Foxconn 975 ab in da house. place bet!!

second thought.

while the board appears to be a dud, can you try something else?

test the voltages, watch them with some sort of hardware monitor if they have one, and just see what happens to the voltages, once you start running 32M or something similar.

since this is the first board I know of with a D-PWM, and we all know the DFI boards coming out are suppose to have D-PWM as well, maybe this board can atleast give us an idea of if this feature is good, or just something that saves alittle space.
the idea of the a D-PWM is that it provides solid stable voltages, to everything. so lets see if it works ;)

You may be right... This looks like the same bs we've seen in the all the original shipping bioses... :D

The big rush to market! :confused:

If thats not making the best of a bad situation I don't know what is!

can boot up@ 375x10 now, but need to find the tricks, thanks everyone
seems like if you don't set the vcore correctly, you need to reset bios and go all over again;)

Yeaaaa!!! Thats not to shabby at all.

yup, vcore +18%
but still not showing correct vcore value

**edit, also, it 's smart enough that it can't find if you are using mod bios, it will reset all the original options back to normal:eek:

I just got off the phone with Newegg and they voided my order without any problems, since it hadn't shipped out yet.

I KNEW I SHOULD HAVE WAITED.
:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

What a :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: mess...

I guess my only option now is to wait for DFI or get an Asus.

The order voiding was flawless; kudos for newegg for that. And no restocking fee since it wasn't packaged yet :)

The ONE time I chose NOT to do "rush processing" paid off, I guess.
I'll wait bit and see what happens with this board situation.

I did order a case elsewhere (Lian Li V777) and I'm keeping that order at least....

I think I like this work-together-and-stay-uptodate kind of thread. :D

OPB:

The modded BIOS (By Tony, I think?) and the newer BIOS from foxconn STILL won't let you adjust vcore ?

:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

nope, and once if you OC failed, it reset to original bios IIRC

I will recommand everyone get a 80 card so you can see what's wrong with no boot when system just lock there.
In this board, it usually stop@ 26 or 45

no, he is talking about divider

Sounds like this mobo is in desperate need of a BIOS update, that and its chipset limited for OC'ing. Damn shame, guess we'll have to wait for a RD600 board and/or mature NF5 mobo and see how those do.

Was hoping that this mobo would be the one but turns out it already has too many bios problems :(

Yes, Newegg said that I could just refuse shipment, and it would automaticly give me an RMA and refund me my $$.

rofl everyone got so pumped over this, few hours later everyone's cancelling orders haha

All the conroe boards are annoying atm, starting to really dislike the consistency of my p5wdh..

What is your opinion on the Asus P5WDG2-WS Pro?

I am going to get one instead of this POS board. It is only a shame that it has to cost so much.
