Question for you guys already runnig this board. Can you run crossfire graphics (both at x8 I know) in slots 2 and 4? I have an Areca 1230 on the way which runs at x8 and I wanna use it and crossfire. The only way it will work is if I use the 8,8,4,8 config with the Areca in slot 1, the master x1900 in slot 2, the slave x1900 in slot 4 and my Xfi in the bottom PCI slot.
Or will I have to go to one graphics card? I which case is it best to go for a Nvidia 7950x2 ?
mine tooQuote:

Areca seem to think there would be negligible performance difference between using a 8x or a 4x slot - and it will work in the 4x speed slot. Using the Areca in slot 1 will leave very little room between your two graphics cards (assuming they're double slot), something to bear in mind.
How high can you go with 1:1 divider?Quote:

The MCH is watercooled and slightly overvolted, 1.86V.

Crappy 975X made in Costa Rica :( ;)
All of the previous 975X chips have been made in Malaysia.

for spi 1m i was at 510, but I am quite sure that rams were the problem, at the moment i don't have rams that would be able to followQuote:

cpuz validation
respect,zbogorgon!that was with vmod or without?
543fsb on 975X, wow now this is freaking...
Here we go:)...The fun part with high Mhz and high FSB (with this board)..
Awesome run there Stilt and Zbogorgon:toast:
Do all the memory dividers work on this board ? Im thinking of replacing my DH with it.
I haven't even played with my P5WDG2 WS yet! It's still in the freakin' box.
More stuff to buy...
Is this board lookin _that_ much better than the rest of 'em? What am I saying. Let me rephrase, is this board lookin' to be the best of 'em?
EDIT: Plz excuse the noob for not reading the whole thread before he posts (me). Ordering board now, thanks all for posting results.
Yes, performance wise.
Except Vcore OVP @ >1.7V.
we need an ovp bypass mod :D
getting this board this week
My CPU feels rock solid on this board at 4GHz and air-cooled.

Has to be really really good 6800 to run >4.8Ghz with 1.7V:)Quote:

The main ratios (4:5 & 2:3) work, but not as well as on the P5B Dlx.Quote:

Hi Sierra. What voltage did you set in the bios to acheive this result? I've installed this board and am slowly working my way up to around 4ghz if possible, but I don't want to apply unnecessary voltage sine this board overvolts a good bit as it is. Thanks and excellent results as always.Quote:

You have to register at the following forum (OPB's) but it's worth it...Quote:
