I only see small heatsinks on the 780 boards, not 790.
Nice. But I still won't get one unless K10 is a keeper.
And, even with only Spanish I in the bag, I can comprehend the conversation
thatīs supposed to be excuse or...? itīs like saying donīt compare K10īs TDP to Penrynīs because K10 is 65nm. itīs not AMDīs fault that Intelīs chipsets are done on 90nm.Quote:

If it's true then show me dual socket motherboard based on this chipset ....Quote:

Really looking forward to trying out this new chipset, using the steamy nNvidia 590 (Gigashyte POS) was very disappointing :down:
The platform AMD offers for Phenom looks absolutely awesome, but one can only hope the CPU will be worth the $.
:\
Always same guy wich comes to spam AMD thread.Quote:

No one speaks about X38 so no one says X38 has less features :shrug:
I'll believe it when I see it.
This is basically a ATi chipset with AMD's name on it (being as AMD never had their own chipset out for sockets 754/939).
Past chipsets such as RD580/RD600 were supposed to have low TDP and run amazingly cool, but neither did.
I think the RD600 was pretty cool, and the RD580 was even cooler if I remember correctly. It's not Ati's fault that DFI put on the worst heatsink ever.Quote:

Well 690G and 690GM is very popular chip7. Almost all AMD notebooks came with 690GM, and 1 milion 690G boards were sold.Quote:

Try raising the volts on an nforce based mobo and you will see how cool they run.
Please do not spread misinformation or add ridiculous nonsense to a decent thread. :shakes:
You see when you say "never" it makes people prove you wrong. Have you tried putting max volts through your chipset &/or volt modding it? There is always a way to send a chip over 40c.Quote:

Care to come and play with my RD600 board?Quote:

The fact the chipset takes 1.7v+ to do 450+ FSB 1:1 and 2v for around 500 (unlinked). Other chipsets can do that without even needing a voltage raise.
Read the ICFX3200 thread and pretty much everyone echos the same verdict.
nForce2, nForce3 250GB, nForce4 Ultra we're all the best chipsets for their platforms. I would imagine the upcoming chipsets from AMD/ATi will be more competitive since the take over.
I'm sorry that it upsets you that I'm cynical about new hardware, it's a well known fact everyone over hypes releases for hardware. I was sucked in by the RD600 hype.
Another point is the SB chips from ATi have always been under performers. SB480 was a joke, making motherboard companies chose ULi to pair with RD420/580 and it was promised that SB600 would be amazing. Yet the RAID performance of the chip is dire.
You jump for joy at a 10W chipset, only to then put a 150W cpu and 220W videocard in the system, right?
why running cooler make them sacrifice features?Quote:

Running sync (which was faster) took so much voltage, thats why it took me 1.7 pretty much to get that sort of FSB out of it.
ICFX was a nice tweaking board, but RD600 is the worst chipset out of 965/975/680i/P35. Slowest clock for clock because of the dual bus design to give full unlinkable memory, poor raid performance, seemed very fragile with the amount of dead boards.
It is expected to get hot when you crank volts into it ;)Quote:

It was hot at default voltages. My DangerDen block was on it fine though, even had ATi impressed into the copper when I removed the block.
I know RD600 uses SB600 - the raid performance was pap though. The only good raid performance figures I saw was 4 * 150GB raptor raid by Fugger. All the other benchmarks by members who owned the board showed it to be slower than ICH8.
User friendly performance and high performance are not always one and the sameQuote:
