Platform:
Intel QX9650/E8400
Cellshocks DDR3-1800 Blue Kits
Koolance Watercooling
Leadtek 8800GT Mod

Pros:
vdroop= 0 :D
volt range= toooo much wide :up:
overclking options= enough :clap:

Cons:
bios not 100% finished yet.
fsb overclking need to be improved.


some overclking results:
vFsb=1.425v
vNB=1.5~1.67v

QX9650 @ 448*10 3Dmark06 (GTL1/2/3/4=+7) (3D Perf not that good, might be OS/Driver Prob)

really nice perf. break 10min with only 4.5Ghz :D
E8400 @ 500*9, DDR3-2000 7-6-6-15 with optimized timings

and more: perf_lvl=7, 510fsb/ddr3-2040

perf_lvl=8, 515fsb/ddr3-2060 :)

Nice :up:

I was looking to get Asus Rampage Extreme, but with this coming from Foxcon and the new DFI, looks like their is going to be some nice looking other boards to consider.

I also have the Cellshocks sitting just waiting. When do you think they will release this board. I have been waiting for ages for them to?

Sweet work bro...

Impressive board and the performance is not bad at all...

The board is just crazy strong...

Looking forward to further updates.

Keep pushing it.

:woot: shamino is gonna love this :lol:
what was your max on your previous board?
is it me or is the kit clocking better with every new board you put it in? :D
so it sounds like the MCH's are steadily improving and intel can get them to clock higher and higher.

lol, same clk on Asus Max Extreme.
but...i can do 2080 766 32m on Asus Blitz Extreme.

hehe the cellis working good with the board - pretty nice to see :)

nice to see what my next board looks and performs like. Thanks for the sneak peek :)

is this closer to the retail version then the one they showed with the water block and the dryice tube? This board looks really promising.. just i don't have a need for the dry ice tube, the waterblock would be nice though.

also.. does anyone know a site in canada that has cellshock.. or that ships to canada?

Nice board, but you forgot pics of it!

Booooooooooooooooo!!!!!

I want to see pictures of the board :p

@.@ i've already linked a pic here.

great board man!!! will it come in ddr2 version in the near future?

I love ya Vict :D
so is that pi32m really strong at the clocks, i dunno im not a pi guy
i gotta try more ram clockin now, catch up with ya :)

nice 11min flat which is on par with Asus DDR3 boards at 8x500FSB seeing as DDR3 easily is 15-20 seconds faster clock for clock than DDR2 for Super Pi 32M.

to compare on Asus Blitz Formula & DFI LT X38-T2R

Oh I see it now, when I first viewed the thread and reloaded the page I didnt see it!

But its not got much cooling on it compared to asus and msi. Is it going to be cheaper?

that pic. is not the production board bhavv ..... production board has 4 in 1 cooling eye believe

Thats a damn good lookin board. The layout is almost perfect.

:D that's really really fast bro.
if i'm benching with my "pi only" OS, should be about 2sec faster :D

bandwidth also very nice at 500fsb.:up:

yes, the performance is on par or even better than Asus ddr3 mobo.
'coz it can set unbelievable ram timings in bios.
e.g. with asus mobo, i can set 6-5-5-18 with tRP/RRD/RTP=3.
but with 7-6-6-18, tRP/RRD/RTP have to set = 4.

with foxconn x48.... 7-6-6-18 3-3-3 no prob at all, although performance the same :D

Interesting - extra tweaking done in X48 chipset I guess :)

How's max FSB for E8xxx 45nm and QX9650 compared to other boards you tested ?

ah finally someone that benches superpi properly :D

nice results indeed Vic :up:

shame about FSB
that is a very very very important issue they need to work on for dual cores .... they still own in anything other than '06 :D and with a 10x multi coming very soon there's gonna be some serious fun with these

try playing a bit with GTL ref clocks

reduce them while going high in FSB and see if you can get some better clock (assuming you haven't already)

Great work Victor :D

Showing off potentioal of the board on air :D

lol, the board can't go higer fsb by defualt, 'coz tWR/tWTR is toooooo tight if u let them "auto".
i haven't tried max fsb on the mobo yet, but...for QX9650...tbh, fsb is not that good compared with Asus X38 mobo.

for GTL ref, i've tried a lot combinations, for my chip, i have to set +7/+7/+7/+7 to achieve 448fsb :D

looks good, but again with noisy schmutzig cooler ...

any idea's when this board is going to be released?
