Looks like June will be the months for these and MVP, it seems. The Inq says the R520s been delayed for these boards, we better be getting something other than the warm summer breeze this June/July :mad:Quote:

too much waiting imo - everyone is jumping on the DFI wagon
results of the Shuttle board?
Politnessman any results yet, on the SFF? I really wanna get something sff soon.
yes, got them both the other day with a 3500 venice from newegg. put them together real quick last night and didnt boot. put in a 3500 winny and booted right up. needed new bios that supports venice. flashed, put venice back in and booted right into windows on an old install using nforce drivers! uninstalled nforce and installed ati stuff. no monitoring software included but the aspire case has a couple of temp probes that maybe i can do something with. love this board! has some oc options BUT VDIMM TO ONLY 2.7v. i am running 2x256mb corsair pc3500 rev 1.1 bh5 and running ok. but if you are going to bump it up i would say definitely use tccd.
board has 4x sata (sata2?) slots on a native controller. manual sux. vcore to 1.55v. multis, htt from 200-250mhz. ldt from 1x to 5x no .5. many raid options across sata/pata but NO FLOPPY OR IMAGE ON CD INCLUDED THAT WOULD LET YOU INSTALL WINDOWS WITH SATA RAID(F6). will call ecs tech support.
btw check out ecs web site- they have a converter that will let you run, on a socket 775 board, either a dothan, turion, or socket 754 amd!!!
really like this board and will put in some g.skill and oc a bit, post some benchies/screenies.
aspire case great too. does not have the blue windows shown in advertising. does not come with a manual, but one on web site. i am using a liteon dvd/r/ drive, which is very short, leaving me space to put in a larger power supply.
but included one, 420w/13 amp on 12v rail doing ok so far (little light on 12v rail but 5v and 3.3v ok) running 2x 80g pata jb, dvd/r, 120mm fan, 70mm fan, couple ccfl and an evga 6600gt. i am using a tt venus 12 hs but low clearance forced me to take off 80mm fan and substitute a 70mm from amd retail hs/f. this is a not really that tall hs/f but i will look around for a shorter one that i can use a 25mm tall fan on. looks to be decent clearance on mainboard for hs/f, but forget about xp90s and the like in this case. psu has exhaust fan, and the 120mm exhaust fan is right next to it, but no intake fan. i am thinking about turning the 120mm around, and cutting blowhole in one or more of the windows for exhaust. right now, as configured, runs 11x220mhz @ 1.5 vcore, temps around 45c idle, very quiet.
case is much nicer than i thought with a lot more room than i thought.
board is much nicer than i thought with better bios than i thought and great features. cant be beat for $82. has built in x300 grafix, but i like games so using the 6600gt for now.
i will yank board out tomorrow, attach better psu, better hs/f better ram, put in the x850xt and run some benchies outside the case. cant now, my kid came home and copied over 5 or ten thousand mp3s, ripped the bootleg revenge dvd we picked up today and hauled ash with the box. will post pics tomorrow also.
if you can get one, get this board (newegg not carrying anymore) if you can get this case (newegg out, got mine from xoxide) get one.

To bad you had to ge the ECS, I would expect those kinds of limits or probs from them. Here is a MSI version of the ATI 200express RS480 mATX for $89. Could you post some pics of your setup politenessman? I am planning to build a Aspire 939 SFF for my office. What did you sau was the highest v-dimm on that board? I have a gig of value VX that needs high v-dimm to get to 250-260.
then forget it man. highest vdimm THIS BIOS is 2.7v maybe better in the future. have had really bad luck with msi, have really cheesy feel. just me i guess. chose the ecs over the msi in spite of bios because of ecs great quality. out of 50-60 cheap pcs i built using ecs, not one ever had hardware problem, versus the dozens of abits, gigabytes and msi back for service. just my experience. i did not mean to imply i had any probs with the board. stoked right up, overclocks both my 3500 winny and rev e, runs reasonably cool even with passive (but giant) heat sink on northbridge. no compatiblility issues with pqi turbo 512mb x2 (tccd), corsair bh5 or g.skill pc4800 la (tccd)
bh5 craps out at 220mhz at the low vdimm. this is in sff case, not using it to break any records. with the pqi turbo, at 1.55vcore the winny does 11x240 with reasonable temps, took out the rev e ecause it overclocks for absolute shiz. so this sff, with 1gb tccd, wd 80g x2 raid 0, x850xt connect3d oem i just ordered, hauppage pvr500 will do it for me, at least for the next few weeks when i will swap out the winny for dual core. that will be an ok sff.

ps trying to borrow a cam, left my camedia on the table with strap hanging down and my cat, tennisball head, grabbed it, pulled it off and the lens got bashed back into the camera. i may have to use web cam, but thats the way it goes.
What's your max HTT possible? Hows performance?
still in the box, with not too good hs/f. soon as i can get it away from my kid, i will yank mainboard, put on xp90, put in g.skill la, put in x850xt and run some benchies. right now, with 3500 winny @ 1.5 vcore, not too good hs/f,
bh5 ram, it is running @240x11. htt only goes from 200-250 in bios. no prob running 5x ldt @ 240mhz. when my kid gets tired of showing it off and watching revenge on it, i will swap out the hardware and bench it outside the box.
as far as i can tell, performance is nice. far cry and hl2 running great with 6600gt. no monitoring software came with board so i cant know temps while running. i will do the above as soon as i can.
very truly yours,
politenessman
240 fsb is very good for as far as Im concerned. sheesh some mushy red pc3200 and a SD 4000+ @240 x12 would be just great for a lan rig IMO . my rigs are wc'ed so .... Im sure I get a 4000+ to that, on it. wow now if they just made one with sli Id be in heaven. and did i read right your getting it to run 5x on htt at 240?? thats really great
yea thats right 240 x5. no prob. hopefully board will get a little more distribution and some folks can open up the bios a bit and maybe a voltage mod or 2.
very truly yours,
politenessman
first problems - board not liking pqi turbo 512mbx2. blue screens. no posts, etc. strangest thing, sticks of pqi turbo were much much hotter to the touch when i took them off the board than they ever were on ultra d, even at much higher vdimm. bh5 back in, 230x11, cas 2, 2.7v vdimm. still have not done clean install. will get that done and other stuff in a day or 2. can anyone recommend decent, short hs/f good for mild oc on 3500 winny? venice back on ultra d for now. thanx.
very truly yours,
politenessman
I'm in the waiting boat too. My current system is a Barton XP2500 and a gf3ti200. All that stuff is going become a storage server.
Waiting for Dual core, waiting for a system that can handle 2-4Gb properly and waiting for a PCI-E graphics card (R520).
The two reasons I will buy this machine are for Java development and for playing BF2.. currently I have one reason, the next is due about July time.
I really hope this mobo will support AMR/MVP... otherwise ATI has made a big marketing mistake.
Did they ever market it as AMR board ?
what ever happened to this board? :confused:
its been 2 months...
i dont think its coming out...
i think it was a publicity thing and they are going to hold it back waiting for AMR chipset, unfortunatly...
of course id love to be wrong, ive been putting off my 939 rig since the day this board was announced, but that DFI looks better every day.
yeah, My new 939 build is coming up at the end of June now, which gives them even more tiem to get this thing out to the public, but its just not gonna happen. I'm just gonna wind up getting a DFI(which is not a bad thing, perse ;)) and ATi will lose yet another sale of this board due to terrible timing.
Oh well.
Why are we waiting??
Man, this thread got so many ppl going... Especially the ATI & NVIDIA Fanboyism...
Finally a product from ATI that was in the same league as Nvidia that didn't have anything to do with GPUs...
Oh well, guess I'll have to stick with my DFI NF4 SLI-D while I wait that bit longer for this board to finally show up in retail... If at all...
Wait a sec... It's available!!! You too can get the "RADEON Xpress 200" board in stores right now...
As much Vcore & vDimm as you want as long as it's no higher than 1.6v/2.8v... MSI have them... ECS have them... Sapphire are still gonna release them... When the NF6 (dreams) comes out we will be able to get our hands on an ATI Xpress 200 mainboard with anything similar to the options shown to us by Sapphire...
/Rant Mode Off...
Minnyboy
P.S. As is always the case these days... Something special shows up, gets everyone going & fades like the wind before you know it...
Anyone remember how easy it was to get an X800XT PE 2 months after it was released??... Even now it's still hard to get a hold of an X800XT PE let alone an X850XT PE... Goodnight
No, the board that WE want, is not available. If you knew what you were ranting about, you would know the MSI and ECS dont offer enough, or any of the options that we are wanting.Quote:

Dang bros, thats some overclockin' voltage options fo shooooe! :cheer: :cheer: :down:
lol, thorw in some UTT and see how well that works. Granted, TCCD would work to an extent, but I dont eve know if those boards have unlocked multis, locked PCIe lanes, detailed memory timings, etc.
needless to say, the MSI Xpress200 board is NOT what we are looking for...
hahaha :toast:Quote:
