Nubius Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 @ RGone, 12 guage shells would work wonders just kidding dude, the more I read up on your guys daily rituals with this thing, the more I am not so envious of you folks with these boards anymore Nah it's a good board, but RGone and Angry_games are putting it through a far greater hell than we are, plus trying out god knows how many BIOSes we don't even see coming out of Taiwan. also cpu `s runnin about 3 or 5 degrees warmer than on my asus av8 Temp probe is screwed on this...oddly enough basically everyons is reading in the mid to high 30's no matter what CPU, speed, voltage or cooling, everyones almost reports the exact same Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 Omg RGone, you read my mind. I HATE how holding insert does absolutely jack on this mobo. It worked on pretty much all the good boards, but it refuses to do it on this board. Can you tell the BIOS guys to for the love of god implement this? The NF4 Ultra-D works, why doesn't it work here?

Judaeus Apella Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 Anyone know where I can see a pic of the XP-120 mounted on the DFI Lanparty S939 NF3 Ultra-D?? I have both in my cart at NewEgg.com, but I'm not buying until I see for my self that it fits. I saw a very low res picture of this from a strange angle, but I couldn't tell. Can someone please help me out? By the way, if someone can show me a review of something else beating the XP-120, in the same system, with the same hand picked parts, and the same hand picked processor, and both tested in the same temperature room, then I'd really like to go with something else.... Lets face it, the XP-120 may be great for performance, especially if you lap off the nickel plating and stack dual fans on it so they suck intead of blow... but that heatsink is one fat a@@ mofo. It causes a lot of problems by blocking vcard slots or ram, or running into those caps near the processor. If there is something that has been proven in a 100% fair comparison, I'd love to get it, but only if it gives me some more space.

Silver Fox Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 It does fit, but it'll be a tight fit, and you should for sure plug the sata cables in first if you want to o/c (the ports near the cpu socket). Otherwise, it should be no big problem. I use a XP-90, and there is plenty of space left around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judaeus Apella Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 Thanks. Everyone thinks there really is no difference between these two, the 120 and the 90, but you have to lap off the nickle and suck the air. You can get about 6 more degrees cooler that way. You can add another -4 or so by stacking 2 fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears to work for me though. But I have to recycle the power. Hold on to insert key, then power up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RGone Posted July 2, 2005 Posted July 2, 2005 Yep, I know the power 'off' and back on with insert key down that works for most but not this board ever for me at all. RGone...

That's cool, like I've said I've NEVER come across a board where the insert actually works for me =/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
