nice results coolaler you gotta get some ln2 to challenge kingpin :) you are one of the few people that has all the hardware to do so

[Khaotic]

Now THAT is a machine that could run a 30" LCD with a rez of like 2560x1600 and still be able to hold frame rates playing games that are acutally worth playing.

Thanks for the info :)

[J@mmer]

Some awesome max voltages there... Like a wise man said... I'm tipping it's a DFI.

[Trice]

I thought it was an ABIT?

[J@mmer]

What makes u say that dude?

[Trice]

I thought someone took that from his other pics he posted.

http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/products.php?categories=1&model=333

Thats the ABIT model there.

[Senater_Cache]

this is the ABIT or the ASUS or a yet unseen DFI ?
Im tthinking its ABIT

Actually you have to do that, because the middle slot ain't 16x

nice result coolaler, thanks for sharing.
is this on the standard eVGA mobo?

[situman]

Lower the Multi and show us how high the new Nvidia chipsets can go!

[Senater_Cache]

he specifically said it isnt ABIT..why ar people still talking about that.
Its probably Biostar or BFG or XFX.
maybe DFI?

coolaler? if there is an NDA can you tell us when it will be lifted?

[Quentin]

a DFI will be a good news :woot:

[d@rkn1ko]

if the dfi board can't go more than 350 fsb it seems to be very bad ..

[Yoxxy]

Seems as if it is bios problems. There is a new version of the bios eVGA is just finishing up. Contacted support today. Aparrantly it was a rush job basically. Quad Core now has 420 FSB stable. It is not the hardware that has the problems just the chipset.

[Quentin]

if the dfi board can't go more than 350 fsb it seems to be very bad ..

with kentsfields :p:

If not it's a DFI for sure.
the 350 is only with kentsfield atm afaik as FUGGER had the x6800 up to 520fsb :banana:
cmon tell us its a DFI man. I hate my board!

[JamesAvery22]

coolaler? if there is an NDA can you tell us when it will be lifted?

why are people saying "DFI" when Pt1t's post shows the layout is exactly the same as Abit's? Even the coolers are the same.

Unless coolaler linked the wrong image :stick:



As we explain in our review of Nvidia's new nForce 680i SLI chipset, a number of companies including Biostar, BFG Tech, ECS, EVGA, and XFX will offer nForce 680i SLI motherboards designed and manufactured by Nvidia itself. Other motherboard manufacturers, meanwhile, may choose to tackle the new chipset in their own way. One of those manufacturers is Abit...


So its not Biostar or BFG or XFX. Sounds like companies can either use the reference or come up with their own...

yes,evga costs arround 250EUR in Europe,so the Stryker is in the sam price class,although ASUS usualy prices it's board a little above everybody else...
btw,is it realistic to expect the Stryker board sometime next week?

[Wiggy McShades]

i just want to know if the non ROG version of this will have the same voltage options hell id settle for 2.8 vdimm

And that picture is the same as the one Pt1t posted.

Same angles, same holes, same wires...Too many matching details not to be the same picture.

WHy is there an Intel 975xbx Bad Axe pic in the middle of coolaler's pics? And it seems to be a revision 306...kinda strange since the BadAxe2 is on its way to retail stores right now!

[hoodlikegaza]

it can't even do 350 stable? what a waste of time...

[SimbaLion]

Regarding the retail package pics...does anyone else find it kinda strange a $350 motherboard doesn't include rounded ide cables? But I guess the leather key fob makes up for it? :)

Question: What are those two ports to the right of the PS/2 ports. The rounded orange AC adapter looking port and the gray/black covered port.

[Rattle]

the 350 stable problems is only with quads correct?

I especially like the clear cmos and other buttons makes life so easy when you wanna tweak.

It's a "LCD Poster" diagnostic screen.

The lightbulb controls the internal LED's which light up the motherboard at "strategic points" to help you see things more clearly. It also cuts off power to the motherboard so you don't fry things.

Aah thanks...

Got it now :D..

This board is supposed to retail at 350$ right?

[SimbaLion]

From the looks of things probably $350 is about right. Now, can you help me tell what the two ports to the right of PS/2 port is? The orange hole and the covered up gray/black thing.

OW yeh baby! I was right, I dont get why you guys think or assume this board will be 400 USD. Just wait and see, i ordered mine for 250euros(320USD)Wait till it gets listed elsewhere, and youll see it wont be that expensive.

Does someone know if it is a bios problem or something else that is holding the FSB back on this board? The EVGA board seems to do well.:(

[zemzelett]

I would also like to know the max FSB on a core2 duo, any of them.

Thats the only thing thats holding me back from pre-ordering one right now, layout looks good, voltages look great, if the bios is anything like the AMD version (Crosshair) then its prolly got a great bios as well.

If you get the time, please test with a dual core.

Thank You in advance.

[Senater_Cache]

ok, noone else seems to have noticed a lot of things so I will just go ahead and say them

1) Coolaler, why does your Striker have only one set of heatpipes and not the double assembly in the retail pics and that other guy's photos?
for example, the heatpipe OVER THE ATX 12v plug is not present on coolalers board.
Did he have to remove it to fit his Tuniq?

2) Coolaers board has blue SATA plugs wheras the other guys has dark purple ones.

3) The voltage options are nice, but the mem timings available are the same as the eVGA

4) Why does Coolaler's have a piece of tissue paper over one of the ICs by his NB. and WHERE is The heatpipe assembly ?

5) The board does not appear to have digital VRM, im unsure though...the coils are RIO R27

6) The board appears to come retail with temp sensor equipment that can be connected via headers to the mobo itself ( retail bundle shot , top left )

Wich is the maximum FSB overclock for this mobo? The EVGA 680i mobo can run at 520-530 MHz FSB, and what about this?

I am very anxious to know the max FSB!

One thing I noticed about the EVGA version that I received today is that unlike the Striker, it does have caps close to two sides of the socket, so it looks like the asus will be easier to fit phase.

[Yoxxy]

EVGA seems really easy to fit phase. I just really need the new bios to come out one of these days. Luckily it is going to happen here pretty quick, as retail C2D Quad has same problems with FSB.

EVGA is being VERY stingy on letting anyone have the bios to test out other than the couple review sites, unlike Asus where beta bioses are always available. It's little things like this that make the difference. :rolleyes:

By the way: why aren't there any boards by any manyfacturer of the regular 680i chipset? I can only find 680i SLI chipset boards...

Is it just me or does Andre's board in his pics HAVE the heatpipe above the 8pin power connector and The board in Coolalers pics DOESN't???

Nice features I agree, however i wouldnt say beaten yet at this point, the board doesnt seem to overclock worth a damn right now, which leaves me to beleave why its taking DFI so long on their board, if you think about it, DFI should have had the first board out since they scrapped the 590 chipset and began working on the 680i quite a while ago.

Even the EVGA retail boards dont seem to overclock all that well, most being stuck at 450 which isnt to to bad, but 333 for a $400.00 board is sad, mine as well buy the 590 chipset and save a couple hundred bucks at that point. I hope that things will change with some new more mature bios.

[Trice]

Have BIOS ever done THAT much though? I mean its not like its going to go oh hey 50MHz more on overclock!

[situman]

I haven't seen coolaler gone higher than 333fsb on any of his runs. Usually we would see max fsb as one of the tests.

Too True, ASUS boards are some of the best overclockers around, not to mention they also look good :cool:

[Alexandrus]

No 680i boards overclock well with Conroe or Kentsfield, so it's not just ASUS. We'll see when they're launched, I mean the ASUS and the others, maybeby then they'll make some BIOS tweaks or something.

He doesnt have the faceplate on, either the faceplate lights up or its led's backlighting the faceplate (prolly more likly) Not much point in messing with a faceplate though if you have it on a bench like he does.

Heres a Link (http://zeus.asus.com/hq/products.aspx?l1=3&l2=11&l3=397&model=1439&modelmenu=1) that some pics of it lighted if that helps.

[Ibinco]

As for now all Kentfields tested on all 680i boards dont clock well. However im still yet to see how the striker does on the E6600 for example...i would love to see max FSB. Coolaler m8, go for it!!! Pleeeeeeaseeeeeeeee :)

[Alexandrus]

Apparently, all reports indicate that Allendale does over 500MHz FSB, but Conroe and Kentsfield do around 400MHz FSB. Not a great result, but...hopefully will improve in time.

coolaler,

did you determine max fsb? is it stable on 533MHz as promised by NVIDIA?

does it make sense to buy Asus Striker instead of BFG or EVGA?

maybe it is just "funny useless" heatpipes and LED stuff... and it cost additional 100$...

what do you think? is it worth 339$?

I realize your asking Coolaler this question, but i thought i would throw in my 2 cents. For me its worth it, i hated spending 400 bucks on a board, but the evga, bfg etc reference design is not for me.

1. The electronics on the bottom of the board is a big issue for me since im using phase change.
2. I wasnt happy with the voltage settings in the bios, not high enough for my needs. Need more vcore and memory voltage then whats currently offered
3. I really hate the place they put the front panel connection on the reference board, its in the way of my water pump, and very close to my hard drive cage.
4. I like the esata ports on the back of the striker.


A bunch of little things that just add up, so for me i rather have the striker over the other boards, the p5n32-e board looks like a nice one as well, but people was reporting 1.6v vcore in bios and then the droop on top of it, thats not enough voltage for me, striker is reported to be 1.9v, so at least with the droop its still decent. You can easly mod the p5n32-e and get the voltage you need and save quite a bit of money, but seriously, if you buy a 300.00+ board, you shouldnt have to mod the stupid thing on top of it. I think for air or water cooling, the p5n32-e is a great board, and for phase change, the striker. At least right now with what people are reporting for voltages.

My striker was shipped today, ask me next week if i still have the same opinion.

Just my 2 cents, take it with a grain of salt if you'd like.

[palehorse]

EDIT: nvm, i found the new C2D thread...

[Nilson]

zemzelett, thank you for your opinion :)

I didn't use phase-change or etc. Maybe the water will be right way for me.
The most imortant things on this board for me: stable voltage for CPU and memory, and high FSB. If Striker can't hit 500MHz - it's not worth 339-410$ :(

For AMD case: if you spend extra money on DFI SLI-D rev.AD0 or Expert boards - you can get high FSB and stable voltages.

I order Striker for 345$... still waiting :(

[Ibinco]

Very true.

What flabergasts me is the fact that no one posting here with a 680i mobo and G80's has taken time to find this glaring flaw and been corteous enough to inform people about it.

The only people who have uncovered this issue are the ones who have bought 680i and G80's and used the system for gaming in sli, as it was designed to be used. They haven't bothered to just run 3DM or superpi, they have actually used the system for real world applications and discovered that this system doesn't preform as it's speced to and that's an attrocious discovery.

How a product can be so hyped by reviewers and testers yet is completely flawed in it's current state is appaling. People realy need to be informed that 680i is not all it's cracked up to be as it stands atm.

FSB @ 525Mhz, not bad at all... Is that with stock cooler on NB?

Very true.

What flabergasts me is the fact that no one posting here with a 680i mobo and G80's has taken time to find this glaring flaw and been corteous enough to inform people about it.

The only people who have uncovered this issue are the ones who have bought 680i and G80's and used the system for gaming in sli, as it was designed to be used. They haven't bothered to just run 3DM or superpi, they have actually used the system for real world applications and discovered that this system doesn't preform as it's speced to and that's an attrocious discovery.

How a product can be so hyped by reviewers and testers yet is completely flawed in it's current state is appaling. People realy need to be informed that 680i is not all it's cracked up to be as it stands atm.


EXACTLY!
I have read page after page and seen screenshot after screen shot.
Super PI this and ORTHOS that. Like, WTF? Do i start my computer EVERY DAY just to run ORTHOS or SuperPI? No, At some point, I'm proably going to use it to play a game or low and forbid, something productivity based. But yeagh, a board like this is meant to be gamed on. Overclocking stability is one thing, but once you find it, its also time to see HOW well the rest of the system hangs. And when it doesn't - THATS what we need to see. Now that you can scorch SuperPI - CTFO

What is with the IP ID above your sig??

Where the heck are the striker boards? ETA's have come and gone.

I called newegg as I was refreshing the page all day and all the sudden the ETA date was gone:eek: They were not a lot of help with information.

So I called a vendor that is in the same location of Asus and he said they were to receive the board before Thanksgiving but Asus now says tomorrow or Thursday.

To be honest, I forget where i got that thing...........
