Got it WORKING!!! hooah :up:
It didn't like the CPUs I was using.... Have no idea why, but I don't care ATM....
Tried a A64 4100 and it popped to life!!!
Now, on to testing

OK. Been testing for the past 5 hours. This is TRULY a nice board without a doubt. I have my lame-oh 9950 in it and it will actually boot the blasted thing at 3.2 (x16). Neither the Asus M3A79-T nor the godforsaken Gigabyte 790GP-DS4H would do that. My 9950 sucks and has spastic cores on 3 and 4.
I've had very little problems testing it actually. It behaves the same every boot, unlike that which we do not speak (the Gigabyte ds4h, henceforth, the devil board). My Asus M3A78-T also behaves nicely as well (as does the awesome Asus 79-T).
Several things have already impressed me.
1) Hybrid Crossfire works, unlike the devil board.
2) ACC works, unlike the devil board.
3) The board boots the same every time, unlike the devil board
4) It has typos in the BIOS, like our friends at DFI, its charming
5) It will boot at 3.2Ghz (16x@1.45v) over and over again with my lame 9950
6) It is a clean design, simple, but has all the goodies
7) It is not the devil board
8) It is not slow, like the devil board
9) Jetway is a small company, and they still seem to be able to fix the BIOS...AND tell us what they did, unlike the devil board
10) The network adapter seems to always work, unlike the devil board
11) I need serious help :rofl:
For those that are interested. Total kit is Jetway HA07 Ultra, 9950 BE (140Watt), $9 cheapo coolmax power supply, Asus radeon 3450 in Hybrid Crossfire, 2 x 80GB seagate SATA1 drives in RAID 1, Thermalright K8 cooler (way too small, but cost 8 bucks at micro center on closeout), OCZ 2x1GB DDR2 1066 memory (ganged). If it survives the night on Everest torture test, I will replace the devil board with the Jetway and feed it with adult components, instead of the cheap junk I'm testing it with.
Anyway, I will continue to test and report
Now, i'm even more interested to this baby, you such a tease, nanohead ! :D
I'm might be doing the Deneb review on this board, it's nice. If only i could get someone at Jetway to send me a BIOS that oficially supports the CPU.
OK, now that looks COOL!! :up:Quote:

Nano, the devil board also has typos in bios "Voltage between the Northbridge and Sorthbridge" :rofl:
Is Sorthbridge in London? :ROTF:Quote:

Looking for feedback if anyone can offer, the prices on these boards are really good, s far leaning to Jetway or the ECS
Appears peeps like this Jetway and I just wanna get to 3.5-3.7

I ultimately had some problems with the board and returned it to Newegg. I would never say its a bad board, its actually quite nice. Performance was very good, and the quality is terrific. I had 2 bad firmware flashes, and the Jetway RMA process is neanderthal to say the least, and I just got turned off by the company (in the US at least), not the product. If they had a half decent RMA process, I would have kept trying.Quote:

The Asus is nice but too mcu for me to spend as I got a sealed 920 for 160 shipped so I wanna build the base cheap after selling off a dfi p35 t2rs and xeon 3220. Not sure how much of a gain I will see I just wann play with some new gear
Newegg has refurb Asus for $90 US, I got one a while back and it was brandy new! No regrets at all.... ECS is spotty (personal experience). Biostar has been quite good lately too on the affordable scaleQuote:

You should also consider foxconn a79a-s 790fx. Its about 180CAD from newegg.ca after 100 savings.
Cheers
Is that J&W 790GX ?:yepp:Quote:
