Im getting a Tbred XP1800 this week, and im wondering, will i have access to all the lower multipliers with my KD7-E?
This is kinda important since i dont want to unlock my XP1600(unlocking parts are hard to get in Norway)

For what it's worth I had to unlock the 1800 Tbred on my AT7 Max2 but the 2400 was unlocked by the board.Quote:

The AT7 Max2 is also stable at 210 Mhz. 2 2 7 2 1T. See post elsewhere in this forum.

Tbred 1700+ is unlocked on it so i think all Tbreds will be unlocked.I am able to access all multis so 1700-2800 Tbreds should be unlocked.
Ok ill take your word for it SlimHitman :)
Looking forward to the weekend now, my XP1600 seem to top out at 1840mhz for 3DMark :( Guess ill have to get a water setup after christmas :D
In reply to:
"version 1.3 R9700 Pro "
This is a rumor, the revisions don't exist. I should know, I have gone through 4 cards and talked to numerous tech support people, including team leads. Ask any of them for a higher revision 9700 and they'll likley laugh at you.
Anyhow, for my second RMA my card was replaced with a card that didn't work. I was pretty upset about this, and talked to some high ups into getting a new card, believe me they were kissing my butt and if there had been a newer revision, I'm pretty sure they would have given in. Instead I was promised a brand new board off of the line.
Three days later, I recieved the new card. It would be a 1.0 by the "revision" standards on rage3d forums... but works peachy in my A7N8X and the "old" kd7. Also worked fine at 200+ FSB.
Anyway, all that this rumor is doing is promoting the returns of fully functional cards and costing a great company some serious wasted time and money. I could have been lied to by the ATI people, I don't work in the factory there, but I am pretty sure there isn't a revised chipset.. a new bios, maybe.
http://www.theoverclockingstore.co.uk/ will ship to Europe or N America. I used their silver conductive paint to unlock my 2400+.Quote:

Just in case you need it. :)
How bout it indeed?! :) I like mine :)Quote:

thanks, ill look into that :) Shipping things to Norway is a pain in the *ss though, it will prolly cost me as much in shipping as the product ill buy :rolleyes:Quote:

Maybe. :( But I often use www.komplett.co.uk (v. good prices) and they ship a lot of stuff from Norway! :D
Hey Sys, you forgot an H.
This will be my only post on this as I do not want to get the thread too far off topic. But, there have definitely been architectural changes to the R9700 over the last 2 months. As a system integrator, I have gone through quite a few of these cards (early as well as later manufactured cards), and I can tell you that the later cards (which all come with part numbers ended in 13 or 14 now) perform flawlessly compared to the 10 and 11 cards I was originally using.Quote:

A "true" revision...maybe...maybe not. I doubt ATI will ever say a word about it though as I'm sure they would not want to get stung with a bunch of unsold cards no one wants, or instantly RMAs before they even try it out.
BTW, there are now even quite a few retailers advertising the rev 1.3 cards. This is something I beleive ATI would put a stop to if it were not true. An example of a 1.3 for sale
Food for thought:)
I am happy with the KD7-E so far, thanks for the heads up
It seems the 1/5 divider is broke on my KD7E.It used to work fine but now if i turn it on my pc won't boot.It makes it to thru the video bios then gets a black screen freeze before the actual post and mem test.Tried the 1/5 at 166-200fsb and the same thing.Then i tried 175fsb with the 1/4 and that worked fine.
What happened?
is it worth do upgrade my KX7 modded with KD7-E ?
any oc improvment?
Well since your KX7 is modded I am asuming that it is V-modded than from what I've read that it only has the higher voltages stock. Since yours is already volt modded I doubt that it would be any better.

yes it's voltmodded.. v-core--v.dimm OVP... and this evening i mod the socket to unlock 2400+ cpu's
in fact it will be like a KD7-E apart from USB 2.0 (i don't need)
i would mind if it has more stability at very high fsb
I've had my kd7e up to 212/samsung ctl/max aggressive timings, think SlimHitman posted that his was up to 215 FSB??
I'm still sorting out the right combo of memory, settings, voltages and other components, when I bought the board my goal was to reach at least 220 FSB.
I don't think the board is proven to be as fast as the kx7, not yet anyway. The board is just too new to know what it's top FSB is.
I can say that the P4 connector appears to make this board the most voltage-stable AMD board I've ever owned out of kr7a, kx7 and kd7e.
Same impression as sjohnson, tho i havent tried any higher fsb than 191, and that was my XP1600 running at 2006 mhz :rolleyes:
Voltages are extremely stable. Actually overvolts my vcore and vmem by 0.01-0.03 volts :)
By voltage stable I mean that the +5 dip/+12 increase under CPU load is almost non-existant, as well as minimal voltage fluctuations across all rails. Nice for the 12 volt devices, I will likely trim my current +5.21 rail down to 5.1 or less since it dips by only about .02 under toast high priority loading (1600+ @200/9.5/2.00 Vcc).
Thats what i meant to. The added voltages are just a bonus. most likely its partially my PSU too, though.
Minimal voltage fluctuations under load, +5 is 5.11, +12 is 12.10.
this is with 2v cpu 3.15v mem.
I like this board :)
i've modded the KX7 but i can't oc with the 2400+ like before with 1700+ :mad:
can't raise fsb over 170 cas 2-4-2-5-2-1T.. i've gotten it to 210 with the AXP :rolleyes:
I've also noted the great stable voltages on this KD7-E...very nice.
I'm not sure if the mobo is really any faster than a KX7 though. So if you've already done the v mods, it may be very hard to justify the upgrade. The only other differences besides USB 2.0 are the CPU diode temp readings, 8x V-Link bus, and the ability to have access to all the multipliers on the Tbreds without unlocking them.
Whether or not these features are worth the upgrade price is up to you:)
Overall it has proven to be a very stable board which really overclocks well. For $90 it is a deal for those looking for an overclocking workhorse.
mdzcpa, how hot do your mosfets get? Mine get so hot I can't keep my finger on for long, so I have a couple fans blowing on them. Do you think the mosfets could be so hot because of my PS? I have a TTGI and I turned the pot so the 12v and 5v are 12.22v and 5.38v, I thought that might have something to do with it. Also I can tell no difference when using the ATX2 connector and not using it.
My mosfets also get pretty warm, but not hot. At least not to the point that I cannot keep my finger on them. Compared to my KX7 and KR7 they really seem about the same after a few hours of overclocked use. But I am only running a Vcore of 1.9v at this point. Running higher would probably make them get hotter.Quote:

Perhaps your PSU pot adjustments have something to do with yours being extremely warm...or your Vcore setting...not sure. However, many users have reported very warm mosfets on the regular KD7, so I would think the KD7-E to be the same. Keeping them cool as you are is certainly a good idea.
As far as the ATX2 connector, I can only tell the difference by running MBM and stressing the CPU with Prime95 over a few hours. If I go back and look under the HI and LO history, I find that my LO never dips as far as it does without the ATX2 connector plugged in.
Even though I like the features of this board, my memory performance has gone into a gradual decline.
Initially it worked up to 208 FSB easily with 2.75 Vdimm/fully aggressive settings and stable in Windows running Sandra memory bandwidth bench in burnin mode - as well as being able to run memtest-86 without errors. I was getting disk corruption above 208 but thought some burnin would straighten it all out. I reached a peak post/no boot FSB of 218.
After several days of burnin I'm now getting disk corruption above 200 FSB and cannot run windows/Sandra or memtest86 above 200 without errors unless I set Vdimm to 2.85. At 2.85 Vdimm I can't post above 212 with fully aggressive timings. Memtest-86 reports errors above 210/full aggressive memory timings and 212/full relaxed memory timings (a drop of 4 FSB in less than 24 hours). The reported errors are semi-random and not repeatable across runs. Errors are few at full aggressive but profuse at full relaxed.
Reseating the memory and trying different slots has met with no success.
Time to RMA this board :(
