You think the chipset is very hot ?:confused:

komonova means C

look at the screenshot's 58-67-73C Chipset Temperature.. :confused:

Power consumption has nothing to do with chipset temperature. There are much more components on board, not just socket and chipset.

i think it has something do do with it, but its not the full story.
look at the 680sli - high power consumption and hot temperatures.
i think its the same with nf4, e.g.
but regarding the price which will be around 250€, dfi could have installed a better chipset cooler, something semiactive like asus did it on the p5w dh which is even cheaper:slapass:
seems to bee a good board with an insane bios for an insane price

MSRP is $220... thats not too high for a breand new board IMO. Especially with a featureset like this one.

not only that, the chipset is brand spanking new as well, im sure the price will go down in a while.

these are some good news, you got a source?
220$ would be something around 175€ - i doubt the baoard woill be that cheap here but... it would bei nice:rolleyes:

What i mean is that in my case it performs the same as my P5B deluxe at 450x8 1:1.

But, with this board you can run 450x8 and have the DDR at 600MHZ. Something i cannot even touch on the P5b. So you can get more performance out of it that way.

True but Xtreme cooling + non XE cpu desperately needs > 550 fsb :)

Then stay on P5B. Why invest in LN2 is you cant afford a high multi cpu?

This thing with mods should hit 530 or so, thats not so bad at all... only e6300 users need to worry, but even so 500fsb is 3.6ghz...

I've given up on trying to discuss the value of this board's 511FSB & memory clocking potenitial. I rather hope people pass on it. It increase's my chances of getting one the first week they come out.:)

I bench only DI which is rather cheap :)

As for LN2/DI and lower multi cpus, it is not just money, it's fun getting lower binned cpus higher than XE :)

Well if its all about FSB to you then obviously 965 is your only choice, no other chipset even has a chance at seeing 600mhz.

Looks awesome indeed. Kinda makes me wanna get back into benching.

funny to see an ATi/AMD chipset with an Intel CPU, especially on the box.

sorry about previous post - my bad :slap:
made some conclusions based upon power consumption without knowing subject (2x :slap: )

but what about that high temperature - 73C :eek: it's just a bad stock cooling for chip or some deeper issues?

If I get this mobo 1st change will be Swiftech MCX159 Northbridge Cooler
plan using above with Thermalright Ultra 120 & 38mm Fan

Think that will help improve cooling.

it's 3.5GHz on an e6300

Pictures of board’s detail.

The lab test system details
CPU: INTEL Core 2 Extreme X6800
MB: DFI LANParty UT ICFX3200 T2R/G
DRAM:CORSAIR Dominator TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF
VGA:Nvidia 8800GTX
HD:Seagate 7200.10 320GB
POWER:Corsair HX620W Modular Power Supply
Cooler:TT Sonic Tower

http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/1804/icfx320014gk0.jpg

Used X6800 series multiplier crack, can keep the processor uprise even
after x11.

http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/2002/rd60013xqa1.png

8800GTX the default 576/900 MHz
3DMark2003
In an environment likes 680i, it runs 10% lower

http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/2692/rd6002003hz7.png

3DMark2005
In an environment likes 680i, RD600 runs almost the same to it.

http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/6407/rd6002005aj6.png

3DMark2006
In an environment likes 680i, RD600 runs almost the same to it.

http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/9113/rd6002006qm8.png

About the 3D rendering, RD600’s performance is quite good. It equipped with
the highest model of NVIDIA~8800GTX. Only 3DMark2003 was performed so-
so. The result of other 2 like: 05/ 06, were the same to NVIDIA’s 680i. Hope
that NVIDIA has a better driver of 8800GTX for RD600 to improve the
performance in 3DMark03.

FSB part:
Not long ago, the highest FSB of Intel platform that I tested is
ASUS P5B-Deluxe

My first X6800, which tested with P5B-Deluxe, was worked steady
at highest FSB497. But the result of DFI’s RD600, worked steady at FSB520.

http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/3653/rd600520cd6.png

My second CPU, E6300 gained highest FSB470 and worked steady
(no matter how high the voltage I increase).
The highest FSB of RD600 is 485. This’s worked steady too.
(the same E6300, also no matter how hard I increase the voltage,
it just can’t push the FSB a little higher.
I think it must about the physical limitation of CPU itself)

http://img66.imageshack.us/img66/14/rd600e63fd2.png

At last, the DDRII settings of RD600 are totally free for user to adjust.
Not necessary to accord with the FSB ratio.
CPU:500X7=>3500Mhz
DRAM: DDRII 1200 CL4 4-4-9 2T
(rest of some minor parameters are so tight)

2.35V, a single Super PI 32M finished

http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/7...1200pistl2.png

2.38V double Super PI 32M finished

Although, I’m not test this board very detail.
But I’d like to make a initial comments of 1st part test.

DFI LANParty UT ICFX3200 T2R/G
Merits
1.BIOS options and settings are various and comprehensive

2.Built-in total 8 x SATAII ports and the 3rd PCIe~ physics card,
expansibility is really high

3.The performance of FSB is excellent; almost can compares to Intel’s chipset.

4.Memory adopts an “open-structure” for users to tweak.
You can tweak how fast you want the DDRII to be.
Not limited by CPU FSB ratio anymore.

5.The board adopts some good features like: 6-phrase digital PWM,
Dual gigabit LAN, Debug light and on board power/ reset buttons.
Rich features!

Things need to be improved:
1.Price of RD600 is as high as 680i, hope there will be a new cheaper version
that built without Promise RAID chip.

2.If the in-box bundles and package can be improve next time, it’ll be great.

3.The north bridge and areas around should have a better cooling solution,
especially when FSB overclocked more than 500.

4.The BIOS sometimes show a incorrect clocking, when FSB is overclocked.

Although, RD600 is the last chipset that ATI designs for Intel platform.
But DFI still tried their best to make it perfect as a LANParty series product.
A highest FSB and the high “tweak-ability” of memory settings are the
biggest merit of the board’s itself. Moreover, some of the setting and
performance are even better than 965/ 975 and 680i chipset.
If some minors issue that I mentioned about can be improved, I think
LANParty ICFX3200-T2R is the best choice of all Intel platforms.

windwithme will test two in-coming products:

Performance and Overclock
7900GS Phoenix version

The mid-range motherboards of Intel’s platform
