they're getting very different results on retail wolfdales, within the next few weeks we will learn the true performances, ... I can wait.

Anybody that doesnt have a board installed yet do this for me??? Please???:cool:Quote:

You know this?...
You'll see a MSI Neo2-FR,bios 1.1 paired with a nice E8400.
It's Chinese,but you can use Google translate.
very nice. I ended up sending mine back. I didn't even open the box. I need a DDR3 board so i bought the P5K3 Deluxe. Good luck with the board guys. Looks like msi is getting better.Quote:

there are 2 mounting holes for the pwm cooler, I re-measured the distance between those 2 holes from center to center It's exactly 6.6 cms, I measured from the back of the board.
I also measured the northbridge cooler mounting holes, again there are 2 mounting holes, the distance between them is exactly 5 cms measured center to center, from the back of the board.

WOOT!!! That is just what i needed! Thank's! :cool:Quote:

It seems the earlier bios can boot with the wolfdales too.
Thats good to know. :)

When will I get mine?..
Hope to get one too...
:D
Keep those wolfdale numbers coming. Also i am happy bios v1.1 works i was not looking forward to changing as system is rock solid with that bios. I cant wait to get my hands on an e8400.:D
Wolfdale pre-order UK prices (ETA = 21st Jan.2008)
Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 = £204.44 inc VAT
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 = £144.51 inc VAT
Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 = £129.24 inc VAT
these UK prices seem heavily marked up to me, the E8400 has a tray price of US $183 per thousand, in the UK we will be paying $283 for an E8400.
US pre-order price for the E8400 from TankGuys is just $209. That's big difference in markup! Actually I think Overclockers.co.uk are taking the piss
I expect we'll see the E8400 drop in price once the feeding frenzy is over.

I went back to BIOS 1.1, very stable again.
The main problem was that i received the wrong memory modules :(
I ordered these ones: OCZ2RPR8002GK supposed to be DDR2 800 at 4-4-4-12.
But i couldn't do those timing, even ramping up the voltage, then i see Everest showing them as "OCZ2RPR8001G" at 5-5-5-15... oh well
ocuk prices are always silly thats why i am waiting for scan to get their stock as they will be better priced.
when i power up my system, it shuts down within 2 seconds, and then start again and boots. I only have this above 3ghz, but 3.8ghz is rockstable. Someone else having this problem too?
Yep, the board does that always. Double boot.Quote:

that's a fine overclock, MSI Neo2-FR + Wolfdale E8200 @4GHz with stock coolerQuote:

Can't figure out how to manually adjust voltages...any suggestions?
What do you mean by "how to manually adjust voltages?"Quote:

you should be able to do so under the Cell menu on the right hand side of the screen, Scroll down to bottom of the page and you should be able to adjust voltage values for vcore, dimm, cpu vtt and etc.
Once you select the voltage to adjust, use the + and - keys to go up or down in voltage.Quote:
