brakezone Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 So basically the only thing you solve by RMA is the vcore discrepancy? Personally, this is not my only system, but I don't feel like moving everything around for something like that. Right now my vcore is 1.52 in cpu-z; however, based upon what i've read here I understand it is probably really slightly lower. I haven't had the cold boot problem at all so I am assuming that theres no reason for me to RMA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuy Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 The latest reply from Taiwan: Dear Customer Firstly, I apologize for the inadequate response in the previous mail. Please contact with your retailer and apply for RMA service. Probably hare ware modification is required. DFI engineer will take care of your board. Again, please accept my apologies.

pantonious Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 its weird...my CPU seems to run fine at stock VCore CPU-Z shows my VCore at 1.37v-1.39v...i have a newcastle...think the newcastle's are 1.5v... i have e-mailed the retailer i bought my board off, to see how long he thinks the turn-around would be if i did RMA my board...if it won't be long, then i would prolly do it, once the new revision was out... while, my computer is running really good, i would still prefer to have a bug-free board...ie, Vcore reading and Restarting from windows problems...

samduhman Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 So are all of these boards defective and need to be RMA'd? I tried following this thread but its too huge and you guys are more technically savy than I so I have a hard time following whats being said. I bought mine from Mwave the day it was released. So far its ran pretty well. I took it to a Lan Party last Saturday and it ran like a champ for over 12 hours. I didn't buy it for overclocking features but for the cool UV glow of the sockets and so I could use my agp card. So Im running everything at default. I've encountered 2 issues so far. 1. My Razor Diamondback usb mouse doesn't always power up with WinXP. When this happens I have to replug it so it will power on. 2. On occasion even though I shut it down properly WinXP will do the scandisk thing when booting up . Don't understand why its doing this. I did a fresh install on a new drive with this upgrade. So do I need to return it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesteronyer6 Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 BEWARE Yesterday I was turning voltages back to stock when I found that the board reads vcore incorrectly. I had selected what I thought was default and actually I selected +.07 when I booted up I noticed temps were at 57C so I checked voltages and they were at 1.55. This was my fault because I went throught the BIOS screen too fast and shopuld have taken my time but the voltage settings on this board are way screwed up. ALso I ran PCMARK 04 and 05 yesterday and neither of them could I publish my scores because I had unknown CPU and Motherboard I guess this board is not recognized by the software. ANd I also noticed on PCMark05 my harddrive scores were 0 which is weird as my system flys with the Raptor is anyone else experiencing this in PCMark.

So do I need to return it? I don't think "defective"...you are running stable with four sticks of ram and enjoying the board. I wouldn't rma it. The two things you noted could possibly be taken care of with a little extra voltage since they seem to be random... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbjgh Posted July 13, 2005 Posted July 13, 2005 I'm am considering this motherboard. Is there only one revision of the board? Also, it sounds like some hardware fixes are required... when will the new revision be available in retail? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
