IF ATI had a "performer" VGA (like when the 9700 came out), I could tell you if NVIDIA whould sell a SLI license to INTEL or not.....NEXT DAY.....
Is it prefairable to run a QUAD CPU at 5400MHz+ with a SLI and an INTEL chipset with HIGH FSB/Memory bandwidth EASY - OR run it at 5200MHz MAX with SLI, NVIDIA chipset and LOW FSB/Memory bandwidth/Latency/LOTS of problems till ONE bench of HANDRENDS come out?.....

Anybody tried to OC Yorkies on 780i yet?

780i with an qx9650 @ 5250mhz is
what would be considered barely working ? .................
depends on the motherboard they tried dude780i with an qx9650 @ 5250mhz is

if it was Asus then i can understand his comment completely
i'll be getting the reference board in a couple of weeks...looking forward to testing it out
i hope they are nots like 680i boards to overclock but from what i'm seeing here with vince's setup it seems to be doing well considering how far he pushed it on dice
looks good on RAM side there too with 430 3-3-3-x 1T
From what I've learned from someone inside, the 780i reference mobos are being tweaked to provide support for the quad penryns. Its definitely NOT a chipset issue...the NB of the 780i is essentially the same as the 680i. The tweak being made to the 780i boards is in layout to properly control the multiplier and improve bus stability. That's it. The new reference boards should be seen in just a few weeks. 780i will support the 45nm quads.
The question is whether the stability for solid overclocks will be there. Support is one thing, overclocking is another. My guess is this "quick fix" to the 780i reference design is only going to provide support at modest clocks at the bus. Use of the multi will be necessary for big clocks. At least that's what i'm lead to beleive.

vince had a fairly decent FSB thereunless retail CPUs will differ but from what i have seen so far most retail CPUs seem to be doing better than ES lol
sry meant for A2 reference nV design board....depends on the motherboard they tried dude
I said nothing about asus boards....
especially week 39's.....vince had a fairly decent FSB there
yeah true
especially week 39's.....
well all except eva2000s
he bought a dud
i just read a review on a qx9650 pc powerplay Australia...
and they reviewed it on a asus striker extreme 680I Got it to 4ghz apparently
How did they do that if it's not supported are they full of Bs or what???
No, I think he had a date tonight...
He and his EK Supreme are out for a night on the town!
must be a typo
maybe they have an engineering sample
nah don't think so
Running the board at that speed would be possible. Stability is another issue though.
They did state they had es chip..
Can't link you guys to it

Well if they had an ES then that's the answer.
you can always just scan one page heheThey did state they had es chip..

ES chips getting overclocked on 680i asus
you guys would know about it here for sure if that was possible
They are known to work on the DFI 680i board so why not the Asus?
they are very spotty on DFI boards
some work some don't
trust me George would post some results rather than this thread if that was the case
Problem now is: WILL i780 chipset fully support the QUAD RETAIL York OR are we going for a "brand new i790" one?....That's the question......

metro and I had some minor discussions on this last night (my time
NVIDIA will not bother to fix Yorkfield support with 680i.
nForce 7 series will have Yorkfield support, even though nForce 7 and nForce 6 is basically the same chipset, it's not the chipset that's the problem. It's the layout.
NVIDIA is working hard on getting the Yorkies to play along with the nForce 7 and the goal is to have proper overclocking with retail Yorkies by the launch. There's just no alternative for NVIDIA. Without Yorkie support NVIDIA could just as well throw the chips in the cylinder archive.

the inquirer has a go at the issue too... link
link to evga forum which is the inq's source for those that dont want to give them hits.
basically what the evga guy posted is that 680I will get support for retail 45nm dualcores with a Bios update, since he specifically said dual cores it leaves it in the dark what will happen to support for 45nm Quads on 680I.
Even if true that some ES chips work and some don't there is no reason this same "spotty" success rate wouldn't apply to all boards at least enough to throw up some type of result for a review. Even the results that k|ngp|n posted would be enough for a review to give the impression of compatibility.they are very spotty on DFI boards
some work some don't
trust me George would post some results rather than this thread if that was the case

Please, please, PLEASE tell me about one 945GC-based mobo that is compatible with yorkfields...
I'm not an OC'er (not that 945-based chipsets OC or anything... lol), and I'm basically a huge mATX w**** (sorry about the language), so I'd absolutely pay for one of those...
I've seen an ASRock model boasting Wolfdale support already, but what I really want is Quad-core for (very) cheap on a mATX board... Right now the only Intel mATX boards with Quad-core support are either single-channel (anything SiS, VIA or NVIDIA...), extremely old (775i65G, from ASRock, and its sister from Asus, which still run the 865G chipset...), or downright expensive (anything G3x-based). I still can't understand why 945x doesn't support quads...
If any of you knows anything about this one, please tell me, ok?
Ok, on topic, now. If I recall correctly, the 680i has been around since way before Penryn was released, right? Even before the 3x series chipsets, which were the first ones to explicitly say "Penryn-compatible". From that time till now, there have been changes to the VRM specs, so my guess is, if there is nothing really bad going on with the 6xx and 7xx series chipsets, we'll eventually see at least unnofficial support for Penryn (dual and quad-cores). Hell, since I've seen ASRock supporting the Q6600 on the 865G chipset, I believe anything is possible in terms of motherboard CPU support...
Cheers.

P.S.: Sorry for the OT, I really needed help on this one.
Don't forget to visit http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...play.php?f=214. Stop wasting CPU cycles and FOLD. Put your extra CPU power for a good use.
POS nVidia. my board is half way out the door and I doubt I'll ever go back to an nVidia chipset.
All the Asus P5B models P965 boards (bar one) all supports the Yorkfield chip as listed on the Asus site: http://event.asus.com/mb/45nm/
Pile of crap nvidia board, this for me rules out any upgrades until Nehalem is released thanks to this pile of junk, not worth the time nor money getting a X38/48 board just to run Yorkfield chips when Nehalem is so close.
