[BadNizze]

Finaly a DFi board if my case again, can´t say how it makes my feel!
Mayby this is it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EMzoBkaFxh4

Well on to my test of choice, Prime!

Using AMD´s heatpipe cooler @ 3000rpm. Needed to get temps down so I lower the v-core While we are taking about v-core, all I can say is solid - like mount everset. 1,36 bios ->1,36 idle -> 1,36 load.


Have a couple of pics taken with my K800i
Crapy quality but better then nothing...

Box



Board


Heatsink over PWM


That´s all I had time for, more during this week\Weekend

Funny fact: Instalation of board, CPU, Memory, and putting in my case tok half the time of instaling the transpiper

[VulgarHandle]

can't wait to see what oskar's done for your phenom

[ZL1Killa]

BrotherEasu did a benchmark too, i'm wanting to see more results and keep seeing what people get

[BadNizze]

I have a question for AMD, RD790 is a 10w TDP chip right? How comes it loads around 60C? Both my Gigabyte and DFi does this... PWM is 52-53C @ Load BTW

[VulgarHandle]

passive cooling maybe? cheap thermal compound?

does it boot that warm?

[DevilCry]

I have a guestion guys...I have a Sapphire 790Fx.It's the same mobo with this.When i turn it on, it does a sound...something like when we open a t.v...Got it rma..Just recieve a new one...It does the same noise..Did anyone notice this mysterious sound on a DFI?

thnx

[Brother Esau]

I think its like Me, Tony, Andre Yang , RGone and two other fellas that comprise the entire user base of this board right now No T.V sound on my end but I too am waiting on another board will be here on the 13th on me Birthday

[BadNizze]

Bad news guys! My borad now suffers from the C1 post code........ Tryed booting @ 550mhz 4-4-3-5 @ 2,55v. I left the cmos jumper at "Clear" unplugged power cord and know I´m going to eat some eggs! Mad as hell... Why in gods name did I have to try to beat som silly SuperPi time?!

[Brother Esau]

I get the C1 Error on random myself I hope you have flashed to 11/22/07 yeah...........D.F.I needs to get the hooks out of their asses and get another Bios released and don't try the 12/06/07 Beta either it generates C1 Error more frequently than the rest! But if you find that you need a Bios Chip at any point you can contact me through PM I program them and sell them

[BadNizze]

I have not flashed yet... Do you use winfash? I don´t have a floppy.... Always used win flash with my Dfi boards, always worked good, but flasing in win ain´t realy taken lighty her at XS...

Mayby I can use my usb memory even if DFi recomends winflash?

[Brother Esau]

DO NOT USE WINFLASH .............Go spend $6.00 and buy a floppy drive!

[BadNizze]

Will do! If someone actualy stocks floppys any more Any way upp and running again I read over at DFi street that you where having power issues with youre Vga? Could you explain more please?

Hi, Robert
This is what I was referring too with the Default Values in Bios on this Board NOT being properly Allocated Electrically in PCI-E section in Advanced Chipset Features.

This is one of the things I have wrote you about with 2 x HD 3850 in Cross Fire at default AUTO Detect the wattage is 75 per slot allocated and is insufficient obviously

75W+75 from youre 6-pin sould be suffinciant, even if HD 3850/70 is a pci-e 2.0 card it is something of an halfbread, mening it still needs a 6-pin cable. Don´t know why AMD did this, we all you that all 790-fx board can provide 150w thru the slot itself. Mayby it was needed to compromise for the card to be backwards compatible withg pci-e 1.0?

[RyderOCZ]

DO NOT USE WINFLASH .............Go spend $6.00 and buy a floppy drive!

Why not just boot to a USB key? Much easier than buying a floppy

[Brother Esau]

Hey, RYDER whats up with you thee days? Move 5 feet to the left and step awy from my Floppy

[BadNizze]

Whent after som SuperPi 32mb times after all, running 11*315 with memory @ 4-4-4-10 577mhz @ 2,52v... Crached and rebooted itself after the last iteration To tyerd to try more today.

RyderOCZ: OCZ memory have always worked well on DFI motherborads. My Crucial IS running fine, BUT the OCZ VX2 have come down in price recently and are looking nicer by the minute. How is comapbility with this board? Asking because my TEAM memory will not even boot... Are this modules recomenden for my board? Trying to cut down on the C1 post codes... Mayby recomenden ram helps?

Tjena Nisse!


Im thinking of going AMD again but im wondering where you got your board hehe in Sweden?

[Brother Esau]

@Gambit.......who's the girl in you're avatar?

[BadNizze]

How do you know this? Mine run very cool actually unless I feed high volts in which case one small fan does the job since MSI heatsink are fab.

[Psycho_eddie]

When is this board due for UK release? Really wana get one

[Oliverda]

I'm going to get my DFI 790FX-M2R board tomorrow. Did anyone tried the brand new R7LDC11 beta BIOS? Released on 2007/12/11.

[Brother Esau]

yes I did its fine so far but , only had it in for a day and flashed back to official because got new board yesterday and its shipping bios is 11/22/07 and the other board is being retuned

Last night I switched to my Agena quad, and guess what? My dfi board does not have any NB speed "wall" like my Gigabyte... however it does hava a HTT wall around 225mhz so far... Have not tryd the new bios yet, using shipping bios 11/27 2007 know.

Prime


3D2k6 Cpu score.



PWM runs hotter with my Quad around 65C after 8h+ of prime, 50-55C with my 6400+ Nb around 60-62C with both. Thats all for know, need to test if new bios has HTT wall....
