D.F.I 790FX 6400+ or Phenom 9500

[Wiggy McShades]

I'm playing with DFI 790FX and Phenom9500.
DFI 790FX has BIOS setting for NB multiplier(needed BIOS uptdate to R7LDB22)
HyperTransport base clock limit is ~245 or so, at least for my own Phenom9500...
...we need higher multiplier

is that 245 limit going to be a limit that will be improved upon with better bios's ?

Looking forward to your impressions Brother Esau.

I just looked up the board at MotherboardPro and noticed it only supported up to 4GB of memory, kinda odd, anyone know the motivation for this? And yes I understand the majority of folks don't need more then 4GB of ram, I'm just interested in the reasoning behind the 4GB limitation.

On my Gigabyte RD790FX with 5000+ BE i can reach +/- 400MHz HT frequency, but with Phenom only 230MHz ... where is problem uh?

[Brother Esau]

OBR.......you like the new chipset?

I have some results coming with the gigabyte, a 6000+ and a 9500+, sorry to say even with a trick NDA bios I still can not get over 234HTT on the Phenom...300+ is easy with the 6000+

running 4Gb ram at 1100+ with 37.5nS access latency is quite cool i must admit.

Will post some thoughts tomorrow, i only have the hardware while monday next week

Got my D.F.I 790FX-M2R & 6400+ Black Edition up and running today

Stand by to stand by ..............Will post up my review when I get some insight into Bios settings and a little bit of familiarity in with the board .

Just a Little Taste of Ram performance for ya

[Lightman]

Bring it on!!

[Brother Esau]

More......yes

[Brother Esau]

From what I see in comparison the D.F.I 790FX-M2R completely Annihilates the ASUS in Ram Performance

@ZL1Killa............See I told you whats up with this board silly wood pecker.....lol

How high can you get that 6400+?
Does it run at 45w or 65w?

[Blacklash]

If you're a gamer you can see here a 2.4GHz Phenom matches or passes up a stock 6400+ in every bench. It gets absolutely stomped in the "Lost Planet" cave bench.

I'd probably wait on the 9600 BE and grab that.

[Brother Esau]

I will get a Phenom when there has been some revisions made to it and some of the issues sorted out.

Good thinking!

All who can wait another month or 2 should wait!
At stock clocks Phenom is working fine but OC is terrible !

[Jimmer411]

The Amd 6400 being clocked quite high has a 15x multi allready, multi unlocked isnt that spectacular yes Amd 5000BE can OC well but performence isnt that great compared to 6400BE due to 512KB core vs 1MB core... Thats a vauable factor to consider!!


Also 6400BE has had price drop at OCUK for £117!!

What for Phenom to drop in price at least or wait for later releases but you need one now since that adivce given get 6400BE!!

Its a no brainer currently

Since when has L2 cache mattered for AMD performance? Cache matters for intel, not AMD

LOL, can't wait to see it fly. I just got me a 6400+ BE so we will see. I probably won't buy a new board for a while. waiting on more info from the quad core and new usb3.0 and other new technology to come out on mobos
