SuperPi performance has nothing to do with the chipset and everything to do with AMD CPU core and memory controller settings. With the same settings, the two chipsets should score exactly the same.

Based on the hardware that's on this board, it should be the best overclocking Socket 939 DFI motherboard out there by a good margin.

NF4 32M 3G is still faster than RD580 about 5~8 sec.

Thanks for the review Andre :)

BTW you could Grayskull ship a pair of X1900XTX to Andre for some 3d runs :D

And what's this?

HT Bus NMOS Drive Strenght
HT Bus PMOS Drive Strenght
HT Bus Receiver Impedance

Thanks again!

do bh-5 clock better on rd580?
do us a mini review ultra-d vs venus vs rd580 for all kinds of rams. what clocks better and where ))

Hows the Sb on this board working ...

Can you please test tha famouse G-Skill HZ 2x1GB DDR500 3-4-4-8 2.6v and see what the best overclock you can get, and if they pass Memtest86+ :fact:

My HZ in this Expert don´t pass 270Mhz.
If i try +271Mhz i get errors on test5, no meter what settings i use. No chance to pass 270Mhz.
Please try some HZ and let me know how they do :p: :explode2:

looks like an amazing board... FX60, two X1900XTX's and this mobo would be an excelent combo.

The best layout in terms of PCI-E and PCI slots I've seen yet.

I am puzzled as to why DFI doesn't come up with a less noisy chipset cooling solution :confused:

I'm not saying the results from Andre aren't impressive, but you can't use them to measure the usual or normal numbers everyone can get. He always has amazing dimms to test :)

I think BH-5 limit is the same on U-D, Venus and RD580. Because my BH5 limit still run 273~275 3.8V.

RD580 4Dimm is better than any DFI motherboard. 2 Dimm is close to NF4.

If you need to use ATI crossfire, you would be chosen the motherboard.

Well another board exists and it clocks just as good, actually a little better than shown with TCCD. ;)

looks a really promising board....but just can't help feel it's come way way too late for most ppl especially seeing how it's still a month away from retail.

i know my expert will be staying around until conroe hits ...unless she starts smoking processors :slap:

Venus vs RD580 . 4x512mb bh5 what do you think Venus win or?we wants to see 4x512mb bh5 ^^

Its looks like Venus is stronger if you didnt cool the sticks beter on the venus board.

I noticed the chipset was ULI, is this true?
ULI is finally making its way onto some higher end mobos?
I have asrock ULI mobo supposedly it has alot of improvements over NF4, all I noticed is IDE performance..

Sorry if this sounded noobish, Ive never ownd an ati mobo or crossfire mobo for that respect, so I wouldnt know anything about it, might have used ULI te whole time for all I know..

I don't see anything wrong with the current solution apart from the buggy SmartGuardian. My system (nf4 u) with SG: idle 40c 4000rpm / stress 41c 5800c. Without SG: idle 41c 2700rpm / stress 48c 3800rpm.

I also have a feeling that the new ATi CFX3200 chipset has a lower TDP value than nForce4. Feel free to correct me on this (didn't find anything solid with google). If DFI would use a passive chipset cooler then someone at XS would surely complain about that (and replace it with an active cooler) :) After all DFI is meant for enthusiats who don't settle for passive cooling ;)

nice board :cool: :slobber:

the monster has arrive

according to VR-Zone it will be launched the next Week

I sold one pair BH5. so I cannot use 4 Dimm BH5 compare with Venus.

But TCCD 4 Dimm is better than Venus and I will post WR 4 Dimm.

Northbridge Drive

NNOS and PMOS drive strength decided together the northbridge drive cpu ht bus Electric current intensity.

receiver impedance ---This option will determine the impedance control value of RD580 northbridge with it's HT bus singal.Increase the impedance control value will decrease the signal reflection of the RD580 chip ,,, Higher frequency and stronger CPU HT Bus Drive Strength require larger impedance value.

Set CPU to NB and NB to CPU driving strong .

So we need to set CPU HT bus Drive Strength and RD580 HT Bus NMOS/PMOS to Strong and 31/31.

Will this board make the ATI Certified motherboards list?

Can you check if there is in fact a real world performance increase using a four or five LDT as oposed to a three LDT with an Ultra - d

I am a 3d artist so for me real world is cinabench

There is no point spend to $180 when I can spend $110 and have my renders done in the same time

@elected
ati chipset is only 8W lol
its nice that dfi at least left the fan on nb

They could have removed that anoying hsf from the northbridge if it only generates 8W...

yeah i'd like to know too

it would be a world first if a motherboard's manual actually explained fully each setting in bios too hehe
