Lucky i found this thread, then i m just know they use the J&W mobo imitation as DFI mobo??? They just change the brand name at the heatsink.
I have bought 1 JW-IN7100-HDMI from lowyat forum, u will feel that u have been fool by seller after u saw ur mobo is not all is using solid caps compare with the J&W OFFICIAL WEBSITE, only 8 is solid caps near the socket of processor, thats why so cheap that around rm200, but this mobo is suck at OC, but this is quite stable without oc it. Just me also suspect the solid caps maybe is also fake one after i saw this thread.
My mobo is 100% same mobo as below picture, is not all solid caps. mad.gif mad.gif Maybe this mobo also not original from J&W.

wonder how the bios function on those fake dfi mobo.
are they look like and functioning like the original DFI mobo?
maybe the engineer from dfi was making this out in indonesia.
lucky it's not in m'sia.

No, the article dint said this mobo is manufacture from where, only said that this mobo found at Indonesia, but i think this mostly is made in China.
Here is the real picture i get from mine again.

Thats is 3 different thing is different from the Fake DFI mobo and my J&W .
1. Red mark= They chop the brand name at the heatsink of North Bridge.
2. Yellow mark= My mobo got extra 1 solid caps.
3. Orange mark= My mobo only simply put a sticker name "JW IN7100-HD".

Added: Is 5 different thing, another 2 is mine mobo got HDMI port and DVI port. smile.gif

Read properly, the article only said that it was sales at Indonesia but not manufactured from Indonesia, just now i got a similar mobo at Malaysia, so i will take out the mobo n check it again. Maybe it got show this kind of mobo is made by which country.

fake motherboard!?!?!?

This Fake mobo is not that kind of dummy product, it got all the spec and the function, all can be use, but this product suppose is not product of DFI or manufactured by DFI, but someone/company remark it as DFI product, so they can earn more profit by using other big brand name.
