mikelanding, there is few tips to ensure u get a c2 board

1st. at the top of the board, above ram slots, got small capacitor with puple label.. most c1 has larger capacitor there.

2nd. ask the shopper when did the stock for that ds3 arrived. if in october, it should be c2.

And for now all c2 ds3 comes with F4 bios ..

i meant the number 1

gengstapo.. but we cant ask shopper to install the board and look at cpuz first

rev c2 and rev c1 has same rev number on the board

@gengstapo

not necessary. it's just like a new driver update, or bios update. many people think the latest should be better, but thats not alwiz true..

but as we know the c2 fixed some minor issue founded in c1, so it's better to have a newer one..

but i dont think it worth people change their c1 board just to get the newer c2..

i have one unused for now, but going to put into my mom's pc after raya..

i decided to use asus p5w dh dlx as my system's mobo.

i did ordered it last time but due to delay of ETA and money limitation i cancel it


dang u!


but anyway i'm quite happy with this p5w dh. last time i used p5b deluxe and 2 of the reasons i dont really like it are because it's not so compatible with my ram (memtest failed even at stock) and bcoz it keep switch off and on again every time i restart pc..

for this p5w dh, the latest beta bios fixed the reboot bug and i've no problem with my memory..

but deep inside my heart, i like abit bcoz of its professional looks (not bcoz of its blink2 led )

waa mfcm become raymond's assistant already ar? hehe j/k

btw it's great seeing 4ghz and above become a standard oc range for dual core.. i believe with proper cooling, n mix with raymond's skill, his proc can go higher
