why are 975s better then the 965s? Whats the difference?
975 = native crossfire support
is that the only reason people are favoring 975? I've heard alot of people talking about 975 being better I just never asked. From the looks of the asus website the Asus P5B only supports up to 400mhz fsb..that true?Quote:

975x is the higher-end chipset, probably end up OCing better.
Someone on this forum has already done 410, and bios goes to 450, someone still tried to argue when shown a bios shot showing it went to 450 so they guy benched at 410 to prove his point. I'll just check if the exact same mobo we're both talking about.Quote:

Is that maybe dependent on BIOS revision?
:)
Heres hoping there`ll be better SLI support on Intel soon (hey..I think a few other folk have thought that too! :D)
Back to the original post... no..the UK doesnt have conroe boards yet, but pre-order *might* allow a select few to get theirs a bit faster...if they get a board from the first batch in.
You can get the Bad Axe in the UK. And OCUK looks as though they'll have their 965 boards in soon. The Asus A9B looks quite fun to me.
@pete; why do you need a camera? What is wrong with the print screen button just to show us CPU-Z etc? I know you have no obligation to, but we'd all love to see your results etc.
Scan has had the rev 304s for a while.
@ ibby,dont worry bro ,Pete is the biggest BS ive seen on these forums since God -knows-what.I think he's got some self esteem issues.
Intel and Asus FTW? Sounds like it,but i really dont like the heat pipe 'solution',these boards cook,but if they are the best mobo for the job,then i'll simply get a 3rd party cooling set up.
they have some "Conore " boards listed ...not more
in the land of the "SUN" :banana: :banana: :banana:
so there is no sense to open a new thread
in my humble european opinion
:stick: :slap:Quote:
Wait till next week when my RMA camera arrives and i'll have pics of it all for you to swivle on.
Just more excuses

Oh and sometime there is soemthing of being a show off. Regardrless of how long you been here and there live with it mate. i'm here, i'm gonna get the best befor most due to whom i know.
Why does everyone else want contacts intel. :stick: Come on figure it out .. 2+2Quote:
If you need a contact at Intle they got an amazing website. Why do you need my Contact?
And what makes you say that. An extremely large assumption from some one who does not know whome i am.Quote:
You don't run a shop like Gibbo whom asked for my help.
What high horse, it was you who was saying that shes my ex gf and i dont want to give her contact details to you.Quote:
if you've gotten of your high horse i would of offere dit to you but sod ya.
All i wanted was a YES .. NO answer ... Didnt need to know she was your ex gf .
No one really hassled you... You were the one who went around talking all big and failed to show any results.Quote:
Suffer like 900+ muppets that hassled me 24/7 over Conore and mobos here, ep and ocuk
As for Mav me and the other guys and EP and XS. Your in no leauge of ours.
Before you call anyone a Muppet have alook at your self, and then talk to others.
As a friendly warning, I would advise you to watch your mouth and stop Humiliating your self infront of other members.
I do not apreciate your personal attacks and name calling, if you carry on, i will make sure your stay at XS is a short one.

Have you seen the coolaler review of the DFI infiity mobo?
@thebeast
Couldnt agree with you more.Quote:

Lets keep it all on topic now.
yeah, it looks pretty sweet. Nice high FSB, if that 600mhz screenshot is real.Quote:
Have you seen the coolaler review of the DFI infiity mobo?
Apart from the ATX 24 pin connector location that is...
Still, OCs sweet none the less :)
What one ya thinking of? I dont know much about Intel board compatability. One of the MSI boards?Quote:

I could go on but I don't think I need to.
Incidentally Pete - I don't know you from Adam but you banging on about people messaging you for Conroes... just what did you expect when you post in threads on here saying "Get a mobo i'll give you s CPU to play with" (this thread) and then get stressed when - God forbid - people actually PM you about it?
Then you PM people with this:
Firstly, as far as I know Intel don't sell ES chips to people - they give them chips to test. Also, you sent this PM back on the 23rd of May - saying "ES and retail" long before anyone else had a Step 5 chip, which no one actually even knows yet if that stepping will be retail... and yet you had retail chips in your possession?Quote:

Yep that is awsome 600mhz shot is good.Quote:

If they moved the atx and the 9pin to the top right of the board it would have been much better.
Actually any where would have been better then where it is located at moment.
Yes mate, the MSI one, that Coolaler first did the review one :toast:Quote:

as for petes issue, Lets just leave it guys.
ibby
Be mindful guys certain people are desperate to get to the classifieds section of this forum and will pull most stunts to get there ;)
Mav
Like spam? +1
I didnt even know there were classifieds here.
sniff sniff i wanna get into classifieds, not for conroe or other intel related stuff though.
What kind of "less feature" ? The P965 come ICH8 while 975X come with ICH7. Feature wise, the 965 have more potential.Quote:

Beside the Crossfire and maybe a better overclock (even if the 965 can go as high as 450mhz, all board might have a fsb wall anyway), I don't see any other advantage to the 975X.
this thread reminds me of the clown on ocuk, drazic, claiming to have all these processors but has yet to post any screenshots in the last 3 months lol
anyway back to the topic, does anyone know where i can get this intel rev 4 board from in the UK or any other? not the preorder malarky thanks.
.. dont make me buy this in the meantime lol
