Your joking right, with my P5B DLX, i couldnt get anything higher than 520, with this board im at 600mhz = ddr 1200 with 2.425 volts and 5-4-4-12 timings, so please dont post stupid comments because you cant overclock your memory. :slap:Quote:

- The 680i doesn't overclock the cpu better with air cooling (in my case). Results were about the same. Under phase, overclock should be better (because of the extra Vcore). But, I'm limited to 4580Mhz (458*10) :rolleyes:

This would be a lot more persuasive with some actual comparison numbers. :confused:

This is with the exact same setup as before with the exact same applications loading at startup. I have heard that the P5WDH ich7r is however slightly faster than the NV raid solution but in real world applications is unoticable.
Gaming : Both setups were using a 7950gx2 clocked at 600/800 with the cpu @ 3.7 and the FEAR time demo was faster in ALL tests with the 680i albeit by a small margin (680i was faster by 4 fps (minimum) - sorry but thats all I can remember regarding the gaming tests as I was eager to use my new 8800GTX:) .
3d Mark06 : P5WDH vs 680i (10420 vs 10550), again using a 7950gx2 with system clocks the same. Small difference but a difference nonetheless.
FSB and memory have already been discussed and (imo) are linked to one another as my FSB on the P5WDH was limited due to the limited memory timings available on that board. The 680i has more options for timings aswell as running the memory unlinked which helps a great deal, especially if you don't have uber ram, which in turn can isolate any limits the ram puts on your overclock allowing for a greater cpu overclock. I never bothered finding the 'max fsb of the P5WDH for the simple reason I would find that pointless as I would be wanting to run my e6600 with a 9x multi rather than a 6x for the highest cpu overclock. The highest I could get the p5w to was 417x9 which was SP stable but not orthos, the highest orthos stable being 411x9. Again this was possibly down to memory config rather than the motherboard but unfortunately it is the board that is at fault because of the memory sub timings (or lack of). This was at 1.6v on water btw. The 680i is currently running at 1688(422) and is orthos stable(albeit 4 hours) with 1.58v. I couldn't even reach that speed with 1.65v on the P5WDH let alone run orthos for any length of time!
It does sound like I'm knocking the P5WDH, that wasn't my intention as both boards have there merits and problems and are equally very good boards indeed. I'm simply stating that with MY setup, MY experience of using BOTH boards and my limited knowledge of oc'ing the 680i is an all round better performing board. I can't says its better or worse than the P5bdeluxe as the one I had was FUBAR so it wouldn't be a fair comparison, I'll leave that to someone who has good experience of the P5bdlx and 680i to compare.
Hope that helped and sorry for the lack of 'evidence' per say.
**edit** must update my sig otherwise this could get confusing lol
Are you referring to a P5WDH or P5bdlx? 525fsb would be extremely rare on a P5WDH or any 975 based chipset afaik. If that WAS with a P5WDH then you get a big :clap: from me:slobber:Quote:

Just my :2cents:
can anyone tell me where bios files for this m/b can be found
Manufacturer`s home page?Quote:

guys any ETA for abit or dfi 680i?
I know how to overclock my ram i reached higher clocks on the P5B deluxe compared to the 680i. and i also got higher fsb on the p5b.Quote:

The beta bios that solves the sli+sound issue is on the evga forum.
check evga.com again, there is P20 bios ....Quote:

I would be VERY concerned about >90cQuote:

I just did my first test since the new p20 beta flashed by bios. I can boot into windows at 600mhz 5-4-4-15 2T 2.45v but not stable at those volts.Quote:

I just received Corsair 6400C3D today and only one stick will boot, if I try to run pair I get a C1 error, one stick will boot ok but the other one gives me C1 error. Any ideas:confused:

That is very interesting. My X6800 also puts up terrible SuperPi results which runs minutes slower than it did for 32M on 975.Quote:

Also, has there been a fix yet for the ntune problem not being able to set the FSB correctly ?
