DFI-LP UT 790FX-M2R Picture

[Brother Esau]

Oh please..... these are the same Idiots that said just one year ago that Intel Sucks and AMD Rules

Contrary to what the general consensus may be my opinion is this everything as of late since switching from AMD to Intel which equals 3 different platforms and 8 motherboards later have all been flawed or inadequate in some respect and the truth be told about my opinion is this 3 Platforms 8 motherboards all Intel in 7 months and.....(1)..D.F.I Lanparty UT Expert Opty 170 @ 2.85ghz 24/7 for over one year and still kicks the crap out of whats available Currently less Encoding Music and synthetic benchmarks

So as you see kids Performance means "MOOT" if its not Reliable!!!!!

[SOLDNER-MOFO64]

well....you get my vote. Nice to see someone being truthfull.

You should count yourself lucky though, there's a guy here in the INTEL CLUB who's switched 17 socket 775 mobo's looking for a faster Pi time

Now THAT's what I call performance

He'll tell you he was just trying dif mobo's for the hell of it since he has cash hangin' out his ass, but we all know it's because every single mobo has had probs or failed or died.

INTEL POWA

Like you say, I'm sitting here on my old ULTRA-D which I gave to my girl and it's running my old 3500 winny at 2800mhz for over 2yrs now..(3106mhz MAX)...after I had water running down the mobo a year ago.....I put 1.90v into my 3500 winny (which it kinda didn't like) but it still runs fine....it never fails this mobo....ever....end of.

Now THAT's build quality.....and it cost me less than the junk INTEL boards do NOW....2yrs later

I can't wait to get my hands on this new DFi........it's gonna be awesome.

[JohnMike]

Listen kid if I want you're opinion on anything I'll give it to you

Yeah, I imagine you will kid. I'm also waiting to find out all the new AMD crap!

[Brother Esau]

Yes being Truthfull but more so not living in Denial

[Brother Esau]

Yeah, I imagine you will kid. I'm also waiting to find out all the new AMD crap!

Listen man, I would appreciate if you stop fishing with me you're not funny and short you are just being disrespectful! So I have expressed my opinions and views based on MY real life experiences with both platforms and its my opinion which I am entitled too!

Please cut the drama with me on this as if you don't like AMD YOU have no business posting in this thread and trolling with people that don't feel the same as you do about Intel.

As a courtesy towards my friends David and Eric I promised them that I would keep my temper at bay and hand the pleasure over to them in the event this kind of thing transpired again.

Please cease and desist with me I'm asking you nicely

[JohnMike]

What do you want from me? I get a little tired of some of these guys insulting me because I have my own opinion on things! Telling me I need a new hobby is well telling me pretty much that I suck and don't know what I am doing in so many words.

And why prey tell is everyone looking at me for answers when each and every time its the same sh*t someone insults me first but thats ok right? And how dare I say something after the fact when the first stone is cast my way to begin with never the other way around.
If you ever notice I am never disrespectful towards people until antagonized!


I understand what you are saying nnstep but the fact remains I never see anyone saying jack towards the other person when all of this crap goes down and at 37 I don't need any ones approval on anything I say or do.

Kid, you overreact. I have been following the DFI P35 (same as mine) thread at Intel sub-fórum and i have been reading some of your posts, notice also that you enjoy the DFI P35 and you're happy with the board, by others words, with your Intel system.

Now here you say, you're tired of Intel crap... Just like that, no details.
I ask you «witch intel crap»... Your answer... «ALL OF IT!!» ... Great answer!...

So i think, if someone really is not satisfy with the best hardware platform nowadays, thinks its carp... Then maybe that someone as something better or hope form something new, in this case maybe the K10 performance carp form AMD, as we see and know so far.

You stress about this carp?!... It's hard for you to open your mind and feelings and have a conversation like an adult, explaining your point of view so that anyone here can understand you, instead of having to understand what kind of guy you are and what's your age?!

BTW... I'm 36 years old, so that makes us grown kids.

I too own an Intel system (having been with AMD for ages) - A DFI LP with a Q6600. I am very impressed with the stability, features and overclockability.

But this new mobo looks excellent. I see the ram slots aren't as close to the first PCI-E, as is the case with the P35 board. This is good news! With AMD's current price/performance ratio, it's looking mighty tempting. This will look great running side-by-side with my Intel rig.

[Brother Esau]

The Lan Party is a great board but once again Ram Performance is limited by Intel chipset constraints, other than that the dfi is a great board but once again its still incomplete due to Intel chipset limitations just like every other Intel motherboard as of late


@JohnMike .....I asked you nicely to stop having a go at me and being sarcastic and rude with you're suggestive comments towards me!
Further more I didn't over react. let me portray you as a idiot or somewhat incompetent if front of you're peers and I think you would feel the same!

To elaborate on you're initial question Intel Processors are Awesome but their Motherboards SUCK outside of server class!

Well, we will find out soon what's AMD K10 and chipset constraints. It would be nice if AMD could make any better than Intel does right know, even if Intel have been making great hardware. We always hope for more..

I think you miss understand my manners regard to you, i have not being sarcastic or rude with you, that was not my intention if you fill it that way.

After reading this last post of yours i and everybody finally start to understand what you mean by «Intel carp». Thanks!

If what you say is true I hope it turns around soon as I don't like the idea of spending $3500-$4000 on a Penryn gaming machine with an ordinary mobo...

[Brother Esau]

It depends on what you want out of it. Personally the DFI P35 is a great board and I would recommend it to anyone, but its a B*tch to get Quad Core with high Ram Bandwidth stable and I mean its way hard. In my mind SuperPI and Benchmarks mean Jack All if you cant Prime Blend exact same settings for at least 8-10hrs and on the forum here I see a whole lot of stuff that all of us can do ....But can you make that UBER Fantastic Scoring Beast Stable? Thats the Million Dollar Question now aint it?

I have had my Quad core SuperPI benched at 4050mhz and got BSOD @ 4170MHZ so with Phase Change & LN2 and the Desire to Blow Sh*t Up and a endless wallet or sponsorship I can do what them guys at that event can do but I don't have it like that and neither do most of us!

I think that isnt platform specific.. I had 2/4 939 NF3 boards that refused to remain stable over 270 HTT (worst one did 220), one that did more than 330 and a 754 NF3 that did 370. Also have had a fair few intel boards that really sucked for FSB, even on a core 2 duo.

[Brother Esau]

Well I know but the conversation went slightly south

[biohead]

Please don't insult me over a product! Don't hurt my feelings!!

What world do we live in?

Relax.

[Brother Esau]

Stepping in to stir the Sh*t Bro? Step Off!!!! and don't bother me anymore I don't like you and you are a instigator and this is not the first time !



@JohnMike.....See this is what I am used to dealing with. Sorry if I called you kid I apologize for that but, as you can see this is what I usually expect and see is whats above. Just to clear it up there were a few people that had something to say and sorry if I directed it all towards you!

[Syn.]

This is not 790FX. This is 790X.

790FX is for 2x CPU motherboards, the ones i am waiting for.

It's ok! I don't have any problem with you personally, we have cleared that it was a miss understand, nothing more.

I just question you because i had read some of your posts on the thread that i mention above... That's the reason why i care to question you. I respect people mind and there opinions.

Stay cool!

[RFC Rudel]

DFI the real mobo maker.

[Nedjo]

nop! 790FX is for 3-way and 4-way crossfire, and ubeOC'ing, and not for SocketF (1207) mobos!

In other words, this is 790FX mobo. 790X is for "normal" crossFire, and 770 is for one x16 PEG 2.0 slot

[Pisu87]

Okay it's all cool, but was the damn whole heatpipe thingy really necessary? We're talking about RD790 and SB600 (700?), chips that suck just a few Watts, I doubt that the SB needs the uber screwmounted skyscraperlike heatpipe thing.

The digital PWM is the only thing that requires some serious cooling but I would still say no to that thing comin' out from the back of the case, kinda says "hit me by mistake and I'll crush your mobo".

[Zytek_Fan]

Not bad...I'm waiting for abit's though...

Die heatpipe craziness, die!

[Syn.]

can i have all that and two socketts? I really would like that.

Thing is FX has less to do with Crossfire but more with AMD FX CPU's so i really dont get why isnt this 790X and then the normal one being 790S or 780X.

FASN8 is said to have been canceled, although I doubt it was...

PLEASE DON'T HURT MY FEELINGS! =(

Seriously, anyone even remotely disagreeing with you bothers you and should shut up? That's skewed to say the least. It's a public forum, not Fox News.

[hecktic]

is it just me or am I seeing a microcool bga sink on that board?
