Remember you are ona comletly different memory controller, meaning different things will be the keys to high stable clocks.

Based on thw last MB I had the 6800 in. the ws-pro, the stable vcore seems to be more in line with the actual bios reads on both. The ws-pro over volted. I haven't found a "reliable" way to read the actual vcore in windows yet. (certainly not with ntune)
there is no way to know in windows, you have to use DMM...
overall at just overclockin, which is better, p5b or evga/stryker 680i?
are those MB that sent to reviewers for review belong to "ES" -- handpick sample so should perform well than retail? :p: this remind me of wat happened to Abit Mb :(
My max 1T stable memory frequency is 770MHz. :(
Well aside from Asus and DFI, dunno about Abit.. since the avail 680i boards are reference boards, im sure some new bios's will be out by the end of the week to bring the clocks up. I dont think Nvidia wants their best Intel chipset looking like crap, especially since the G80s are avail and they want SLI support on the fastest desktop chips. I think you guys will get your boards clocking high in few weeks.
Heres with BFG board aka NV reference board by Foxconn...

nice results there
Have any pics taken from the board?!....Quote:

Heres Foxconn reference board...Same as EVGA with a bunch of crooked caps like Pisa tower:D .Quote:

looks good m8 ;) Cant wait to get my hands on mine, sold my PW64WS PRO for this.
Asus Striker.... This E6600 CPU would not boot past 449FSB on the EVGA with p20 BIOS. This was the first boot on the Asus board with the same CPU. :D

Owww baby! :p: give us some pictures please!!! We want to see that rig!
500FSB+ wooooooot! :banana:
I need to tweak the memory now and start pushing the FSB. ;)

Bingo13,
Some questions for you.
How high can you get the FSB with a 9 multiplier?
Retail or ES?
Can you confirm max CPU voltage in bios, heard 1.6v and 1.9v
Thank You ahead of time.
Read his posts above he has gotten to 444FSB with x9 multi. But maybe CPu is holding him back. And its a retail board.Quote:

Hope that helps clear it up, sorry for the confusion.
Well Bingo...er..Bingo thats great!!! :D
ASUS striker FTW 680i??
Bingo is the man, i told him his adventures deserve a thread of their own :)
EVGA 680i with bios P19.
nTune (manually adj. for the mobo dont work)...the rest of nTune is OK.
8x multi up to 444.5 FSB is OK.
445 up to 465 No boot.
466.6 FSB everything OK.
I will try for more if my cpu can handle it.
@Phil
MEM @800 (UNLINKED) works fine 4-3-2-4 1T.
Awesome what are your memory timings? Is that an untweaked run?Quote:

Would anyone who has had decent results with a reference board be able to post the voltages they used for each component? I really don't know what the limits are for this board. Are you using stock cooling for everything but the CPU?
