Everyone,this is the method i told irangan and i wanna share it with u all.the method is real and it works with my 1066 proc,why dont just give 1333 proc a try?

bro,u got urself a E6850 right?
well,this method works fine with me.

anyway,i can confirm that P965 chipset supports 1333FSB,just depend on our D.A.R.K. bios.

anyway,i changed my E6600 to QX6700.these 2 processor are 1066FSB.

here come the story.

that day when i got my QX6700,i changed my E6600 from the mobo without reset the bios setting. (my E6600 running 400x9=3600MHz)

Then when i install the Qx6700,the proc boot up with the setting of 400x9,without reset the bios and i was shocked,thought that changing proc's stepping will cause the mobo to reset the bios.but it was not.

so base on my eperience,it worth a try with all of u here.

E6850 using 9x multiplioer which is same as E6600 9x multiplier.

so bro,hjust get urself a E6600,then set the multiplier to 9x and adjust the FSB to 1333FSB which is 333.3 in bios,after that,save the setting and boot into windows and reconfirm with CPU-Z then shut it down.

then now replace with ur E6850 and boot it, (the setting should be 333.3x9) it should be bootable cause changing different processor and different stepping will not reset the bios (from my experience la),if it bootable,then viola!!!

it wastes a bit of ur times but it saves u from changing mobo,so why dont just give a try?

hope that my method can help u all.

i tot of that also but i tot when changing proc the bios will follow what the proc says...anyway i have E6700 i will set it to 9 x 333 and give it a try after i do the test fo the 4 godly heatsinks
hope it can work else i will have to say bye bye to Dark already.... Dark is a nice mobo...so far the best P965 mobo... it offers many OC option in ram side that boost up a lot of performance

For Irangan & Sanko

I'm using I96PD703 bios modded bios :  http://www.lejabeach.com/DFI/dfiinfinity965s/I96PD703RHX.zip
Not sure about DFI original 703 beta bios

now i dun dare to open up my proc to try coz its still brand new in a box
if cant boot i might just consider selling it without opening it.... latest lose more money

hmmm....mind to tell me how do u set the values in bios before u changing ur pric????izzit all defualt or u set to 333 x 9 then only change to the E6850

LOLZ.... Ya la... I didnt test modded bios as it is not in .bin format.

Anyway too late already

I already bought new board

Raymond, I believe that belongs to someone right.

Damn, with that, you're making me more tempted to get E6850 liao.

u reaslly just clear cmos and put in the proc???i really scared after i open and it wont work then i have to sell it....and its opened it will be lower price liao

well tried the official 0703.... it wont work...a bit reluctant to try to modded one...btw the modded one u just change the file extension to .bin rite?

bios rom checksum error - system halted
any clue on why these error message appear?
2weeks old dfi 965-s board

clear cmos then load in new proc 
stock dfi 703 bios can boot too np bro...........
new mobo good ka !!!
ASUS OH............
