So far 975X/G no dropped multi's...

Like "toddm27" said the 975X/G does not allow to lower multi's and at the level of cool I am applying to keep the dewpoint just above 'condensing' moisture on the cpu...I cannot push that cpu over 4.0ghz...but currently it is a lot better than being hung back at <3800Mhz as so many air-cooled E6700's are.

What really whacks me is finding that there are next to 'no' 975 chipsets capable of handling DDR1000 for the majority of us in the real world. If I was a fortunate soul that had any claim to >DDR1000 on a 975 chipet board...even the 390x10 benches would rise I believe...but right now I have to live in the patch of reality I am given...hehehehe.

RGone...:D

sure it does, you disabled the option in your bios.

By the way, tony- while much improved... the infinity has the same problem the asus p5w has :(!!!

When any multi selected above 10, only 1 core gets the mult change, the other stays locked at 10. It is actually worse than asus because asus can at least go to 12.

Hopefully they will have this fixed soon.

I dont have that problem, tested w/ 2 different CPU's

Did you enable frequency unlimit?

I'd like to see a ss of the multi adjustment option with anything but a 6800 cpu, I sure don't have it with my E6700es and you are the only one saying they do have it.... I'd love to be able to go up with this cpu ;)

This is not the old revision board, but it's doing good so far... I'm still playing with memory setting trying to get a little more out of it. I'm having problems with running memory with the 533 setting.. using 400 now with 3-2-2-5 timings.

This is max with 1.62vcor...

Best 1M at same vcore/mem timings..

No one needs this improved c*ap, we have best mem Ocer - nF680i ... with unlinked options. Forget for mems ocing on 975X use brutal possibilities on new Nvidia chipset ...

Sorry, I meant to say that this is not the "new" board, I've had this one for quite a while :)

I don't think it's as clear cut as that. being able to run 445 fsb at read delay 6 on the 9 x multi with the 975 chipset is quite fast.

I already have the striker extreme and I'm running orthos blend at around 440 with 5-5-5-15 @ 1100mhz 2T. Some users of the evga have already reported has strap change performance hit over 1700fsb or so. max boot up on the current bios on the 9x multi is sround 1850, with orthos max coming in around 440-460 with the 0505 bios. consider the price difference too.

so for average users (who make up the largest market), the 980i still has something to prove other than superpi runs.

975x is faster, and it overclocks the CPU better. Only reason for 680i is for SLi.

I 2nd this.. damn Nvidia don't give proper drivers to run SLI in 975x chipset.. we resort to hacked drivers..

Building a new system - DFI 975x
I am building a new system, and am looking for advice. The system is designed as a water cooled every-day-stable machine. I am currently planning on utilizing the DFI Infinity 975x, and have questions about performance/stability and component selection. Current plan as follows:
- CPU - Intel Core 2 Duo E6600
  
  This is the starting point; C2D is no contest when it comes to building a new system right now and the E6600 is the most affordable 4MB cache version. I would like to hit 400x9 on water rock stable with this system (the cooling system is as extreme as it gets really - went overboard this summer on it).
- Motherboard - DFI INFINITY 975X
  
  From what I read, clock for clock the 975's are the speediest. To get the most out of the 4MB cache c2d's, 975's seem to be recommended on the forums over P965's.
  How much of a difference does the new board revision make?
- RAM - Need Advice
  
  Currently looking for suggestions.
  What sort of RAM does this board like?
  If I were to opt for 4x1GB what sort of impact would that have using the Infinity 975x?
- Graphics - eVGA 640-P2-N821-AR GeForce 8800GTS
  
  I can't justify the extra 200 USD for a GTX.
  How well does SLI work on the Infinity (I know it requires modified drivers) if in the future I wanted to expand?
  Wrong forum but does anyone know if the MP-1 fits on the 8800GTS?
Thank you for your time,

afaik there are no hacked drivers that support 8800.
afaik 8800 requires x16 & in dual gfx 975 is x8+x8 ...

Raju,

Where can I buy a rev 2 board? i dont mind paying a little more for a rev BAO board.

Thanks for the reply, Heidfirst.

Bootsy, I notice you are running 4X1GB of ram on your DFI 975 - are there any problems running 4x1 vs 2x1?

brudda I have no idea at all. Other than ask sales at dfi europe if you're this side of the big pond.

SOme other people like Tony/Rgone or HappYG may be able to find out where the boards have gone thus far.

I don't have one myself, still got my trusty a rev board.

I would not really go for it just for the b rev if you already have the a, if you don't have the board at all of course, I'd be hunting the b, even if the logic is not truly justified..

Tankguys.biz should be getting them, however we will have to wait a while for them, hopefully theyll have them by the end of january.

Thanks for the update..

looks like no one has seen a BA0 in the wild yet.

Too bad.

so no way to lower multi in BIOS? Is that right?

Read delay 5 @ 435 fsb isnt too slow at least ;)

The 680i that I had a chance to set up didnt impress me much, decent board, but not amazing in the least.

I hate to persue more 975x boards, they always have huge hype, and just disappoint.
