New Infinity bios rocks !- 455fsb on orthos blend

[Raja@ASUS]

hi

board revision is A (bottom right corner of mobo)..

Brought from a retailer in the UK, no cherry pick, or review samples, I don't use them. I tried once and the company in question asked for the boards back because I did not spin the super pi ability and said the orthos was a little lower than expected. Reviewing for some companies is basically advertising. I even paid for this Conroe ES I have, all memory and psu too. No review samples I'm afraid, I don't agree with having special smaples that consumers can't touch. The E6600 is the only exception in my rig, being an ES, but some retails weeks have proven to be just as good if not better.

You can check dfi-street for my threads there containing my previous maximums, so it's the bios that's the confirmed champ here.

Only reason I post this stuff is so that some guys here who don't bench too much but still like real stable oc's can know what board provides a real good if not best peformance at the price on the 975 chipset.

Previous max on all other bios was about 385fsb (yes even on phase, on all older bios'x) with my first board, that board maxxed out at around, 450 for bootup (on this bios). Orthos at around 440 with read delay at 6. Never tried at 7 on that board.

This board read delay 6 max out at 445 and read delay 7 is hitting 455fsb as
you can see, Orthos blend stable too..

Only change over retail is the pencil modded vnb to 1.85..

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to clear up that's there's nothing special or cherry picked in my rig.

regards
