RD600 first look and general questions

[Kin Hell]

I found out what works.

Once you find stable voltage settings for where you are reset cmos, and apply your overclock. There is a much better chance that the oc will be accepted and boot into windows.

Every time you oc too far and crash, reset cmos. Don't just change bios settings without reseting cmos, the board hates this

Also using 111 PCI-E frequency seemed to add some stability. NB def needs at least 1.45~1.48v to push a decent FSB. Max boot from bios so far was 439x9 @ 1.45v.

I am gonna try a little 3D now

I have been able to run the Crucial up too 523mhz still at 4-4-4-18 1T timings.

Have you tried Sync at this FSB? If so, do you see any Bandwidth Differences in Sisoft Memory & if so, take note of the bandwidth Efficiency?
It would be some real valuable information to know!
*edit* Dpends on your ram spec/timings...of course & thanks in advance.

Just to add, on the Beta Bios .041, I have now manged to 3DMark 01 (without crashing) @ 380fsb 1:1 with board Voltage defaults except for PCIe being set @ 1.34. I noticed the FPS in key areas of the bench was down & yet I whopped my biggest score ever of 53870. I just cant get 400 stable cos my 4300 is crapping out @ 1:1 1T. Compared to BA2 v505, this RD600 board puts the Intel board to shame. Thanks DFI...just keep the bios updates coming..we need em.
& why when at 400 fsb when you Restart Windows; "Does the PC loose Sync with your monitor * you have to pres the Reset button to get POST & Boot again? It does this with the Official 22/12 Bios as well as the .041 Beta Bios. The 041 Beta Bios is tricky to catch the Bios entry....hit the key too many times & it cr4ps out to a blank screen!?
