I have it in my hands, can only do a little testing tonite.
Screenshots soon.
Good luck :) Come back with some good news. Had one in hand since last friday but haven't had chance or willingness to install brand new windows as I got busy with A8N32 :P (yes I do have plenty of spare HDD but just didn't feel like dragging CD around, etc) I get the feeling this will be the mobo I might end up stciking to though.Quote:

here are some pics.
Will finish tomorrow testing.:D
nice results! good to see you don't need a mastercard woohoo! mine is coming friday.
I am using this thread strictly for the board I have a crossfire thread in the 3d section.
I will be loading up bios screenshots shortly.
Currently the board boots very slowly with crossfire enabled.
It gets into windows but it takes about a minute.
I will be testing with some kingston hyper x, gskill and ocz 3200vx.
There is a little switch you insert in the black slot so the blue slot can run full speed.
Mine comes in on friday as well, but i read over on AT forums that the Vcore options is broken? The reviews say it has a max of 1.65v but everyone on At forums say they can only get a max of 1.55v or so, which is not enough for most enthusiasts. Can you post what your max vcore is?
Will mark it down as something to report on.
Max is only 1,55v.
The board looks at the cpu mine is e3 so I can enable over volt option but it will give 1.45 max plus .1 on overvolt.
So 1.55 is the max at the moment.
I wish I could find one in stock. I'm all set to order my upgrade parts and am about to go with an A8N-SLI Premium. Not 100% satisfied with that idea though. :(
ewiz.com :)Quote:

censuspc.com has it but not in stock yet.
ewiz.com is 99.00 w/o shipping (i got 3day so it was $118 w/ shipping)
best price minus buy.com but they don't have it in stock yet.
buy.com is $104 with shipping.
Whoa, thanks guys. I checked Newegg when I got home from work a couple hours ago and it was out then. I'll check into ewiz, never bought from them before but for $40 less, it might be worthwhile. Otherwise, thanks LoN3R. :D *busts out credit card*
anandtech says max 1.65 (1.45 + .2) :stick:Quote:

bad news on my end... plugged in and OCZ 600W PSU spontanenously combusted. This isn't first time OCZ PSU did this and thankfully ballistix and opty 175 is fine. Going to take mobo on different PSU tomorrow and see if it is fine too... last 2 ocz spontaneous combusting psu didn't kill any components so I am not too worried (one 520 one 600)
PS) as suspected mobo lived fine. I will probably test on tomorrow
Wow thats good news and bad news...well mostly good news :p: Please keep us posted. I've beeen eyeing that board ever since I read the Anandtech review. I love more for less :banana: :banana:
I've been fighting for 2 days trying to get decent results with this board and Opty 146 CABGE with Centon TCCD on B6U808 with no luck, time to switch for the 146 CABYE, will do in a few minutes and be back to report later.
I just pick up one from my supplier today aswell, but its not for me, its for my buddy. Atleast the Vdimm goes to 3.2v.
anyone have any major gripes about this board? I am getting mine tommorw, can't wait to put that x850 MC to use
fwiw - Fry's also has the board in stock at their stores for $139
Im very curious about the max bootable FSB on this board...
I need high FSB to get everything out of my Opteron, ~320MHz FSB.
Good luck testing when you get your PSU swopped :toast:
Well, things are better with this CABYE than they were with his bro that wouldn't do 2.6 with the provided volts no matter what, even 2.5 was a challenge. It just failed prime after 1h18 while i'm typing this, funny thing is that if i try 296 it won't even make it to windows desktop. Ram is only running 196Mhz using a 133 divider cos' i can't for the life of me get it to run 1/1, i must be doin' something seriously wrong.
Anyone got a working clockgen for this board?
How about windows ram-tweaking?
