Mad let us know how this compares to your Quad GT, because I think I may get the Abit instead based on availability.

thats a real bummer man, sad to hear it

quick question, does anyone notice any type of vdroop on this thing, i noticed a little of vdimm droop when loading but the vcore stays steady as a rock when a load is put on, everst or the dfi monitor dont change at all from idle to load

What the heck has happened to quality control? DOA, dead @ stock speeds, dead RAM. Are products not ever tested by manufacturers after assembly prior to shipping anymore? They used to be.

Usually u pinch the pushthrough tabs from the underside of board to make them pop out the top. Then use white spirit or alcohol based cleaner to remove previous thermal interface material and apply AS5 being aware that its electrically conductive. Artic alumina has almost the same thermal properties but is non-conductive, and u can get a bigger tube for less money.

For me, no need to touch vMCH & VTT for 500fsb.. :D
-> heatsink on chipset was warm, compared with P5B-Dlx..

Yep, something wrong with your time, it should be way better, at least 12.7 and lower even with 5-5-5.

This is a four layer board, any additional (undue) pressure around the CPU socket or flexing can kill the board. In fact, with a Tuniq 120 on it, just applying pressure on it slightly to flex the board will result in a brown out or power down, or in one instance a kill. ;) The board is also very sensitive to the power supply being used. Still, overall, this is a really good board for the price.

so very true and i have to pay tax at newegg. :(

guess i'll be ordering one soon as well. did you use the wizbunny code? if that doesn't work, going through froogle gets it down to $144.

hmm, I guess 1066strap isn't much different than other boards like ds3 and p5b then eh?

Or to speak, those other boards aren't exactly on 1333strap. It looks like this board shares the same internal latency change going above 400 from the looks of it.

Look at memory latency at 500fsb 1:1 in that pic. I get the same on p5b. Running 400 4:5 for 500, I get in the 40's.

ive got my cellshock in right now at 4-4-4-12 and it seems to be on par with my abit quadgt, infact they are about the same as far as speed goes, this one may be a little slower but not by much

the tim or whatever it is on the NB is actually some of the hardest ive ever had to remove, kind of a pain but got it off

update also, i am pulling 12.719 for 1M pi runs with 500fsb now, i used the settings that mascaras showed us in his thread and it works really well,

You guys can drop whole "which board is faster thing," its practically 100% dependent on the MC which the DFI obviously shares with every other i965P board out there.

The DFI's strengths are clearly its price and voltage options. The P5B has the bells and whistles. Make a decision based on that and not on pi scores...

dont forget DFI have 5 (five) RAM MODES and 24 Ram settings you have to try them all to find the best config to SPi1M

Btw:
my friend on Asus P5B deluxe its even faster

Raja@ASUS

in the case of 32m, there's a whole host of 'tweaks' people use, hard to compare apples and apples when one does not know for sure how many of the tweaks have been applied or if any at all on some runs. Copy waza, maxmem, 2003 to name but a few legal ones, and that's not considering the use of other 'special' programs that are being used here and there by people. That being said depends if you buy your boards just for 32m, it's a nice bench, but I would not make a purchasing decision based upon that alone.

All of yous are having great success but my mobo seems worse then my infinity 975x. I used run that board 9x400 mem@500 4-4-4-12 prime stable for 10 hours. But with this thing i cant even do it for 10 mintutes. :(

are you guyz buying mobo based on who has better pi or because of overall benefit?

i bought this motherboard because it can help me achieve extra 100mhz on my e6400 @ 3620 with the same voltages of my Asus p5W @ 3480. so i think it wroth it.
04-20-2007, 02:06 PM
MADMAX22

man not at all, i just want a mobo that can run ram fast as it can (or atleast is rated for) and i want to be able to use a multi and high fsb with my 6600, ever since my p5b-d died i have not had that, the quadgt is a great board but couldnt oc ram

so i got this guy which has everything i need for $145 so

and running pi and stuff is fun anyways

I consider myself a pc enthusiast that likes leading edge cost conservative technology. I have a couple of E6400's & one does 4 ghz easily on air with 1.58v@ load. The only board I could easily achieve this on was the p5b deluxe. Every other board I have either won't reach 500FSB or is unstable when getting their. Others seem to be reaching 500FSB with little to no increase northbridge voltage. It also appears to be a stable 500 FSB, & not just for Pi runs. This board may succeed where the Rd600 failed & help me max out my E6400.

P.S. my order from eWiz has already shipped:)

I would like to see some pics of how that would look, seems like too many are un-necessary though. Do you really need those giant heat sinks on your memory? most good sets of memory already have the heat shields and if you were to remove them you would void the warranty. If you left the shields on then the heat sink wouldn't be effective at all?

Yes, its a Zeus but as another poster has replied, his was doing the same funky hyper flash and beeping until he changed the PSU. Im sending the board back. Ill try one more and see what happens.

Seems to be a compatibility issue with the Silverstones for some reason.

Seems to be a compatibility issue with the Silverstones for some reason.

DFI NF4s had issues with Zippy's

this board seems to have issues witht he Zeus/Strider

I have a Zeus 750W and I hope it wont have issues with this board - it's an excellent psu. I will test asap, but the graphic card is delayed until 5 may and, I dont have a pci or pcci-e vidcard to test everything before that.

I have a PC Power Cooling 510W SLI-ReadY PSU, but i also tested with my OCZ Powerstream 520W PSU, both does not work. When i press the Power Button there was no sign of anything, then 3 secs later the power led blinks, and it turn off immediatly.

Perhaps you guys can try these psu's with less load? Maybe one hard drive & video card only (possibly low end). I't seems the power connection to the motherboard for the cpu is sharing a rail. Your boards are behaving the same way as if the cpu power connector was not plugged.

I Dont have anything lower than a 7900GT, so im screwed there. This really sucks. Maybe a bios update can solve this problem? All i have hooked up to this point is video, 1 hd and thats it.

I am pretty sure the squeezing sounds were come out of the capacitors, but i am going to request an RMA.

Well this is just great.. Mine supposedly gets here tomorrow and I have a Zeus 750.
I hope it's not an issue.
Thanks you all for the "heads up". Now I'll test it out before I in-case it.

For those people looking for the board it has been listed at Atacom and does not say in or out of stock so I took a chance and ordered on Sunday. They called me to let me know thats it out till the middle of may. So don't place any orders there. They really should list its status like most of the other stores but o well. So I ordered all the other parts today lol....If I can't find one by tonight then its a Quad GT for me. I would be happy with either one in any event.

Sorry to hear your frustration bro, I went through the DFI shuffle in the beginning. I can't begin to imagine the amount of email they're receiving w/ all of use letting our buds know about this hot board.

Here's the orthos shot to back up my previous...

Its great that you'll test it before I am able to test mine :)
So I can decide if I have to replace PSU or not.

Using mine with a E6400, 7900GS and 4 hard drives using HEC 460W PSU. Seems stable for me so far at 8*400Mhz

Does the Enermax liberty 500w work well with this board?

Not listed here but then it might just not be tested yet:

ive got a Zeus and the other guy has a Strider. Neither seemed to work. Looks like a compatibility issue to me and i dont see DFI doing a damn thing about it. They didnt with the AMD NF4 SLI LP and Zippy's.

Has anyone who is having problems with their psu hooked up the extra power connection on the mobo? There is a header on the board that takes the same connector as the fdd.

I found this out, I RTFM!!!:fact:

Maybe before everyone is crying fowl on DFI, someone can try this.

ztop, those temps are kinda hot even at 1.40v and with a Scythe. Mine's doing 60C too but stock cooler and lapped IHS. VCore's about 1.42v for my setup

Hicks121: Yeah, that connector is important. Before plugging it in, even at 1.45v couldn't get it to be stable at 3.2Ghz but now with the connector in, I can achieve the same clocks with lower voltages

Well curiousity got the best of me and I set up my board with my Zeus 750.
It booted up and I'm in the bios.
So I guess I don't have a problem,,, yet. :)
What I would like to know is, where are the contact points to measure the voltages? My 12 rail is 11.77 at idle with just my 8800gtx on the board.

I'm sitting on a strider 750w w/ a 965-s. When my 6420 gets here tomorrow I'll make sure to take note of any problems..both with and without the 4pin power connection.

Well I have not hooked my board up yet, but will be getting to that this weekend & see how this baby clocks. My P5B-D would run my 6300 @ 535fsb stable, but its kinda warm so 500 is my #.
