ive heard the asus board still has fsb holes with the latest bios? :/
how bad is it? are there many fsb holes?
SPP = SouthBridge
MCP = MCH ( NorthBridge )
Expected to be honest.
The Striker was a mediocre board, sometimes it would treat you nice and work fine, sometimes it'd be a pita and kill you slowly.
At least I hope ( for Asus's sake ) that the Striker II Extreme is less buggy.
Don't know yet... I'm out to buy a nF790i mobo...but this time I'm not going to be a guinea pig or take the plunge without seeing stuff first.
I'll wait patiently for the rest to take their chances on various nF790i boards first... and then I'm going to chime in...
patience is a virtue they say
I have maped FSB holes on nF680/780 Asus Striker, Striker II Formula but on this nf790 there are not usual holes like before (400mhz for example) , i can set any FSB without problem ..... my OC is 550MHz without holes, but i am testing only 45nm cpus ... 65nm Kensfield cannot to be overclocked, in BIOS is some problem ...
just found this
"The NVIDIA nForce 790i SLI chipset is comprised of two parts. First is the System Platform Processor (SPP), analogous to Intel's Memory Controller Hub (MCH) or "Northbridge", and second is the Media and Communications Processor (MCP) that provides nearly the same functionality as Intel's I/O Controller Hub (ICH) or "Southbridge."
so SPP = NB
and MCP = SB
why is EVGA giving me such low NB voltage options?

can anyone translate this please...UPDATE: Na naší dnešní testovací desce Asus některé funkce nefungují správně a nebo vůbec. Potvrzuje se tedy má obava, že všechny funkce nového Control panelu využijete pouze na referenčních základních deskách

there are useful infos for me, but i can´t read this

Because you don't need more prolly...just found this
so SPP = NB
and MCP = SB

With 680i it was different, though eVGA 780i was also only up to 1.55 I believe (don't shoot me if I am wrong). I needed there only 1.45 NB voltage for 450FSB with 1200mhz on the ram with a Qx... 790i seems to need even less voltage according the reviews... though I'm holding out on this one till the dust has settled...

that's correct
Finally someone did at least one test on RAID performance. I'm guessing that was for RAID 0. They really should have done a CPU utilization test for the RAID controller, makes a big difference knowing how much CPU is being used.I am running on Corsairs + Teamgroup 1800MHz 4GB and everything is great ...

From another review I saw, CPU utilization for non-RAID was on par with Intel's and much better then the 780i. I imagine since RAID 0 is so simplistic we can expect similar improvements.
Thanks OBR.
BTW, do you have any experience with an NVidia reference 790i board and how it compares to the ASUS?

EVGA is better than ASUS in max FSB?
what was your max FSB with the ASUS?
i have an unconfirmed pencil droop mod image on another machine
vince is using it but he has a VR on it
i could not get the pencil mod to work properly so have to try again
if it works i'll post it for ya
Agreed. I hope there is a pencil mod for this board.

New Nvidia Control panel (6.10) dont work correctly with this Asus board ... it is fully working only on referrence boards (XFX, eVGA ...)
That part of article is about a FSB strap changing, on first pictures are best MEM performances ... FSB is 400MHz and mem/fsb ratio is 2:1 = mem performance is BEST ...
On next picture is second rule broken, FSB is 400, but ratio mem/fsb is higher the 2:1 = mems performance is very bad!
last picture is broken first rule, FSB is higher then 400 (and strap in NB was changed to compatible mode), but mem /fsb ratio is 2:1 ... but mems performance is also very bad ...
result: if you want the highest mem performance, you have to find best combination of strab in NB and ratio fsb/mem ... but best performance will be with fsb around 400MHz fsb ...
Asus board is great with NO undervolting, Loadline cal. works perfectly!
OBR,
I just picked up a 790i and 9800GX2, but am concerned about a CPU bottleneck.
Would you recommend an E8500 (@3.8) or Q9450(@3.2)?

E8400 at 4GHz will be every time better then Quad at 3.2GHz ... Quad is good for 3D06 scores, and video encoding ... but for gaming is better high clocked Dual core ...
how bout a quad at 4.0
But seriously, no striker in US... What gives?

is a stable 8x450 possible with q9450 on air with the asus 790i ultra w/o cutting memory performance?
webwilli and another guy i talked to said there is an fsb hole around 400fsb, and that was with 45nm cpus afaik. but they didnt use the 0507 bios
correct me if im wrong, but thats not vdroop.
vdroop is the delta of idle vcore and load vcore.
in this case the vcore is way low in both cases meansing the board undervolts quite badly around 0.5v
vdroop is 0.7v in this case, which is higher than the intel spec i think...
so its both, bad vdroop and bad undervolting :/
and why would you want 2 extra cores?how bout a quad at 4.0
But seriously, no striker in US... What gives?
its only usefull in benchmarks and videoencoding, and... heating your room and burning extra watts increasing your electricity bill
