Do you have to increase the voltage to compensate, I wonder? Impedance matching for transmission lines is a wierd subject.

All right! This is one of my biggest beefs.

They didn't have support forum established for people to complain yet like now. DFI-street was empty. Now they got stickies on everything to do that are pages long.
I've gotten over my DFI craze after two boards. One died from volting clock ram 3.7V and not enough cooling around the 4V jumper. I had 120mm fans on the ram but not over that little chip in the corner and board died. Current one is going through 2 day CMOS clear. I doubt it will make it out and I will RMA it.

Do you have a preference for other mfg of 939 mobo now, then? I like performanc e like everyone here, but I'm getting into things like number of PWM headers on the mobo and passive and/or quiet mobo cooling like the heatpipe tech used for chipset cooling.
P.S. Sorry for thread hijacking.
