12-20-2005, 12:09 AM

I can't see any of the links for some reason, will have to wait till I get home.

I'm hoping that Intel do get the SLi licence even though, as Saaya and I were discussing, that might be unlikely. I'd really like to go from my 875 Asus P4C800 to a new rig early next year with cheap Cedar Mill to tide me over till Conroe comes out H2 2006. I'm really suffereing with games at present and have two 6800GS cards waiting for a good home. The nvidia Intel chipset does not look as good overclocking wise.

I think I am so keen on 975 because 875 was so good and they both have 75 at the end :)

I'm just waiting for things to happen I guess to see what transpires.

Regards

Andy

And wtf is GPIO ???

And with simmetric PCI-e slots SLI will be very possible indeed - of course with modded drivers. I really doubt NVidia will licence Intel to make i975 SLI compatible

What came first, the equipment or the kid?

Andre's driving as fast as he can to the nearest hospital, while his wife is pulling on his hair, screaming, "hurry up, the baby is coming!". Andre accelerates then STOPS!:eek: Runs into his local computer dealer, pulls out his credit card and buys his new equipment, saying " This baby will NOT be born without my new 975 board!:nono: ". He jumps back in his car and accelerates off to the hospital but notices his wifes silence, looking at him with absolute astonishment :stick: and says nothing...total silence...death to a husbands ear. The wrest is history:p: THE END

Congratulations Andre:bounces: :eleph: :bday: :party: :banana3: :YIPPIE:

Andre, would you say that this board is a LOT better than the 955 p5wd2-p ?

I didnt want to upgrade my mobo as well with presler because of needing a new mobo for conroe but if it will get me 500mhz more overclock then i would be all for it.

What is the ma FSB you can reach on the board? Having PCI-X is a dream! But from the ANATECH review they only reach 300- not sure whether this was the real max.

my p5wd2 premium can reach 375fsb stock cooling HS, without any mod.

mch=1.65v

stable @ 366fsb dual_pi_32m+dual_prime95

I'm wondering how's 975x performance .

higher fsb brings xs result , especially whern 3Dmark benching

thats one hell of a board.. but why PCI-X.. and give me back my other IDE port!

from the looks of it the conroe performs like a beast. Any posiblity of testing with a 840EE or other dual core cpu from intel. Id like to see a performance comparison. Just a glimmer of a hope that Intel drastically improved performance per clock on these cpus.

Is that info available to read somewhere? I can't find a single bit of anything that says the 975X chipset or P5WDG2-WS (or P5WD2-E) supporting 1333FSB OR the Conroes. If you have some solid info or a link, please share. I was going to skip a 975 board and just wait til Conroe is released to get a board then, but if what you say is true I may not. Please do tell...

Isn't the 975 basically just a "tweaked" 955? I don't know how much better it can really be, but that may not stop me from getting one anyway if it supports Conroe :)

Much more than just a tweaked 955. If Intel is putting off i965 until Conroe Launches, then Conroe sure as hell will be supported by i975.

One question..

The Presler supports multiplier from x12 - x60, any mobo's with that kind of support? or just close?

IluvIntel

12-23-2005, 11:13 PM

One question..

The Presler supports multiplier from x12 - x60, any mobo's with that kind of support? or just close?

Thats for the ES versions, regular retail versions will have appropriate mulitplyer for cpu clock speed. example 920 = 14 x 200mhz (2.8ghz) Its highly likely multiplyers will be locked. If they all had unlocked multiplyers it would be an Overclockers Dream ! :D
However thats not to say that higher end chips will have multiplyers locked on certain vendors mobos. A situation like this occured with older 5xx and 6xx high end chips on certain Asus mobos whereby "cpu lock free" feature can be turned on in bios, but only to 14 x

a unique situation also occured on Asus P5WD2 mobo (955x chipset) where you can "force" the 14 x multi by setting EIST to "minimum speed" on lower range chips such as my 630. :)

One question - all my Asus P5xxx mobo's
switched power off (like pc is simply turning off) for ~3 sec. before restart. :(

What about 975X Asus?

lol
you dont need a link to prove that
the 840ee is already mp unlocked

plus

according to past experience, es cpu's highest mp= its default ratio
and in cpuz you gonna see (ie. 670ES 14-19)

in 840ee and 955ee, you will see 14-60
thats the difference

that with the 3 secs restart is a bug that has been from the biggining. as soon as you oc over 240 fsb ,this will happen. all the p5wd2 boards do it, something youll have to live with .;)

So, VictorWang :D :
What about your Intel mobo?
No cpu FSB OC'ing at all? (only multip. with 955 ??)
Vcore/Mem.volt. only auto?

And why did you say this one support Conroe? (1333mhz + 930 :rolleyes:)

So you have owned an EE before?

I can't justify the financial outlay for EE cpu here in Oz, roughly around A$1,500 for each one, that kind of money could get you a Vapochill and lower end cpu..lol!:)

Something I dont understand, on Asus board p5xxx, when you do a restart, it turns off the system for 3 seconds then back on.
Thanks

i think its sortet on 975. but not sure if it is on p5wdg2.most off the 955es that are running on the 975 chipset are not complainning .

So any speculation on when the 975 boards will hit the market mainstream?
Or anyone know where to get any of the 955es chips?

Also, why no benches with any phase cooling?

A Zalman 7700Cu cooler on mines - needed 1c air to cool it to 36c load!
With Tcase around 36c, the CPU is running around 50c load at 3.8ghz 900FSB - my day to day OC - thats an open case btw, I am scared to close it with the volt modded GTs and this CPU!

12-29-2005, 05:23 PM

P5ND2s still have issues at >240FSB right?

Is the P5WDG2-WS for sale yet? I've seen the P5WD2-E and the Gigabyte board FS already.

Kjaks

12-29-2005, 05:37 PM

Try burning it in for a couple or more nights to see how well it responds to it. This is kind of interesting since we know very little about the new Intel 65nm process. Use Toast burn-in or prime95 and starve it for voltage. I prefer toast cause its easy to see any progress.

Are the 930's out yet?

vapb400

12-29-2005, 07:57 PM

So does anyone know how the lower models like the 920 or 930 clock? I'm looking to get a presler but with the high prices on 975 boards and the fact that I need DDR2 I won't be able to afford a high multi chip. Will a 930 under a -70c dice tube base at load get me going high enough to do some damage or should I stick with AMD?
I'm in the same boat man, actually eerily so....I killed my Venice today by crushing the SMDs with a mousepot. I want my next setup to be Intel, I'm bored with AMD, and 4.5+GHz on air sounds enticing. I'd definitely be getting a 930. I'm trying to narrow down the motherboard now.

I did a froogle search and there are alot of smaller shops with them in there listing, I havn't found any in stock (looked for like 1 min)
I'd say $320 at zzf, newegg, and the big stores when it comes out.

But they're in the inventory, so that is a good thing!

markodude

12-30-2005, 04:26 AM

Apparently Jan 14th or thereabouts is when we will see stock of the 9xx processors in the channel.

As for 975x boards, I cannot find any in the UK. I could probably get an Intel "Bad Axe" but I want more overclocking features.....

NiCKE^

12-30-2005, 05:25 AM

Hm I believe I'll have to order from UK or something in order to get the price down a bit, we are so damn stupid in Sweden. We add 25% to everything and then the stores need to add a bit more to get any money when they sell the productr :(

Welcome to XS, thanks for the links.

ZZF seems to have the Gigabyte and P5WD2-E listed, but not in stock yet.

VR-Zone has a review of P5WD2-E

markodude

12-30-2005, 02:08 PM

@afireinside - all the 65nm chips should have better overclockability - but its just luck if you get a good 930 - the 960 should be the chip to go for overclocking IMO as it is the fastest speed bin.

@vapb400 - P5ND2 has issues above 240FSB with 200FSB processor, but the 3.46EE and 3.73EE I had worked perfectly at 1066FSB (albeit they are single core)

12-30-2005, 02:28 PM

I will probably go for 930 and some Asus 975X chipset motherboard then :D

what's the max FSB on the board?

mr_knowitall15

01-12-2006, 03:10 PM

what's the max FSB on the board?
according to vrzone, itll go up to 450. up to 2.4 VDimm... Only 1.7 on VCore, although, thats higher than most people will need.
EDIT: also, WOW they took it to 4.5 with no problem. thats amazing! usually reviewers suck at overclocking too. 345x13, CPUZ reads 1.392 VCore. It ran 3DMark05 at that. They just used a thermalright XP90C heatsink. OMG I AM SO GETTING THIS BOARD! and a 955 if they really are multi unlocked, if not, prolly a 950.

Mr Knowitall - 955XE are unlocked - 12-60x, of course you could wait for the 3.73ghz 965XE coming in April, but thats almost Conroe time!

Thanks for the link SlackerXL, I got rid of the P5ND2, 7800GTs and the 950, now I have a 955XE and an X1900XTX, should have the -WS next week and the crossfire master at the end of the month.....:)

this 7800gt lost its value really fast :(
