nForce 790i SLI/Ultra chipset mobos - Reviews/OC/Guides

[OBR]

ive heard the asus board still has fsb holes with the latest bios? :/
how bad is it? are there many fsb holes?

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 ...

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

vdroop on EVGA board is terrible...

vcore bios set = 1.55
vcore windows idle = 1.49
vcore windowls load (prime small ffts) = 1.42

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 :/

how bout a quad at 4.0

But seriously, no striker in US... What gives?

and why would you want 2 extra cores?
its only usefull in benchmarks and videoencoding, and... heating your room and burning extra watts increasing your electricity bill
