Awesome pi time for 3.5Ghz on a K10 :)

I hope this becomes commonplace in the not to distant future..

Great work.

:) :p::D :D :clap: :clap: :up: :up:

BTW, what batch/stepping did you have?

Very nice results ,I think i'm going to sell my poor 9500:)

littleBoy, is that 3570MHz related to all four cores or one core?

now where talking. can you run 3dmark06 cpu test?

btw excellent results :eek: :up:

I'm pretty sure it would be rejected by cpuz if it were only one core.

Well, according to the technical specification each core can operate on its own internal frequency. Is that fact a barrier to validate a snapshot?

Hi

Nice setup you got, Congrats.

I was searching for that mobo, to replace my DFI 790FX-M2R, but I have on question:

I think so, every time I overclock with AOD, cpuz rejects my oc, even if it is the same freq at all the cores.

I was under the impression this board was canned in favor of the M3N-HT. Is this a retail board or some sort of ES board?

I think Ive seen it being announced, so not a ES I'd think.

:yepp: Mine too, unless I can reprogram it, it's a no go, and the worst thing is the M3N-HT DELUXE have the same SPI eeprom soldered. LOL I have to wait for the new 790FX revision.

I can validate with CPU-z with the cores clocked differently. The following validation validated Core0 (which was the highest of the 4) at 3200, The other three were as follows: Core1-3100, Core2-2900. Core3-3000.

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=351671

Well, it is not all bad news, after some research I found the BIOS is AWARD, and bios options are great. :up: , they are LEDs for NORMAL/MEDIUM/HIGH voltages for SB/HT/MEM/CPU,NB... 3 extra thermal probes, you name it...
I want one of these!!
DFI 790FX-M2R, anyone?..:D

Im tempted to pull the IHS and check the TIM contact and replace it with ic diamond.

Does the Nvidia bios allow you to disable cores?

For these Phenoms that we know can be adjusted independently, maybe an update to cpuz to show all core speeds.

Crosshair II Formula user’s manual(German) it's the only one available

careful i believe these are soldered

Can't wait for these to hit newegg... I love my crosshair but it just isn't capable of handling phenoms, its time for retirement for the most reliable board I've ever had.

BTW, I looked at the manual for the M3N-HT Deluxe and the bios looks almost exactly like the one for the M3A32-MVP Deluxe, except chipset specific functions.

Central Brain Identifier Black release already have it.;)

Everyone Thanks a lot.

test cpu's core is 4 cores. i don't test the cpu with one core.

Bios chip is solder on mobo.

I am going to post the batch code later. 3DMark06 test too..

I am going to rma my crucial tracer pc8500.

and I don't confirm amd overdirve util in CrossHair 2 Mobo.
Becase of nvidia 780a.

It is absolutely amazing the difference a stepping can make, pre b3 I would not have considered x4 but after seeing the last few oc results and my local shop stocking them I am very tempted.

Great clock littleboy, just good to see this chip getting higher every week

It can but it gets rejected for validation unless they're all alike ;)

Good Phenom you have there mate and thanks for the info :toast:

Max NB?
Max HT?

Why did you use wPrime 1.61? :confused:
It's slow and neither official, use v1.55 and that should be sub 11s I'm thinking.

Littleboy, nice overclock, but... maybe I am blind or something, since nobody asked about it yet.

What voltage do you need to get to 3570MHz?

And what are the temps? I see you watercooled you chip, is that water like.... extra cool?

I does seem that its for sale now here. One etailer has it in stock. So it wasn't canceled. I wonder why Asus took it down from their website though. One question. Does this board support Power State Inspector? If yes i;d really like to see a Power consumption comparion for Phenom with a 790FX board

^ Highly doubt it.. those who have it usually boast about it on the first marketing line :D

i.e. ASRock boards.

Yeah its a a known problem, happens for me too. Just forward it to Franck and let him check your files out, most this way are valid.

Hmm.. first time I've seen it and it wrongly says 3200 on all cores. Its never worked for me this way, ever, on that board too - anything different you're doing? :shrug:

Yes, and it actually works.. :D

Just looked at the asus site and now they have a manual in French as well. I really can't wait for this board to come out...

My Asus supplier has loads of em in stock, expensive though :( I'm just not sure I can justify these sort of expensive motherboards anymore. In $ you are talking $340 inc. shipping, roughly (once converted from £)

Asus have it listed on their site here

Thought we could compare...this is Crossfire X 3870x2's

http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/st....3ghz_1066.png

Will run off a single card also...just thinking the price of the Crosshair + card could equal 790fx with 2 cards and get you a faster system ;)

Edit: ran off a singe card...seems I still win ;)

http://www.ocztechnologyforum.com/st...ngle3870x2.png

3700 with a Phenom is fantastic i can say...
Still coldbug chips ?

i love my Crosshire II Formula too, is best mobo for Phenom today ...

Thats a bold statement, why not prove why for us ;)

Remember HTT clocking is ONLY useful for getting ram speed where you want it, it adds no performance as you are just manipulating overall HT which is used to decide processor clock speed.

So If the Crosshair is so good, show us why ?

^ Agreed, I'd like to see why its the best.

I know prolly as much as you do,

but AFAIK it's not forbidden to show pics. After all those pics are already available on Asus site I think.

I think it's not allowed to show technical information, results in benchmarks compared to other components. But as you said, what do I know?:rolleyes:

well, i think pics do violate NDAs, and AFAIK those pics, are not availble anywhere, let alone on asus's site, i've been looking....

A faster system at 3dmark. if you really wanna bench 3dmark you wouldn't even be considering an AMD cpu anyway.

some live and die by this bench...i was just comparing like for like with the same cpu speed.

Im going to quote what i said in my thread....Phenom seems to run games better...slower, yes, but smoother, and im getting this info from tier 1 video card reviewers who bench all the games.

So if the FPS matter to you then yes go Intel, but i believe most like smoothness under full load and this is where Phenom seems to be better.

Also drivers for the ATI cards will get better and performance will increase, most games are getting GPU limited again, so there is more to come thru driver.

Im all for speed, but I want smoothness also and going by what im hearing amd seem to have the edge.

i own a phenom :p: just doesn't seem fair saying 4 way crossfire is faster when in some games the gx2 walks over 4 way crossfire.

These look like nice boards, just need to find one available in the land down under now.

im not saying its faster in everything, far from it, was just faster in 3d06.

wellll im an admitted nvidia fanboy its a natural reaction.

I'm personally going to get it because of the bios. I'm just very fond of the extreme tweaker. That and I need better monitoring than what my board provides right now, mostly voltages because not even my ram voltage is read.

this board is allready a week available in holland.. i personally am still waiting for SB750 from AMD

so now i can only watch my 9850 doing nothing :(

does anyone have even the slightest idea of US availability on this board? I've been waiting for it from the time it was "Announced" over a month ago. This is becoming worse than the dfi 680i board launch

Haha, some Im not the only Dutchnut being em0:ROTF:. But yes, I want SB750 now:mad:.

I'd like to try out the Crosshair II though to see if my 9850 is simply crap or it's really the SB issue, but I dont see the point since I want to use Crossfire... Could as well throw in SLI, but I dont like nVidia (and actually Ive a good argument, not blatent fanboy-ism. I dislike their drivers a lot, that's about it but enough of a reason for me personally).

Both the M3N-HT and the Crosshair II are available here in Greece now apparently. What's curious is only Asus(and ASrock) have announced 780a/750a boards afaik. I guess they got all the early chips. Anyone know if DFI is working on a 780a board?
**EDIT** I just saw MSI also has one link Even has a XFi audio daughtercard

You can see MSI 780a here, they fixed all the hardware issues and complaints we had with their 790FX: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/200...e_780a_mobos/2

Overall, the 780a boards look like the MFGs waited to find all problems in their 790FX designs and fix them up with these next iteration boards. Even the PWM and layout is better, boards are supposed to be much better for high power, memory, stability and overclocking in general although the 780a chipset itself runs hot and needs good cooling.

I would look to Foxconn Destroyer 780a, probably will be the best 780a offering IMO; Foxconn has the old DFI team and of course, Shamino ;)
http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/4...oyerva2.th.jpg http://img382.imageshack.us/img382/4...6584rp6.th.jpg

KTE, in your opinion, do you think the idle unstability is a chipset related issue? Because I'm considering selling the K9A2, and there are rumours about the new AMD boards with SB750 being able of overclocking a little further. Maybe this nVidia based chipset will make my BE9850 stable at 3Ghz, and the BIOS of the MSI K9A2 isn't very "overclocker-friendly" IMHO :(

I've been working since Friday 11PM, I need a reboot, my spelling s*cks right now. :$

DAMNIT!!! I have the money waiting for a 780A board to just be available in the retail market, if I could get my hands on one, I would review the living :banana::banana::banana::banana: out of it just to show if nVidia was able to bring back the crown like they did with the nForce 2/4. Plus I would love to be able to use SLI if I decide to drop money on another 9800GTX


NCIXUS has the M3N32-HT for $241 in stock.

I am waiting for either the Foxconn Quantum-Force Destroyer or the ASUS Crosshair 2 Formula

No, I get it on all boards ;)
It's a Phenom B2 and B3 issue, one of the cores is weaker than the rest i fyou have it.
Try individual core clocking and you'll find which one.

Look at me, 2.85G fully stock voltage stable on any board - 2.8G failed idle on all boards.. so I tested and so far found core 0-1-3 can do 2.8G 100% stable for over 20 hours but core2 looks like it can't. More testing underway right now ;)

Also found core1 can do 2.9G stock volt stable too - I wonder which other ones can :D

I dont like AOD, and I hardly know something about that registry tool...

Is there anywhere some sort of guide and general info about the registry tool? Like, does it work as Atitool, Windows starts, profile loads, done?

This post was done in a hurry, could google but not now so any info when I log on tomorrow would be nice:p. Will do some googlework tomorrow too of course mself;)

I see more paid folks showing results.
Per usual..

Maybe Nvidia and the 780a board folks will actually release these boards instead of sending assassins with top bin chips to showoff their wares.....

I've seen an ASUS board for sale...$260. bah, are you serious, this is a fledgling chip, that is seriously struggling to get some attention from the BEATINGS AMD has been getting...

Thanks for the New Board and Binned chip results, at least we know that if we score the lottery, we can get good results.

none of the chips or boards on this site are "binned"

Very nice results for a Phenom ? Have you got the DFI 790FX also ? I'd like to know what difference in oc do you have with this one :)

So NDA for Crosshair II is lifted now or what:D

very nice, keep up the good work ;)

You got a nice Phenom! Very nice Scores.

Yea man stick with the Ntune :rofl:

Dear 'aGeom'.

I think AOD only Support AMD's chipset.

This MOBO is NVIDIA's Chip. So 'Littleboy' can't test AOD.

I think this amazing record is not MOBO's abillity. I think Processor is very very very GOOD!.

But only that CPU works same clock on AMD 790FX MOBO.(Littleboy is my friend.)

This CPU is handpicked sample(by AMD Korea).

CPU is very very Good.

I bought same stepping CPU seven times.(0811*6 0810*1) but all of them can't post over 3.0(200*15)Ghz.

So. This result is not MOBO's abillity.

CPU is very very Good.

I bought same stepping CPU seven times.(0811*6 0810*1) but all of them can't post over 3.0(200*15)Ghz.

So. This result is not MOBO's abillity.

I thought it was hand picked & yeah put on the DFI & see what its really got :D

With a little "hack", AOD works (more precisely: cpu fid works) with nVidia chipsets :up: The "hack" is found here in the forum. :yepp:

Littleboy already has test result on ASUS 790FX(Almost same clock.). I'll ask him to post the result when he returns home.

Nice!

HEY GUYS!!

After CrossHair2 Mobo return, I used two mobos.
Asus M3A32 MVP Deluxe.
DFI LANPARTY DK 790FX-M2RS.

Two mobos 3.3Ghz Above possible.

DFI 790FX - wprime v1.55

Littleboy, what´s the stepping of youre chip? Mine is an 0811 and seams to be worse then many 0810 i´ve seen... Great read BTW, will sell my 790FX board for an 780a know!

Why didnt you get 7x 0810 instead of 6x 0811 the 0810 looks much beter than 0811.


BadNizze its a "0810"

If i´m not wrong i think Tonys chip also is "0810" and this is also "0810" and both do very well.

Dear getfeus

You are very polite by call me as "Dear aGeom", I'm not a formal person, you can call me just by my nickname or Paulo if you will.

Now, AOD as you can see in the following posts runs on NVidia chipset, I run it on an nforce 590a before, without hack ( http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...9&postcount=47 ).

Maybe you have it right, since Tony could clock his Phenom 9850BE@3500 on DFI 790FX, and I could not, with the 2 Phenom 9850BE I had on the "same" board. I didn't bought the Crosshair II, thinking that I can run the 9850BE @3500, I know my CPU limit, I just want to test the board and compare it with the ones I had/have, and also to check if the IDLE "bug" occurs in a different chipset than AMDs chipset.

Thanks.Be well...

Paulo

His chip might be handpicked but mine wasn't. I got the exact same stepping 0810 AMPW. Search through the 9850 X4's on hwbot and u'll c my results on air on the Gigabyte 790FX-DS5 (usernames Miskeh).
Now I'm hoping that the coldbug is more motherboard related as atm my chip refuses to boot with my frozen ss. Its a shame the crosshair II costs the same as a e8400 + p35

I reckon you run a 32bit OS? The hack is only needed with 64bit OS:yepp:. And AOD only gives limited options in nVidia chipsets (in my experience at least). But you got nTune:rolleyes:

Likmak, is your phenom is oced ?

Yes, I'm running it at 2,5GHz, an overwelming overclock :D
