i,ve noticed that the f8 bioses need a couple of notches more vcore than the f7 bioses for the same overclock , about 0.01 volt , oc nub what difference did the f8 bioses make in other 3d marks , i'll whack some screens up once i install my orher cards again and compare to f7e which is the one i used
Im not sure the exact numbers but I get better scores using f8x vs f7e. "the real 7" also said his scores went up quite a bit after flashing to f8x in 3dm11. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=1235
holy crap that is a LOT of increase for change in BIOS.
guys need your help /advice.
tomorrow I can exchange my p67a ud7 b2 for the b3 version.
I'm tempted to swop it for the MSI p67 gd65 saving euro 175,00
which I will use to buy a 23 inch Samsung led monitor.
1 I will not be using Sli ever.
2 difference GB 24 fase power MSI only 6
obviously there are a few more differences but since I'm not a
die hard overclocker.
UD7 now running standard at 4500 mhz all settings auto no problems
rock solid.
How will the Msi compare to the GB???
Sofar I have always bought GB, but you pay quite a premium
for all the GB Goodies.
p67a ud7 euro 330,00
p67a gd65 euro 150,00
looking forward to your comments.
grtz
I would check out threads on the MSI board before deciding to see if there are any major issues. I have a PX2370 Samsung LED, I like it much better than my old LCD.
Tks. I have the XL2370 and px2370 on my shortlist also the new
Iiyama ProLite E2473HDS-B1 led monitor.
Msi user have also had problems with bios settings etc., obviously
the GB materials used will be of a higher quality than the cheaper
msi 67 ud65.?
But the question is for normal pc use some gaming if the Msi will
be sufficient.
Not even sure if the retailer will accept the swop.
tks.
I would say that the msi will probably be fine. The whole point to buying UD7 is for NF200 and the long list of features. If you arent going to run SLI or use all that extra stuff then there is no point in buying a flagship board. :up:Quote:

Cause the only thing I find better on the UD7 is dual ethernet ports.
Thanks for your help, and for your review, which is really clear :)
For those who already swapped the motherboard for the new B3 version: did you have to give back ALL the items that were in the box, or just the motherboard without cables etc?
Well you don't really need the ud7 won't run 16x 16x anyways so for any p67 chipset which suits your budget, if anything it's more batch dependent on great clocks not board..Quote:

So it's up to you what will fit your needs really
What do you mean it wont run x16/x16? It has a NF200 and can run x16/x16 and x16/x8/x8 or even x8/x8/x8/x8Quote:

And as I said, I only want 2 cards, so 16x/8x/8x or even 8x/8x/8x/8x are useless to me :) (well in fact maybe there will be 3 cards, the 3rd being an nVidia used to do some PhysX ^^ but that doesn't count :p)
