Am I the only one who's seen this? Monarch has Gigabyte NForce4 boards in stock!

Here you go.

this the real deal?

Looks like it's out of stock now.

looks like pretty cheap for a NF4 Ultra. The code for the Gigabyte NF4 Ultra is K8NXP-9.

Yeah, looks like its plain nforce 4, not nforce 4 ultra.

It is not the Ultra, just plain NF4. So only HTT 800MHz and no SATA2.0 or hardware firewall.

not so hot. the feature lists are not as nice as nforce4 ultra.

By the way, from the picture of the motherboard, do you guys think Zalman CNPS7700 cpu cooler (120mm) will be able to clear the capacitors on top of the cpu?

I seem to be hearing that the regular NForce4's will have no overclocking options, is this true?

I have serious issues with Monarch, it seems everytime a new product is around the corner and they always seem to be the first to have anything but be sold out by the time most place their orders. Well that and their old practice of having a product but price gouging by over $100 on a mobo usually. I'll believe they are out when more reputable resellers have them.

i am still encouraged that the nforce 4 is trickling in.

I've read that as well. How would they do that anyway - just lock the multipliers in the BIOS? If so, a flash with an Ultra BIOS might take care of that problem.

Otherwise, I would never touch a board that lacked overclocking options.

"CPU/AGP/DIMM setting


1. CPU HT / Multiplier / Vcore Voltage adjustable via BIOS
2. PCI-ExpessX16 Voltage / Clock adjustable via BIOS
3. DIMM Voltage / Clock adjustable via BIOS "

This board should cost less than $100, which makes it very hot in my opinion.
