Wow, that really looks like a nice board...
Does a HD3870X2 work on non AMD chipsets?:p:

Hey, littleBoy, where are you? We need more records and scores! :D
Dear 'aGeom'.
I think AOD only Support AMD's chipset.
This MOBO is NVIDIA's Chip. So 'Littleboy' can't test AOD.
I think this amazing record is not MOBO's abillity. I think Processor is very very very GOOD!.
Likewise as I have yet to see that stepping clocked on any other mobo too.
But only that CPU works same clock on AMD 790FX MOBO.(Littleboy is my friend.)
This CPU is handpicked sample(by AMD Korea).
CPU is very very Good.
I bought same stepping CPU seven times.(0811*6 0810*1) but all of them can't post over 3.0(200*15)Ghz.
So. This result is not MOBO's abillity.
With a little "hack", AOD works (more precisely: cpu fid works) with nVidia chipsets :up: The "hack" is found here in the forum. :yepp:
Edit: Hack is found here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...light=aod+hack
Nice!
HEY GUYS!!
After CrossHair2 Mobo return, I used two mobos.
Asus M3A32 MVP Deluxe.
DFI LANPARTY DK 790FX-M2RS.
Two mobos 3.3Ghz Above possible.
DFI 790FX - wprime v1.55

Littleboy, what´s the stepping of youre chip? Mine is an 0811 and seams to be worse then many 0810 i´ve seen... Great read BTW, will sell my 790FX board for an 780a know!
Dear getfeus
You are very polite by call me as "Dear aGeom", I'm not a formal person, you can call me just by my nickname or Paulo if you will.
Now, AOD as you can see in the following posts runs on NVidia chipset, I run it on an nforce 590a before, without hack ( http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...9&postcount=47 ).
Maybe you have it right, since Tony could clock his Phenom 9850BE@3500 on DFI 790FX, and I could not, with the 2 Phenom 9850BE I had on the "same" board. I didn't bought the Crosshair II, thinking that I can run the 9850BE @3500, I know my CPU limit, I just want to test the board and compare it with the ones I had/have, and also to check if the IDLE "bug" occurs in a different chipset than AMDs chipset.
Thanks.Be well...
Paulo
His chip might be handpicked but mine wasn't. I got the exact same stepping 0810 AMPW. Search through the 9850 X4's on hwbot and u'll c my results on air on the Gigabyte 790FX-DS5 (usernames Miskeh).
Now I'm hoping that the coldbug is more motherboard related as atm my chip refuses to boot with my frozen ss. Its a shame the crosshair II costs the same as a e8400 + p35
Likmak, is your phenom is oced ?
Yes, I'm running it at 2,5GHz, an overwelming overclock :D
