Scan is going to get reamed by AMD for this...

I don't care as far as they will dispatch my baby today

!

@Macci: Is this board improving mem bandwidth so much compared to 690G as shown in this review?
Any hints regarding tweaking this chipset? Thanks in advance!

Can somebody test this board compared to NF570/590? I heard rumors that AM2+ boards will be few % faster than AM2 with K8 CPU's.

Bit of a change in plan regarding build .. changed case to a Z-Machine (which was the case I was going to get in the first place) and added a Raptor X to the build as well for that extra bling bling and all

Probibly will not get the stuff to build until Friday it would seem .. am rather apprehensive and all as this will be my first rebuild/build in about a year.

Good to her that!

Unfortunately SCAN probably got a message from AMD and my board wasn't dispatched today!

If they will not ship it this week then I'm cancelling my order....

**merlot_14** · 10-17-2007, 09:06 AM

Were are these available at?

Here to my order hasnt gone past stage 2 as yet, I have phoned twice to amend the order(add case,icy box and raptor hd.. all in stock items) so I dont know why its not shipped yet. Hopefully its not becuse the board is being held back or anything.

1st with retail mobo!

I will wait for your tests patiently (but hurry up please!)!

Can you measure memory latency and bandwidth using Everest?

**Psycho_eddie** · 10-17-2007, 11:57 PM

Nice man, i cant wait till the Asus 790 mobo comes out!!

So how does this new chipset compare to the best of the old chipset i.e your old DFI NF590SLI...

Do you find you can squeeze more Mhz on same volts?

3dmark06 score any better on same settings as per NF590SLI mobo?

I know that i wont be going Quad Crossfire anytime soon but they all come with it... so really what other then that feature is the bord better? Spec wise?

PCIE2.0 but that means

all i thought as we not even using pcie1 to full yet?

**BadNizze** · 10-18-2007, 03:32 AM

Sorry I can´t do any more testing right now, I´m only home for lunch... Will do more testing later today. As for better oc, YES this board is much more stabil then my DFI 570/590, Priming know @ 3440 max with other board was 3370 or so.

That's all great news so far!
Best for me today was that SCAN dispatched my Gigabyte!!

Getting it tomorrow... Can't wait!

@Psycho_Eddie: another pros to this boad is low power consumption compared to 590SLI and we don't know yet how crossfireX will turn out....

**mAJORD** · 10-18-2007, 04:23 AM

One on the way here also. They'll be all over the board

**SnipingWaste** · 10-18-2007, 07:41 AM

What sucks is its selling in many parts of the world but not the US.

**mibo** · 10-18-2007, 11:48 AM

BadNizze, could you please check max HT link and base frequency the board can handle (with lowered cpu-multiplier) - even if it might be limited by the cpu.
