MSI P4N Diamond,C19 nForce4 SLI Pentium 4 Edition chips set publishes

MSI P4N Diamond uses Intel the P4 platform, origination Digital Switch transformation the SLI model design, matches outstanding hardware CREATIVE SB Live! 24bit 7.1 sound tracks designs !
This is not the market sale edition, therefore use yellow PCB layout, looked here has "SAMPLE" the character, the market sale edition uses black PCB, similar K8N Diamond.

axlrose75 : If its actually his motherboard, he got it for a specific reason, and cant be resold ATM. The specific reason is beta testing... And its a non-retail version. And since it is not out yet, it as a VERY high value, although he cant sell it. Plus, you cant buy and sell if you have under 100posts. You will see the appropriate section when you will be more active:).
/end of lesson

Man, give us some results about that new chipset.... Since its a native Intel chipset, it should give higher performance then so-called Intel NF4

Any 3d benches

stupid question:
when u clear the cmos,do u press the button while the system is turned off?
just wanted to know, never had an msi board before, this might be the first

The divider says 3:6 that should be 1:2 because you always have to make the number as small as possible without dividing it in to smaller parts than 1. The first (minor) bug has been found :D

The memory is very nice, the speed is awsome.

I'm waiting for the 3d benches.

if this has smithfield supprt, and the 3.0ghz pentium d overclocks well, im sold

I'd like to see this mobo prime at over 4Ghz for over 24hrs...Let's see how sophisticated the 4fets per phase is...If it holds true. I think i've already found my new mobo........:)

A good bonus about this board is the space between the SLI slots.

However the space around the cpu socket seems to be limited with them 7 caps that are too close to the socket for my liking tbh. I might be wrong but it looks tights to fit a Evap head on there.

very nice...keep us drooling for more =)..

confirmation!
the board has the circuitry and stuff to support the new pentium d, and pentium xe!
i hope they(pentium d) overclock well.
any idea if the xp120 will fit?

something new always welcome.

Come on baby! ! :fact:
This is tests memory bandwidth benchmark with P4 EE@4.3G
http://my.so-net.net.tw/johnnyliu/P4N/oc1.gif

has surpassed one extremely! :toast:
http://my.so-net.net.tw/johnnyliu/P4N/oc2.gif

Wow...I am just wondering why there is such a huge gap of RAM bandwidth for just 1 FSB difference (i.e. 307FSB vs 308FSB). The 307FSB/860DDR2 = 8GBps++ while the 308FSB/864DDR2 = 13GBps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just so big bandwidth for a relatively decent timing of CL4!!!

Johnny, how bout some 3DMark2k1 runs :D Let's see some score!!!!Nice bandwidth btw :toast:

No Comment!!! :bows: :bows: :bows: :D

Waiting patiently for some 3D runs....... :cool:

om gosh.....

Those Sandra scores are bugged... Look at the bandwidth Efficiency, 216%/222%

forget about all those bios screenies and overclocking the processor, SLI is all about GAMING so get in some 03 and 05 runs plz. jeez the things people do with these beta boards.

oh and dont bother with 01, its outta date and sux, and is only a measure (mostly) of processing power. :D

my 2p

Uh he is previewing a new board. Pics of board and BIOS come first. Bandwith is something everyone wanted to know I'd think and it was easy so he did it.

But they are all bugged...look at them...at least the 13gbs anyway....

yeh well everyone else loves 2001se. who cares about 05!
this board looks pretty good and those 630s are damn tempting
@Bennah i think the lid of cpu will list the evap clear of those caps :toast:

here is another pic ive found
http://www.hardwarexl.com/reviews/ms...amond/p4n1.jpg

are you sure you can use dual core in that?, they said they will release a 955x chipset for that reason...

955x is the chipset from intel to support dual core but this is nvidias chipset

also 13gbs lol :D :stick: :slapass: :nono: :D :D :D

sp are they going to make a Dual core intel board capable of SLI?

sli is nvidias thing

Sound Blaster Live 24 is OK, I tested the card version, but I want to use my Audigy 2 ZS. SLI leaves no place for a PCI sound card or any other PCI cards.

I'd still LOVE to have one though.

i think in AMR boards tehy will put the gfx slots as far north as possible, i suggested that to grayskull and it was implemented in the sappphire gruper board :toast:

I was thinking the very same thing. I hope it doesn't turn out to be a problem because this board looks great! Thanks for the preview.

MSI P4N Diamond in dual core Pentium D,is ready!! :D
http://my.so-net.net.tw/johnnyliu/P4N/830.JPG

w00tttt!

Donnie27

what is the max FSB for the cpu expected???

Nice board. Only problem I see is 1.55Vcore MAX :shakes: Hope the bios has higher vcore options by the time this board is released.

Are u planning on running some benches`?

MSI P4N just listed in OZ at AUD$430 may i ask how does VapoLS and Mach2 LGA775 mounting kits fit.. and waterblocks like MCW6002-775, the area around cpu socket seems cramped..

mach2 will mount just like other board :D
ive pm ya for the pics i take for 875P-T :toast:

Wow 670 *drool.

Johnny do you know if this board is a good overclocker? Does it have any problems at higher fsb's and how hot do the mosfets get overclocked?

I plan on buying an asus nf4 but the msi's are in stock but i still dunno.

Could you help me out.

thanks mate :)

One negative about the Asus nf4 is that I do not believe that it's dc capable.

fyi - the MSI P4N Diamond is in stock at ZZF for $250.

http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produc...uctCode=241170

Im from the uk so I cant buy from there :(.

How come the asus isnt dc capable? I thought all dual core cpu's will work in all nf4 motherboards? Wasnt the review to hardware labs running a normal dual core on it?

The Sissoft bug with insane bandwidth is "old". I had a Pentium 4 520 (2,8GHz) and when it reached ~280MHz FSB the bandwidth did go insane... I once read something about FSB termination/FSB voltage or something like that should help... I haven't tested since my motherboard don't have that option, but seen a couple wich have.

The motherboard looks nice, but I'm pretty skeptic about 3. party chipset based motherboards - think I'm sticking to Intel 955X wich Tbreak actually did review the other day. It's been fairly improved over the 925XE and now beats nForce4 IE by a margin in almost every benchmark :)

...and lastly. Will you be my friend? all that nice hardware - engineering samples, dual cores, the memory, 2x 6800 Ultras :slobber:

Nvidia said that all NF4 chipsets support dual cores, but that it was up to the MB manf. to implement this feature. So all NF4 MBs may not have dual core support.
