With AMD buying ati, you think they'll shelve RD600? this isn't good as our choices in boards are limited to intel and nvidia.

When we installed our X6800 and started testing for maximum FSB overclocking we were treated with a 9x369 result that indicates our board is at is limits currently. Hopefully the next BIOS will reward us with higher overclocks, though we might simply discover that the FSB ceiling on our particular board is about 370 "
new review gigabyte dq6 : http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=6233 :)
Seems to me that the asus P5W DH Deluxe and gigabyte ds3 still are the master in fsb :rolleyes:
This one didn't screw me over, but another one did. They changed their BadAxe boards to show that they supported Core2Duo also... I just got mine, a 302 version.Quote:

It's out of stock now and the OP says the 1.03G revision boards should be out post July 20.
As far as I know, there isn't. newegg's site states they cannot check the boxes. Shortly after I made my BadAxe order someone posted a review stating they were still sending out the 302s so I emailed them to ask regardless of what their site said. I got a reply almost immediately stating they couldn't check the version numbers as they had no access to where the boxes were.
I asked them how they could tell if their motherboards were Core 2 Duo supported to update their website without being able to see the boxes, they didn't answer that question. =p Or the fact that they had other non-Core 2 Duo boards listed as supporting the CPU.
At least they are taking the mobo back for a full refund.
hey guys; anyone got this or any comments on how this overclocks:
MSI 975X Platinum PowerUp Edition Motherboard
apparently there was a thread with it and coolaler getting 433FSB on an unmodded mobo?
Just do a search on "msi 975x platinum" and you'll find 4 or 5 threads started by Coolaler using this board with Conroe and Kentsfield. From what I've seen, this board is what I want, I just can't seem to find any definitive answers on when it will be available. (only places I see taking preorders for it are ALL in Australia, one listed the 28th as an ETA)
any other mobo out there other than the dfi 590 and bad axe with 3 decent pci-e slots?
i wouldnt worry about the ati/amd situation right now...or in near future....think of it this way: every board that chooses ati instead of intel or nvidia chipset is a coin in the sack for amd/ati regardless that ppl buy an intel cpu....so they will still try to make the best for intel cpus....perhaps even harder now...in the future intel will most likely try to make obstructions for it, but its too late for the conroe now.

<<<< 7 AUGUST E6600 :confused: ??? >>>
I don`t get this . Hopefully this is only Micro Center
:(
how come E6300 comes later than c2d extreme...
Probably because Dell, HP, Compaq, Gateway, etc. :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: ed about not getting enough C2Ds even though they know they cant sell that many C2Ds.Quote:

Sorry, it kinda seems like the right thread, sorry if i'm wrong but should i go with the 975x or the P5W? If i got the name wrong then i'm sorry, i sometimes get confused with all of the motherboard names.
p5w dh if you want to overclock (the badaxe is good but requires mods)
975X is the chipset and P5W DH is the motherboard model. If you want a 975X chipset board then the P5W DH is about your best option for the moment.Quote:

945G Micro 775SE - mATX
I945G-M7 - mATX
945GZ Micro 775 - mATX
945P-A7A(8.0) - ATX
TForce P965 Deluxe - ATX (probably same as in the OP)
I got a feeling AMD will put a stop to this.Quote:

How would 945G performance be with Conroe, reasonable? I'm debating whether to:
1. Screw it, buy Antec Solo and DS3 and forget SFF
2. Buy a 945G MB in a week or two for cheap, and buy SFF case and build now. Then buy a "real" motherboard, possibly RD600 or 965G in a month or two.
Asus P5W DH Deluxe doing 500 mhz fsb, seems a "real" board to me :p: ( not so short :D )
WHY...that would be directly stupid for amd....now they can make a little money even on intels cpu sales...they just have to be among the best.....Quote:

"" One thing that didn't work out so well for this board is the included metal backplate, or the "Crazy Cool". Honestly, while I initially thought the idea for the "Crazy Cool" was great, I ended up being very frustrated by it. I spent a bit of time trying to gently remove it, and came to the conclusion that it is not really meant to be removed - which is very dissapointing on such an excellent overclockers board as it prevented me from using high end air coolers such as the Noctua NH-U 12 and the ThermalRight Ultra 120 "
edit : nice new article on anandtech about overclocking the e6300 and e6400
