after 2 weeks of waiting on my nf3 ultra-d it came, I rushed home after work and got it all swapped out with my older board.. Go to power it up and... Nothing.. Checked everything out and reseated all the connections.. Still nothing... So just to make sure it isnt the power supply all of a sudden (antec neopower480) I picked up the older dfi nf2 board and just stuck the atx connector to it and it powered on. Hooked the system back up with the new board and same thing, no signs of power. Not even the standby leds? Good thing an m16 doesnt have a 6k mile range on it. Anyhow, suggestions?

Bout all you can do is double check your connections, and if that fails, RMA it.
An M-4 or M-16 may not have 6K range, but you can always call in a fire mission

Doh! Let me know how it works out...I was thinking about getting one of these.

well if your going to use the xp-90 it seems odd with the layout of this board, first of all the xp-90 is HUGE, the shop was laughing at it when they saw me pull it out of the box, its now called the "radiator" it completely hangs over my ram. As for the fan, I got the silent cat which is designed to blow air inward (towards the cpu)? Not sure if thats really how I should be doing it. As soon as I get a new board I will let you guys know, im not too technically sharp so my oppinion isnt to be taken seriously lol.

I've always found it's a "lazy" screw.
Make sure you have nothing causing a short @ the back of the board!

its dead, the rma is on the way. Did manage to sell my friend a couple of parts so he ordered me an 850xt so my system should be pretty nice (if it runs lol)

[Bio-Hazard]

It'll run.......sooner or later..............

I just starting using the XP-90C with a couple of boards for benchmarking....without a doubt the nicest air cooled solution I have ever used. Its no bigger than the XP-120, but it does intentionally hang over a wide area of your board to improve cooling of things like the mosfets and RAM.....Thermalright rocks.

over at the street there's a big ole long thread about the 939 nf3. basically you either get a lemon or a cherry. mostly people are getting lemons.

i wanted to try my hand at this mobo, but they dried up like vapor ware. spent three months waiting and looking. couldn't find a one of them.

lately i see there's a Rev.2 nf3 939 but i've still to see it online. some people are suggesting it's for the Euro market only.

either way, AGP+nf3 with a modified socket to 939 is nothing but trouble. the nf3 was never supposed to support a 939 socket. on top of which you can get an DFI nf3 250gb / Mobile A64 754 Newark 3700 or 4000 / 7800GS system and kill all the 939's out there (for sinlge core overclocking) barring the SLI/Crossfire; but then again the nf3 Ultra 939 is AGP anyways. the Mobile 4000 specs: 2.6ghz / 1.35vcore / no IHS / .09µ / SSE3 and will clock on air to 3.0ghz and on water to 3.2~3.4GHz. i'll be getting my 4000 this week and i have a new h20 system going on it also.
