Sorry to hear that from you thou...but nevermind...i'll try my best to guide you...

firstly i did quote that the vantec iceberq 4 wont fit directly and about the customised spring clips would be nice...but it is out of the question now since the clips is quite hard to find in hardwares....trust me i did search for it....

ok actually it fits....but it needs a bit of brain IQ to work...for my vantec i did lap it a lil bit just to make sure...then i did not use the clips that comes with package...i'd manage to get an Asus 9200 heatsink clips which is holding lower compared to the vantec wan....

Ok when installation is done make sure u dun move around the heatsink when u r trying to clip it into place...(in know is hard but to make sure ur thermal paste are not splattered around the chipset....one thing is when u r installing the heatsink alwiz make sure that non of any residue are at the contact surface between the heatsink and the chipset die...coz it will kill ur chipset oso....

Sure it wont fit...but applying more pressure should settle the problem of fitting it insto place...but dont apply to hard since the only contact between the heatsink and the chipset is the die...be sure to apply pressure slightly and not to vigorous...

look at the both pictures of right and wrong...notice that in the right picture the 'B' on the right is fitted completely downwards and unlike the wrong picture the 'B' on the right is floating...

damm look nice i using the iceberq only..but from the look, icerberq 4 mush2 pretty my installment for my icerberq going well..but weird bout u..sappose it wll be alright

hahaha...that iceberg4 damn hard to plug into the mobo la...my thumb still feel the pain wrestling the clip into the hole...and the hsf is bigger than the stock hsf...if not properly installed...the hsf might sitting slightly on the clock generator next to it...im using ultra-d...dunno about sli-d or dr...but having the clock gen and also the cap on the other side made the installation of such an 'adventurous'

I'm not getting it.. sorry

Btw, I'm only using this 20 pins connector PSU, can I still use the DFI boards?

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/se...o=1028626&Tab=5

i read somewhere b4..if using 20 pin can spoil ur DFI mobo..
batter change the psu la..AMD 2x play wit DFI

took you guys long enough, i already ordered a mobo...

u can send to grind a lil bit for easy installation....

amd 2x ka X2 ?? hurm...like dat kah?? seem dat dfi mobo got pro n con also lah..cos last time when i google about msi neo-4 n abit an8 ..seem this two can goes well with 20pins psu..didn't read the dfi yet dat time..but i think it worth the price since the power u get from dfi mobo give u the value of money

one more thing~ if i not mistaken the diskussion regarding on the suitable psu already mention rite?? try to check the privios post or look at venice thread(babyelf propose some good psu dat really work well with dfi mobo, ocz mainstream if i not mistaken)

The latest LP Ultra-D can be modded to SLI? I'm planning to buy one.. and i'll upgrade to dual display card in SLI configuration. For now, I really donno to buy LP SLI-D or Ultra-D. I know the latest chipset covered with epoxy and need some effort to scrape off the epoxy, but how about the successful rate? is it 100% to SLI if we succesfully bridge the soldering points?

they hv covered up the connect point with epoxy...
and i heard that some new resvision chip is totally dun hv tat connect point...

so chance is minor...
and the chip is not quite ocable?

the epoxy one still got some way to dealt with but the other one is mod-proof la since no contact point at all...
btw West...how did u mod urs?conductive paint???or pencel trick???

ya, epoxy still can manage to solve...
but rumor said tat the latest is totally without connection point???

my board, thanks for mr ray99mond.
if u come cyberjaya, then u'll know how.

DFi Ultra-D/SLi-D and DR need 24pin PSu and a minimum of 480watt for the mobo( 12v need at least 24amp if i'm not mistaken) read at dfi-street regarding the PSU it's a VERY important topic..

nice board, but still dun see it listed on the product on sales...

launch and on sale is different unless they choose to implement launch + ship on the same date e.g. 7800gtx

for people with interest for this board look @ the new connectors lol.. more will need new psu now.. no shortcuts
