Nice results

[L'enFer]

VictorWang, could you compare yours Asus Blitz Extreme and P5E3 Dlx in different benchmarks?

[HKPolice]

Why no digital PWM??

[Ace-a-Rue]

i think you are better off without digital PWM, IMO.

True. Digital PWMs are crap in terms of vdroop.

Why? Any links to prove this?

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

WOW it"s very impressive,
thanks alot for sharing all that stuff.

x38 ftw!! Man, when will we ever see conroe's fsb limit?? it just keep going higher and higher with each new chipset!!

Nice! Thanks for your work on this.

Wait, do you need a link? You have my word. I have tested two boards with digital PWM, both were DFI´s. I can tell you that the difference in voltage between idle and load is HUGE.

Nice one m8. But any news on the DDR2 versions?

[noobzed]

hand picked parts

not too hard

how many fans around the rig ... 5 ?

really 25 ambiant temp ? ..

[flpxjs]

very good

test with quad soon

[GLENBOY]

nice one florian and at a high cpu speed as well

[Ace-a-Rue]

any update?...i am anxious to buy one!!!

[Infa]

Only thing i dislike are! 1.70v only?!!? why that?
is it only so people would by the Maximus Extreme?
are there coming any bios release with higher vcore?
i have to go beyound 1.70 to push my 6850...and i really want this board, but 1.70?

[Ace-a-Rue]

if there is almost zero droop for the vcore then 1.7 should be sufficient for most users.

[annaconda]

nice,

The new P35 does not droop so bad...you tested this one?

[Ace-a-Rue]

hmmmmmm...i feel an arm wrestling match coming on!

my P5E3 Deluxe seems to have a problem with high fsb...

test platform

• E6850 @ Air (540 FSB @ P35)
• Asus P5E3 Deluxe Bios 0402
• Cellshock DDR3 1800
• nvidia 6600GT
• IBM 14 GB IDE HDD
• Enermax 400 Watt NT <- maybe the problem?
• Windows XP SP2

9*400; MEM 1:2 runs without a problem prime stable.
But 430 or more the board won&#180;t boot. Multi 6 and 7 tested.

i hope anyone can help me...

[miahallen]

Your PSU should be fine for that rig...unless it's going bad. How old is it?

is the Enermax the same PSU that you used on your P35 board?

i have used an 8 year old Antec 400W PSU to run the QuadGT with my Quad core "B3"...it worked an allowed me to overclock...BUT...not all 400W PSU's are equal in performance!

I'm not 100% sure about this upgrade. It's a nice incremental step, but X48 will probably prove a more solid upgrade. Not sure if this one is worth the platform, switch to DDR3 yet considering that cost. Still, X48 is still several? months off, and impatience is my worst enemy. I'm thinking money is better spent on one of the new November cpu's maybe.
