Hi Coolaler, i see the performance of you cpu with this mobo at 4ghz (445x9 ram 1:1)......and you have the same performance of LOOSER STRAP 1333 of bad axe!!!

My e6600, with strap 1067 at 4ghz(445x9 with ram 1:1), finish superpi 1M in 12,3sec!

I dont think he was optimising for benchmarks, merely showing the board could do it.

Hey BarboneNet, what's your SiSoft Memory Bandwith pushing at your above settings please? Buffered is cool & Un-Buffered would be a bonus!
Thanks!

[BarboneNet]

double post sorry

[BarboneNet]

hi
this is the bandwith at 4,1ghz with strap 1333.........if someone wants to compare @400-450x9 Abit VS Bad AXE, i'm here

Tbh, I would have thought you should get 8000+ at 450+ fsb!
What Ram & Timings are you using above?
Cheers BarboneNet.

with strap 1067 at 450+, i have 8000+ of bandwith.....the strap 1333 on bad axe, is loser!

The divisor ram in the screen shot, is 1:1 (667 with strap 1333 is 1:1), timings 4-4-4-8

Later i make the screen shot with strap 1067 at 4,1ghz!


P.S. sorry for my english

this is the good strap 1067

SO glad for all the pictures and BIOS shots as well as the OC info and overall jibber jabber from others about this amazing board.

Keep up the good work! I can see that this will be the board to beat.

Any word as to if/when a Red (Fatal1ty) version (FP-A9D) will be coming out?

I am set on getting this board and I want to thank Nemesis for his link to ExcaliburPC as I have no great love for ZZF. $30 cheaper is great!

I wonder if a flex PCI adapter would make that PCI slot accessable...planning X1950XT CF on this current build...

i like that ATI skin... where is it being held captive ?

and for me can someone chime in ,, someone who has had other boards and be honest and give a truthful comparison of what you have experienced.
pros and cons compared to lets say a P5B or DS3 or Bad Axe.

the price is ,, wow,, nice i truly expected to see a $300 tag on it.

Hi guys...

i need 2 informations:

1) it's possible to use clokgen or setfsb with this board?

2) did you flash the BETA BIOS under win or under dos?

ciao Lore

1) Not necessary, µGuru does the job.
2) I did it in Win, as mentioned in my PM

[lore85bg]

i'm preparing the OS lite for benchmark... and i think that uGuru will not function under that OS...

Sicness, does this board do the power down then power back up thing like Asus?

ATI to launch RD600 in October

Monica Chen, Taipei; Rodney Chan, DigiTimes.com [Tuesday 19 September 2006]


ATI Technologies, set to be acquired by AMD, has rescheduled the launch of its RD600 chipset supporting the Intel platform until October, with motherboard makers showing reluctance to roll out products based on the new chipset, according to sources.

Prior to AMD and ATI's merger announcement in July, motherboard makers had shown considerable interest in supporting the RD600, which originally had been scheduled for launch in August, sources at motherboard makers said.

But since the announcement of the acquisition, motherboard makers are worried that AMD may discontinue or reduce the supply of RD600 and other ATI chipsets for the Intel platform, the sources commented.

The sources also pointed out that Intel's licensing agreement with ATI limits the front-side bus (FSB) clock speed to 1066MHz and slower, so when Intel unveils its new FSB specification at 1333MHz next year, ATI may not be allowed to roll out chipsets supporting the new specification. Because of these reasons, the sources claimed that ATI has revealed to motherboard makers that it will not invest further in Intel platforms.

ATI maintained that its RD600 will be unveiled as scheduled in October, and that the new chipset has received support from many motherboard makers. The company said it has never heard of any negative response from partners concerning the RD600.

any chance you're a member at overclock.net? anyways, when can we expect the board? my friend also needs a driver hack for SLi on a 975X board, so help would be appreciated.

Anyone know of this bios AW9D_12-B02

Description Date: 2006/09/15
Model: AW9D-MAX

function added:

1. TM2 (thermal monitor 2)
2. Unlock the multiplier of Conroe

function removed:

1. The frequency of PCI-E

[roller11]

The P5W DH and the 965 DQ6 both had a feature (BIOS) that
when enabled, the CPU fan voltage is automatically controlled
according to CPU temp. That is, the voltage is low when the CPU is relatively
cool, and as CPU temp rises, so does the fan speed, and does so
on a continuim, not discretely as ABIT guru implies.
Does the aw9D MAX have such a control, and how does one set it.
Guru doesn't do this.

Guru does it and for each fan output.FAN EQ Mode> 4 setting Cool-Quiet-Normal or User define.With User define you can choose the REFERENCE TEMPERATURE according to-Cpu temp -systemtemp or PWM temp.Set the min VOLT and max VOLT --min TEMP and max TEMP.CPU fan EQ works only with 4 pins fan (pulse wide modulation)for 3 pins fan disabled it and use AUX 3 FAN output.Guru it's the better for this job.Sorry for my poor and bad english
