Awesome pi time for 3.5Ghz on a K10 :)

I hope this becomes commonplace in the not to distant future..

Great work.

:) :p::D :D :clap: :clap: :up: :up:

BTW, what batch/stepping did you have?

Very nice results ,I think i'm going to sell my poor 9500:)

littleBoy, is that 3570MHz related to all four cores or one core?

now where talking. can you run 3dmark06 cpu test?

btw excellent results :eek: :up:

I'm pretty sure it would be rejected by cpuz if it were only one core.

Well, according to the technical specification each core can operate on its own internal frequency. Is that fact a barrier to validate a snapshot?

Hi

Nice setup you got, Congrats.

I was searching for that mobo, to replace my DFI 790FX-M2R, but I have on question:

I think so, every time I overclock with AOD, cpuz rejects my oc, even if it is the same freq at all the cores.

I was under the impression this board was canned in favor of the M3N-HT. Is this a retail board or some sort of ES board?

I think Ive seen it being announced, so not a ES I'd think.

:yepp: Mine too, unless I can reprogram it, it's a no go, and the worst thing is the M3N-HT DELUXE have the same SPI eeprom soldered. LOL I have to wait for the new 790FX revision.

I can validate with CPU-z with the cores clocked differently. The following validation validated Core0 (which was the highest of the 4) at 3200, The other three were as follows: Core1-3100, Core2-2900. Core3-3000.

Well, it is not all bad news, after some research I found the BIOS is AWARD, and bios options are great. :up: , they are LEDs for NORMAL/MEDIUM/HIGH voltages for SB/HT/MEM/CPU,NB... 3 extra thermal probes, you name it...
I want one of these!!
DFI 790FX-M2R, anyone?..:D

Im tempted to pull the IHS and check the TIM contact and replace it with ic diamond.

Does the Nvidia bios allow you to disable cores?

For these Phenoms that we know can be adjusted independently, maybe an update to cpuz to show all core speeds.

Crosshair II Formula user’s manual(German) it's the only one available

careful i believe these are soldered

Can't wait for these to hit newegg... I love my crosshair but it just isn't capable of handling phenoms, its time for retirement for the most reliable board I've ever had.

BTW, I looked at the manual for the M3N-HT Deluxe and the bios looks almost exactly like the one for the M3A32-MVP Deluxe, except chipset specific functions.

Central Brain Identifier Black release already have it.;)

Everyone Thanks a lot.

test cpu's core is 4 cores. i don't test the cpu with one core.

Bios chip is solder on mobo.

I am going to post the batch code later. 3DMark06 test too..

Then de-solder it:bounces:

Phenom 9850 3Ghz
crucial tracer pc8500 1GB

one of rams break down. ㅜ.ㅜ
I am going to rma my crucial tracer pc8500.

and I don't confirm amd overdirve util in CrossHair 2 Mobo.
Becase of nvidia 780a.

It is absolutely amazing the difference a stepping can make, pre b3 I would not have considered x4 but after seeing the last few oc results and my local shop stocking them I am very tempted.
