Sorry about the jpeg artifacts etc. The image hosting site is packing these pictures poorly.


I can only imagine how easy LN2 overclocking will be :up: Full pot of LN2 and OC station next to you.. just click, click, click and you are done :D

Nex I will try this setup on air. There is only one silent fan on this setup, so I do not expect too high overclocks. Phenom II scales directly with temperature, so we will see.

These parts will be inside of the "SF3D OC Bronze" gaming PC ;) More info about this will follow soon.

whau, im curious at AIR max validation, some benches and max stabilitiy clock at AIR. Good work Sf3d !

Wow...sick board 0_0

Got the system running short while a go. Board seems to be very good!

Cooling conditions are not optimal now, but it was still doing well. I will show some screens tomorrow.

Looking good.

Awesome looking board but does it perform?

Judging by SF3D's sig, you should probably PM him. Maybe email him as well, just to be on the safe side. ;)

On a more serious note, there were some figures posted somewhere around here, if I'm not mistaken, too lazy to look them up, though.

very nice mobo wish i could have on already. the Crosshair II oc's phenom II's better than any other mobo i have so this thing has to be insane :D

wow what a heat sink... :eek:

Rocking wonder how much this is going to cost.

This board should cost a bit over 200€ in EU area.

This motherboard perform very well. You will see!

By the way, what's up with the star rating system. Every time someone does AMD related thread, he will automatically get 1 star rating :rofl: I can only guess who is doing this. It is very childish, no matter how you look at it.

Ehh screw the stars man, I don't even notice them I go by thread starter and views ;) Looking forward to some results :up:

Can you probe that puppy for me and show us vdroop under load SF3d?

Looks like the 8 leg IC top of board closest to blue dimm slot may be "A" read point, probably not the best but should give us an idea at least.

Are you launching your own Gaming PC Series? Nice

What does bronce mean in the name?!?

"SF3D OC Bronce"

Did you mean bronze?

Let's hope there'll be SF3D pianos as well.

weird
why use a Spanish word for bronze? lol

Can't wait to see results. Being holding off going AM3 at all because of motherboards. Been waiting on ROG series or DFI. I'd love to see how the station works also, good stuff :up:

Dino is gonna come back to AMD with this board it has tweak it with the + and - key on the keyboard :D

Yah I think this is geared more towards the hardcore crowd....., they omitted half the stuff we wont use to sell us a more expensive board :rolleyes:

Always thought less crud = cheaper.

It should come pre shellacked at least :D
