I was going to order this and post the hot deal here but then realized that it was a
SLi-DR UT which is different than regular SLi-DR (in packaging)
Can anyone clarify the differences?

 

[larry89]

NO differences at all... weird

 

[tfinch2]

The box also has that sweet AnandTech label on it too

do a comparison, theres raid and audio differences per newegg, and AT review also shows some other differences.

don't get me wrong, i think i might get it myself. i don't think i'll need the other features anyway. but it is not the sli-dr.

Errrr....yeah it is.

Raid and audio are the same. And it does come with the SLI bridge.

 

[JaceAce32]

Hmmm, ok... they are both sli-dr people, it's just the packaging that is different. Now can anyone clarify the differences in packaging?

 

[imported_jtworldwide2]

UT version lacks the front-x, case carrying system, and the lights included with the full out package.

 

[JaceAce32]

which lights in the full package? does the ut version have the extra cable sleeving?

 

[imported_jtworldwide2]

oh apparently their are no lights
No frontx, no sleeving,
I just posted on dfi street about it, its basically a no frills version of the DR.
Its nothing but the board, and rounded cables.

SLI-D

SLI-DR

AT article page 2

i was wrong on the audio, but the raid (doesn't matter to me) is different and of course the packaging. being SLI, obviously it will come with the bridge.

still a good deal.

too bad i got the same board for cheaper at http://www.epowerhousepc.com/ two weeks ago (was on sale for $180)

not a good deal. this is what the board is supposed to be selling at

Are you kidding??? This thing was $230 a month ago. This is most definitely a great deal.

i never bought from them housecat, how are they shipping, service etc?

 

[housecat]

like i said, i got mine two weeks ago.

so it cant be hot.

just cuz you didnt know it was even cheaper elsewhere.. doesnt make this one hot all the sudden.

$180 is just market price, that newegg finally got too.


and this isnt the full SLI-DR btw, its the UT editon so no sheathing or frontx or diagnostic panels.
so its not the same one you saw a month ago for $230.
the full blown SLI-DR (with all that stuff) is still $220 or so.

*takes off gauntlet*
*smack!*

resellerratings gives them no negative feedback.

i checked before i ordered. excellent service for me at least.
they've been around a few years too, and to have all indifferent or positive feedback was a plus.

yes, the title should actually be changed. newegg clearly has both the SLI-D and the SLI-DR

this price is for the SLI-D.

 

[imported_Assassin]

Oh, didn't actually check the link to see what the item was, just figured it was the DR since that's what the title said.

In that case, yeah this really isn't hot.

 

[imported_jtworldwide2]

how can you say its not the dr? in the item listing it says its a dr and look on the board, 8 SATA ports, this board is a dr

 

[imported_jtworldwide2]

FYI, epowerhousepc is not to far from where i live, the place is a VERY small outfit, and i know of a lot of people that have gotten screwed at the place. Be warned

Yeah, thne description on Newegg and the pic of both box and mobo all include 8 SATA ports as opposed to 4 for the -D.

 

[imported_jtworldwide2]

D = only the NV 4-channel SATA

DR = 4 channel NV sata + 4 channel Si3114 SATA

UT vs regular LanParty = UT is basic board + cables, full Lanparty is board, cables, frontX, carry strap, etc

that is straight from a DFI employee, this is a DR folks

 

[kamranziadar]

Umm $180 motherboard damn expensive.

seeing as you guys apparently do better with pics as opposed to the DFI links i gave you, here is neweggs side by side as well.

it's not the DR. if you want to get this SLI-D and call it hot, hell, call it "straight from a dfi employee", fine. but the title is wrong and should be changed.


edit- btw neweggs specs are inconsistent with those taken from the dfi site i linked but still show the different raid controller.
