DFI SB750 boards, more scuttlebut.. NOW WITH DFI LINKS

[SocketMan]

wow thanks a lot...I was wondering the same thing when I looked at my bios...I was like...why was there just a few options....didn't know about that child-lock feature.....what bios are you using? I've updated mines to the latest beta bios they have on the site..

I think it's the same one:
09/18/2008

One minor issue: the 0 DID under the cpu feature, it should be 1, but 0 is the one that works properly.
Like the M2r it also has the "normal" multiplier for the cpu which
overrides the HEX. The NB is adjustable via HEX as well,and seems to work as it should.

[Final8ty]

I think they're not doing a "UT" because is costs more to make and does not
sell as well. When there are "similar" (read identical) boards come out at the same time (like M2R and M2Rs) most people buy the m2rs and DFI needs to make money.
Also I think (many would disagree ) that the M2R was an overkill
in terms of the kind of power it can handle
Besides SB600 and SB750 is "pin compatible" is it not?
Who knows maybe some one can flip the SB's and mod the BIOS, and
make it XSTREME

The only reason why the M2Rs sold more than the M2R is because the cheaper M2Rs existed in the first place.

Many of the same people who bought the M2Rs would of coughed up for the M2R regardless of needing the extra features.

6 sata v 4 / 7 phase v 5 / digi diog are the main things that were important to me.

I fear that if there are some good clocking chip turning up that keep scaling with more Vcore that the 10 phase Asus could take the crown over the 5 phase motherboards, even in the 939 days Asus had 6 phase on the high end.

The DFI with out doubt is the best laid out boards there is & the bios is the best once you get used to it, i just hope that they don't shot there self in the foot in the long run by skimping on the phases.

Although I already ordered my 790FXB, Im still waiting for Asus to come with a ROG RD790/SB750 board. Im at least curious what they'll offer since their ROG line seems to be doing very good, but it comes with a price.

But as I said earlier, if Asus comes with a ROG RD790/SB750 board with some killer features and same sort of lay-out and color scheme as their last few (uber priced) Intel boards, Im going to buy one for sure. But the fact they only released two ROG boards for AM2+ thus far with only nVidia chipsets... It makes me worried a bit if we'll see one anyway

Nonetheless I think upcoming DFI boards will be decent enough to OC Phenom. In the end, no matter how Agena B3 has improved thus far, no matter how good SB750 helps, Agena B3 hits a wall on normal cooling for 24/7 stability, so maybe those phases are thus far more than enough really.

seeing if they truly have it in stock (it says 1-2wks on header page, but then when you click in, says it ships within days). if they have it, ill order it, and hopefully the games will begin again!

I'm with you completely. I have the M2R (best mobo I might have ever owned, and I've owned hundreds). I would definitely have done another DFI at the high end if they did mega power, but I went for the Asus M3A79-T this time for 790FX/SB750.

No real regrets so far, but sure wish I coulda got a similar DFI. Their BIOS work on the M2R was extraordinary, they had lots of releases, communicated with their customers somewhat, and fixed things quickly. Asus is slower than snake snot

done. they had 10 left when i called. now i s'pose they have 9 left.

DFI LP DK 790FXB-M2RSH. Paid slightly more then what I wanted, but thats ok. Will sell off the UT board (i used it for no more then 2-3 months).

will report back once it's installed, etc.

I thought for a day that my 790gx died -just kept giving me the C1,turns out
it's the 9850 and not the board. I put it on the C3 suspend thern turn it back
on and noticed that Everest is reading fsb160 and some other weird values,
AOD was reading 3130 one one of the cpu cores and RAM at 666\
so anyway I press OK on the AOD (big mistake I think) then hit restart windows and that was it for the X4.
Didn't even push the damn thing,still had the stock cooler on it,not even prime time. Guess it's RMA time.

[nuts24]

Ebuyer should have the new DFI motherboards listed in the next few days. DFI told me that the UK will have stock by the end of the week. So with any luck we should start seeing this board listed on Monday.

[Glow9]

Is the Digital pwn one or a version of it going to come out? Be nice so no potential for DFI Squeeling. Also why hasn't DFI actually updated there website so it doesn't look like a 12 year old designed it?

I have the JR here since a week or so had no time to test it's oc cappabilities. I bought it because i thought it's perfect for a small powerfull desktop machine.
I mounted it in an X-Qpack2 (thanks SocketMan for mentioning it) with an Seasonic 330W PSU an 9850BE and 2x1GB GSkill 1GB 8500PK's.
I used the stock cooler because there was not enough room for the XIG with fan's (XIG works fine as a passive cooler in the same case with an GBT 780a board and an 4850e btw).
Then I installed Vista Businness 64bit and ran prime95 with everything at stock and no CnQ. Result 70° chipset temps. Ehm, I'm at stock. Not that I expected a perfectly cool chipset but 70° at stock is .

Newegg has the DFI LP DK 790FXB-M2RSH now. Expensive, way more than the original M2RS. $175... bummer, not for me. Could have another Asus 79-T for that money just about (I got in on that $165 deal a few weeks back!)

Yea I have a fan blowing on it,maybe the contact is not too good between
the heat pipes and the chip set.Even with an add on VGA it's still hot.
Be careful with C3 (suspend to ram) I did that ,then run AOD ,didn't change
anything just pressed OK. Then restarted and - haven't seen my 9850 since
Think it's dead,didn't work in the M2r either,just C1 in both boards
F9 for extra settings btw,I do like the board however.

I have the board on water atm and placed an 10cm 3000rpm fan on top of the pwm hsf. Tems are ~40°C now. From an uATX board i'd expect pwm temps ~50°C under load at stock.
AOD does not seem to be as stable as on the GBT790GX. It's having trouble calculating the correct cpu voltage after modifications. At least you can RMA that chip I'd say. On the 790FX an 9500 and an 9850BE died. I have not yet managed to kill a chip just by overclocking.
F9 is important without not much fun. But no separate NB voltage control is not so nice. On other GX boards I was able to apply above 1.6V for the cpu and the system still was prime stable, the NB topped out around 1.55V. Of course I can overvolt the cpu by increasing the CPU VID in AOD separate but i'd like to see CPU and NB VID fields on the CPU page.
I hit the same limit on that board under water that i hit on the GBT and ASRock 790GX 9950BE@3343MHz max.

Right I'm looking for an AMD motherboard as I want to build a rig around the Phenom. I want to use a board with the SB750 and so far in the UK all I've managed to find is a Gigabyte 790GX and the Foxconn A79AS (I think thats right.)

I've used Gigabyte before but don't really fancy forking out over £100 on a Gigabyte, plus its the GX model which only has two PCI-E slots and seeing as I have been given a free 4850 I wouldn't be adverse to buying two in the future for tri crossfire. The Foxconn is the board I originally wanted to go for but its just too expensive as I'm going to have to buy a CPU to go with the board (everything else I have covered apart from a copy of windows.)

I have just spotted the DFI LAN Party DK 790FXB-M2RSH up for grabs in a shop but it doesn't have any product specs, pics or anything. It just says there are 10 in stock. It's going for just over £100 which I think is fair but I just have one or two questions regarding it.

1) Does anyone have it? Is it a decent motherboard, I've never had a DFI before so don't know what to expect.
2) Memory compatibility, after having a ball ache with some OCZ and a Black Ops, is this board going to get on with the Crucial Ballistix memory I have or do I need to get some new memory?
3) I am assuming because I can't get a picture that the board layout is similar to the other DFI 790FX's and would allow for three GPU's with dual slot coolers is it the case with this model?
4) Deneb, If I wanted to go upgrade in the future to a Deneb CPU would that be possible? I'm assuming it would be as AMD seem to be really good with backwards comaptibility since the 939 incident (a 3400 939 was the last AMD CPU I ever bought.)

I'm sorry if these questions seem stupid or if I seem to be trying to railroad this thread. Thats not my intention I just want to get peoples feelings on this board as I need a new one fairly soon and thought this thread looked like a decent place to ask rather than starting a new one.

1) Look two posts before yours.
2) DFI boards have been picky with memory in the past, but the model you're looking at is too new to really make any judgements.
3) http://www.dfi.com.tw/Upload/Product...FXB-M2RSH1.jpg
4) I'd put 99% probability on Deneb being supported.
