Any idea of other settings over/undervolting?

Vcore is more Stable like on a P5WDH jo set 1,6 and you get 1,6 idle droop is around 0.01 -0.02 V

Fugger...

Did you already test any workstation 975x from asus?

P5WDG2-WS or P5W64 WS ???

Would be nice a compare of both

**Charles Wirth** · 09-20-2006, 11:18 AM

Yea, I tried the DH and found it un-useable for my setup. I needed 4 SATA pots off the ICH7R and the power down on restart problem over 333FSB was too annoying.

**Fr3ak** · 09-20-2006, 11:40 AM

Thats the only thing I hate about the board. So annoying when you are looking for max oc.
Cant be good for my pump too :/

**Charles Wirth** · 09-20-2006, 11:53 AM

I cannot get the driver to load on the 7950GT's in SLI. Suggestions??

I have been in the .inf and it has the entries for the card from the standard assignment of cards in the list.

**itznfb** · 09-20-2006, 12:12 PM

which drivers are you using?

91.33 won't work...
you need 91.47 or higher

With SLI on Intel u can't use non Hacked drivers

**Charles Wirth** · 09-20-2006, 01:05 PM

Yep .47

It does not find the video card and fails to install. With the GX2 it will state what the card it found is. I need to try the cards on a diff mobo later.

I forgot to mention, no LOD adjustments were used on any 3D benchmark. Lack of known tweaks = the low Nature on the X1900 CF setup. Those were all straight up runs. I could squeeze quite a bit more points out but it would not be a true representation of what you could get out of the box.

**itznfb** · 09-20-2006, 02:40 PM

you try 92.91?
i think i used 92.91 when i got 2 7950gt's working. neither card was mine though, so i can't retest to confirm

i may have used "non-official" chipset drivers, i can't remember though. i'll dig through my files and see if i can find anything.

edit: coolaler has them doesn't he?

2edit:

nm i found them, YGPM

Nice review Fugger! Me wants this one

as sold P5B-Dlx last week

**mr_knowitall15** · 09-21-2006, 11:35 AM

lookin good! Whats the highest the fsb will go at any multi fugger? I am able to get a really good deal on a 6600, 6700, and even the X6800. If this board is capable of 4 Ghz with the 6600 (450 fsb) im totally sold!
Glad to see Abit is back as a real player again! (IC7 series FTW)

**SLi_dog** · 09-21-2006, 06:16 PM

FUGGER or Kabauterman, any chance of getting copies of the additional BIOS'?

Fugger, pls confirm that the Abit board you're using does NOT have the power down on restart like the Asus board?

Thank you

**b0bd0le** · 09-21-2006, 11:03 PM

i guess i'll buy this board

what's the best ram for this fugger?

**Charles Wirth** · 09-21-2006, 11:10 PM

Right now D9 based ram works best.

awesome, thanks for the quick reply

would my assumption that this board would max out my retail 6600 be correct? How's the performance with the 9x multi?

**Charles Wirth** · 09-21-2006, 11:28 PM

I would say with phase 3.6~3.8Ghz would be about the max bench speed and the screen shot of 4Ghz might be possible.

8x would be too low, 9x or 10x would about right.

**Kabauterman** · 09-22-2006, 01:45 AM

FUGGER do you know somthing about the next BIOS versions
when do they come

**Charles Wirth** · 09-22-2006, 02:01 AM

Nope, but they know what we need.

**itznfb** · 09-22-2006, 02:23 AM

hey FUGGER did those drivers work?

**Bootsy** · 09-22-2006, 03:48 AM

Fugger thanks for the 411 on this board!! I got mine wednesday and so far I like.
I can run my 6800 superPi stable up to 4.1 (my DFI crapped out around 3.9).
However, I cant get my memory to run any higher than 375 1:1. Do you think its my mem?( 3gb Mushkin Extreme DDR2 667) I am running the beta bios by the way and tried all combinations 1gig, 2gig , 3gig.

Which catalyst did you use? I cannot activate properly CF in Nature 2001 with cat above 6.6. Tried every tweak: AI, Mipmap, etc,etc

With Cat 6.6 or below CF works like a charm in Nat / 2001
