DFI Launches the Highly Anticipated LANParty UT NF590 SLI-M2R

[sai]

One question remains for me? WWM what the hell are these glass figures?

Edit: BTW WWM you just helped me with your pics to decide what psu to buy. I was curious what that good looking psu was and just found out that it's the best thing (specs and features) I ever saw

How's the noise on the chipset cooler? It looks like the same fan from the older stock chipset coolers.

He uses those glass figures to copyright his pictures... sometimes those figures brings him luck too!

He was benching with Corsair's latest PSU...

The 620! Nice PSU!

Yeah I already found it and decided to buy it, that's what I meant

[end0]

What I want to know is does the 2 Vitesse Controllers run off the PCI or PCI-Express bus ? :o

[mouawad]

highly anticipated??? i don't know about that to be honest anyone with a current high-end 939/am2 setup should be happy enough but buying new board/cpu's now you'd be crazy not to go intel.

i do like the digital PWM, especially great for us on phase ....cept coldbug still remains.....AMD please remove memory controller from the chip

[Smoken Joe]

Agred that looks like nearly the ideal for mothrboard layout impressive if it works as good as it looks. Tempting even with all the Intel hype and a good AMD MB.

[Baldrick]

AMD please remove memory controller from the chip

That is where the performance comes from, if C2D had an onboard memory controller god knows how it might performs.

It is for AMD fans (don't look at the sig, I didn't pick this one), but don't worry DFI will launch LP nf590 for Conroe also...

DDRII 1005 CL3 3-3-4 achieve?!

Certainly BIOS is the advantage that DFI has been in a leading position all
the time in OC ability , let us preview the LANParty UT NF590 SLI-M2R BIOS
feature more detail



Bios main page














Parameters setting page for CPU , DRAM , north and south bridge .















RAID and Audio page















Page of the voltage per device














CPU voltage control from 1.00000V to 1.60000V














Base on the CPU VID setting you can extra add voltage from +100.1% to
121.1%















DDRII voltage control range from 1.70 to 3.00V

















Memory configuration page















DRAM Driver Strength setting page















Memory Timing setting page part II

















nF590 proprietary EPP ( SLI-Ready Memory ) setting item .
The SLI-Ready memory item can be enable if the DRAM supports EPP ( SLI-Ready memory.)















DFI exclusive function ---> CMOS Reloaded which can save four groups of BIOS setting parameters.

















one more clearer photo of power on logo screen



















Test platform
CPU:AMD AM2 Althon64 X2 4800+
MB: LANParty UT NF590 SLI-M2R
DRAM:Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C3
VGA:ELSA 730GT 256B3 DTV
HD:Seagate 7200.7 80GB
POWER:Corsair HX620W Modular Power Supply
Cooler:Tower112












Friendly user interface of Chipset driver installation software.













High DRAM bus overclocking rate is top criteria for One excellent
overclocking mobo except the extensive one with the voltage and
frequently.

DDRII 800 CL3 3-3-9 1T memory bandwidth















DDRII 800 CL3 3-3-9 1T is steady.
Memory working voltage is 1.93V( Bios set to 2.13V)















Memory performance : DDRII 1162 CL4 4-4-4 2T .
The CPU almost reach limit itself . ( VDIMM 2.17V : BIOS set on 2.29V)
















DDRII 1178 CL4 4-4-4 2T memory bandwidth

















What is the limitation ?
DDRII 1005 CL3 3-3-4 2T is reached!
















SmartGuardian seem show lower voltage than BIOS.
It is quite quiet due to use large-scale copper cooler and control default
rotates speed around 2500 RPM .
Nvidia chipset is well know with high temperature but the actual temperature
still can be control under 55 degrees
DFI implement smart fan control , the fan speed can be adjust between 0 to
6500 RPM






Prove to be DFI LANParty series overclocking blood lineage , It 's different
grade with other AM2 mobo that are used before .
Except DDRII voltage up to 3V can use, The DRAM overclocking can be
easy be achieve with more tight timing and more lower voltage.

To be continue ... 3D performance and EPP technology

Very nice! Looks like this will definitely be the board to have. I especilly like the "value now" side of the bios.

[windwithme]

sorry...error replay

[p0tter]

great review, cant wait til dfi drops the RD600

[Ub3r-L33ch]

Fukk, look at all those BIOS options... you'll be tweaking til you are 60

[Revv23]

Now seeing WWM's results, this board wasnt so bad, hope they get an intel board out soon....


500 3-3-3 is just crazy at 2.2v


what does that ram do in other boards WWM?
