DFI NF4 Boards..

I think Ill definatly be getting one of these.. seems to be the best of the nf4 boards..

Ill also be running a 3000+ winnie and a X850XTPE, with CPU, GPU and NB watercooled, hoping for a nice overclock :)

Cant really find out much baout these nf4 boards.. as noone has them yet.. but... anyway, heres a pic:

now, oneof the things I notice, standard molex INPUT next to the NB. Now whats that for? I suppose maybe for psu's without the 24pin connector.. but no.. has to be something else...?

Anyway, has hexus got plans for a review of this? :D please :D

Also on the DFI site, it mentions there dual gfx thingy (SLI on non sli boards using 16x and 2x) but it states it works with ALL pci-e cards, and not just nvidias. Quite sure its a typeo.. hoping its not :)

The molex will be for extra power to the graphics card in SLI mode, probably. That's what it's for on the ASUS A8N anyway. :)

edit: It looks like they were gonna put the Silicon Image SATA RAID chip on there too. I wonder what happened to it.

The SI3114 is only included on the SLI-DR board. DFI use the same pcb for all there nf4 boards iirc.
The only other differnce between the SLI-D and SLI-DR is the DR has a bundle of cables with it... or something.. I *think*...

I think its good that its not on the other boards. Ive heard that the SI3114, alteast on other mobos, doesnt get pci-locked.. so it should just make the board more stable without it...
