Wow nice.
Coolaler what have you done to the tower 120 ? tilted fan to get air away from 7900gtx cards ? going to take the top of mine today and mount some antivibration stuff between the fan and cooler

[Richard Dower]

Yes I know it's not Sli.But one of the sites I looked at showed it still came with Sli bracket and bride in the box.
Scroll to the bottom of the page to see them.

I got no SLI bridge or bracket in my UK retail version....what the hell???

It's a Thermaltake Sonic Tower, not a Sunbeam Tower 120.

[qballe]

max fsb bench ?

[Super Nade]

If so, then you should be able to get Crossfire to work as well. I'm curious to know what speeds those PCIE links are at, 8x each or something asymmetric?

i have seen p5wd2's come with sli brigdes . man i wish it supported sli without hacked drivers oh well looks like i need to get the 590 chipset dfi board

8x/4x

Yah, try setting more than +.5mV (2.3vDIMM) in BIOS, see what happens. (WONT BOOT)


Or, better yet, try going over 1.6Vcore, see what happens.
(WONT BOOT)



Anyway, dont trust the BIOS screen shots. Gigabyte released a motherboard that isnt exactly functional yet.

Allendale E6300=FSB of 475++++
Conroe E6600/E6700=FSB of 400 if you are lucky.


COOLALER, if you have any contacts at GIGABYTE plz help us out.

Had a chance to test a 7950gx2 on the DQ6 yet? Also, did you have to remove the crazy cool heatsink to get the bracket of your heatsink on? If so, did your northbridge temps seem to go up much?

crazy cool easily comes off... doesnt seem to really do anything.


The BIOS just sucks, the board seems good. I am able to overclock E6600 to 3900mhz on air, super pi 1M stable. Cant boot past 400Mhz in BIOS, but in windows no problem.

Pretty impressive stuff, just a LOT more to be desired.


DQ3/4 or 6 would be nice boards for E6600, kinda hard to max out the FSB with an E6600 b4 you would max out the chip on air.


Anyway, Imma go throw the E6700, see how she does.

[tvdang7]

now at least we get some goodies for the price we pay

[Jazz]

Has anyone tested a 7950GX2 on one of these?

[Scarlet Infidel]

Don't count on that, in the UK we haven't been getting any (which im pleased about).

[coolaler]

Oh no , the goodies are not bundled - this is just something I put in

[railer]

Now how am i going to overclock my conroe without a magic sucer ball

i am not saying this with any sarcasm...want to find out if i "need" this board to be paired with my E6600...

you say that you are not happy with the bios...but...it is fine with the E6600...which is it!...i can't imagine your description of the bios as "sucks" as being compatible with any conroe processor.

again, not critical...just an enquiring mind wants to know

PS....Anandtech review kind of agreed with you about bios...but in the end they blamed it on a flaky board instead of the bios.

[Richard Dower]

LOL!...so the football stuff dosen't come with the retail, but what about the SLI bridge...did that come with it?

[kais]

no, they're hacked why would there be an sli bridge in an intel chipset board?

[Richard Dower]

Because of this review:

[kais]

never trust reviews, and second, thats just weird, stupid a** liars :/

[Ace-a-Rue]

Allendale E6300 hits 501MHz FSB w Gigabyte 965P-DQ6!!

http://vr-zone.com/?i=3848

[mike]

Do I understand it correctly - Coolaler actually has an official driver from Nvidia that supports SLI ( and not a hacked one ) and allows the PCI-E to run 8x / 8x on the 965 chipset ???? And the CF - SLI support is only dependant on licensing agreements???

[k0nsl]

Yes you are reading it right, but CPU-Z isn't...

-k0nsl

Am I reading that CPU voltage right? 2.375??

Have you tried bios F3a? I've got this board coming on Tuesday so I'd be interested in your results with your e6600.

Any updates on this coolaler?
