I haven't got a board so can't comment to much but i have seen the board has been doing 530fsb.
So much to those who thought the chipset could only do 420ish tops...;) LOL
bring it on...i know i can't wait now :)

:eek: You're excited - there must be something good about this board then! Can't wait to see some proper FSB boards out. I was hoping to go for something like the P5W64-WS Pro + E6400 but this might sway me.
You not got that E6600 from Dabs anymore Smidders?Quote:

I did a DSR 2000 as soon as I got it.Quote:

wauw :toast:
im glad i didnt give i to temptation and got a DS3.
to bad we have to wait for at least another month :(
guess it will be worth it in the end though lol
:rolleyes: DFI is coming back
tony any news when it will be available the board?
Fantastic this is the kind of news I've been waiting to hear about this board :slobber:
I've been told ---> OctoberQuote:

I'll wait and see...
DFI Infinity 975X/G and their support scared me...:rolleyes:
Its fake! We want facts :nono:
cool, i still might get a p5b deluxe and try and sell it for RD600, its hard for me to wait so long
that sort of FSB in internal testing is mighty good but there are a few things DFI does which i don't like
hypes products way too early
takes waaaay to long to reach retail in australia (last board i got >> Expert i had to wait a cool 1.5 months AFTER it was made available at the distributor)
the products are bloody good but the wait man oh man
now i think there's actually something to look forward to anyways so that's a good thing :)
Looking forward to your results when you do get one Tony!Quote:

Great news Tony! I can't wait for a new board to replace my badaxe.
*i wonder if this board has a clean socket area..
Looking at the digital VRM of the Nvidia board it should be. Gone are the bulky electrolytic caps and in are smaller SMD ceramics ;)Quote:

i thought this board was dead......is it going to be released?.......if so it probably will be the last intel chipset from ati, i probably wouldnt buy it, because i dont think support will be too great.......ati=amd....also amd is going to use the amd name for the motherboard chipsets, and will keep the ati name for video, so i cannot imagine a amd chipset for intel, LOL.
And quite frankly, when was the last time you saw Tony actually post something like this - if Tony is excited, I'm pretty sure there is good reason to be. I just hope he will be doing some more BigToe BIOS's for the board - I remember the best DFI BIOS I ever used was the 704-2BTA for my Ultra-D - the only competition that came for that BIOS was one which was released almost 9 months after his one in the March 29th 2006 BIOS (329).Quote:

That was what I was told... Besides, those pictures that you see is going to be different than the final board. The final board has a different heatsink and most importantly, the 90º SATA connectors.
Excellent news pcmoddingmy!
Oh and can I say I enjoy your reviews very much ;) - nicely detailed etc :).
wow :D hope its end of September already.. :)
are there already pic's online of the DFI RD600?Quote:

What about the new rev 965 on the P5B, that is supposed to easily hit over 500FSB. This should be just as good for FSB. Although independent memory configuration is something totally different and in favour for the RD600.
There were but they got yanked. Dont think anyone is allowed to post them up here or else XS might get in trouble. :shrug: Maybe on some foreign site?Quote:

Early or late October Tony, if you know that is ;)
I can't wait for this board. 530fsb without the decrease in performance like the 965 chipset. That's a double win.:banana:
why do you think 965 is a decrease in performance over 975?Quote:

RD600 memory control is so weakness, so it's still slower than 975X and 965. But crossfire is better than 975x.
The most important thing is RD600 price, not performance. I don't know why everyone expect this mobo.
so maybe high fsb but low memory speed?
How much difference will the controller make? I'm just wondering cause memory always seems like the last you'd need to buy... If I'm just buying a 2x1gb DDR-8000 kit will it really make that much of a difference? Or I might buy 667. Memory usually seems to only have a very little impact on real-world performance so...Quote:

Some of the 667mhz kits scale really well, Team Group 3-3-3-8 kit, hits over 1000mhz at cas 4 and it's quite a bit cheaper than the 8000 kit prices..

LOL!!.. Give him a break.. Believe me! ;)Quote:

im expecting $299 USD or something close to that but not above $300
FCG so you're saying past 400MHz FSB boot that 965=975...someone that sounds far fetched to meQuote:

lets see 500+ on a 9x that will impress people.

Anyone noticed the vga cards in the pic? See the CF bridge? So that's a sample of R600?? Looks cool to me :D
i read that those are 2 x1950pro's:confused:Quote:

965 has looser timings so it allows to overclock far higher.
so 965>975 when you overl:banana::banana::banana::banana: becasu you can get much higher fsb and cpu speed generally (non XE that you can play with multi).

well in the newer Infinity 975X bios's there is a tref option in the memory section. Would loosening that have any positive effect for those boards?
hm havent played with that mobo but try and report :D it should help clock higherQuote:

that means the Lanparty UT 965 will OC nice.
but i still want RD600 more ;)
How do you know its on a 6 multi? I for one think its doing it on 8 and 7 just fine air cooled and 9 under phase maybe also.Quote:

So along with the new NV chipset in a few months we will see features we have NOT seen on Intel chipsets, so for me there is a lot new to talk about.
Just means more toys to play with :toast: :DQuote:

Has ATI indicated it still plans to go ahead with RD600, even if only one motherboard maker uses it? The rumors are Asus and the other Tier-1 companies are going to pass.
And if they pass, any future development and support will be non-existent...
What ram (2X1GB) would you recommend for this board? (I know it is hard to say if the board is not available yet)
Ram prices are going up massively and I don't want to wait and pay much more in two months.
i THINK most micron D9 ram will do just fine (eg Gskill HZ, Team, etc)
yup yup.. better grab the D9 now.. prices to where I am is going up.. and eventually they will overprice the good rams.. :(
What about these Mushkin modules:
http://www.memory-configurator.com/p...kit/index.html
Run it (really) cold and probly will reach 500X10:)Quote:

I had a set of elpida generic sticks and it was great.
I had mine to 800 4-4-4-12 at only 2.2v. This was on a Nforce 4 intel edition board which had no expanded timings that i could play with.
May not bad but what is DDR800 if the board can reach FSB 530? And 2.2V aren't that good. G.Skill PC6400 2GBHZ (Rev. 0605 or higher) can reach DDR1066 @ 4-4-4-5 1T 2.3V (and more) if I remember exactly. Running them synchron on that board would just be so nice. :banana: Of course this board has some asyncron features, but why not?
Even if the memory perfomrance is mediocre, the async cpu clocking is gonna be a real hit.
I want the async but an overclocked cpu needs its bandwidth especially with two cores, it'll still be good as alot of apps are single thread still
i can't wait till somebody here at XS gets to board and starts working his magic on it.
i sure hope DFI doesnt let us down here
:D Hm, just read about RD600 in a german forum.
There is said RD600 it is meant to be the first chipset RAM works totaly undependent from the FSB.
So You can set the mem always to max. specs without losing bandwith no matter what CPU speed is chosen.
Hope this is true.............., would be a great improvement. :banana:

An NDA isn't holding reviews back....they're just not ready to be sold yet and no revision is out to reviewers (and final revision isn't out to anybody yet). Very early versions may be in the hands of a few, and an NDA may be protecting those, but a preview of those may not represent the final version AT ALL.....RD600 hasn't been available for very long (only ES RD600s), and Oskar is probably still tweaking this thing. IIRC, he was having problems with it being kind of slow, clock-for-clock.
:D You can cut my arms and my legs - then I will order this board with my tongue........ :woot:
I'm hoping that DFI is waiting to make sure the board is actually complete and most major bugs removed before we get it. I'd rather wait an extra month now instead of being pissed off later. ;)Quote:
