Darn cant wait to try mine out - should be a week I hope - got the same as you samcim but unsure which part of the serial number you guys are talking about so I can check mine - last 4 digits i presume?

If thats the case mine is a 0127 - should do good then

- hopefully as good as yours as we have a similiar setup...

ps3ud0 :cool:

Matt_Hirst · 14 Mar 2005 at 19:16

Pseudo,

Am like you not sure which part of the serial number they are checking mine is as follows:-

ADA3200DIK4BI
CBBHD0447UPAW
1160227L40027

Is this a reasonable chip?

Concorde Rules,

So you are saying it's taken 1 week and they still aint received your board yet? Presume it was insured, have you a trackng number to see where it is with the courier?

Looks like it may pay for me to buy a new board then!

Regards,

Matt

if your pc boots up ok then that will be fine. It will be a good idea if you run memtest to make sure its stable.

I found that after you know how to do it, Its actually EASIER then overclocking an XP

Really useful posts. Thank you samcim.

matt,got rma no from ocers,posting it tomorrow,at this point dunno what will happen but hopefully a replacement
can someone shed some light on rma

Matt_Hirst · 14 Mar 2005 at 20:17

mercyless,

Well I have nothing from DFI as of yet, but just read perfect chaos reply in other thread and he's been waiting a month!!!

I may as well send an rma request into overclockers and see if I can take the board to the shop and pick up a replacement whilst there.

Regards,

Matt

P.S. Can anyone shed any light on what happens with RMA'S or indeed how long RMA's take with this board if put through DFI?

I had 5.....yes 5 DFI Infinity motherboards.

The RMA process isn't very good at all, and to be honest i think if a new motherboard isnt working it should be replaced at source of purchase - not manufacture.

From what i can recall i had to send the board to Bournmouth, where it was then sent to DFI in Germany.

3-4 weeks later i had a new one, but not always in a retail box, sometimes an OEM white one was used.

After that lot i gave in and went back to my trusty Abit NF7-S

Its stated in the very first post what colour slots to use,

but yes both orange or both yellow, the orange slots do seem to be the better option though

ricco · 14 Mar 2005 at 20:24

Your board should be replaced by point of purchased if its DOA.

And an additional point, you should have exactly the same board sent back out.

I hope eventualy DFI will do what most of the Hardware manufacturers do and at least appoint an agent thats UK based to handle RMA's.

They have, it's in Bournmouth, they just handle the UK RMA's back to Germany.

Incidently, when you agree to purchase the board you agree to the terms and conditions of the returns procedure.

Slot 2 and 4 didn't work for my ram, either did 2 and 3.

When i put the 256mb module in i reset cmos, but it just stayed on 3 lights on the motherboard LED.

I'm using bios 310.

Should i do 1 and 3 ?

Someone must have a clue on how to use a 512mb module and 256mb module, and what slots to use for each module lol.
