And some 3DMark06 run of mine:

So does he have the 1:1 issue that you did? What's his FSB?
We're waiting for results :)Quote:

Update from Turrican:
- 1:1 runs fine for him (using Corsair sticks)
- Just tested FSB 400 1:1 for a quick 3DMark run, worked fine with MCH 1,6V
- Again, his connector is correct
So, he pretty much has none of the problems I faced. Guess we'll see more results tomorrow :)

* That's it for Today
EDIT - damn, too slow :(
Yay, another 975 board worth getting!
Sicness got a dud ;)
Thanks for the reminder :(Quote:

That's what I want to hear. No more worries about the board killing my other hardwares due to constant power downs. My harddrives and waterpumps will live a little longer. Looks like its OCZ ram compatibility issue SO FAR. Nothing confirmed yet. Lets see what other users say.Quote:

Considering 1:1 266 FSB is suppose to be a standard, you would be entitled to a r.m.a. I would suggest you visit a loca retail store and purchase some additional ram in order to rule out ram incompatabilty before requesting r.m.a. If you are unable to use the ram with the board you could simply return the ram for a refund. If it works then you would have proven incompatabilty.:)Quote:

I still have every intention on grabbing this board once it becomes available again.
Is there any other reason why you wouldnt recommend this board, since you are one of the
first to get your hands on it and all. ;)
Sicness,
Does this board have cold boot like the P5W (power down the hardwares completely when exit the Bios or reboot with high FSB, >390fsb? This is very important to me, pls confirm. Thank you!!!!

are you guess getting a new revision NB ? or is it the same as all the others. just curious if a new 975 came out along with the new C2 965
Sorry wanna ask again, for users of this board, or potential users, will you bother to replace the thermal pads with some good thermal paste? :D
