    DFI NF4 is great! Sad thing that NF4 accepts only PCi-E video, so I need to upgrade that as well.

    Was waiting to see reports now that everyone should be receiving their board.
    Yes, it's a bummer AGP stops at NF3.
    I'll be interested to see how the FX55 scores.

    quiksilverXP: whats your highest stable CPU speed for the same winchester on other boards? i.e. have you got it to clock better or does just the memory subsystem seem to work in a superior manner?

    Yatah... what FSB and timings would like me to test at?

    Apu... LDT is at 1.4v and chipset is at 1.6v. I never changed them for all the tests so I haven't figured out the lowest voltages yet.

    Highest Stable CPU speed is 2750 on this board and the Neo2. On the Neo4 I could only get to 2.7Ghz because of the lack of voltage options. On the gigabyte board I hit 2796Mhz stable... but keep in mind I had that board during winter...

    If you use an old PCI card is it any faster? Haven't read up much on PCI at all
    ALIENS are bringing my next kentsfield based rig in a UFO case!

    I never changed my LDT or Chipset voltage either but I am still testing as well.

    Currently I can't get my 3000+ winny to do 2.5(278x9) let alone 2.6(290x9) or 2.7(300x9). I'm currently @ 300x8 for 2.4ghz and it is 100% stable atm, memtest, prime95, superPI...

    My temps don't seem to be the limiting factor as I am 25c idle and 35c under load.. anything over 2475 will not load windows. I have a bunch still to test tho, only started playing with it last night.

    All else fails I may try for a stronger CPU as it seems this board is strong and so is this G.Skill LA!
    System Hardware:
    -----------------------------
    XP-120 w/ Sunon 120mm
    DFI SLI-DR A.01(ultra-d retired @ 350HTT 1:1)

    2x512 G.Skill LA @ DDR600 2.5 4 3 7 1T
    2x256 G.Skill LA Kit retired @ 350hTT 3 4 4 8 1T!
    BFG 6800 GT OC PCI-E(425/1.1, good ram!)
    36gb raptor 10k rpm x 2 in raid-0

    You need a good CPU to get past 2.5. Week 40, 41, some 42s, and week 48 are the best I've seen, with the 0448 SPAW taking the top.
