OldGuy Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I selected This Memory. That's insanely disgusting!!!!!!! I'm leaning more toward the HZ's (if and when I decide to do it). I'm also considering an Opteron but a 4600 X2 Windsor is almost too cheap to pass up. Anything with a 1mb L2 is almost twice as much as it's similarly clocked counterpart with a 512mb L2... Get to work guys and show some results!!!!!! :eek: I'm curious to see some SLI numbers as well and if there be any bugs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praz Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I've been looking at an Opty myself. Right now I'm kind of on the fence between going with one of these setups or waiting for a LanParty Conroe board. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspevacek Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I have a set of OCX Platinum 6400's that work great with my AM2... I had the Patriot 7200's they worked great in the Infinity bu twhen dropped in an Asus Crosshair they would hard lock the board. I turned in the Pats and got a OCZ's.

Sorrento Posted September 3, 2006 Posted September 3, 2006 I selected This Memory. What would the price be if I put my own motherboard, cpu and all the other hardware???? Reminded me of when i bought 4 new tires for my car a couple of years ago: the price was insane, i was like "hey, the car is already mine!!!!"

s e t h Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 ive got about 1-2 hours left on dual-prime for an SSDB entry with the new Lanparty SLI AM2 updates as they come glaring problem that i see right out of the box = no 1T CPC, but that isn't really a big deal since I've already shown that 1T vs 2T is nothing on the AMD cpu i have 1T timing selectable in the bios dated 08/03/2006 in cpu-z i can install a stiffy drive and send it to you if you like? My sig not displaying so here's a copy Am2 LanParty 8/3/6 - X2 4000+ 2x1gb - team xtreem - 800 raptor 35gb - 2x zalman a-open 700watts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC FLMJIG Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 1T is available but to have a nice OC it's, seems, impossible thus far. On my Ultra 2 I can go down to 667 @ 3 3 3 @ 1T but it's slightly better to run it 800 @ 4 4 4 @ 2t, believe it or not. Not huge difference.

Angry_Games Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 i have 1T timing selectable in the bios dated 08/03/2006 in cpu-zi can install a stiffy drive and send it to you if you like? all i see is superpi, which won't show overall cpu/RAM stability if you can do 24h of SP2004 (Orthos for dual core) or Prime95, then you can put an entry in the SSDB section otherwise, 1T is still not a viable option (i've tried numerous times with tight and loose timings, but this platform is still very new to me so I am learning my way also) 2T works like a champ and allows some serious overclocking, and really has no performance penalty (unless you are anal retentive and MUST have that extra 2% performance, but 1T won't allow nearly the overclock that 2T will) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikjadoon Posted September 4, 2006 Posted September 4, 2006 HAHAHA!! I GOT THE FIRST REVIEW! REVIEW!! Sorry, just a little excited! Once again DFI manages to steal the thunder from the big shots as far as the enthusiastic crowd is concerned. There’s no denying that the DFI nForce 590-SLI will be the choice of enthusiasts for the AM2 platform for now. ASUS does have their CrossHair motherboard coming up and we would certainly be interested in comparing it with this DFI. However, until then, this board sets the standard. ~Ibrahim~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soap Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Looks like and strong offering from DFI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC FLMJIG Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 What's the difference between this nf5 and the other am2 nf5? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thraxz Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 Nothing, just the charcterisics of how each board is engineered and their respective BIOS. I'd wager mostly on the later. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspevacek Posted September 5, 2006 Posted September 5, 2006 I think the Digital PWM is going to prove to be a very good asset to this board, just call it a hunch....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
