Just boot up at 5528MHz after a fresh install and run a Spi 32M; Time was crap BTW but stability amazed me.

Then I've clocked a bit to see how high it can go.

Looks quite good actually, but not as FSB friendly as the P35 series... Anyway, I've to use it a bit more to improve my knowledge.

[Sly Fox]

Awesome results, I'm looking forward to seeing more.

A bit off topic, but I just got this board in yesterday but haven't used it yet.

I haven't OC'd on a DFI board since the socket 754 days, so I'm kinda nervous about how long it'll take me to figure this sucker out.

Theoretically, would you mind if I PM'd you for some info and help at some point?

*waiting for more benching results *...............

[Oliver]

Good job...

Looking forward to further information...

[quake6]

Could you test max stable FSB and max super pi FSB,I'll be very pleased

[akin]

yeah we wait for max FSB for this new stuff...

[dduckquack]

looks good, cant wait for more results

[DualCore]

Nice results , we need more pics

Nope, but damn close

It's one hell of a board though. 'Can do some amazing things this little beaut.

[sobih25]

great mb, any comparison to dfi x38/p35?

[quake6]

Only higher binned x38 as far as I know

[naokaji]

Nice results, looks like DFI created a very good board, did you have any time to test how it clocks ram (especially at low latencies)?

[Johnny Bravo]

Nope, but damn close

Think all of Europes review samples got shipped yesterday - mine has arrived too

[DFI pit bull]

Nice results, I feel jealous, pitty it won't be avliable in the uk.

Scan has it in stock

shame they charge both arms, legs a kidney and your first born for delivery to anything but mainland though (yes, i hate citylink), oh well, Importing from europe ftw

Thank you guys

Yeah; of course; feel free to do so.

FSB is definitely not the strong point for this board... BTW I guess the matter isn't actual board but the chipset itself.

Nope, but damn close

Damn close; that's right!

It looks quite good for this job.

So; I've managed to perform some Spi32M this morning. Here they are. First one is crap... really crap considering the CPU clocks. Second one, ran with 266FSB strap is better by far.

I know that FSB isnt strong point of this board,but I really want to see how far can it go...

[M.Beier]

Nice Xavier
Can you please post some info on max options in BIOS, and the max FSB?

[before]

Thanks mate

Ok guys; I've tried it with my 640FSB+ E8500 and the best it can boot at was 550FSB... and Spi1M wasn't able to pass even at 540FSB... So i've turned the cascade off... No need to loose time on this matter. So far X48 chipset isn't the one to clock FSB.

[chunkylover77]

I have the Ballistix also and am having an incredibly hard time getting this board stable or even into windows. Can you possibly show some of your mem settings so I can duplicate them?

[lior307]

Before!
Great Results and great mobo and CPU youv'e got there .
Can you Post SPI 1M ??

[THC]

Looks like a sweet board even it anit good for high FSB

Gonna stay turned in.... for more results

Keeep pushing it

[George_o/c]

Really nice Xavier I certainly wish that this board is a good ram clocker ... Any bios pics ? Also, do you know if DFI is planning on releasing a DDR3 version one ?
