waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

coolice got this mobo on his hand!!!

very nice leh the mobo , and the led for the slot in use...

the nb waterblock oso got good design.. i guess what the retail price when it come to Malaysia...

E3110
Max Fsb 495Fsb only!!!!!damn
this chip does much better on another board


more testing with this after i got it back from db

E6600
Max Fsb retest 530 still,same it does on Gigabyte X38-DQ6
1:2 333 Strap,5:6 and 4:5 has no probs to go 530fsb,this turn to my chip limitation now


Max fsb benchable for 1:2 266 Strap 355~360Fsb


Max fsb benchable for 2:3 460Fsb


Max fsb benchable for 5:8 440Fsb


my good old E6600 can bench at 4Ghz now with 1.52v set in bios now
previously 1.52v just barely can boot @ 4Ghz

E2140 G0 in the game

Swap my Xeon E3110 with db last sat for his E2140 G0 temporary


E2140 G0 Max fsb test 465Fsb SuperPi 32M stable,previously tested by him 465Fsb SuperPi 1M on Blood Iron
Max fsb test 1 465x8 3:4 8-7-6-16 1T loose timing


Try higher mem speed with 1:2 333 Strap 8-8-8-22 1T


SuperPi 32m Trial 12m 50.500s 465x8 1:2(333) 8-7-6-16 1T


SuperPi 32m 2nd attempt with tighten timing for Silver award in hwbot with cpuz validation,shave another 12sec
12m 38.797s 465x8 1:2(333) 7-6-6-16 1T

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=372631

This is not only DDR3 powah,im trying to show do it at ddr2 timing,cl5 but it doesn't boot,so tighest 6-5-5-15 1T

Misc benchmark run
who say 3dmark01 is old

480x8 1:2(333) 8-7-6-16 1T for below 3 runs
8800GTS G92 861/2121/1107(cant remember the real clock,but below these 3 is the same real clock)

3DMark 2001 SE - 71651


3DMark 2003 - 51386


3DMark 2006 - 15367

Dryice Test
tried once but due to more insulation needed,first run failed
2nd run will be coming

extra slot incase

tats all for now,sorry for delaying guys

nice result u got for the E2 series... it seems to be good, cheap oc proc.... yet... ur E3110 seems to be capped at the same fsb yet... hope the cap fsb increase when it comes to P45.

BTW, pretty shock to c u put up the 3D Mark 01 result.

my e3110 capped at same fsb?
anythings wrong with 3dmark 01?it is much more fun than 3dmark06 and the crappy vantage

Yea...Vantage just sux....
Tried w quad core?? Wonder how high FSB this baby can go?

-pWs-

let me pick up ur wife so i can test with this baby

Wife mana bleh pinjam

-pWs-

cant wait for d.ice run...

Interested to see more photo on the motherboard when doing Dry Ice run.

woot, dry ice... sub zero cooling on blackops... bring it on coolio

how much does it cost in ringgit ?

according to zhen^wei,it is Rm1250
well,i think distro only accept pre-order,not sure though
this is my advise to those who want to grab this
this board tweaked specially for QX9650/9770,but should be apply to main stream quaddy as well
BlackOps + wolfdale is very bad match,wolfdale user who wanted to run at 4GHz for daily,u need to have at least E8400/E3110,coz of the fsb crap out from 450 onwards,not guarantee tat they will fix it in future bios

As expected from Shamino advices. Very cool.

it isnt a good idea if this board only target on extreme proc user

thumbs up for still contributing here.

they should be fixing the bios soon..

was informed by shamino tat new bioses is up,one beta and one official,wolfdale retest soon

Later u got time can review cheap performance P45 too...

bad day,the board is dead,without any reason,power led is light on,but just cant power on
sent to distro to rma,no result for time being,sorry guys

Opss... Bad news for you bro.
We will just wait until the RMA board back.

-pWs-

Hold on,your board in casing?If in casing put it out lor..But if it doesnt send them an email first and ask them.Last time i also like that when using Abit mobo(although not foxconn).

omg.. so unlucky.. huhu Foxconn board is supposed to be extreme enough to handle people like u!! but..






i guess he has much experienced already to dfferentiate between dead or not..

tat really scratch my head,got no idea at all,leaving it for 1 day+ coz i need to do assignment,then it just don power on afterwards..wtf

maybe faulty board...

the feeling must be bad i guess... summore u left it just to finish ur assignment and then when u just thought u can relax from ur study a bit, the board got sudden death





it's not faulty since it already allowed itself to be pushed the days before..

maybe it committed suicide coz afraid of being under pressure again?

i got the same problem on my mars also coolice

led on but cannot boot

looks like my previous EVGA N680i. hehe... RMA only choice. Try swap PSU.

change Ram bro...maybe not compatible with your system

nice mark..why dont sell the sound card from the mobo separately
