sorry if the info is actual somewhere on XS :toast:
nice going with 100% OC benches
wonder if E6600 CPUs will reach similar FSB :)
nice nice
any ideas about RAID?
ICH8 controller right?but i see 6 connectors, so there is additional controller to
probably jmicro like all the other boards but that controller is useless for internal drives
hopefully they'll be available and with a good price.
A good match for a E4300 maybe :)
yeah-yeah, I think good choise , I will surely change p5b-deluxe, so I wait:DQuote:

If it also OCs quad well then really is a must buy. Looking to buy 1 on release :D.
PS: the cooler on SouthBridge looks really curious, like a flat piece of stone.
I'm annoyed that it isn't Inifinity Green... I love the colour on the normal infinity boards...
:D
Seems like a great board though.
if it kills p5b dlx/commando in fsb (northbridge), then its going to override my decision on a BX2.
that's some nice voltage options on it...
FINALLY!!!
i've been waitin so long for a decent P965 mobo. hope the infinity will be as good as the nf4 lanparty series :D
It is I believe a some sort of porous ceramic.Quote:

wow nice options, around $150 mark this board would be a killer deal.
I wonder how it deals with strap changes. if it lets me controll strap presets i would be sold. Not only that a 1t option would be great.
Yeah, what is that thing on the southbridge? I've been wondering that for a long time about the 975 X/G, as well. Any ideas?
Looks like my next mobo. I definitely like the black instead of the green color.
Are we living in 2007? What's with all these jumpers...? :p:
if it ain't got no jumpers, it ain't no DFI!
keepin' it real, you know? :D
Maybe jumpes can config 2X 16x or 2 X 8x PCI-E to suport full crosfireQuote:

Look great. Another real contender challenging P5B-D! :toast:
i think there is some kind of chipset limitation with 965 boards so they have to run 16x + 4x with dual cards donnoQuote:

ETA? Quick google turns up nothing, hopefully this won't be like their 975X Infinity was at launch (ie. good board but major BIOS issues that took months to work out, seems to OC OK now though). Any word on price too? Seems if you want a good P965 OC'ing board with 2x PCIe x16 slots you gotta pay $200+ which is annoying.
/me wants :)
Maybe google turns up nothing because there is little known? I have heard exactly nothing about that board in reality. Takes a good deal more effort on 965 to make it x8 and x8 so if the board did appear...I would expect it to be more than 16x * 4x boards.

Bearlake X38 chipset will feature 16x + 16x lanes on the northbridge, possibily with official SLI support.
Or I entered in the wrong stuff or didn't browse through enough pages or info. was taken down due to NDA's, anyways OP would probably know not you right?Quote:

Heh, i really like the voltages! :cool:
But the most important thing for me is, how the strap change etc.! Hope someone can test that soon, bcs. i need a board that can be that fast as my P5B Deluxe above 400MHz FSB.

this mobo and the E4300 will shine together
any info about availability and price ?

ya u r right , except in only one case if the E4300 will be cheaper and will still overclock as high as the E6300/E6400
hope there will be no vdrop in this mobo.. :) I like the 2v maximum on the NB.. :)
waaa.. hope we have coolaler posting here in XS.. :(

Still amazing oc's for a $150 chip.

Back on topic. :rolleyes:
any ETa on this mobo?? :) I have commando on order.. :) but I like to see this board.. :)
:woot:
Wow, this mobo DOES look quite good. I hope that it is around the DS3 price point... maybe I will sell my DS3 and buy it, if initial results are really good.
I don't mean to be off topic more, but what happened to coolaler? He is a great source of information, why did he leave?Quote:

in discussiond with DFi it seems clear that the infinity 965 is using the 1066strap where the asus has switched to 1333strap automatically.
the fact that the DFI hits 540fsb even on the 1066 strap seems increadable to me...
That is waht i wanted to hear! :toast:Quote:

That's not looking at the cpu/mobo as a system with pieces that should compliment each other, sure every decent mobo will work with the 4300, but the point is you don't need high FSB to o/c with that cpu, so a 965 chipset might not be the best choice.Quote:

That's why this is being referenced as more of a 6300 mobo, if the 4300 gives out at ~3600mhz, this thing would more than likely be overkill, and not playing into the strength of the allendale.
Why did they not make a LP series?
and why coolaler will not post here again ?
Maybe they want a real board a budget clokcer will like. If they put it in the LP series it would cost waaay more.Quote:

nice board
QX6700 490fsb 32M: :D http://csd.dficlub.org/pgpbb2/viewtopic.php?p=4583#4583
he said he reached 480FSB with the P5B deluxe as well...........just a decent CPU i guess :DQuote:

Where he said that. 480 MHz and 490MHz is with same DFI MB at that link:)Quote:

Id trade my RD600 for it.
vdroop is said to be between .015and .02v so not badQuote:

How do I find out what stepping my processor is...and which steppings are the best oc'ers?
if i was deciding on a 24/7 system between Commando and this DFI i would look at the effects of ambient temps contributions by VRM from both mobos....i wonder if Asus digital one will have a significant advantage in reducing overall heat or not
nah digital vrm gets hot too, just look at the big heatsinks on them.
personally i think the dfi wins just for not being asus.
well you do make a convincing argument there i must say..........i really want to test one of these :DQuote:

Abit's new board has it though:

Unless you have more than 4 Raptors in RAID0 your controller may work just fine @ 4x.Quote:

4 Raptor RAID0 sustain about 300MB/s, 4x PCIe has 400MB/s bandwidth for each direction (800MB/s full duplex).
coolaler made another thread... it includes memory bandwidth and FSB overclocking with every form of conroe chip (2m,4m, QC)
http://csd.dficlub.org/pgpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=582
thanks for the updates
Obviously I want that board to touch the magic 600Mhz, but that would be too ambitious ^^, because at 500-540 (which P5B-Dx can do), the Infinity has won hands down already.
Now 1T on Abit AB9 (does QuadGT have it? ._.) is a bit curious, I would like to see how far it goes with memory and bandwidth and how well it stand against P5B-Dx and Infinity.
Too many options and reasons to ditch Asus :P
Hehehe you only just got your RD600 :confused: :stick:Quote:

Edit - looks like he got the preview posted up: http://anandtech.com/mb/showdoc.aspx?i=2911
When is this board due out?

If you can't figure out your P5B though a more option heavy DFI isn't going to be what you are looking for.
With my p5b it's not a matter of 'figuring out' it's a matter of this board being quite buggy and generally unstable. My last 3 boards were dfi and they could clock out the wazoo with rock solid stability... I trust DFI I've never gotten an ASUS board before this time and now I've gone through 2 of them...they are just not quality IMO. DFI has always had the best BIOS options IMO for the last few years (starting a few years ago when they introduced cmos reloaded).
Ok, I am sorry for my last post, it was quite rude. I didn't mean for it to sound like it did. :toast:
Cheers mate! =) It's all good...
DFI has not made a decision to do it or not. Nothing against the results so far but that board is hand built and the initial test results are from Oskar. ;) How much the results will change, if or when it is released, is unknown at this time. I have seen plenty of 600+ FSB P965/680i results in the labs at various suppliers only to have reality set in when the board/BIOS is released for the general public. I hope they do the board as it will be done right.Quote:

i will update if info changes

Have you spoken with YC lately? There are differences of opinions amongst the various groups if it is or not. ;)Quote:

high latency but great performances.
