Question for you guys already runnig this board. Can you run crossfire graphics (both at x8 I know) in slots 2 and 4? I have an Areca 1230 on the way which runs at x8 and I wanna use it and crossfire. The only way it will work is if I use the 8,8,4,8 config with the Areca in slot 1, the master x1900 in slot 2, the slave x1900 in slot 4 and my Xfi in the bottom PCI slot.
Or will I have to go to one graphics card? I which case is it best to go for a Nvidia 7950x2 ?
mine tooQuote:

Areca seem to think there would be negligible performance difference between using a 8x or a 4x slot - and it will work in the 4x speed slot. Using the Areca in slot 1 will leave very little room between your two graphics cards (assuming they're double slot), something to bear in mind.
How high can you go with 1:1 divider?Quote:

Crappy 975X made in Costa Rica :( ;)
All of the previous 975X chips have been made in Malaysia.
How can you tell where its made?Quote:

for spi 1m i was at 510, but I am quite sure that rams were the problem, at the moment i don't have rams that would be able to followQuote:

respect,zbogorgon!that was with vmod or without?
543fsb on 975X, wow now this is freaking...
Here we go:)...The fun part with high Mhz and high FSB (with this board)..
Awesome run there Stilt and Zbogorgon:toast:
Do all the memory dividers work on this board ? Im thinking of replacing my DH with it.
I haven't even played with my P5WDG2 WS yet! It's still in the freakin' box.
More stuff to buy...
Is this board lookin _that_ much better than the rest of 'em? What am I saying. Let me rephrase, is this board lookin' to be the best of 'em?
EDIT: Plz excuse the noob for not reading the whole thread before he posts (me). Ordering board now, thanks all for posting results.
Yes, performance wise.
Except Vcore OVP @ >1.7V.
we need an ovp bypass mod :D
getting this board this week
My CPU feels rock solid on this board at 4GHz and air-cooled.

Has to be really really good 6800 to run >4.8Ghz with 1.7V:)Quote:

Hi Sierra. What voltage did you set in the bios to acheive this result? I've installed this board and am slowly working my way up to around 4ghz if possible, but I don't want to apply unnecessary voltage sine this board overvolts a good bit as it is. Thanks and excellent results as always.Quote:

im @ 456fsb on air, no mods, cpu cooling limiting fsb, ill be going on water shortly..
but i cannot run 1:1 @ 456 (435 max 1:1), 2:3/4:5 is fine, ram runs @ 500 4-4-4 @ 4:5.
guys, is it a bios setting/chipset/mobo/cpu thing? what can i do to get higher 1:1?
cpu/mobo/ram in sig
tnx!
I did not turn throttling off .Quote:

I have lapped my CPU and I have used coolaborotory liquid pro , also have a great HSF , it just doesnt add up right for it to be 94c.
When it was at default speed it showed 45c , its not possible , also usually in the past when I tried to max something pentium D and my temps were about 70c I could not go higher and it would not post there is definitely something wrong with the temp sensor.
If you run prime and you start to get errors then its not stable but you run four hours of it then it is stable enough to run 4hrs at 100% , also when does that happen normally in a CPU's lifetime.
Even when I am gaming it only goes to about 50%

A bad contact could mean your CPU temp is a lot higher than the system temp, it doesn't necessary follow that your system temp has to be high as well.Quote:

Even 70°C is too hot for 24/7 load imo.
EDIT: You have a lovely kitten! What breed is it?
I ordered a P5W64 WS Pro yesterday at eWiz, it's out for delivery today!
I'm very busy with school but as soon as i have it up i'll be posting results.
edit: arrived at 9:15 AM, didn't even use overnight shipping, very impressed
Nice results there Dumo. You always seem to get some of the best boards. Cant wait to see some LN2 runs on it.
Hey guys I have this motherboard with a 6600 paired with th eopb edition ram. But I cannot seem to overclock well. Anyone care to share some tips? Could it be due to the chip limitation? Its a week 24 chip. Or does using sata hdd affect the overclocking performance? I used 1.4 (Ai booster) to get my 6600 to 3gig but it is only stable for 15-20 min. vmch is 1.6, vfsb is auto, vdimm is 2.1 at 5 5 5 15. So I think that the ram would not be the limiting factor. Any help?
Vcore 1.7V+ has some problems. I will fix vcore in the few days.:)
Thanks Andre:toast:Quote:

Dumo: Just so I know in advance - I presume from your PC Probe temperatures that this board doesn't read negative temperatures properly? Wonder why the P5B-Deluxe seems to be able to do it, but not this board?
Yes, PC Probe read it as -255...ie. 215-255 is -40C.
I think bios can only read up to -35C.
i got -60° in bios normaly, dind't go any lowerQuote:

Mine is 68M0AG, too.
It also perform well as you guys.

Which bios are you using? 0022 seems to give the highest FSB with normal cooling, especially if you run single-core.
Using default BIOS 0116.
I fixed the problem by setting ram timings to auto, which sets 5-6-6-18, even though the ram is underclocked and likes to run 4-4-4-12.
It would only boot past 350 FSB using auto. I'll have to play with the ram.
Currently 415x9 1:1... priming 1.38v in bios, overvolt rocks :D
Under the memory timings section, set Read Delay to 7. That should help.
Thanks Sierra, i'll see if that helps me set manual timings.
Right now i kept it on auto mem timings, so the memory sucks... BUT...
I'm priming at 9x430 = 3.87 Ghz with 1.5v set in the BIOS, 1.52v in windows, not bad :)
I'll push for more FSB in a sec, i need over 4 Ghz benchable

edit: unfortunately read delay 7 didn't help. I can't get this board to boot at anything other than AUTO mem timings.
Another 68 here...Quote:

Absolut that is normally very good memory - so I'd hold out some hope for bios maturity to help you out some. Nice clocks though!
Nice board. Seems like its the one to look at

I hear 1.7v is ~ 1.67v real. Not bad anyway.
I'm having problems, tried overnight prime at 411 FSB and my computer turned off. 1.8 Vmch, ram happy, CPU has excessive volts, what gives!?!?! Seems anything over 400 FSB gets a BSOD eventually...
I did 420 fsb with an e6300 out of the box but I seem stuck @ 430 fsb, doesn't want to boot past that with the stock cooler and ocz plats.
I got the board yesterday vmod it and its running 411fsb with 1.5V VMCH stable .Quote:

Maybe it has been said here but I have a question about this mobo.
Could it run with 4 x X1800XT without crossfire ? It's just for power supply testing purposes. Could I plug them to load the system and just use 1 monitor ? Would drivers let me use 4 monitors at same time (just 1 monitor by card, not usin dual DVI).
Many thanks.
i have ,so thats not it,maybe im not setting it up rightQuote:

Temperatures messured with Core Temp Beta 0.9.0.91
just bare in mind that one's settings on one puter will not necessarily work on another...to many variables...
loosen your memory timings and things will probably improve.
my view of temps:...if you do not game, don't sweat it..if you do game, just find what works best for your scenario.
:D You can buy mine when I own RD600............:lol:
