[UPDATE]abit AW9D-MAX first result

[coolaler]

some guys want me to test retail CPU
let me share my experience
in fact, you can go to higher FSB of retail CPU than FSB of ES CPU
and some retail CPU have better oc potentiality than reversion s5 of ES CPU.
Also, I don't have retail CPU now .. that's it

Thank you for your results coolaler... I am new here and appreciate the tests that you and many others run.

delete it

Thanks for the review coolaler, always appreciated

[nooh]

Thankyou Sir coolaler.

great stuff, this review has shown me the true potential of this board, would have never considered it otherwise.

I like the 6 port raid setup as well, even better then the asus ws pro boards!!!

thanx!

Nice board and result's. Try to max FSB with retail CPU

Oh sory

Ok try max FSB with ES cpu

[Plaicd]

It looks like it runs the memory at the 4:5 ratio at 400fsb ok something my P5w-dh wont do

I think ABIT needs to give us first dibs on this mobo

Its definitly my motherboard of choice come Sept 15th.

And I do have question about this board, if you have ram that needs 2.1V will this mobo "auto detect" that voltage or is the default 1.8 ??

I really don't want to have problems with my OCZ Platinum w/ this board but I'm sure I will

[K.I.T.T.]

Coolaler, could you try seeing the maximum FSB you can get with E6400 at 7x?

hey.. you are a pro...when I use my ab9 pro, it will set the default frequency of memory to 266mhz. After that, it will boot up with default 1.8v, and I can enter into bios to set the voltage and the frequency that I want.

Guys, guys, remember, this isnt event he release bios! These arent event he release colors either! (i hope...)

What does "you are a pro" mean? And I asked the question because some rams don't function at 1.8

pro = profession

I thought that there were not too many people know the regulation of voltage. That's why I call you pro...

[Sanborn]

...... I guess I was confused (and still am) by the way you are wording things. I'll just let it go.

LOL Thats common knowledge to just about everyone here I think.

ok .. maybe everyone here are profession ..

Sounds reasonable to me.

Don't sweat strange wordings, people on XS are from all over the world-and english isn't everyone's first language here, or even their second language.
Sometimes it's hard to remember that the internet isn't just where you are. And I'm sure if I went on a french language forum and attempted to post in really really bad french (seriously, I could never figure out how to modify the base words for the tenses, so all my tenses would likely be wrong) I'd probably do a lot worse than most international posters do here.
"Baisez vous! Je suis tekdemon de la etats unis!" (See, it's already gramatically wrong)

[Sanborn]

I'm fully aware

[nooh]

man thanks for uploading your work , we should be gretful for whatever he has to offer , this helps us consumers to get the right board , thanks coolaler , keep up the work you do.
