Building New AMD64 System, Would You Go 754 or 939?

[chunkylover77]

It almost sounds as if you have the 754 DFI. Do you OPP?

yah, with the current batch of cards the AGP cards will be better in general.

also PCI-e doesnt have locks, as of yet, u have to us dividers i think, so thats a step back

thirdly, im tired of all the people who consantly utter the line "yah i would get that, but i waiting for _____" , WTF just go out and buy what u want then when the new technology comes out, sell yo sh*t and buy the new technology
the blank could be 90nm, s939, doom3, HL2, PCI-e, etc. i mean by that logic i could just keep on going and say, well im not gonna buy an FX-53 s939 now, because im gonna wait for nano-technology, or optical cpu's.

grrrrrrrrrrr

All the other 939 mobos have problems.

This 754 DFI is a Rock

OPP

do you "not" have one? *wink, wink* (NDA?)

All I can say is that it's the best mobo I've ever used

Yea I have one but can't talk about it

Ever since one of them Abit engineers went to DFI, they're getting better and better.


How long till 939 DFI ?


You know, with all the bright minds here at XS..................it be nice to be able to buy an XS mobo, xtreme mobo that bests all others.

[JNav89GT]

me drools over opps dfi 754 board

I can't wait for the 939 to hit
will get than and probably a 754 dfi and a 3700+ since they lowered them in price
that way maybe even stormpc will be happy

[LilGator]

When is the NDA over for the DFI 754, or release date ?

Now that's a real tease.

[JohnClark]

someone here recently posted that he would have an engineering sample DFI 939 board very soon, and the boards would be available for sale in August if all went well.

[OPPAINTER]

Not bad for single channel

OPP

[OPPAINTER]

340 3D proof

[OPPAINTER]

Some EB 3Dproofed at 280

Looking good, OPP. You're using the OCZ booster I take it. How much voltage are you giving the RAM?

Do You think It was Because The EPOX Board he used Wasn't Listed in the OCZ Mobo Specs?

They cant test everyboard, I think OCZ is verifying from their betat testers and boards they have. They cant buy and test every board. Mine will be here on the 27th, I'll be testing it on my MSI KN8.

There are quite a few not listed. there's an IC7 and IC7 max3. but not IC7-g or Max2, or and IS7 i'll be testing on those.

And only 1 epox board on the list. Im going to test on a 8rda, and 8rga, and 2 other epox boards.

They let the consumers test and verify boards, Same as like Vapochill and other companies do.

Hopefully this thing will work as promised, It's a hell of a Tester before that cheap volt mod. Or for "unmoddable" boards, I havnt seen a Vdimm mod for my MSI board yet, and it's crying out for it bad. but no one i've seen has figured out the MSI "core" chip. No data sheet for it.

Dam those are some nice numbers on that DFI board. Is that an unmodded board and just the OCZ booster Opp???

I had a newcastle and clawhammer. My newcastle can out bench my Clawhammer due to 200 more stable Mhz.

[OPPAINTER]

Yea the DFI is completely un modded, just the booster.

The v-core option will give up to 2.08V in the bios. Up to 1.9V for NB, and gives you up tp 3.16 V for mem without the booster.

I'm testing my BH-5 right now. It ran 3D yeterday at 260 without a hick up. Gunna really test it now

OPP

[chunkylover77]

OPP so this is the magic 754 board everyone has been waiting for?

[LilGator]

Ummm, yeah wow 2.08v vCore / 3.16v vMEM

Finally...

Lookin good Opp, you got a good cpu to boot?

This chip is a POS week 2 2800+

It maxes at about 2520MHz

Hmmm that's a NewCastle.
512Kb cache and 2520MHz ain't gonna get you on the frontpage i'm afraid.

Gonna get a better CPU like a 3700+ or so?

[LilGator]

3700+ and this new DFI board would be killer ...

[OPPAINTER]

Useing .5 multipliers will get your EB memory 3D proofed at 294MHz

OPP

[=w=]

I can't wait .

Also, what kind of cooling do you have on that chip OPP?

[OPPAINTER]

Is there no end to this mobo.
I'm testing how far she'll do 3D with FSB.

I'm at 360MHz stable with EB mem at 260 with 150 divider.
