790i ULTRA SLI + E8500 + kingpin F1 EE + Corsair Dominators + LN2 = 5.7GHz benchmarks

[dinos22]

of course i am going to

i am not someone's show pony

i've received boards from nvidia in the past as i have some graphics cards. They were nothing special compared to rest of the boards ppl were getting

if you have some proof i am asking you to provide it .......... otherwise you are wasting your breath with your tin foil arguments and don't clog up my thread with it.

Did you create that quote or what. i can't even find that on the forum mate

[Big Myke]

ah, the quote was from another forum about this particular thread. I hope you are right about the motherboards or any other hardware for that matter that you receive are nothing but ordinary from nvidia. cheers.

[dinos22]

i am right

look under my created threads history and compare that against other ppl >> LOL you would laugh how crappy my 8800GT cards OC compared to others .> max bench i can get on them is 700/1750/999 on '01/'06 and i had to reduce RAM OC to something stupid like 930 or 940 to get them stable through '03 and '05 LOL> now you tell me is that special or what (2xcards brother and same crappy clocks )

please link to your source from forum discussing this

[T_M]

LOL, Dino does get handpicked stuff but he just doesnt know how to use it well :P

Heheh just jokes bro

[dinos22]

good point dude

Nice one Dinos mate, these are looking good.

Looking forward to more results when you can provide em.

[Achill3uS]

congrats mate (better late than never), really nice mobo you have in your hands
did you test some max fsb on lower multi under ln2?

[dinos22]

i tried higher FSB boot at lower multi while i was finishing up with no more ln2 splashes just to see what it can do and could not improve results. i actually just realised that since i haven't bench with nvidia boards seriously for a long time i got a few things mixed up.........one was MCP and SPP

good to see that SPP volts helped me scale FSB

my MCP were on auto and bios was showing 1.4v so gotta check now to see whether more gains can be had..... should be interesting finding this out

i will also try using that nvidia FSB software again with IDE drive. (had some issues on air cooling once i pass 570MHz FSB with one of my worse FSB OCers where the refersh rate on the screen was going a bit whacko (funny enough i had the same issue benching on P5B DLX) and see how far above 600 i can go

only issue now is finding a chip that can handle cold well

[TheKarmakazi]

Good luck on your search for a cpu man. i cant believe the sticker shock of the QX9770, i could sell all 10 of my cpus and MAYBE have enough for one of those.

[dinos22]

just saw your sig
you an aussie i assume (lol didn't realise we have a new member in Team.AU hehehe)

just have that Englishman in New York song playing in my head hahahah

(i am actually quietly looking forward to P45 chipset >> i have a REAL good feeling about this one )

[SKYMTL]

NDA has lifted. Where are the results?

[BenchZowner]

AnandTech will probably have a review up at around 19:00 GMT

[cky2k6]

anyone want a xfx 680i and some ocz ram? lol, this is definitely my next board, 680i is alright, but it just runs too damn hot.

[dinos22]

OK i've just done some SuperPi testing


i've got all the settings listed in screenshots

P1 and P2 i am referring to are new RAM settings which have been included with the latest BIOS nvidia uploaded a couple of days ago

They give a massive RAM boost and i tell you what....this board isn't too shabby for superpi as well . This is definitely good news for 3D guys as well because 680i and 780i boards were not as good as this

[massman]

Holy crap!

[dinos22]

well i did try to tell you

[massman]

What is the real technical name for P1 and P2?

[proxis]

same as transaction booster @ asus ?

[3oh6]

thank-you very much for the 32M testing Dinos...much appreciated. looks about bang on with P35 performance at those clocks. well, without the fun ratios you have on this board

now, to justify the almost $400 it will be after taxes...oh right, crazy DDR3 clocks

[dinos22]

cheers guys

yeah have to ask what the heck P1 and P2 are

[Misko]

nice work dinos22 beautiful chipset from nvidia

[dinos22]

did some high FSB (595MHz) 3D testing on SS

[Harshal]

Very nice, Dinos Thanks for sharing
Also the Newer BIOS options makes this board most wanted now

[cky2k6]

i wonder though, since I don't really want to buy a new cpu, how does this chipset clock with kentsfield? I realize its a moot point since it will most definitely do 400fsb, but it would be nice to push it with a low multi. I even somewhat take back my nvidia bashing, and might even start benching again. As soon as the boards drop to below 300, I'm set...
