I say this with all sincerity I stand by D.F.I LanParty as being the best motherboard period Intel/AMD:yepp:

BIOS with Errata for Phenom and an option to DISABLE it :up:

Gigabyte need to take few lessons from fellow guys at DFI :D !

I thought GB added an option in their last release to disable the fix?


How must i change the nb-multi in the BIOS? It looks like this -> link

In windows AOD says "9x". But that number doesn't match with any BIOS setting. ???

Win Flash...but doing it now from stiffy, will that be the prob

Anyone got a spare LANPARTY UT 790FX-M2R they can send me :yepp: :D

thnx

Brother, this is something you'll need to get used to, unfortunately.
This is the sound of electronic coils that are "weeping" when current is passing trough them. Manufacturers are using shielded coils to prevent this annoying effect, but DFI (Sapphire) opted to place two big ones by the DIMM's, and they' didn't used shielded :shakes:
When you have silent machine, no additional fans, you can clearly hear this sound, and for people like you and me this sound is nerve eater!:mad:

I don't hear it man not even on the crappy first board....thats Gospel Truth;)

Ok Ok...... lets see a 9600 Unlocked CPU hit 3.6ghz on this mobo 24/7 Orthos Primed for at least 12-18 hrs and if it does i will be impressed.

Wishful thinking:rofl:

Well maybe, but if no Phenom can ever do 3.6ghz stable then i will go with Intel.... :)

By the way Brother Esau your B-day is the same day as mine, but your one year older, but does not make you smarter.... :)

Intel is the smart way to go... :)

What's with these Intel trools!? You can't have any thread with out them! And this thread hasn't got anything to do with Intel!!

Ummmmmmmmm...............OK:rolleyes: Happy Birthday man:)

You will not see 3.6ghz on Phenom not for a while:( But both platforms have there ups and downs Intel right now has the computational Power and Overclocking Head Room but has that pesky High Latency thing going on.

For the Overclocker other than preference AMD brings nothing to the table!


Thats about being as honest and realistic as it gets but..........AMD.....is not that far behind with even there outdated Revamped AM2 6400+ JUST LOOK AT Encoding results I posted in my thread between the 6400+ BE and Q6600 G0 stock Clocks AMD BEATS Intel Quad Core! 3500MHZ 6400+ Vs Q6600 @ 3.55GHZ OGG Intel wins by 22 Seconds theres not that much of a difference man!

What do you think about the latest R7LDC11 BIOS?

Beware of the earlier 4.0x.xxx version Everests if you have this board!! It simply killed my Phenom 9500 CPU when I started it accidentally. :shakes: Now I'm using my spare Sempron 2800+ and I'm waiting for RMA. :(

Earlier version of the program Everest killed your Phenom?
Am I missing something?

What are you missing?

It's already a known issue by the Everest's developers. The earlier Everests crash some new/modern DFI boards during the SMBus scan, because they have a different voltage regulator.

Now when I start the 4.00.976 Everest, it shuts down my computer, and after that I have to switch off and on my PSU because it can't start until that. :eek:

Hmmmmm

No, I did not know that, I don't even know what "old" version of Everest I have, but it's old!!
Luckily I'm still using an Ultra-D, and it's so old it doesn't bother it!!

Thanks

Hi y'all

Has anyone experienced a problem with the dual gigabit ports where one port, during a rather prolonged download (nero update), the port just appears to stop working?

This happened to me a few minutes ago. The cable is fine, and there is nothing wrong with the ports on the ADSL router. I switched ports leaving the cable plugged into the PC, but no joi. I then left the cable in the original port on the Router, but changed the network on the PC et voila! All was working again. That suggests the problem is the with the PC network port.
This happened after I had downloaded about 180MB of the 322MB update.
Anyone experience anything similar?

I must admit, this DFI board is proving to be a bit of a pain in the butt.

NO! Do you have the teaming utility drivers installed?

i'm not sure. I just installed all the drivers as was required, but i dont recall specifically installing the teaming driver. how to check?

Hi guys, anyone knows if Sapphire PURE CROSSFIRE 790FX LANPARTY has the same bios of DFI "original" :D Lanparty?

There's no chance to find DFI 790FX boards in Italy, but Sapphire 790FX is easy...

Will next Oscar bios work? :D



ps.
R7LDC11 is good?

Bro Esau, how does your Christmas Gift from DFI working? ;)
