i couldnt get the memory @1333 without changing the oc so i test at 3 different dividers

this board is built for oc and hopefully the future bios updates will make it even stronger .i like this board so much i will purchase another one for my main rig

oc with dice was superstable no blue screens unless i did something stupid
mem clocking is strong on this board to it took my memory the highest and stable at the same time. theirs another beta bios in the works and ill be sure to test and check for improvements:up:

THANKS FOR THE UPDATES!!!

I can't afford it right now (I don't have an AM3 anyway :p:)
But man, I want this board... :up:

I'm assuming those runs were done on Phase/Dice, but killer clocks reguardless. Looks like it runs just as well in Ganged or Unganged which is sweet, kinda makes Ganged useless (which is not a bad thing :D)..
Your IMC speeds are just ROCKIN! ;)

Did you notice temps on the PWM section or do the "finger" test?
I had the MSI 790GX w/DrMos and killed the power section @ 1.55v's so that would be my one point of concern.

Hopefully by the time the 955's come out I'll have my tax problems behind me and this is the board I'm seriously considering!

ohh yes 1 more thing i was able to bench @ 4.8d but on the giga ud5p @4.6 but giga sent a new beta to test so i will fix htt clocking with cf and improve mem oc and north bridge oc

Its nice to see MSI getting back in the game w/out a bunch of screwy issues. Just hope its like this for the rest of e'm

temps were hardly warm but ill let u know if i kill something cause its going under ln2 for the weekend

and thanks

i thought i was tired but win7 finished installing real quick when oc'ed :Dso ill try to run wprime and pi in win7 dont be mad if i fall out my chair and cant finish :coffee:

Board looking good:up:

MSI, could you run W7 with 4.6Ghz and comparo with my Asus run with GTR?....

Nice! :up: Could you run the Everest's Cache and Memory bench?

I'm pretty sure I know my next board for sure :D

how is possible, better score in 1M with DDR3 1500MHz is better than 1800MHz and same timing....Uhhh?

bugged me out too all test run 3 times each

after long blood sweat and tears finally 1900mhz memtest stable

Internal subtimings table sets tighter values down low and results in what you see. Still working on getting a good balance from 1600 and up while retaining NB speeds. I am getting latency values around 38ns now at CAS5 1600, first time my little 720BE has come in with better latencies than my i920 at like clock speeds. ;)

btw this was done with d9gtr ram seems oc wall is higher with different ram wish to see what elpida can do

Very nice! I'm definitely grabbing a GD70 when I finish playing with the G65 :up:

sweet results MSIMAX........The NB is looking sweet at 3.6ghz any problems running it like that full time?? maybe 3.4ghz to be safe?? also what voltage on the NB? did you do any runs on air??

Obviously asking in a bias thread but but how does the Gigabytes FX offering compete with this?

Where can I download the BETA BIOS versions? :shrug:
