DFI Lanparty UT P45-T2RS Banter starts here!!!

[C-N]

I was gonna do that but then the Avenger got a confirmed release, I would rather have my 2 x 16x slots tyvm

You don't have to convince me to buy the latest all singing thingys but you won't see the difference. 2 8x slots at PCI-E 2 have the same bandwidth of 2 16x PCI-E 1 slots & as far as I know nobody has maxed these out yet.

Finally got round to getting my UT P45 up and running today. It's the same cpu i had in the P35 in my sig, only using 4x1gig of OCZ PC9600 Flex instead of 2x1gig. On the P35, 2 sticks were running at 510x10 on the 5:6 divider putting the ram at 612fsb. As you can see from the screenie below, going at 556x9 at the moment.

Looks good, How you getting on with the board? you like it?

I thought the new 2.1v revision Reapers were using Powerchip IC... What do you think they are using?

Interestingly you are correct, they are powerchip same as the Reaper X 8000's but what is interesting is OCZ have revised the voltage spec of the 8500 kit to 2.2v max which is what threw me & made me question the IC's

comparing this to the dk version, is the dif in price worth it? it'll be my first build and was lookin forward to the dfi dk p45 t2rs or the jr version.

For me personally the answer is yes but the difference is actually nothing I can show you!!!! I have a DK a DK Plus & this board the UT P45. The plus is running 24/7 as my work station at 4GHz DDR 1000 with 4GB of RAM & Vista & its sweet. The std DK has been to the gates of hell & back benching on phase just for fun & the UT as you can see in this thread has had a good run too. If its numbers you are after they are all as good as each other. If its high speed stability the UT wins for me, thats really the only way I can split them up. Oh just thought crossfire is a bit tight on the DK's & the 2nd card covers the floppy connector too where as the UT is fine plenty space.
