, even without specially cooling the upper right corner of the mobo, w00t Although, if he's using a cascade, that might "chill" the pcb of his motherboard a bit as well.

Impressive yes, but, I would worry about running my RAM at 3.65v. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperJohn Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Originally posted by BB_One The Chipset fan is to High for ATI cards Yes, If you plan on getting the DFI 939 board and you have an ATI card be prepared to Change the Chipset heatsink. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showpo...1&postcount=189 Arrrgghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.................... Awh you must be talking the post from OPPAINTER. It sounds like the MB he got may have been slightly pre-production with a different chipset cooler or maybe the cooler was not installed properly. If an ATI card would hit so would an NV card as they are even longer lol. Viper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperJohn Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Originally posted by Frallan Ok Im now officially in contact with my store to get one of these babies. But I still have to decide on what RAM to get... Will you be testing compatibility with diffrent RAM sticks? Bigtoe had been doing a lot of stick testing and so far TCCD has been the ram of choice. VX was second (and with A LOT higher Vdimm) and BH5 was third. That could change with future bios updates www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=50421 Viper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wodan Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 A_G & Rgone :now that you have one of the NF4 boards in your possession, which way does the active chipset fan spin? does it suck from the bottom and blow up and out ... or .... does it suck from teh top and blow down and out?
