{Review} ~ D.F.I LANPARTY UT 790FX-M2R ~ "Unleashing The Beast"

[Brother Esau]

I stated earlier in the thread that users that are Running Dual Core CPU should avoid 12/11/07 Bios as its Buggy as Hell and Unless you have "Phenom" use the 11/22/07 Bios I have made R-Gone aware of issues surrounding this Bios which he has passed on to Taiwan

Whooops you have a PHENOM Go Back to 11/22/07 Bios anyways I myself Told RGone that Random C1 Errors amoungst other problems were the let Down and Bummer with the 12/11/07 Bios


For those of you who own this DFI 790FX-M2R Motherboard and are Running a Dual Core Cpu ....Please use 11/22/07 Bios

[flippin_waffles]

Has anyone tested using the turbo button in AOD? I remember macci pointing to it in one pic he posted. Nathan mentions it too.

The New Beta Version of AMD Overdrive seems to be allot more receptive on 11/22/07 Bios then the Previous versions no hard lock just opening it up at least...................SO FAR!!!!

[Brother Esau]

Will be continuing Testing on this Board with "New" HIS HD3870 when it arrives and show you boys some results comparisons of Single HD 3870 vs 2X HD 3850 CROSSFIRE................Stand By to Stand by

Time to get Mid Evil on these ~Cell Shock ~ Sticks and Blow some Sh**t Up!!!

[quake6]

Could you post some more testing with mbo,maybe max fsb,some memory tweak and something like that...This look like cpu vs. cpu

[Brother Esau]

Yea man I'm getting around to all of it please be patient there is a learning curve with all of the settings in Bios and it is a New Architecture and all

Why what was the matter with the Intel Fanboys choking on some numbers for a change? They act like AMD is good for nothing and I just proved that aint so! Anybody that anybody that Encodes Music just about always does it in OGG or FLAC that is if you like and appreciate the Best Sound Quality.

Just to let you know AMD does not take advantage of High FSB like Intel does and it Means "MOOT" other than to say I have 500 FSB DUDE!....LOL

[quake6]

I know that AMD doesnt make advantage of high FSB,but I´m just curious what mbo is capable...

[Nedjo]

What's really annoying about this mobo is that distinctive buzzing sound coming from the coils around memory slots!

It really hurts seeing ultra modern 7-phase Digital PWM on the one side of the mobo, and non-sealed coils from the Jurassic age, by the DIMM's!

[DevilCry]

Oh man!!!I have a sapphire 790fx mobo and i have the same "problem".this sound is extremely annoying!!I already asked here if anyone was having the same problem

[Brother Esau]

I don't have that issue with the Buzzing noise and the first board did not have it either.

[Nedjo]

I've flashed BIOS 11/22/2007, and now all of my 4 GB are working fine, with CF working properly as well as LAN...

I just hope that DFI will ASAP launch new revision that will fix BIOS from December.

[Brother Esau]

Personally the 12/11/07 Bios is a Alpha Bios "Not" Official and they had no business putting it up under that pretense.

Also the New AMD Overdrive Beta does not work properly with 11/22/07 Bios because of the Bios its self.

[ZL1Killa]

keep it coming campbell. i'm about to re-vamp my whole watercooling setup tonight or tomorrow morning. putting in a thermochill 120.3 with my current mcr220

[Brother Esau]

Will be getting the "New" Graphics Card on Tuesday and have sold the set of POWERCOLOR HD 3850's to Freeloader along with my D.F.I LanParty UT P35-T2R which is a pity but I guess sometimes we can only get what we need

But the Single HD 3870 will allow me to confirm something with this board also too!

Anyway about CROSSFIRE I have found that Unless you have both Bridges Hooked up on the Cards you take a Massive Point hit in Benches!

Will be getting my NAUGHTY MONKEY RETENTION BRACKET for my Tuniq Tower 120 from JIMMYZ in a couple of days and he is Making 10 of them so anybody that is Interested in them you can Post in here or Contact JIMMYZ Directly for Info

Mine did the same thing, and I RMA'd it back to DFI. They did not seem surprised at all that I was sending it back for this issue. Hopefully the new one they send me will be fixed.

Didn't think there were ten people in the world that could make use of it. J/K

D.F.I // Needs a Full Bios Make over compared to whats available as this Board needs it Bad

[DevilCry]

Something strange just happend..I just installed a friends 3800x2 on my board.This sound ...i can't here it anymore!.!So 3Tripnip and Nedjo, which cpu did u have with the board???

[Brother Esau]

Double post but OK.........I did not get that noise even on the first board which had issue and don't get it now..........Telling you straight bro

[DevilCry]

Double post?...Maybe is something to do with the 6000+ cpu N' this board...i just trying to figure this thing out

[Brother Esau]

Right now doing some testing............... 3400mhz X10 800HT Ram @1140mhz all on Stock Board Voltage Except for Vcore @ 1.4125 Vdimm @ 2.14

Just passed 10hrs Prime 95 3350MHZ @ those settings lets see if Under Volting is the trick to success with this board


@DevilCry.....Its cool man thats why I answered here too

[Nedjo]

I'm running X2 5000+ with 3870 in CF...

Double post?...Maybe is something to do with the 6000+ cpu N' this board...i just trying to figure this thing out

Hey just a thought how good is your PSU? The 6000+'s like to have plenty of juice...Sometimes when you dont have enuff Vcore or when the PSU is maxed under load// High Overclock it can cause wierd sounds through the system board/Chokes..It can even Emit this dredded freqency/EMI through the sound card...Sometimes this Higher EMI is what you hear coming from the Chokes/Coils..Chokes that sqeel/Vibrate more from being stressed can be transmitted when there isnt enuff juice for the core. Thuse making the Vcore or power signal dirty under stress/High Oc. When the chokes work more becuase the CPU is eating all the Avaliable power.The lowest Vcore setting for the Overclock sometimes is not good in this case or on a 6000+..

Also Make shure all Spread spectrums are DISABLED. S/spectums will try to reduce power when enabled and create the very issue.This can happen on almost any board...My M2N32 would do this if i did not run enuff vcore through the 6000+, But my 5600+ was fine with the same Vcore !..Its apower consumption thing with the 125watt chips..Remeber thats @3.0ghz...When you Oc it to 3.5ghz it gets worse when slightly undervolted for the Given freqency.

I could be wrong but this is what ive seen after running 3x6000+"s and 2x5600+'s on this mobo They are power hungry chips and even when a 750+PSU is used it can still do this...The harder the CPU works with lower Vcore the more likely you will hear the sounds in Chokes and sometimes in your audio signals from the Extra EMI being produced from the Chokes/coils.

[Brother Esau]

Got hosed by Tiger Direct with supposed 2 day shipping and will be getting the HIS HD 3870 Tomorrow
But on a very Bright note: the 12/21/07 Beta Bios Release is really turning out to be quite a impressive bios showing great promise in many respects

This what i miss about you bro in the DFI P35 thread
