Everything is working good and installed fine. Only thing I haven't tried is SATA but I have no drive for that ATM. Also haven't o/ced any yet. Gonna breaker in first . Using stock BIOS aswell right now.

Oh yeah had one problem. The clip that holds the audio device to the mobo I had to use my dremel on it because a capacitor was in the way and if I force it down it would have bent it. Just something to watch for to anyone who buys it.

hmmm, i didnt have any caps in the way on mine. was it bent in the way, or did it look like it was supposed to be there?

naw it was straight up and down. It's soldered to the board so I don't know. I looked over it good before I took a dremel and shaved the top of it off some(the clip). I kept thinking why in the heck did DFI put a cap in the way. If I hadn't shaved some off it would have bent the cap quite a bit. Don't know whats going on.

I also didn't have that problem with the plastic clip. This is the first time I hear anyone with this problem. Did DFI released a new version or something? Sniper, can you post some pictures?

 

[thanatos355]

yeah, some pics would be helpfull.

I can post some pics in a few. I got the A.02 I think revision. There is 2 revs maybe I got a fluke? Even with the sound clip cut some it is still close to touching. Pics coming soon.

cap in the red is the one that was in the way. I could have forced the clip but it would have bent the cap some. The cap around the green is very close to touching and might even be touching some but not enough to worry about. I don't know whats going on with that one cap though.
