dfi .street forums closes

[noneed4me2]

I got a measily DFI rs482 Infinity board, ATI chipset mATX, and it overclocks like crazy but without the street and the database I would have never been able to get it working. Random restarts, lockups even at stock, but I am patient and have been doing this for awhile a new where to look for answers. Now I got it up to 310 FSB 2791mhz with my 165 Opty. I was going to get a Lanparty CFX3200-DR but seeing all the issues and lack of fixes I am now looking at the Abit AT8 board. My point is so many of us rely on honest tech support and when something doesn't work we shouldn't be brushed off and told that its something we did wrong (which sometimes it is) and at the street I always appreciated the "tell it like it is" attitude. I would still buy and recommend DFI products to others but not everything they make is gold.

Mines HITTING 60C if I account for the temp inacuracy's

will get friday
will let you know,can't hurt and good psu

 

[Brother Esau]

Figured out why I cant get 3ghz, temps are too much! But I suppose with 2980mhz on air you really can't complain, and I am quite sure with water this chip will exceed 3000mhz most deffinately! But I have told through email where the potential of our mutual interest has surpassed the all mighty ones.

I was looking qt the Asus too but one thing that bothered me was that it looked like some of the SATA ports would be blocked with a full length x1900 series card and that would suck. The asus has an extra pci slot and that would give me more upgrade options but the other thing with the Abit AT8 was that it had an extra molex power plug which I assume provides more juice to the PCI/e slots. Your opinion on this would really help in my descicion.

he only thing that put me off the abot at8 was it had only on pci slot and i need 2 pci at lease

i just read the 2 new reviews of rdfi infinity 975 and 590 sli and the both basically said the same thing that is repeated in this thread that Dfi has really good pcb design and layout but the bios is too problematic usually with new cheaper X2 3800 and E4300 cpus.

dfi did a great thing with the lanparty nf2 but they haven't "simplied" their bios, made it more compatabile and basiclly functional for the mass market.

i read a news story that dfi is considering abadoning their value line, does any body know of their going to simplify their high end bios as well?

hope they do better

Sorry I didn't read through all posts but for a good recommendation on a Xfire board is the ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe mobo. I have it and I love it. Everything works perfect never been a hassle to get anything in the bios and has A LOT of clocking ability to tweak. Plus the thing looks sweet as well. Has a nice semi-glossy look and loos really nice in a all black case...

Sorry for the big pic...

 

[kelticknight]

any probs with memory or psu in it not liking it

If you're talking about mine, NOPE! I have the Hiper 580W PSU, and Corsair Platnium XMS ram. I have seen other setups with this mobo and never hear a specific brand not working...

 

[kelticknight]

Will be looking at getting it to run my crossfire setup if i cant sort out this mobo
hard to get on this side of the pond

Love it... So far got it Oc'd at 702/1200 thing is rock solid so far, and the fan on the thing keep is suprisingly cool. So far while using ATi tool .26 checking artifacts @ 1 hour it hit 63C Not bad if you may say so for a stock cooler. Thing sounds like a vacuum tho

 

[Brother Esau]

Yes I am quite impressed with my xt1950 xtx as well, full maxed out settings on card and in Darl Messiah and its never gottem beyond 61c and thats after 4-5hrs non stop play

Have you raised your volts at all? I have mine @ 1.5v, so I could get to 700/1125

 

[Brother Esau]

No volt increase
