We'll we will see if it fits or not. If not Mr Hacksaw goes in, unless they can send me a replacement fitting kit.

My board arrived at 8 o'clock.

Mines here too. @10am, but my case and power supply and the all important cpu arent. Could strangle citylink.

Did you order from multiple places or something?

Still waiting...

I'm absolutely shattered after staying up to watch Wrestlemania...

This is what your missing out on Tute.

:cool:

Yes I did, only one place had the DFI on sale, and the CPU and PSU was on order before hand. Now the mobo has got here first and citylink claim to never have seen the CPU/PSU package.

Are you looking for a slap?

Eh? Eh?

Gonna be tomorrow for mine. Seems the retailer didn't dispatch it on Friday after all.

We're all this same problem of dispatch issues, so much so I cancelled my order elsewhere and did it on OcUK. Least that way if it goes wrong I can have a shoulder to cry on here.

But OcUK doesn't do DFI.

lucky for me the place i got my board from is only a 20 mins drive away

First things first... Vista is the biggest load of **** ever in the history of the universe.

Second, for some reason the board cannot power my PCI-E wireless card, ill check that out again tomorrow though.

Third, canny run my OCZ and Ballistix RAM together, guessing ill have to change Ballistix settings first then put in OCZ but it doesnt really matter at the moment seen as I canny get the internet to work in Vista 64.

Any way some pics...

Other than the above the board aint half bad so far. :cool:

Azza · 1 Apr 2008 at 16:13

Tell you what the power and reset buttons arnt easy on the fingers.

Nice motherboard. NB heatsink is to close to the graphics card, does this generate a lot of heat above the graphic card?
