790i ULTRA SLi

[dinos22]

I have shown you that P5K can do 600FSB, so does P965, here is mine X38 at 601FPS, I had 615 and I am quite sure it will go more, I just need CPU that goes, X48 will go 650, kiwi had Foxconn at 620, remember ?

Why does it mater which bios I use, it's normal to use the fastest, and here is my result with E8500, lower frequency, but it's better perf. rating.

OK now you are being ignorant i'm sorry to say

it matters because there are full support and semi support bios files

FIRST POINT.
now the bios you showed is a non-full support bios which is buggy and it has stock 45.5K PP and tweaked 45K or if you are very good sub 45K

i can show you sub 45K on a non-supported bios but that is not a fair comparison as it is a buggy bios as it is your result above.

Install the latest bios and show us your efficiency then mate. do you want to bet what it will be


SECOND POINT.
my runs were done as a straight boot from bios at 600MHz FSB. i only set main timings and frequency for RAM in bios > 8-7-6-20 1T. I did not touch subtimings. I did not have a new version of memset which is coming that will allow me to tweak the RAM nor was i trying to be FAST FFS. It was only an indicative run to share with people here how easy it is to do 600Mhz FSB and believe me i don't think you will need a special CPU for it either.

with fully tweaked system and all the RAM timings set for best SuperPi this mobo will do same 1M as any good intel



THIRD POINT.
your second point about high FSB is ignorant as well >> WHY?

you did not test a reference 790i board and you are making conclusions in a thread about reference boards rather than third party ones. you have a "lucky" Intel based board which can do that FSB. Ask team Japan if you don't agree with me. You know very well as everyone else does on this forum that it is not very easy finding a board in P35/X38/X48 that can do such high FSB with Wolfdale. It is almost impossible and only a small few P5K boards and an odd other has been able to do this so far. P965 boards have had higher FSB to newer gen but they are also spotty and not all do that even in C2 revison. i can show you examples of C2 boards that have issues or are no different to other boards including my good friend's one > eva2000. The other problem with them is the 1x PCI Express issue so you will have to be lucky to wreste the board into wanting to run at full bandwidth to run 3D runs. Third issue you have is pmem tweaks don't always work very well. Once you try to tighen them the board gives up a lot of FSB. Ask NewBeetle-san how much FSB he lost while trying to improve memory performance through pmem? i had a gem board myself which allowed for tight pmem settings but could not break 600FSB and was spotty at 600 as well.....595 was easier.

let me tell you something mate. get ahold of a reference 790i and buy 10xCPUs (wolfdales) and then test them on the 790i and then on normal P35/X38/X48. i know you guys have plenty of boards to choose from. I am very confident that on average the 790i will absolutely smash them in FSB as per current boards and bioses.

i have lots of motherboards in all ranges that i can test and from my couple of week 40 E8500 i could not go past 530 stable FSB on water >> stuck it in the 790i and i am doing 575MHz stable FSB for 32M Spi. This is no joke mate. 790i is that good

i know that nvidia sent me boards in the past which were really no different to your average joe bloe retail board so i have no reason to believe other will be able to replicate my results.

Don't drag my name into your stupid polemics.

sorry for the OT KP
