Great review, haven't totally decided yet, but looks like the one. Here's a little bit better price.

For those that are getting this Motherboard and will be using Dual Core on it I urge you to stay away from 12/11/07 Official Bios Unless you have a Phenom!

[Brother Esau]

C'mon Everybody do you're part and help Support and Promote Small Business it is the American Dream after all or its superposed to be at least , Besides Places like New EGG gets enough of our money and they wont treat you with half the respect you deserve like the Good Folks @MotherboardPro.com will

@ZL1Killa............I am glad you took my advice they are some really great people to deal with are they not?

HA HAH Its a Hold Down Bracket for my Tuniq Tower 120 as they do not sell or provide a adequate one for the weight of the cooler for mounting on AM2 Boards!

Naughty Monkey Retention Bracket is Inside Joke

What is that?

[BadNizze]

You know Brother Esau, now that you showed me that bracket you have to make two! One for me and one for youreself Great work! Should work on both my tuniq and Enzotech!

[ZL1Killa]

what have been the NB and SB temperatures on this thing?... wondering if it is necessary to WC it? and why does newegg list this thing as AM2 only... its an AM2/AM2+ board....

[Brother Esau]

The Tempretures are really good on this board .....In 76F Ambient PWM/Idle = 34 PWM / Load 42c NB/Idle = 36c NB / Load 44c

[Piotrsama]

Now that's what I call a wide thread

[BadNizze]

The Tempretures are really good on this board .....In 76F Ambient PWM/Idle = 34 PWM / Load 42c NB/Idle = 36c NB / Load 44c

Are youre board in a closed case? Youre NB temp is a good, 15C lowerd then mine. Also PWM is 10C less on youre board.

Thats not me Bro thats all JIMMYZ and his Craftsmanship Thats good because JIMMYZ is designing and will be selling some Custom Made Tech Station and homie does some really good work and will be looking forward to getting mine that is for sure

System is in my Case Fully Enclosed;)

[KTE]

Very nice, props!

Comon now, DDR-1350 4-4-4-4 ... bandwidth/latencies

You should do it with ease. Ballistix 8500 can do 650.

[Brother Esau]

Some OGG Encoding Results.......AMD 6400+ @3.2ghz & 3.5ghz vs Q6600 @2.40ghz & 3.55GHZ on D.F.I LanParty UT P35-T2R
As you can see even the outdated old Technology from AMD is still a major contender in allot of instances OGG & FLAC Encoding being only a couple and it takes quite a bit of Megahertz from the Rival Intel to show any substantial lead and even then we are not talking but a few seconds difference

[Nedjo]

Bro Esau, this OGG bench looks interesting, but could you please elaborate a bit methodology and results?

[Brother Esau]

No Particular Method Justt a side by side comparison on AMD Dual Core CPU against Intel Quad Core CPU at same clock rates all settings are the same in Windows/Winamp for tests

Major problem with this mobo and 12/11/2007 (I presume that's American way of saying it's from December eleven)

This is the story:
Vista 64, X2 5000+ (rev F3.)

With all four DIMM's populated (4x1GB@800 MHz) Vista crashes or BSOD failed blaming the ATI Catalyst drv!!



And as a bonus GigaLAN's don’t work!!
I've tried BallistiX PC2-6400 EPP (effectively DDR2-1000 sticks), and Kingmax DDR2-1066 sticks! Same story
Important notice: it makes no difference if it is single 3870 or CF 3870!

This is the major one and we need ASAP new BIOS!!

With Phenom ES 9700 I'm getting constant "C1" errors with all of mentioned sticks + Corsair Dominator DDR2-1066. Even with just one stick populated!
This behavior makes this awesome mobo Lamborghini with just two tiers!
