timko, how did you know it's a N73?
Yes, 2,65V is the max VDIMM. Other Mem settings? None

day187, I got it from E-Bug.de.

I knew it was your N73 because I was looking through the window when you was taking the pics








Or rather, Opera image properties brings up any embedded EXIF data...




...which shows you eventually pulled out your Canon Powershot A520 for the BIOS shots

eiceman: I bought it for €215 from E-Bug.de, not in stock anymore tho.

timko: Sneaky

mykeos: I think that rather my CPU or RAM will be the wall. As the boar doesn't allow me to use 1:1 and I can't use any multi lower than 9x, I'm afraid I wont even hit 400

It is the bios as you will have issues with certain memory types (OCZ was one of several in my testing with the beta bios) and you will need to use the 8-pin ATX connector on this board. The multiplier lock will be solved in a future bios update along with some additional memory timings. Also, did you disable the EQ settings in the voltage section as that caused overclocking issues in the beta bios. Make sure you set the NB up to 1.85V also due to the 1066 strap overclocking.

I don't mean to question what you say, but how do you know?

With all 975/965 boards on the market, mobo maker should release mobo with near perfect bios....unless end user want to wait for R&D or going through tens of board to find the good ones. If it stuck@XXXFSB then most likely it will be for a while.

I bit ordered one too guess the p5wdh will go back to its home in Tennessee, (already on its way here lol).

Best decision I have seen all day.

Yes, I'm glad I made the decision as well now... though I was just going to pass on it and stick with the p5w originally. A little longer waiting time, plus spending some $$ shipping the p5w back is still worth it for the aw9dmax. Lack of PCI slots aside, its still better than having a feature I didn't want that kept the usb devices on even when pc is shutoff that the p5w does (got alot of stuff thats lit up like USB hardware lock for CAD, and the usual mouse, keyboard).

Mobo came and gone once again, as Newegg is sold out.

Hopefully they don't jack the price. Hey looky what comes with this board, an ATI graphics bridge.

WOW! heh... that's pretty cool... a fun keep-sake if nothing else.

Wow.... dual graphic link? What does it use for? Crossfire or SLI the graphics ?
