Ocing with Kensfield and Conroe is the same like on nForce 680i SLI mobos, but with Yorkfields boards has problems ... with BIOS 0402 i cannot to OC my QX9650 even 1 MHz ... after OC attempt mobo freezes or no post ...

Finally i got a Alpha BIOS 12191 and my Yorkie is overclockable on this board ... but max multi i can to use is 6-9,5 ... nothing more :(
Max stable FSB with Yorkie is 400MHz, with 401MHz bobo freezes again ... but it is good start!

Id call that many things, and a "good start" aint one of them! Its not your fault though. :down: :shakes:

Can you send me a new bios?

I will test this mobo at January!

Thanks

wow, its 4% faster in crysis! now thats worth all the money and pain the bugged bios will cause! NOTTTTTT :P

I won't call that a good start, too. they need more than FSB 400 to compete with Intels chipsets. but hey, that's nothing we've seen before. if you ask me noone would buy their chipsets any more if we could use SLI on Intel-mainboards...

you really like borat, don't you? :ROTF: :up: great movie :)

400MHz is good start with Alpha BIOS, with previous BIOS i cant overclock Yorkie at all ... now i reach 400MHz and this is really good ... we can see working Yorkie on that chipset ...

I have another nF780 mobo Gigabyte and that mobo + Yorkie = no boot ... Asus is better ...

I like the heatsink design.

I still have nightmares about the SE, looks like this is going to be no different. :(

Reference board seems to be the way to go for Intel sli.

nah, the show is much better than the movie :D

680i CPC faster than x38+ddr3
:confused:

The name P5N-T makes it sound like a lowend budget board.
Thanks

shoulda named it pwn-t

780i :down:

with Conroe;) Maybe I can test with Yorkfield in January..

Conroe is miles away from usage of Yorkfield ... with Conroe i can OC fsb 500MHz without problems ... but Yorkfield is another league ...

poor bobo

Yes but still 400FSB is better than what we had a month ago, which was no York at all.

If we don't go for each % we all would be with our P5W's running CPU's at stock... and if we compare perfomance clock for clock nothing differentiates current boards with the first conroe boards... Really don't get your comment there... and it's too early to tell as we are only talking alpha bios and some are already making comments...pffffffff

Can someone help me with voltage settings on this board? I can't get mine to post with 400fsb

OBR can you get the Yorkies to work with the 680i reference boards at all?

I had this board for three days with a Q6600 (G0, week 39)
My board stopped at 370 (1480)FSB with 65nm quad.
Sold it and made some money though :p:
