Great board... even better review! :D
i just ordered a plain Ip35 "dark raider"
anyone have it? is it good?
thanks
But... one of these connectors is from the front panel, or not? The other is for usb???Quote:

@johnny, what version of uguru are you using?
also, have you noticed anything strange about your ddr2 vtt voltage?
mine is less than 1/2... almost 1/3 at most vdimm settings
@ Johnny Bravo:
Do you notice any PWM noise? Some people have complained about it.
any known vmods yet ?
LOL what forQuote:

how tha f... do you enable 2900 CF on this board ???
when I check Enable CrossFire, CCC wants to restart and after restart it's the same, and here we go agiin a milion times !?!
Wow.. very good motherboard... and very nice review ;)
Great review as always. Why can't all reviews be numbers and no BS?:up:
Johnny, any higher FSB shots for us to drool over?
Great Reviews
Abit is Back :up:
Have you fixed the 2900 Cross Fire issue yet?Quote:

nVidia & SLI are just too damned expensive. :eek:
I might have an XFX XXX 7950GX2 for sale if anyones interested. DD Water blocks attatched atm & running 850/800.
Well i´ve got one my self today, just finished installing XP and all i can say is this, PERFECT! :D
It´s too bad that my CPU has fsbwall at 473Mhz :( But no problem, i will soo put a Q6600 G0 on it :D
Very nice board with good quality.
Can someone explain to me this statement? What is 'native connection' and if I have installed my OS on a raptor for example, where is it suppossed to be plugged into if not the mobo? Slightly lost here. . .:confused:Quote:

What you're planning to do is fine, just use the SATA headers that are being controlled from the southbridge. What you shouldn't do is run an IDE based hard drive off the IDE from the JBMicron, because it'll run slow.
Thank You!!! Clearly understood now, that was a relief.
We're talking about IDE drives as in the old ATA100/133 drives right?Quote:
HDTach showed that the IDE drive had sub performance compared to a native connection but this is to be expected, as I doubt anyone will be running their OS off this chipset. CD drive performance was roughly on par with that of a native connection.
How much slower are we talking about? I yet have 3 PATA drives + DVD-RW so if I get this board I'll still prolly run the DVD-RW + 1 PATA drive of that controller and the other drives on my pci controllercard. Not that it matters that much as I use the drive only as a storage anyways.
with catas 7.7 enabeling CF is possible, but still very buggyQuote:
