so long as it is still a dual core x2 4400+ when i get it back lol ( meaning just dont kill it ) ......
when i was running it, it was on very good water, but i never tried to dry ice it, or anything like that( too noobish for getting it cold sealed ) and i think the highest voltage i tried was around 1.625....
but it never went over 43-44c with the IHS removed after 1.58v or above.
yah with the stepping it has i would have to cold control it as it will prolly bug. If it doesn't move and if you send it, max volts will be limited to 1.625Quote:

Not cheap but tempted ...
Mine is the ATI reference version but yes that board is identical to this one.
Be warned that some EURO sites show pics of the highline model and sell the low line model. Namely make sure that its not the RD580 crossfire advantage which is the budget board
Here's a screenie for those interested in some ATI system manager option's. No need for a64 tweaker with this ultility.

Is there any reason, any good reason, why nVidia could not have offered the same type of tool? If ATI boards catch on like it looks they will how long until nVidia releases such a tool? Just rhetorical questions chew*, not really looking for answers. Plus I already think I know :)Quote:

basically what im say is, nvidia doesnt need to. they have already proven thier worth... ati is the new guy, and they are kick arse imho.
That makes sense, but is that a good reason? :) And now that ATI is here and does kick ass, how long until nVidia reference boards do overclock, and there are standard nVidia supported overclocking tools? This highlights why monopolies suck and competition makes the whole capitalist system go.Quote:

How much longer untill this saphire or dfi board comes out ... if it is to much longer I might sell this sealed opteron and go with intel :)
Look what I just found. Not sure if this is the actual production release board as it looks like manta revision A.

hey be nice.... ;)
fact is the board comes out when sapphire releases it.

Your missing the point......I have been asked numerous times when it will be released and have not answered.......If the answer is out there fine.....Asking me will get you no where however.....And if the board isn't on the market yet which it appears to not be then it isn't released.........apparently they are taking preorders......Quote:

Manta is available in the UK from Ebuyer, its sapphire branded and is RevB
Sapphire promised me a retail version, if it arrives i will compare 1:1 with the ATI Es sample....
I have a friend there TONY, We ordered one. He got an email that they were taking preorders......I also purchased one yesterday, the stock # did not change.....I cancelled the order after he called them to confirm it.
I will have a friend of mine call monday, i was told they were actually in stock and available.
Keep an eye on komplett also they sell sapphire from the german disty's
Stock has changed at eBuyer, it's on Komplett's system & it's showing in lots of places in Europe
