DFI NF4 Expert Boards At Monarch

[Bozo Galora]

These are being shipped out now with tracking numbers.
Just a heads up to those few who are interested, since the board wasnt supposed to be shipped until the 15th

looks like some peeps having major probs with certain batch - fried CPU's - ouch.
I was sssoooo close to ordering one, time to wait a little for things to settle.

However, VR_Zone allegedly got a FX-67 cpu up to 3.9 GHZ with their expert on Cascade cool.

ncix also has them

as far as differences go, doesnt have any of the known drawbacks of ultra
like sli vidcards slots are farther apart for cooling

4 dimms work and also at tight timings

not flakey as to which psu is used - power regulation changed

stable at 600+ fsb

or, you know, you could just read the 4 threads on the board in forum link above.

I know it means nothing, but my god are DFI boards the ugliest-looking devices in the history of mankind. Orange, yellow, and grey? What were they thinking? It's like Halloween vomit.

If It can take two pairs of these and run them at SPD 1T, it would be very awesome.

I thought the problem preventing 4 DIMMS at 1T was on the AMD processor, due to the integrated memory controller... am I missing something?
