i know for certain people it serves the best. but for me.. thats enough.. i used lp nf590sli b4. and i faced most of problems regarding the bios and boot... i thought after i flashed to new bios everything gets better but its worst.. and it ended at rma stores.. thats why i keep using this gilabyte although it doesnt served like dfi`s tweak

I've used 2 DFIs.
The 1st was a NF4 LP Ultra-D.
That board was a pain in the arse the first 2 months i got it.
However, after some tweaking, a lot of reading from forums, it works like a charm and i started falling in love with it.

My 2nd DFI is Ah_Khoo's ex DFI.
I can say, so far this is the easiest plug and play board i've used.
Plugged in everything, booted 3.2Ghz on 1st boot.
Very minor ram tweaking. If i have HPR i think no tweaking needed at all.
The board had been superbly stable as of today, i've never crashed even once running on 3.2Ghz...

So basically, it differs from Models. The LP 590 SLI seems to be a problematic one i heard. There were quite many issues with it.

Btw, if you want a nice proc, check out garage, Xixo's ex F3 is now on sale.
Better grab it fast, that should outperform any average BEs when it comes to OC.

yup definitely.. my last lp 590 seriously give me lots of problem.. btw is the F3 expensive from others??

i've good time with my ex-NF590 SLI..it's really serve me well..
but last end up rma coz of my greediest..overdose voltage when i try to push my BE to 3.6Ghz..

BTW..that's my 1st expensive board...

yeah me too.. 1st ever and ever expensive board i had afford.

It's slightly more expensive.
The current owner's expecting price is around RM250.
You can drop him your offer, the only reasonable offer i've seen up until now is RM200.

The LP590 was one board that i wanted so much, but did not get to own it.
I like the colour of the ram slots...

My current board has a combination of Yellow-Green, doesn't match AMD-ATI.

Well, DFIs are known to be boards that requires tweaking and a lot of trial and error before getting the perfect setting.
Once you get the setup properly, remember to save the bios and everytime after that, you can just load using Cmos reloaded and the thing will be kicking again.

The 1 thing i like most about my 790FX is where you can actually set a different booting up HTT and a running HTT.
So basically you will boot into post, then get stuck when it's loading windows if you clock it too far...

d bios reset function oso make resettin bios easier, but it could be better if they implement d ez switch like abit.

a superb board i must say...

bro
need advice
recently i bought dfi dk
so my prob is which cpu to choose

which cpu is better in terms overall performance
such as oc,features,performance,games

AM2 X2 4000 | fatalynx05 | Abit AN-M2HD le | OCZ Vista Upgrade 1GBx2 | pc6400@877mhz | 4-4-4-11 | Cooler Master Gemin II

here my stable setting huhuhu...


i wanna ask something to senior...my system cannot hit 300 barier..even i lower the proc multiplier / ddr ratio / loose some timing / lower Htt multiplier
still cannot exceed fsb 300... is it my mobo limitation?? thx

Got try loose the ram timing?

maybe ur brisbane reached its limits..
to set higher htt need to lower the proc multi..
how u set the proc multi n voltage?

It's been a while since my last visit here

No benchies for X3 or X4 user ?

There is but X3 only so far.X4 got but BE Edition.

Evil depends on what usage but if multi tasking performance =Phenom 9550
Since NO ONE know the OC ability,Phenom has better features though but you know Quad core does not ultilises all the core when gaming.

Overall :

AMD 5000 BE :Good on Overclock,Normal Features if compare to AMD Phenom,Performances lose if Multitasking,Better gaming than using Quad Core

AMD Phenom 9550 :Unknown Overclock Potentional,Great Features and better than 5000 BE,Performance much more better if multi tasking,On Par/Loses performance on Gaming

So now pick your choice.

yeah..5K BE i good for Overclockers..but since u're using DK i would suggest u to go on phenom..otherwise u won't actually utilize DK performance..it meant for phenom actually..

Like bro AMDAthlon said..Phenom 9550 is build for multitasking but i doubt on how it actually handle it..since i still can't find any review on OC ability..but still another doubt it won't pass 3.0Ghz Oc'ing..

but still u got another option on X3..it worth an upgrade for X2..with extra core added it won't bottleneck ur gaming performance..and for sure it can pass 3.0Ghz oc'ing..someone have done it with same board as yours..

BTW i'm selling my X3 if u're interested..hehe...

Btw mr habuk u seems so confirm that 9550 cant reach 3.0 ek?Have try search on google?

Finally got myself a 5000+ BE today...

tried already...seem ocer prefer to use BE 9850 than lower Quaddy..
cannot find any..but don't know if got in any other language..

but so far i can't found any...

BTW did found once..forgot edi where..but he only managed to get 2.5Ghz stable..

^i think that one is 9500

Hi, i'm rather new to AM2 procs here..

Between the 5000 and 5000BE, besides the lack of heatsink for BE and multi unlocked, is there any significant difference between the two chips? In terms of revisions etc.

d new b.e tends to clock better imo.
