P.S: Das ist mein erster Sammelthread überhaupt, ich hoffe er ist gut geworden! Wenn was Falsch sein sollte oder irgendwas zu bemängeln gibt bitte lasst es mich wissen! LOB & Kritik sind also erwünscht!
Frohe schlacht!

 

[Bullshooter]

Auf dem EVGA CF laufen auch nicht alle Gulfis.

 

[Labrador]

Dann könnte das DFI aber einem sagen. Außerdem ist es bis dato so, dass alle Xeons auf X58 Brettern laufen. Man muss sich nur bei anderen Herstellern umsehen.

Joh, wie wärs mit Asrock
Nee jetzt mal ehrlich! Erwartest du wenn du eine CPU nutzt die du nicht nutzen sollst (lt. Intel) das der Mobo Hersteller dir dann die Info's gibt was läuft bzw. nicht läuft auf dem Board?
Xeon sind und bleiben CPU für Server und Workstations und wenn die auf nem Desktop Board laufen ist das ein Bonbon! Auf Intel Desktop Boards werden Xeon nie erkannt bzw. laufen!
Bestimmt bekommst du noch dein Bios, nur Geduld!

+1 respekt für den post
stimmt alles

Auch wenn es ein gutes Board ist, würde ich momentan keins mehr kaufen.
So gute Biose wie früher wirds wohl nicht mehr geben was ja schade ist.
R.I.P

wie meinst das?hab bis jetzt kein problem mit t3eh8 gehabt was bios angeht

 

[The Master of Desaster]

Was ist denn los verstehe das hier igendwie nicht aollen Xeons auf dem DFI nicht laufen oder wie ? oder um was geht es dann genau.

Nein keine Panik nur der X5660 ES von Krautmaster läuft nicht. Die CPU gibt es aber auch erst ab 16.03. im Handel

 

[Bullshooter]

Aber nicht diese.
Es gibt ab dem 16.03 den 980X.

@ westsider
Der Ober Guru was Bios Programmierung betrifft ( Oskar Wu ) ist nicht mehr bei DFI.

Oskar is still in the employ of DFI. Please get your facts straight before posting such nonsense.

[Labrador]

Hi,
somebody from Diamond Flowers NL (DFI Europe)???

 

[Bulldog72]

Yes, I am DFI's support tech here in Europe. I have posted here a few times. I can read German to some extent, but I can't write it I'm afraid. Hence the English posts.

 

[REJ]

hi Bulldog72
it is the truth that there will be no other x58/68 DFI UT board in the future/or ever???
Some guys postet such things like that in the past?

 

[Bulldog72]

To my knowledge there will be no more X58 boards designed. The UT, DK and JR versions being all we need really. BIOS development will still continue thou for some time. As far as I know Oskar and the RD team has a few Atom CPU based boards in the alpha stage at the moment. It will be a while yet before they see the light of day thou.

 

[BulliT]

@Bulldog72,

That sounds Great( Oskar Wu )

So i can put back my UT X58 in my case....

What about the support of gulftown based Xeon Cpu`s ?????

....heißt überings nicht das es demnächst keine x68 boards geben wird

[Bulldog72]

Since you have asked in a civil fashion I will double check and see if I can get some specifics about Gulftown Xeon and B stepping CPU support. In the meantime keep the following in mind:

An old Vulcan saying goes something along the lines of: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." BIOS development at DFI is no different. DFI brings out BIOS versions that reflect the current needs in the retail market. In other words when a CPU is out on the market a BIOS version is usually quick to follow. An important thing to note is that DFI does not observe any sort of strict schedule in the sense that as soon as CPU is out that a BIOS follows within 24 hours. It is all kept in a general sense. Basically DFI does not cater to the early adopter crowd.

Another important thing to note is that BIOS's are made for all and most certainly not for individuals.

it would be very nice if you open support section in this forum
i am old customer of dfi and am going to stay with this brand
it would be very nice to have such customer care service here in this forum
Mr.Smith is that you?

as far as i know,dfi has never missed some intel chipset
and i think as soon as X68 is on the market DFI would introduce a new board with that chipset
could you tell us something about it?
i ask because my next board would be X68 UT
i hope for that
i mean
the same genius bios
digital PWM 10Phase+
better PWM Cooling
and old school NB cooler removing withoun loosing warranty

this special abilities would be very nice to see with X68

i dont think DFI has to iprove something with X58 segment
there is high end UT
and its really high end

ther is very strong middle end DK
it performs nearly asgood as many high ends


and Junior which is a lot cheaper then all of the concurents
and performs very well to

With performing i mean Overclock
imean nobody buys DFI to have it just without OC
my first decision with DFI was because of its clocking abilities
and Bios is realy very strong build
it has some special functions which i dont have with other manufacturers
or others have them too but they are somehow sorted like a amateur stile
and i dont like that

i would ask it all as a customer
and you can see there are many old customers here
please support us and you will have your money for that

 

[REJ]

@ westsider
dem stimme ich 100% zu!!!GUTE REDE

 

[Bulldog72]

Indeed I am "Mr Smith". I have dealt with many of you throughout the years via email. I have to be honest and say I'm no huge fan of support via Forums. The reason is that "manufacturer supported" threads often start out well, but sooner or later it turns into a flame war as there are always people who disagree. The mods don't need a mess like that on their hands and I personally don't have the time or energy to invest in such actions. That said I do read these threads from time to time and for better or worse I try and take what is discussed into consideration.

Regarding an X68 board I haven't heard of any plans for one. I'll ask around thou and see what there is to find out.

 

[westsider]

forum supports are turning sometimesto disaster for manufacturer
i understand
if you leave somebody not happy he posts everything there
maybe he lies but you cannot protect your right because he is a customer
i understand if
thats why you schould take more time and support us in forum
give more service and you will get more customers

supporting in forum would open the cards from your side
to be honestly some manufacturers are so sure in their service that they are ready to offer something like that
and i am one of the few customers fro mdfi who hits world results
why schouldnt i or somebody like us dont get more support from manufacturer we trust ?

if you continue this way,you will never go upto production as asus and gigabyte do
and it your marketing strategy is to have few xtreme customers
then i understand you
but if DFI wants to grow as a manufacturer then you have to support us
iam happy with OC capabilities of DFI
and ican handle it.its not so easy as other manufacturers

DFI is for me like a....hm...muscle car
you take it
modificate yourselves
give some NAS,bi kompressor
tuning and it tursn to some monster which can blow everything away
and asus ,giga,msi are like ferrari
you buy it
its beautifull
very nice and good but there is not so much headroom left

and i am a customer like ....i take better something thaths more potential
and boost it over the redline

and with this results i am doing your advertisment
do you know how many buyers did you get in georgia only because of me?
i mean every noobie has already DFI there
and it was only asus,abit,gigabyte on the market

we have already had contact about it
you are repairing right now a board of one of the customers
i mean whats bad in that?
we help you,you help us
dfi gets more money
we are happy with results
and we feel ourselves protected with good service
thats all

and nobody goes after that to other manufacturer

Gents:

I promised you some answers so answers you will get:

1: There are no current plans to develop an X68 chipset board. That said
never say never as things can change, but currently we have no plans
to build one.
2: According to my sources B stepping 6 core Gulftowns are currently
supported by our various X58 boards. The needed Beta BIOS's are
posted on our website. Note that this does not necessarily cover ES
models.
3: Xeon support..... The bottom line with CPUs from the server/mobile
market has remained the same over the years. DFI commercial boards
are built for the desktop market only. Such CPU's are officially not
supported on our boards and never will be. Unofficially thou such CPUs
will often work in most cases. To summarize it the "support" of such
CPUs is passive at best. In other words if it works by coincidence (Like
Opterons back in the NF4 days) then great. If not, then bad luck.

[Hardy Hardcore]

So jetzt wisst ihr alle was ihr net hören wolltet. Es wird kein X68 geben und das CPU's die nicht für den Desktopmarkt geeignet sind bzw. ES CPU's nicht supportet werden ist doch ganz legitim!? Danke dir Hr. Smith

 

[westsider]

yes i think it ok
i preciate to have such answer at this time
because i would sort my plans according to this news
X68 will be in my case if not DFI then some other manufacturer

 

[Labrador]

X68 wird (soll) nur ein "refresh" des X58 werden und somit braucht das wohl kein Mensch?
Außer man erliegt dem schwachsinnigen Hype um S-ATA3 und USB 3.0?

weisst du hab X38 und X48 unter eis getaktet und in sache FSB gabs schon unterschied
deswegen hoff ich X68 geht höher als X58
nur hoffnung hab ich mehr nichts

 

[REJ]

abwarten und tee trinken ich sehe noch licht am ende des tunnels x58(1366) ist gerade ertmal 1 jahr alt ....denkt mal nach wie lange es den 775 sockel gab/gibt....deswegen hab ich noch hoffung(mehr auch nicht) das es irgendwann auch nen x68 geben wird

 

[Bullshooter]

Das mag ja sein, daß ein X68 Chip irgendwann kommt, aber halt nicht von DFI.
Glaube das meinte Westsider.

 

[Hardy Hardcore]

Jo das wollte ich auch gerade schreiben, vorallem ist der X68 eh nur ein refresh....
