My 6400C3 samples are unreal, I can hit DDR900 3-3-3-9 @ 2.2v no problem. Did you get samples of the 8500C5 to try memory speed? The C3 should go very fast when backed off to ~ 5-5-5-15

AMD will shift for high bandwidth where Intel has always dominated, we should see some sick Sandra memory benches passing all Intels current DDR2 records easily. Intel still owns the multimedia it seems.

For sure on the c3 charles. Very nice ram indeed for LL.
As for c4 with 4-4-4-12-2t, I was running ddr551 for 3dmark 01' with them so I think not so bad at all. Sandra and superpi I'm sure will go higher. Testing them hard atm.

Nice scores Kingpin, the FX seems to clock pretty well. The hunt is open for a golden sample :D Aslo the new nvidia chipset is pretty good, it gave a very nice boost. Still don't think if AM2 + Kingpin can holdup a high clocked Conroe, guess we will see that in the next few months ;)

3.6 @ -20. now thats better. so 4ghz is gonna be a walk for single stage or dice. and maybe 4.5ghz will be broken this time around, (and on a dual core at that)

Hmm, I forgot about a mobo for that. Guess Crossfire will have to wait :)

I actually believe Foxconn has been in the game for longer than DFI.. they are no newcomers :) They've used to produce Intel refrence cards if I'm not mistaken.

I hope Nvidia will implement some of that LINKBOOST and EPP into their Intel chipset.. So one can have the best of two worlds.. ;)

DFI's got one coming dont they Marcus?

Here are some pics of the setup. I am really digging the boards look. Real clean and black. I made the hold down from a cutting board lol, whatever works right? :)...have some nicer machined ones coming:

Good stuff Kingpin, it might be a surprise to many with all the Intel talk these days. I'm glad you had a chance to check it out and punish SLI/AM2 for your fun and ours.

Rig looks pretty mean :D

i hate to tell this.. but the fx-62 is already dead.. against conroe cores wich cost 1/4 of that one.. SAdly i do love amd..but for what i have seen conroe is next in my upgrade path..

anyways thanks kingpin for sharing with us... :P

i heard of new improved chips from amd ... do you guys know if this rumor is true???

why would you even post this in a thread about AM2? no one cares, its known information.

however...k|ngp|n...great job on the WR...im sure youll hit 55k with no sweat in the near future.

KINDA :D I'm working on it. It's starts bugging around -15c, but it is somewhat controllable up to about 3650mhz. That's as far as I've gotten with it. It takes time and the right chip to beat it.
FX-62@ 3633mhz with def gtx clocks through 05' using 667 div for cpu testing:

The 6400C3 DIMMS can run decent Mhz too with slacker timings. Pushing the HT on the FOXCONN board on 10x and memory 1:1 stable for 3dmark05'. Def GTX clocks:

now what happens if you use a much lower ram divider would that help aleviate the coldbug issue?

it would be nice to see that cpu above 3800mhz i think but to me it looks like you might need another one and get lucky to really push it.

-15c that seems kindof high to start cold bugging or am i wrong?
maybe ddr2 makes the mem controller more prone to it?

Very nice to see a new brand like Foxconn (i've never heard of them before) around, a welcome change after over 2 years of DFI dominance.

Looks like they made a solid product. :)

If you look closely, you'll find Foxconn makes most of the AMD sockets (the white plastic part it is) even in DFI boards :D

yeah, they also make the usb, serial connectors, and modem ports on Asus boards.

The only Foxconn board i've ever had was a MATX P4 478 which OC'ed very well. It was a good all round board, that wasn't too expensive, yet had great featutres.

Still, if DFI can do the same as they did with Nforce4, they should have some boards!

Hey Vince what is the pci-e frequency to that board?

125?
