[VictorWang]

first of all , Great thx to my friend who bring me the mobo.

test platform.
Asus P5E3-Deluxe wifi/ap
E6850es E0 @ DI cooling
Cellshocks DDR3-1800 876
Asus EN2900XT
Koolance 1200w PSU


not a serious run, quick test on air and DI(only 1kg left).
the whole running = 1hour only
just to show numbers and let u know that x38 can also reach 600fsb+

[webwilli]

well done

board settings for the 603 MHz FSB?

[`danny]

That's pretty awesome, this chipset is looking more promising by the day

[over@locker886]

Nice numbers Vic!

X38 gave some extra fsb? (vs P35)

[strange|ife]

they hit 600fsb if iam not mistaken on a p35 based board. x38 will clock higher, but i doubt its going to be the miracle worker like so many hope for.

great results though, im sure 650fsb is on the horizon

hiya victor what the max cpu frequency the e6850 run on air cooling on this motherboard , looks a good board this i think it will be the most expensive of the x38 asus lineup, does it have a max vcore of 1.7 , sorry for so many questions , do you like ddr3 memory now you've had cjhance to play around with it

thanks

Glen

[noobzed]

and what max rock stable fsb and freq too ?

[DMH]

And pics??Next time you need to try LN2

[icon57]

great work!

[GAR]

i want these boards to start showing up.

[Boogerlad]

what strap?

victor, love your tenacious overclocking!...you have some amazing results!....BUT...what about a Quad core like the Q6600...i really would like to see that processor used...i've seen to many with the E6850 getting well above 520+ FSB on the P35...a lot of posters here are transitioning to the quad core...can you show us!?

my feelings about x38:
1. chipset more hotter than p35, which means need better cooling on ur NB.
2. need more vNB to achieve 600fsb+ than P35, might be >1.85v
3. ddr3 overclking ability seems a little bit worse than my Asus Blitz Extreme, maybe it's bios issue 'coz it's not finished yet.
4. better inductor/mos than Blitz/Premium, that's a good sign.
5. overclking failure to restart need to be improved. now I need to shutdown my psu and wait until the 5v standby is gone to fire up the system ag.
6. much more ddr3 tweak option. will check if there's any performance gain today.

and I'll test with a 500fsb+ Quadcore and 2900xt Crossfire today to see if any improvments.

the same E6850 on my blitz = 562fsb max on air and 557fsb benchable.
might be the reason of only 2.0v vPLL on blitz.

Thanks for the notes and that is a huge FSB.

Any eta for maximus to hit the north america?

i think might be need another 2weeks.

just dont know why there's only 1slot space between the 2*16X PCIE on both dlx and max

or that's the plan Asus want us to buy both formula and maximus

Thanks notes I wait you other tests..

Can´t wait for my Maximus Formula....

updated some pictures of the mobo.
changes:
1) ADP3228 -- VR
2) ICS9LPRS918HKL -- CG
3) (4*mos+1*inductor)*8 and much more better meterial quality

It seems Yageo R68 and caps really rock.

[Spacemaster]

Deam it is nice, but Victor can you compare super pi with that mb and blitz Extreme, and is mem bandwidth better than P35 blitz if so this will be my next LN2 mb.

[pumbertot]

as above waiting for quad results as who really cares about C2D these days?
seriously though Victor let us see a Quad GO in action.

[eva2000]

FSB all in the cpu but nice

4. better inductor/mos than Blitz/Premium, that's a good sign.

Very promising

[VictorWang]

quadcore 500fsb*8 on air no prob at all.
running better and cooler than Asus Blitz Extreme (before mod).
but can't compete with my moded blitz, hahaha


update:
530fsb stable ON AIR, Max at 538fsb ON AIR.
it's a QUADCORE.
ambient=25c, ultra120 air cooling.

same cpu, same cooling.
515fsb stable on my blitz, 520fsb max.

so...finally we found a HOT SPOT to buy a new mobo

[jugeen]

victor, what is the max RAM freq stable?

that is funny!

thank you for the Quad FSB input....is 500Mhz the max FSB for the Q6600 on the X38?
