I received New BIOS from Oskar Wu. The BIOS is perfect for E6850, Conroes and Kentsfield.
Oskar already solved High Voltage DRAM problem.
I think the mobo will be available in few weeks.

Got any superPI times?
nice.. what was the high vdimm issue ?
i want this board....i guess i can wait two weeks.
this cpus just keep getting better and better :)
good to see DFI with a real overclocker

This board is making me rethink my asus p5ne-sli 650i choice. This board is on the 1066 strap isn't it? If you could, I'd like to see max memory OC with decent timings. The quaGT tops out at 1130mhz or something like that, and I'd like to see 1250mhz. That factor and the price will make my choice.
This mobo is 1066 strap for sure. I will test high memory mhz in few days.Quote:

:eek: .......I'm speechless...548.9fsb??? I must be dreaming. I know I keep asking a lot, but you wouldn't happen to have an e6300 or e6400 laying around would you? I would LOVE to see that fsb on either of those chips. Other than that, What is the max memory frequency at 5-5-5-15, and 4-4-4-12. I see you got at least 549mhz out of the memory at 4-4-4-12 so I'm drooling at the thought of what the result will be.
Really impressive and without any mods, is it NB stock cooled?

Very impressive, but on the other hand we already saw Asus P5B-E doing 590 orthos.
damn man. 500fsb with 1.25vmch and 1.19vtt. that's wild. just wild. I have a feeling I'll be ditching the p5b vanilla that I don't even have yet for this when this comes out.
Also, it's interesting the qx6700 gets reported properly by orthos when you lower the multi. Is it like that across the board with that chip? Like system properties etc. Also, why a higher vtt in that one for 400fsb?
nicely done :)
Yea, but this is on air I believe. Means more to me since I too am on just air.Quote:

What's the max stable speed with Kentsfield? Also what's the max stable speed while using the highest possible FSB?
I may have to get this and a 650i based board. That will depend on the price. Amazing results so far.Quote:

I use 8X because of this kentsfield is unstable on 3.6G.
I'd like to see some e6400/e6300 tests too if it's possible. Quadgt seemed to like e6600 better than e6400/e6300 according to bingo13 ->http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=162
I too would like to see some results with a E6300/6400. People are more likely to be running those than expensive quads at this time.
My last noob question and any questions after this on xs is gonna be intelligent:)learnt a lot in a little time
Question:what cooling this you use with the qx6700?
i'm sorry but i dont see it since your sig isn't visible
thanks

I hope so, this board could be easily the best p965 board..
Sounds like I might actually have to give up my beloved Zalman cooler for a Tunic tower.... :D Nice work there with that OC...
Would that be the retail board? :confused: (I think it should be if it comes out in a couple of weeks.)
That is really nice mobo, can't wait that is will be available!
regards
Wow, very nice. All I'd like to see now is some max memory mhz. If this can beat the QuadGT's 1160mhz on the 1066 strap that'd be great. I'd kill somebody for this board if it got memory to 1250mhz 5-5-5-15!Quote:

Great results.
Wow... Is that 550 fsb orthos 1066 strap?
Also can you run 3.6ghz 32m either 1:1 or 4:5 4-4-4 timings on a 4mb cache chip?
Finally a MB maker with some sense that actually reads about user issues. :banana:Quote:

very nice preview,
thanks for sharing

How does it clock a Q6600... that's the real test! 400x8 on a default 10 multi Quad Core is nothing to brag about.
i need to know how does it act with a Q6600.is it better with Quads than P5B DX?
ditto for me, I need high FSBs on this QX6700 not just 400MHz. try the max FSB on kentsfield to see if we need VMCH vmod or not. ;)Quote:

You know, if we want more results Andre can just send me a board to test and a q6600 and I'll do every test you guys want...so when should I expect it? (wishful thinking)
Two weeks is the ETA? Sign me up :D
Nice this board looks like a real stallion and I'm a sucker for black PCB :)
Does anyone have a real eta on this one yet?
hwat's the real ETA? and how much is this gonna cost?

What RAM are you using?? Any issues with different kinds of memory?:confused:
3ghz c2d? 3ghz p4 could reach 8ghz.... when are we gonne have a c2d 8ghz project?
yes the mobo kicks arse
where the hell is it :D
3GHz P4 was a completely different architecture and a 1.83GHz C2D beats a 3.8GHz Pentium D in most applications so it's a completely different kettle of fish.Quote:

Hey AndreYang, this board sure clocks cpu... you have proved that.
Now do some extreme ram clocking :)
See if you can get DDR-1200+, not only that, see if 3-3-3 is faster then 4-4-3 (usually isnt on 965 because of subtimings)
Lastly, does this board have a 1T option?
:toast:
AndreYang do u have the option in bios to choose which strap to use? And if u don't, is there a possibility that the mobo is changing the strap by itself over 500 fsb (for example),to something not as tight as the 1066?

it would be interesting to see your comparison...........it seems that the highlighted timing is the issue on Asus right rather than CAS3?Quote:

Did anybody measure vdrop of this board?
any cold boot issues? even my p5b doesn't always like rebounding sometimes, although hitting the reset fixes it.
i'm still speechless about the stock vmch/vtt at 500+ fsb on 1066 strap. what the...

Would that change if you dropped a E4300 chip in?Quote:

we are patient.....:D would love one of these for sure
Very Impressive. :)
Fully enough for dual core cpus.
Then, How about 'FSB 400+' w/ quad core cpu?
Andre, are you still using this board? If so, are you able to run mbench or a similar test to find latencies and clocks for ram? A test at 400fsb and again at say 500fsb would really be fantastic. From the looks of testing on the quadgt, it looks like although it's still on 1066 strap, certain internal latencies were still severely loosened, since results were still iffy. Probably no getting around that on p965 though.
