[soundood]

sry i am unfamiliar with DFI boards, but where is the sound, does it have a Pci sound card with it?

Yes the UT Model will have a Bernstein Audio Card but this is a Pre-Production Internal Test Sample so we did not get a Swank Box with accessories included Just the Board.


BTW.........UT has Arrived

[Oese]

uh yeah ))))

[Bgriffs]

If it lives up to the legacy of the older UT AMD boards this is going to be amazing. I wonder if they'll produce this or wait for a new NB/SB combo to hit to put out the board. I mean by the time they build it and get it to market it could be about time for a new chipset anyways.

[Oese]

The back (like the plate behind the PWM cooler^^):



strip it down for W/C...



somehow fits in case (leak testing)



and first stability test

[Oese]

first impression is awesome. no problems at first glance and this is during R/D status still. truly amazing^^

2.8g on NB @ 1.4v, couldnt do that with m3h5. 3g is posting but doesnt boot into win even at 1.55v but i think thats the chip^^ wasnt really nb-clock loving on m3h5 too...

[Brother Esau]

Your PCB looks brown in allot of the pictures
Mine is Black

[Oese]

the copper is shining through when theres too much light...

[msimax]

+ For firewire on the board
+ For beter cooling on pwc area

- For cpu socket to close to dimms... very bad for cooling on memmory when coolers like True Black is used on cpu.
- Still only 4+1 digital pwc? or do i have wrong?


Hmm what audio out do it have ?

cpu close to the dimms should help clock the ram good but only one way to find out

arrived today ... I think color scheme is not final but hey... fierce looking xD

do u guys plan on using extreme cooling??

[Oese]

do u guys plan on using extreme cooling??

i'm afraid, not really... i dont have the equipment (when sure i'd like to play around with single stage (before doing ln2 and stuff) a bit xD, but too costly for my needs and time i have to play with it. I focus more on stable everyday OC operation and bios bugs (i can assure those new biosses are awesome quality^^)

Dose the 790FXB-M3eH7 have extra big heat sinks you can attach to the south bridge or mosfets? Looks like you can to me.
You know kinda like the UT 790FX-M2R?

[MBomberZ1]

Oese, what waterblock do you have on your NB? I was looking around for one a while ago and couldn't find anything, people just told me the 790FX doesn't get hot enough to need one. I disagree :P If you dont mind letting me know what brand and which model those blocks are and if there are any others you would suggest that would be awesome. Im currently running a DFI DK 790FXB-M2RSH and it looks like those blocks would carry over? Butttt if this board comes out ill prolly be upgrading to it anyways haha, any ideas on cost?

Bro it took me years to finally go to water cooling. Very worthwhile investment wish I had of done it 4 years ago.

Who uses firewire today?

[Brother Esau]

Who uses firewire today?

Wel if you have a professional audio interface Firewire is just better and has set allocated resources where the Audio interface does not have to compete with USB resources which in return is just better and less prone to lag vs USB

[Oese]

for video as well...

@ Sgt. Ruff: yeah it can be attached on the back of the pwm heatsink, but i dont have it though (as it came totally naked )

@ MBomberZ1: Its from some german guys that handcraft them: http://shop.anfi-tec.de/ its number nbsb014 about 40€ + shipping

I went water 2+ years back and love it, and will never go back on an overclocked system, however for a common desktop, i would stay air.

[knopflerbruce]

I envy you guys...

Will you try some HTT clocking? Good to know how it does on locked chips, too.

[F41NT]

I hope DFI will put out this motherboard... my m2r is waiting for its successor Those DK Boards look very nice, but the look & feel of an UT is important to me ^^

I'd be happy if you could really try if the third x16 Slot can be used if the first and second are set to x16... I'd like to buy an pcie x1 sfx, but on my m2r the third x16 is powered by x0 if i use x16/x16 crossfire


@ Brother Esau: Are your Crucials working good on the M3eH7? I'm wondering about getting some of those...

[Brother Esau]

The CRUCIAL's are working fine. Finally just got boards switched out and just got online with the UT 790FXB-M3eH7

[Oese]

nice cam...

@ knopfler: of course htt clocking must be done xD

[techtrancer]

big up for this mainboard


the AMD OC scene need this board

[Oese]

hi techi nice to see u here )

[SeLecT]

This board looks really interesting! Hope we will see it soon as a retail-board!
