EXPERT has weak compatibility with TCCD. Cannot reach DDR550~600 with some memories.
In Venus, DFI re-layout it. And reappear the own glory of DDR600 1T!

Keep using the 1st gen, no reason to pay more just for the box

This is the OC competition by DFI own

Ultra-D/SLI-DR created the TCCD top limitation

EXPERT improved the PCI-E gaps, over 3.3V with non-segment, re-positioned DRAM slots, Winbond UTT become better but lost some compatibility with TCCD.

Venus inherit EXPERT all advantages and plus 100% aluminum capacitors, improved TCCD compatibility (a little bit weaker than Ultra-D)
Enhance 4DIMM OC ability dramatically and make 2GB OC become better.

Nowadays, 2GB is the mainstream. Venus¡¦s advantages are much bigger than weakness.

One more my own final test - 2GB HZ DDR610 3 4-4-8

Ultra-D honor is still there. Before AM2 coming, Venus carry on the honor.
Venus is still the most omni-bearing OC board.
As the high end strategy, special package, 100% aluminum and limited q¡¦ty
I hope DFI can have Venus non-aluminum version in lower price to make more user can own this K8 OC legend.

I'd say put a dual core chip and test the PWM circuit; see if it holds down the temperature.

Looks like a Rolex watch box

Still at 1T command rate?

Some ATX case using 120mm exhaust fan may have clearance problem using this board with the plug in video output; it stands too tall where the fan is. DFI still did not change the pain in the butt audio output connector location.....( the two blue short-out pins area) on the photo.

At $289, this board deserves FX60 price range processor; top end video card; $200 case etc, otherwise it would be like parking a Toyota in front of a multi-million dollar home. It just doesn't match.

Unless it's a Toyota Supra

The last year of the real Supra, 1993.
