nForce intel edition suck.

Very very very Hot and low OC`ability.

[vapb400]

Hopefully the Asus can overclock this time, besides that factor it appears to be a very nice board.

thanks for the pics!

[Metroid]

I will get that Asus or DFI. That motherboard from Asus looks very attractive.

P5N32- SLI quite well designed.:cool:

Thanks for the pictures the design is awesome.:slobber:

Yes,it has a good looking.

But it sucks no matter which vender is.

Yes I agree with you, the best for perfomance still being 775 based motherboards. Intel could support SLI and Crossfire together in its chipset and stop with this laming. Anyway I think I will get this 1 or the DFI. I'm aiming to get the DFI first, it depends which one will come out first so I can grab faster.:D

[shogan191]

Looks pretty good. It's going to be fun seeing how Asus and DFI shake out on this.

[ludeboy12]

i think DFI already told us how things are going to shake out....im mean only 5% of their production will be for intel boards.

From that right there im guessing they dont care too much.

I did not know it is just 5%, but things will change soon with the arrival of conroe.

Now is just 5% next few months 25% and so on.

What i see if we speak clear about enthusiatic is going all straight away to get conroe so things will change soon, just wait and see.:)

[ludeboy12]

no i dont think so. DFI says just 5% for intel for the next quarter. Im thinking they wont care about conroe untill their AMD sales drop.

[Metroid]

DFI surely is a strong AMD partner.

Anyway get to see that after conroe first month sales.

[{PMS}fishy]

Here are two big problems with this.

1. Nvidia Intel chipsets suck, plain and simple.

2. DFI can't make an Intel MB to save their life.

[musshy mushkin]

any idea when that asus board is coming out?

[Metroid]

any idea when that asus board is coming out?

Probably after ther world cup.

[musshy mushkin]

sorry for being retarted but what is there world cup?

do you mean computex? if so when does it end. like around what time.

Sure it is more important than anything right now. The olimpic games and the world cup are both the 2 most important events in the whole world.:)

Many people are going to germany including developers, programmers and lot more people so they will stop somethings now and go to support the world cup the biggest event ever.:toast:

So after the World Cup they will launch everything. That is why Conroe is July 23 after the world cup finals that will finish by July 12.

I cant wait to see how will be.:) :toast:

That revisioned P5N32-SLI SE (Super Edition) seems to be great with SLI.

I hope it will work well with Conroe.:)

[Skyline GT-R]

Metroid, SE is not standing for Super Edition, but just like with the A8N SLI SE for 'Second Edition' ;)

:lol2: for me it looks the same.

[nettwerk2006]

The Asus board will definately be great if the chipset doesn't limit overclocking this time around. Wish I could tradein my current board for the SE version. The current version suffers from undervoltage problems however, requesting 1.56V in bios, only gives 1.49 according to probes etc. Hope they fix that too.

Removing the passive heatpipe on the northbridge and mosfets was fairly easy to put a waterblock on, just push those pins down, and clip off the plastic stud on the other end and they pop right off.

[Shpoon]

Who the hell asked what the world cup is!!?

Sheesh...

I wish I was in Europe right now.

[J-Mag]

I think that dual card gaming is becoming more platform dependant than CPU dependant. I could see SLI rigs performing superior on AM2 vs Conroe just due to the chipset. Obviously it is speculation at this point, so I will be keeping a close eye out on results.

[[TAG]Imp]

I'm going to the world cup!!!
On topic now, any news on whether 965 can enable SLI through drivers?

[lionel57000]

other preview of mobo ?

no, 965 will _never_ support SLI, because one x16 is only 4x mechanically which is far to slow for SLI!

the 975X supports 8/8 which ought to be enough for SLI. but well, nVidia wants to sell their crappy Mobos :(

on the overclocker's Party of DFI with Coolaler they overclocked a XE6800 with an nForce. they only achieved a FSB of 27x mhz... maybe they hadn't enough time to test the FSB though. but I claim that nForce 5 IE will suck as well as nForce 4 IE did...

[lionel57000]

no more news about mobo and nvidia sli? is there any pic of dfi mobo ?

Those "sleeping connectors" or whatever kind of SATA connector will be excellent when installing 2 Geforce 7950 GX2 cards for Quad SLI. The SATA cables willnot come in the way. DFI is smart!!!!

Actaully a Conroe XE running at 270mhz fsb is not bad. Just run it at higher cpu multiplier and 270mhz fsb is good enough. And then run Geforce 7950GX2 quad Sli. It will be the best combo for ConroeXE.

Good overclocker or not Conroe XE + Quad SLI will be the best thing for gaming at 1920 x 1200 8x FSAA and 32X AF

keep in mind that the FSB is the bottleneck and due to that overclocking via FSB is the best concerning power ;) :toast:

and further more, for the normal user a XE is far to expensive. with 975X Boards even a E64 gives enough power (achieving FSB400 and 3,2 Ghz) for most of us :D

but you're right with Quad SLI. the nForce 5 IE will be the only way to get something like that going.

in german forums people gave the nForce the nickname "nFurz", which is translated "nFart", due to the bad Memory Controller in nForce 2 and nForce 4 IE.

Will Nforce 590 SLI support DDR II 800 and DDRII 1066?

I know it suppport EPP (SLI Ready Ram).

[lionel57000]

don t knw for ram

[Anemone]

The specs so far say only DDR2 800.

I'm wondering the the NF4 for Intel have Xifi issues? I know the AMD NF4 did, but I'm unsure if the IE carried the same issues forward. I think you know where the question is going...

I'm trying to understand how 270 isn't bad. It's barely over 1066 and if that's the baseline FSB for Conroe, how can barely getting past that be an "ok" thing?

No one has even mentioned the stability issues that abounded with the NF4 IE. There are many things the NF5 needs to have successfully addressed and the very lack of any enthusiast testing when so much is going on with 965 and 975 is a very bad sign, imo.

Many, many questions and not a lot of info is available yet. We shall see.

[lionel57000]

any idea for release ?

[Metroid]

Will Nforce 590 SLI support DDR II 800 and DDRII 1066?

I know it suppport EPP (SLI Ready Ram).

The Nforce 5 default imposed by Intel is 667 and 533, but it differs with motherboard manufactures.

The new DFI 590 intel will support both 667, 800, 1066.


any idea for release ?


Probably 27/07 in the same conroe launch day.

As far as I know 590 will differ in overcloking options and as for any REV 1.xxxxx for sure will be issues as time by time, but less than with AMD 2 socket, lack of linkboost on intel 590 edition is something disappointed.

I want to see how the DFI 590 performs against 975x and NForce4.

[Anemone]

Yep we need to see some testing. And testers need to really wring out the thing and be sure it's not just fast but stable too.

NF4 was not either of those things.
