Thats with P02 right? Some are seeing even better YF FSB results with P02.Quote:

stop being a wuss and get those gpus on water ;) that is if you can put blocks on EVGA cards . . .lol. Why you guys let BFG get the jump on you with Danger Den is beyond me. Did you guys try to work out a deal with EK? EVGA cards deserve better than Black Pearl man. Way better. You guys make awesome stuff and have awesome customer service. stop lowering yourselves.Quote:

Perhaps better to forget that since thats will be very hard or impossible to do, DFI board or not. Get a QX9650 and do 4GHz on safe 1.4Vcore 24/7 rather than a short time on 1,5-1,8V.Quote:

Yeah, I'm not banking on 500 fsb for a quad. It seems that maybe Intel has figured out how to keep their lower-priced processors from competing head to head with the higher priced models (low multis plus limited FSB headroom). :(
Can you use the EK Supreme CPU block with this board?
for those with the XFX board it is possible to flash to EVGA's bios and back. just use the /F switch.
I've assembled my XFX 780i and am only able to get about 100MHz more out of it then on my 680i with Q6700 and cheap 667mhz memory. I don't like to use excessive voltage since my boxes run Boinc 24/7.
one thing i did notice is that the memory performance is better. I get my good Corsair memory back from RMA tomorrow, now i need to RMA my G.Skill 1000Mhz memory...
Ya lets hope it doesnt fry DDR2 like the 680i does....So many RMA so little time
I have the XFX 780i
Q6600 PCPC 750 silencer. water cooled cpu gpu. ballistix 8000
only two sticks in at the moment.
I can get 3.6 pretty stable, but I had this 3.9 stable on a p5k deluxe.
3.7 and up on this and I am not stable, and get A0 display and no post
after reboot, also, vdroop I have to set 1.6 in bios to keep 1.47 under load.
1.47 on the p5k was stable many hours prime. small fft's
any tips? when do i need to drop htt on this? at what fsb.
If someone can point me to a decent 680i thread would be appreciated, thanks.

Is there some serious differences between the evga-xfx models (with reference layout) and the asus p5n-t?
I can't find a comparison between nforce mobos on web.

Hi there.
Can anyone tell me if the the NB chips at 780i board are the same height or is there height difference. Cant find a mobo here and want to make the water block.
I'll appreciate any info.

New beta that works with the 780i. It now correctly recognizes it and read the sensors properly.

RMA it bro, my first board had the A0 error when rebooting between fsb 1650-1750, my second board does not have this issue, but my second one doesnt overclock my ram as high hehe, i guess you win some and loose some, cant have it all :rolleyes:Quote:

FuriousSalesman, step-up is nto for motherboards but evga did give an upgrade option for 680i board owners so they might over some incentive for the next generation as well (probably not 780 to 790 but maybe to the following chipset)
i dont see a reason to go to DDR3 intill nehalem.
I am a very indecisive. Its been a few years since I built my last computer. I guess I lean towards DDR3 because its "cool and new". I bought some really cheap OCZ 800mhz gold edition DDR2. http://clubit.com/product_detail.cfm?itemno=A4308035
Is this good enough? Or should I look for better ram?
just got my new board, from RMA, a new board....im having trouble getting my ram stable at fsb 1712, my other 780i which had the A0 problem, didnt have this issue......hmmmm is it my ram or my board.........im using 1.5v on the nb and 1.65 on sb, 1.4 for fsb and 1.4 for ht..............
UPDATE: so 2gb works fine, pases memtest blend normally, but 4gb is trouble, i have the nb voltage almost maxed out......this is def. an NB issue in my opinion...............soon as i put in 2 sticks it fails prime blend within 1 minute, but with one stick it works fine..........any ideas on this guys? thanks
are these running any cooler than the 680i chipsets?
nope, still burning hot NB, i dont care for the heat as long as it is stable.Quote:

Got teh board in but haven't had a chance to open it, probably will test it out tomorrow and start really playing with it over the weekend (hoping for at least 3.6 with my q6600 and the closer to 4 the better)
here is the thing with this board, seems like at stock fsb 1066mhz it will prime blend no problems with 2 sticks 4gb total, but with fsb 1712 it wont pass prime blend with 2 sticks, but it passes with 1 stick......im using stock cooling and i have a 120mm fan blowing on the nb when testing.............well its getting late here in SoCAL so imma get some rest will test some more when i get free time tommorow..........if anyone else with 4gb kit could test it out at higher fsb, 1600+ i would appreciate it, thanks.Quote:
