Very sexy look'n board, anyone bothered to try one yet? There pretty cheap at $114 and im tempted to buy one and give it a go if no ones put one through its paces yet.

hmmm. good price. i wonder if locks work and what voltages?

They call 1.55vcore an "Overclokers Board"? No wonder they closed the USA Soltek office. :rolleyes:

it would need a vcore and vdimm mod. But its got 2.8vdd and its got the locks shown in the manual.

I don't understand why anyone other than DFI isn't savy enough to know that they would pick up alot of business if they just gave good voltage options. If they are afraid of amatuers killing the boards etc., there are already plenty of ways to do that anyway.

yea, its kinda annoying. after i get my mach1 modded i might pick one up and get hell-fire to help me out finding vmods and give it a go if no one else has by then.

It may be a hot little board, other boards with poor voltage options have come alive with vmods in the past.

STAY AWAY from the board. it su.. I tryed it and here we go:

Offers 1.55 Vcore only

Dont respond to RAM timings when you set them. had to go with 3-4-4-8 to run my bh-5 memory. it WAS NOT posible to change timings

I wrote to soltek to here why this was called "build for overclockers" they told me that they did not test KHX memory yet, but they would ask Kingston for a test set....brrr :)
