Yeah but this is a referenceboard, couple that with DFI and we will be seeing those clocks in the rearview mirror.Quote:

The caps close to the CPU socket are too close and too tall on existing design, this needs to be changed before release. Hopefuly DFI and other mfg's will make corrections.
Very strong board with stable power. The vdimm goes up to 2.5v
ASM is a nice util that gives you a bit more control that anyone here is used to. Some stuff I have not yet figured out. I do think there is a way to adjust memory timing in ASM but it may not be fully functional yet.
Overclocking the PCIE resulted in no stability problems at max setting, normally on Intel I would have problems around 115Mhz.
Onboard RAID is very strong. HDTach with dual RaptorX drives would pull around 120MB/s on the Intel boards and 160MB/s + on the ATI board.
I have not played with dongle-less CF yet.
HDMI is built in
As pointed out early in this thread, the x factor of Macci@ATI.
looking like a very actractive board ,any vcore optoins for the conroe? wonder if this mb can run with 2x 7900 gtx?
sweat! i only wish it was nvidia so i could run 2 7900gts:( but what ever i want to see how the 590 sli clocks with conroe! then i will buy.
The reference board is only 4 layers. With a 6 layer board, signal integrity and power delivery is better and overclocking will improve further.

Documents containing ATI lab testings on "Conroe" overclocking and performance surface
A non-confidential document of Conroe benchmarks on Intel and ATI motherboards surfaced earlier this week. RD600, which we reported on DailyTech yesterday, was the primary motherboard featured in the testing, but ATI also featured an Intel 975X motherboard for comparison.
The slides contain benchmarks for 3DMark2001SE, 3DMark03, 3DMark05, 3DMark06, Fear 1.03, FarCry and Everest 2.80. Unfortunately, these benchmarks are for the most part GPU bound, but what is most interesting about these slides is the overclocking. The benchmarks include the testing of a Core E6300 (1.86GHz 1066FSB) processor running at 2.4GHz with a 1372MHz front side bus.
Intel will lift a general embargo about Conroe on June 4th, 2006, and the company roadmaps have detailed CPU pricing for July 23, 2006.

I hope this board will have better support and less problems than the RDX200...
hi grayskull , kan you tell us if we kan get the vapo ls to fit on this mb? as the caps round the cpu are quite close ,Quote:

nforce 4 SLi Intel edition did it for a long time.Quote:

ls is no problem om p5wd2-e ,i have it running no problem ,just seems closer on the ati board .Quote:

And from what i read somewhere (can't find the link), you can actually use a X1xxx series card in the third PCIe slot for physics processsing.
Shoot me down in flames if i'm wrong, but :slobber:
There was someone who mentioned using a X1600 as the physics and two X1900's in CF for graphics...or maybe I just dreamt that up last nite...:nuts:
RD600 > i975x or is it to early to tell?
Kinda ugly lol, just hope a 7900GT will agree with it.
nothing new about this board. cuz im Anxiously waiting for updates on this board
Wow, i really hope the price is that low. When will these boards hit retailers (newegg prefered), end of june, beginnin july?Quote:
The RD600 will be made on a 90nm process which allows it to run cool and consume less power. ATI has several other chipsets on the way as well. ATI RD600 motherboards are expected to retail for approximately $150 according to internal documents
Exactly. From your mouth to the mobo manufacturer's ears!Quote:

Subscribed!
Is it out yet?
No sign of it in Scandinavia ;)
No1 has a clue when its gonna be out :(.
Hopefully sometime in August!
I think I have read September somewhere but that could very well be wrong...I hope to god it is cause my birthday is August 5 - just in time for Conroe :D.Quote:

Wait I'm Really Lost Why this board is so amazing
-It only has 8x/8x pci-e slots?
-Max FSB of 375?
Will someone explain why its so great?
I understand the whole DDR1066 memory, not memory dependant overclocking, automatic graphics card overclock
Sry for such a n00b question
Also whats a good motherboard that is going to be like $150ish to use until this sucker comes out!
