D ftw bro fuzore~!!

@ah_khoo
ur twinmos ram not selling in sg lg ke ?

sadly no more, can only hunt for 2nd hand unit only... if not i can do a small bulk here... 

MSI DKA790GX Platinum this board good for oc?
it says theres a switch for easy oc..
by tunning on off
anyone mind sharing the experience with the board?

may i know what steppin is ya 9950? vcore needed seems a 'lil high, even just for 3d benchable... 

i also wanna ask same question.. is this mobo good??
my friend use this mobo for his 9950 proc.. he oc to 2.8, the vcore is 1.26 ony.. temp 45-55 ..
but mine, not oc, vcore 1.36.. temp 53-60... how can it be like this???

psu - penapis will bring 1k watt xigmatek
mobo - abg xixo jr
ram - me myself will bring my 10th ani
hdd - abg xixo benchies hdd

d latest official bios is still 12/26 mah, lazy to try beta bios... 

I'm using it n it's quite good ah.. I could oc my 9850BE up to 3.2ghz with it but not prime stable..
The switch meh? Hehehehe, i don't think u gonna use it that much coz when u use it it would only oc the bus speed..
It would not bump ur cpu volt or adjust ur mul.. Soo don't expect too much of getting to 3ghz stable just by switching the switch, i tried n it won't run stably due to insufficent cpu volt..
The besh is u should use the bios for a better ocing..

actually i didnt set the clock speed in the bios yet.
just setting the switch tat it provide on that board.
i am using AMX4 9950 2.6ghz , and when i check it run at 3.1ghz

not stable tho like u said..

nak hdd jer kan? no problem to bring empty hdd..
haha... baru ingat nak instal hackintosh..

really meh? i thought have official normal bios... for phenom, and oso for biasa2 nie

Here’s a better look at what Intel techs see with that thermal imager. Intel’s DX58SO (Smackover) board uses 6-phase voltage regulation, and you can see how the power circuitry is heating up evenly around the CPU socket. Notice that the phase balance is nearly perfect, with no hot spots standing out. This means the board has very even current distribution, enabling you to get more current out of the VR. Intel engineers purposefully push more current into outer phases where the air is cooler to help facilitate this heat balancing.

Some competing X58 boards use 16-phase VR, which looks much more impressive on paper. More is better, right? Not necessarily. Testing in this room reveals that the competitor’s product will show a significant load imbalance, even driving two or three of the phases into “catastrophic thermal conditions.” Intel explains that “catastrophic” can start at about 120̊ C. At this temperature, a thermal runaway condition, like a feedback loop, can set in and start roasting components. Real danger sets in around 150̊ C, at which point the PCB can start to carbonize. If the board standing vertically in its chassis during this situation, elements can desolder and components can actually slide off of the board.

Fortunately, this Smackover is evenly distributed, allowing it to be pushed harder. It’s 6-phase power can handle up to 140A or 200 watts. That competing 16-phase board tops around 130A and 180 watts.

That's just it, it just change the HTT speed and nothing more.. U can't expect it to run 3.1ghz at stock vcore right?

baru check tadi, xde lah... 

something for u guys to know, more phase of pwm not necessarily better...
Source

so those a$u$ wannabe, think twice...     

some chip can thou, but not even my ex 9950... 

Then we should be happy with our dfi 4+1 digital power phases then

You n mine both, but ur's is much better ah.. I can't even run my cpu 3ghz at lower core volt than 1.37v..

eh.... suddenly i nak beli dfi plak....

corrected... 

eh.... suddenly i nak beli dfi plak....

aper racun u dah minum ?? D ker or B ker

miahaha.. kuat nye racun.. adess.. abis laa..  D factor

There is no poison included in this thread actually just have to choose now .... coz in my head are this two ASUS or DFI only....

mak aii.. plz sponsor me..

i'm not anti a$u$ actually, what pissed me off bout their high end stuffs is they're always way overpriced. they always target those who got lotsa $$$ to burn while forgettin those w/ limited budget...
