Hi All,
Kinda anyway. Full review is out tomorrow.

Regards,
looks promising so far.. :cool:
Indeed. Looks good.
I'm gonna wait for 45nm CPUs until I dump this stupid Intel LGA775 platform & Q6600. I'm getting really tired of FSB, Intel's MCHs & the BIOS architecture of LGA775 boards. No more Intel for me.
The way I look at is it this way. If it helps Anandtech broach the 3Ghz barrier or 3.2Ghz in this instance then some of our more Xtreme members might even push 4Ghz :D
Nice.
Some good news. I thought that this new feature Advanced clock calibration was reserved for AMD Overdrive only. It's good to hear that it will be incoporated into BIOSes as well.
That should hopefully mean that the overclocking boost with Southbride 750 is not available only in Windows.
It will not help that much, if your CPU is already good, might see 100~150MHz out of it with some individual core tweaking. However, you will be able to run at lower voltages and higher NB clock speeds. It works best on those CPUs that have been poor overclockers, seeing about a 300MHz increase on a old 9850BE that would not do more than 2.7GHz today.Quote:

Yeah, AOD is totally flaky. The idea is nice, but man oh man, each time I use it, I never know how its gonna turn out. It crashes the system more than I can even understand.Quote:

Like you mine is watercooled, so I really want to get the most out of it (even if it takes 1.55v+, the cooling can take it). :/
Found this to those interested:

Bingo can you confirm for me that the test on Anand was done under Vista x64? If that's the case then SB750 finally is bringing parity to overclocking under x32 and x64 systems :).Quote:

The implementation is probably where the real fault lies, not the software. I know the software is the visible piece of the puzzle and thus is easy to blame, but it just doesn't seem correct.
I have been waiting on a motherboard upgrade for SB750 in the event that the hype was real. It seems to be. I wonder how much longer it will take until a 790FX board is paired with it? That is idealy what I want, however from some articles I have read the 780GX also seems to be a potentially good overclocker. Any idea if those boards will have more than 5-phase power? I would LOVE a uATX mobo that I could push a phenom in. I want to make a nice travel computer ;)
The Foxconn A79A-S being tested by Anandtech IS a 790FX with a SB750. We might see these BEFORE the GX boards.Quote:

Yes, Vista 64 is the OS of choice with 4GB of memory. I have not noticed a real difference between the two operating systems yet, testing Vista 32 right now.Quote:

Phenom 9600BE @ 3360 (210x16) 1.55V
CPU NB = 2520MHz

Pretty nice OC for a 9600BE...
MoF,
And the cooling used was ?
As may be seen via the compareurl, Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme.Quote:

Woa.
That's also a lot of voltage on air, but still...WOA.
Also any word if thats a BE or just a normal 9600?
BE. Just look at the multiplier.:)Quote:

9600BE, as already posted on the first post about it.Quote:

1.55 isn't too bad at least hes got great air cooling, I wonder how much tweaking he had to do to get it that high. I'm really hoping Anandtech goes deep into it today
Can't wait to put Deneb and SB750 together. Been waiting for a change in my PC (holding on crappy M2A-VM mobo). I'm sure it's going to be great :)
Thanks for confirmation!Quote:

How high you could get that 9850BE on SB600 mobo under Vista x64?
Many Thanks!
i couldnt get in vista 64 more than 100 mhz
strange, but i never had issues with AOD on my msi k9a plat on xp 32bitQuote:

I keep trying to tell you Phenom in 64bit environment requires much more Voltage and does not overclock worth a damn!Quote:

It is basically Vista 32-bit with PAE functionality, meaning it will address 64GB of memory (probably <4GB per thread though).
It should work automatically, but maybe you need to add the /PAE switch to boot.ini.
All my clockin was done in vista 64bit, 3.4GHZ+ was quite easy...so you saying I will reach 4GHZ in XP?
LOL I doubt it :(
I was wondering about this two, what are you doing different than everyone else to get the same results in 32bit and in 64bit? I have been wondering why an os would make a difference in the way a processor clocks.:shrug:Quote:

Then finally I had 9600BE which was stable up to 2.6GHz in 32bit and 2.33GHz in 64bit. No matter voltages, HTT, RAM. My friend got 9600BE which can do 2.5GHz in 64bit stable. I've tried most of these CPUs on 2 different boards, my Gigabyte MA790FX-DQ6 and MSI K9A2 Platinium.
Now I'm sitting with 9850BE @2.73-2.77GHz in 64bit, anything more from BIOS and no-boot to desktop. I can set 2.8GHz in AOD but system will froze while idling.
In depth preview up!
It was down, now its back up =D 3.5 on a 9950!
http://anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/sho...spx?i=3360&p=1
where??
Looks like this ACC thing actually works, that sure will help.
I like that they are able to hit nice clocks with such low voltage =D
I wonder if water would even matter on them since they don't seem to be voltage limited, a nice Air Cooling setup would really be more than sufficiant
ahh i got it..
Only page one worked for awhile, then they took it down and put it back up again. Looks like launch time is next week.
reads like voodoo but working :clap:
but i dont know if its really time for me to change boards soon now and go phenom...
Jubilation!
If Anand can now get 3.4Ghz on a 9850 and 3.5Ghz on a 9950... that indeed bodes well. (Since their highest before was 3.0Ghz.)
Hey... they used DDR2-1066 ram! Hopefully they'll continue to use that for benchmarking.
Hmm seems to confirm what I susptected for quite some time..... that the SB600 was the main cause for the "Clock Interrupt not recieved by a Seconday Processor...." BSOD..
I'm willing to bet that the secondary processor it refers to is in fact the SB600...
The improved communication between CPU and Southbridge with the 6-pin direct link between the CPU and the SB750 resolves this particualr issue, so allowing the CPU to reveal its true potential.
At least every time I would be hitting a wall, this particular BSOD was the only BSOD that kept occurring... nothing else....always "Clock Interrupt on a Secondary Processor"
Now we find out that a new SB with a newly added direct link to the CPU, improves Overclocking....HMmmmm...?????.....Not a big stretch of the imagination....!!!!
What do you think...?????
But hey if ti works and finally Phenom can OC above 3.0GHz.... I :clap::clap::clap::clap: them.... Took them long enough though..!!!
Whats this new product they "Don't dare mention."...???????
And also what was that about PCI-E 1.1 support only...????
I'm really excited to see how the B2's perform as well, this could be a very big win for early adopters.
Also I dont think they have the correct statement with PCI-1.1, since on the SB750 chart it's showing PCI-E v2 (presumably 2.0) I think just miscomunication
The SB750 will be magical with Deneb. Thinking about it is making me giddy. What I want to know is WTF is being released alongside the 790GX that they keep saying they "dare not mention"?! Its affiliated with AOD as well. Is there new Northbridge we don't know about? Is AMD releasing a newer CPU? Dang, I can't wait until next week now...
i don't think it is the sb600 that causes that:you dont even have sb600Quote:

The SB700/750 A-Link Express II interface to the NB is via PCIe 1.1, there is still plenty of bandwidth available, just that we have been after AMD/ATI for two years now to get that link up to PCIe 2.0 to match the NB.Quote:

cpu,HT multy,and the cpu&NB Vcore.
Guys (and girls) with the M2r use the 2.1.0 version of the AOD
and make a CMOS reloaded profile with all settings at default.
I mean certain things you can only do with AOD: like individual
core clocking and adding certain voltage levels to the cpu.
I do use XP32 however maybe Vista+BIOS+AOD is the
problem not just: AOD is sh*t end of story....
Waiting for a DFI-790gx here ....
Hey any possibilities to test older b2 revision phenoms ? non be models ofcourseQuote:

With luck this will put stinktell back where they belong, in mass market sheep products, following the leader in inovation into the next millenium and beyond.:cool:
Phew. So Andandtech have this confused?:)
I was going to say it's no bloody good giving with one hand and taking away with the other.
Upgrading overclockability and downgrading Graphics card potential. :shakes:
So PCI-E 1.1 is between 790FX/GX and SB750?
I actually thought it was Northbridge------ Hypertransport----- Southbridge. :shrug:
Why do you think that they kept saying "the thing that we dare not mention"?
It seems as though they are alluding to 790GX :shrug:
Still no northbridge multiplier for AMD Overdrive though....:down:
nothing i haven't thought also. not precisely that, but some control of the main cpu clock crossed my mind. So no big deal if it's that for me.
did imagine something like clock skewing.. makes pretty sense..
LOL.........So more or less they are way behind in releasing a Vital Micro Code Update for Phenom .:rofl: Well....Duh.... if we have not know that since the frigging Beginning of all this Hoopla:shakes: Six Pins my ASS:D
Yes, will have an update tomorrow on the 9600BE, and a 9550.Quote:

Guys,don't ask me how i know :),but it's not "clock skewing" since that is related to memory channels.
Clock skewing is something that can be implemented on any bus (if the part that controls the bus supports it), so your argument is not valid.Quote:

Can you point me to a proof that Ed Stroligo's bs is valid?Thanks.
How do you know....???? :p::p::p:Quote:

- Launch Black Editions which will then sell further and in all likelihood those who bought initially will also buy to replace the previously bought useless chips
- Launch AM2+ mobo's with SB700, people with SB600 replace mobo looking for better performance
- Launch SB750, and now utilise a hidden means of releasing the handicap of previous versions, people again buy new SB750 mobos, to replace their previous models
All this time AMD are cashing in with sales of mobos, CPU's being bought and then replaced,..... how many here can say they still have their original Phenom and mobo combination....!!!
I know I've changed 2 different Phenoms and at least 1 mobo..and will be getting a new 790FX/SB750 as well.... ..!!!
Of course theres no gain to be made from them holding back the Phenom any longer, as now there's an alternative choice in the shape of the NV 780a boards being available so all of a sudden the SB750 'magic' fix suddenly appears.... though all those NV780a mobo buyers will be cursing now, as having just bought their new mobo, its the AMD SB750 that releases this hidden perfromance boost with Phenom.... and guess what it suddenly becomes available as NV chipset boards are more readily availalbe...
It could all be a strategy....we see this kind of thing in the GFX cards market all the time, with NV and ATI , NV release one card to counter a card launched by ATI and vice versa....
Could it be that AMD have been holding onto their Trump card, waiting for NV boards for Phenom to be released before then releasing the SB750 to boost their own chipset sales...??????
Who knows....bit of wild speculation....been bored so my minds been racing...:D:D: Flights of fantasy and all that...!!!! But it could be plausible to some extent..!!!
HMMmmmmm....!!!!
Can you point us to proof that it is invalid? Ed admittedly offered an educated guess as to what these 6 "magic" pins do. All you have offered is "knowledge" that this isn't the case along with a statement that is completely untrue (that clock skewing is only related to memory channels).Quote:

A healthy Phenom and SB750 at launch time would have probably helped stave off Intel's price war for a while and helped AMD make some money off these chips. The bug with the B2s cost AMD a LOT in the high-performance computing environments where they still had an advantage due to superior scaling in multiple-socket machines.Quote:

No I can't, but you did accept that your own point was 'bs' and that's enough for me. Ed's article isn't 'bs', it contains a well supported theory, but at no point he states that he knows the theory to be true. But it seems you do, so despite your rather silly previous comment I believe you, naturally :p:Quote:

Did you all notice the "new AOD" in that Anand "review" ?
The other "thing" that some people have "missed" is
the fact that we'll need less voltage for higher clocks:up:
I still have m3a with the original B2 9600be in it btw
well and the 790m2r with 9850be
God lets hope this week they get released, this is murdering me!
Me too. There better be news of a mass release of SB750 boards by the end of the day! AMD needs to put up some solid release dates.Quote:

I guess they kept a secret?
If this board has a decent power phase design i am back with ASUS!!!!!
Edit:
I want a bigger picture though.
@ nedjo @ ryan: yes i know these two dk versions but what about UT??
There won't be a UT version this time apparently.
about the whole clock skewing issue, is it possible to just benchmark the sb600 cpu at its max, and the sb750 at its +100ish mhz and see if there is about 5% more power coming out of it? we keep seeing screenshots of the OCs, but i dont see many performance benchmark comparisons between the new and old SBs, did i just miss them?
there was a site that had a UT version for pre-order but it was taken down and thats all i've ever heard of oneQuote:

Asus Showed their board this morning and it got me all excited thinking today's going to be a big news day, but apparently that's not going to happen :(
3.5 more days until the end of this month!
@ socket-man @ karolis: i now this roadmap it says ut 790FXB-M2RS in August or sometime around, but there havent been any fotos or other information. in germany you can already preorder this board at alternate, but delivery is timed in september..
the jr version will be micro-atx if i recall that right..
i want photos from the fxb-m2rs!!! :brick:
I'm thinking 790GX's mid/late Aug, and 790FX (SB750's) Mid September :(
ChristmasGT: Where do you get that? :shrug:
Reviews are showing up all over the web (especially Asia), and if I remember correctly Anand said they would be released this week....

Btw here's a Gigabyte board incase it hasn't been shown yet:

About time. I was waiting to hear of a ASUS Deluxe motherboard.Quote:

I was considering the M3A32-MVP Deluxe Wifi-AP. I ended up not getting that motherboard partly (but not completely) because of very mixed reviews. I hope that this motherboard will be superior to that one in every way and address some of the reported flaws.
I am now just waiting for a Gigabyte 790FX+ SB750 DQ6 model. I hope that news of such a motherboard is forthcoming soon. I am slightly concerned vis a vis that as we have seen Gigabyte's 790GX + SB750 offering thus far.
I will very likely get one of these two motherboards if and when they materialise. I will wait quite a while for reviews and user evaluation first. Unfortunately I cannot afford to blow money away on a lemon.
One suspicious thing though....
They wrote:
"as well as being backed with a solid power design for the most stable operations. "
IF they had implemented a 8+2 phase power design they would have mentioned it.:shakes::shrug:
It's getting closer! Actually, the Asus news release stated that the board had been 'released', which indicates to me 'fly away to the retailers, little motherboard'. Could be a matter of corporate translation tho - released, announced, launched - pretty much interchangeable. I found an old announcement of the SB750 dated August 2007, which stated that the next chipset, SB800/890FX should be out by the end of the year - December 2007!:hump:
What I found amusing is some of the Russian sites' Google translation of the Asus announcement - there seems to be a 'food processor' mounted on this new motherboard!! Talk about integration! Those crazy Russians!:rofl:
Still waiting...................and occasionally rebooting because of the f**king freezes!:brick:
Actually I've read rumors from people that claim they have friends that work at "e-tailers" that say the boards are in stock... they are just waiting for AMD to blow the whistle.Quote:

===============================================
OH BOGUS... the announcement from the Asus site for the M3A79-T DELUXE has disappeared.. I know it was there earlier today.
That could mean things are VERY close... or it could be that AMD has postponed again. <cry>
Decided to call asus about the board just to see if they knew anything at all.
The guy seemed to know the board exactly (including the SB750) he said while not 100% certainty 1-2 months.
but he also went on to say that sometimes people will call with boards with them not even knowing they've released, so I wouldn't take it to seriously but just thought i'd give it a shot.
I Want that DFI! I say though if we don't find something out tommorrow we start talking to manufacturers, someone's gotta know something
I didn't realize that Quakecon starts wednesday.
That might have something to do with an announcement. (With them doing the "GAME.AMD.COM" marketing stuff.)
