on September 27, 2003 - 4:10 pm Oooooooooo! The colors! The colors! Ermm... look awesome, though I would have liked to see mounting holes on such a high performance motherboard, especially when it is targeted at the enthusiast crowd... but as you said, a later revision may fix that minor problem. The 3D interactive movie was flawless if I might say so myself, I especially liked watching the stands numbers change. :D

on September 27, 2003 - 4:15 pm Glad you liked it. Talking with DFI revealed a possible Revision B that will fix the mounting hole problems along with a few other things. Nothing for sure, though. We are working to improve the quality of the 3D animations right now, hopefully we will have an easy solution that isn't too bandwidth intensive soon. 3 - Posted by

on October 10, 2003 - 12:04 pm I just got this board and I still havn't bought a heatsink for it. What heatsink would you suggest I use with this, The processor is an AMD Anthlon XP 2400+ 2.0GHz 266MHz.

on October 10, 2003 - 12:38 pm I believe ThermalRight has released a socket mounting heatsink. You may want to look at that.

on October 10, 2003 - 1:31 pm Aero 7+ would be a good choice as well. That's what I use and I haven't had any problems with it. If you haven't already, check out the review I did of it here to see what sort of cooling performance it has

on July 24, 2004 - 8:09 am Interesting to read your comments about the SiL RAID controller as most users reckon the 3114 is noticeably slower than the 3112 & certainly not upto the Intel ICH5 (particularly as it passes data via the PCI Bus so it is possible to get bus saturation). The DFI nForec2 boards have a lot of potential but they also have a no. of "issues" 15 - Posted by

on July 31, 2004 - 4:59 pm I dont like the choice of Silicon Image for the SATA RAID in the B version of this board. There have been a lot of reports of hard disk corruption corruption with Silicon Image. The A version of this board uses a Highpoint RAID controller and Highpoint (in my opinion) is a far better RAID company then Silicon Image. 17 - Posted by
