Did you set ACC to auto? Which BIOS version do you use?

I really want to see this thing battle it out with Gigabytes FX on air, ooooooh you have no idea. MSIMAX you have both boards?

Both are in serious need of a BIOS update this week for similar problems with memory/NB/GPU clocking. The current Beta's address most of the problems but not quite all yet, however, we should see public releases later this week or early next. At this point in my testing, flip a coin for the board you like when considering air or standard water cooling.

gonna test pot using dry ice

**crazydiamond** · 03-23-2009, 03:23 PM

is that board having probs w/ mem/nb clocking only under cold or even lower clocks for air?

...and what about the ASUS M4A79T Deluxe?

one thing about that mobo my 790GX from asus offers the same features/volts/mem settings in the BIOS and is alot cheaper using OEM D9JNL i tested up to 1700 CL7 before killing the mobo with some bad DICE ideas

You sure it didnt die cause it was an Asus.

I guess we know who's a big asus fan here

might have been because of my stupidity and putting the pot on to tight

Can never put a pot on tight with my handy dandy revision 2 motherboard backplate

**cdawall** · 03-23-2009, 07:41 PM

well send that with that handy dandy pot of yours :p

Well, unless they get a few fixes in place soon, they are the odd board out right now.

**msimax** · 03-24-2009, 06:40 PM

after i finished testing this board i spoke to chew about the pi performance he said its off alot, also running 3d06 with 3412nb - 3600 yielded no gains @ 4.9ghz so there is a issue with nb performance

and my best pi time@same speed with msi is 13.422, but on the giga the best time was 13.343

so there a performance issue right now but msi has been cranking out bioses so they are addressing issues

Here's a comparison for those that may question my reasons for saying what I say. With the memory and NB speeds being run on those boards, versus the cruddy ram and NB speeds I ran in this bench it should be a landslide and its not...

I have the same exact results with applications ranging from AutoCad 2009 to Sony Vegas Pro 8.1. It simply comes down to the fact that the current platform does just fine with the bandwidth/latency afforded by DDR2 for 95% of us.

So what is the issue at hand with Chew then? I'm right confused.

chew* · 03-24-2009, 09:22 PM

The issue is the ddr III + northbridge speeds should offer I wider margin of performance gap and its not. If i tried really hard I probably could match or beat times.....the performance gap should be wider IMHO, I just dont think due to bios support that clock per clock they have tapped into the performance of the chips yet....that was done on my gigabyte 790GX, PI is its weakest performing bench.

3600NB speeds should shave a few 10ths off 3400 NB speeds and its not.....the efficiency isn't up to par yet.

**Dumo** · 03-25-2009, 06:11 AM

Heres mine, still testing with DI and Asus M4A79T....
