Commando Results by Tony and Andre (and others...)

Loc.o: Come on wheres the sport in that ;)

Is there really no additional info on this board?

Tony stated earlier that he is waiting on new BIOS before returning to this board.

I'm not sure but I think it's newer then C2, like v2.0 or something.

It's definitely C2, C1 is no longer available unfortunately.

No longer available...?

Grab a P5B-Del rev 1.03g and u'll find one... ;)

As in no longer available to buy as chips, dooh. Intel no longer produces them, thus P5B Deluxe 1.04g with C2.

I hope you guys don't think there's any overclocking difference between C1 and C2 revision P965's....cause there really isn't. :stick:

Eva, are you saying 965 C1 is better on kentsfield than C2 ?

i'm saying.. is there any diff for kentsfield C1 vs C2 :)

I doubt there is, I think it has more do to with the board design that with the chipset revision.

darn that's a huge vdroop there

yes i agree, just look at how p5b deluxe can rock 400fsb out of kentsfield yet no other board can come close to that.

Got my Commando today. Initial testing, FSB 535 with E6600, Superpi 1M 10.469 sec. Looks promising.

Me too, but my PSU blowed up with some lightning and smoke :D
New PSU tomorrow so I will report some more then.

Tony, any new BIOS yet?

How can I "shop" for that...luck of the draw?

Basically. But I would think that most newer P965 boards have the C2 revision. But you really can't tell until you boot up and check in CPUZ.

hey guys.. in our country the commando is available for order.. :) maybe 3-4 weeks to wait.. :( in 274 dollars.. :D
