Finally a SB750 review

[robbicfc]

The way I look at is it this way. If it helps Anandtech broach the 3Ghz barrier or 3.2Ghz in this instance then some of our more Xtreme members might even push 4Ghz

Nice.

Some good news. I thought that this new feature Advanced clock calibration was reserved for AMD Overdrive only. It's good to hear that it will be incoporated into BIOSes as well.
That should hopefully mean that the overclocking boost with Southbride 750 is not available only in Windows.

It will not help that much, if your CPU is already good, might see 100~150MHz out of it with some individual core tweaking. However, you will be able to run at lower voltages and higher NB clock speeds. It works best on those CPUs that have been poor overclockers, seeing about a 300MHz increase on a old 9850BE that would not do more than 2.7GHz today.

Bingo can you confirm for me that the test on Anand was done under Vista x64? If that's the case then SB750 finally is bringing parity to overclocking under x32 and x64 systems .

Yes, Vista 64 is the OS of choice with 4GB of memory. I have not noticed a real difference between the two operating systems yet, testing Vista 32 right now.

Thanks for confirmation!
So on the SB750 there is no real difference when overclocking between 32bit and 64bit? Or you mean that you can't see a difference on any board with your CPU?
How high you could get that 9850BE on SB600 mobo under Vista x64?
Many Thanks!
