Sometimes, it's not your time. Sometimes, you have to make it your time. Sometimes, it can ONLY be your time.
Not sure with Conroe yet though, I pm'ed Coolaler about 975 boards that could hit 450fsb, he recommended the Intel 975XBX, so I'm not sure what the MSI can manage on Conroe...
MSI has a 370fsb wall right now - but for kentsfield its the best performer out there in terms of FSB and a unlocked multiplier BIOS should be available soon for ES cpu's - mine will be here Monday
I'm ordering one soon along with an E6600. I'm not looking to overclock this time round. Just have a stable, high performing, low heat producing system.
I'm choosing this board becaue it has 2 IDE connectors in the RIGHT place unlike the P5W DH Deluxe which has one IDE connector under the PCI slot - how gay.
The next time you're having a bad day, imagine this:
You're a siamese twin.
Your brother, attached at your shoulder, is gay.
You're not.
He has a date coming over tonight.
You only have one ass.

Here is coolalers Conroe on the MSI 975 2B
I don't remember if this is a kentsfield being read wrong or just a conroe.

2x 160 GB HD
Antec Trueblue 2.0 480 Watt
What cooling was used to achieve those results?
No they are proper Conroe results the Kentsfiedl deffo hits a wall at 370mhz FSB
The Power Up is version 2.1
I contatcted a friend of mine in the industry, like Mav said the MSI is definatley stuck at 370 with Conroe.
Hummm probally a bios issue.
If MSI has a 370 FSB wall on Conroe, why did coolaler pass it?
Sure doesn't seem like a wall to me.
I believe coolaler used ES
E6600 Gskill HZ 2 gig
Asus P5B Del. GeForce 7900gGT
2 WD Raptor 74GB Raid 0
OCZ Gamestream 600w
Tower 120
they already have a newer bios out then what it ships with so that could easily solve the problem
Could solve or does solve?

Oh, thats a pic of my other rig.
picture shows 2.1 version, I think there will not be any A or B version, the 2.1 will be the new retail 975x platinum which support conroe aka power up edition
Cool, looking forward to your results... if you get close to 400 I'm getting one too!
Pics shamelessly stolen from Coolaler (I think):

Thats what I think too. I think the pics which have A or B are not retail boards at all, just pics MSI put but never updated to the latest images.

Layout is perfect except I don't like the 8 pin and 4 pin connectors on the other side of the board like that. I like how DFI put all the connections on the right side of the board so power wires didn't hang over. Made for a clean look. Again the 2 IDE connectors are a plus. If I get to 3.5-3.8 gaming stable on my e6700 with this board I will be happy untill DFI makes a better board...If they make a better board

Oh, thats a pic of my other rig.
anyone know if the 4 Pin 12V will work without problems or it is better to use 2x4 adapter ?
So you are saying that the version I bought from ewiz, one that supports conroe, is the V2.1?
I hope the bios is mature enough for 400+ FSB???
