Thraxz Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 I've not the gear to hook it up yet (PSU, ram), however! Here it is in person! DO NOTICE...EVERY CAP IS SOLID AND IS IN A $140 BOARD WITH AN ICH8R NOT JMICRON (though it has jmicron too but not for the main.) Got the board... pics coming up in edit.

THEnumber337 Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 AWESOME! What kind of camera do you have? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC FLMJIG Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Beautiful board. Terrible pics! Closeups aren't too bad. If I were to do a C2D right now and didn't matter $ that is what I'd buy over any board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mousekin Posted April 12, 2007 Posted April 12, 2007 Looks awesome. Please keep us updated as I'm looking to build a couple of C2D in the next 2 months and this board looks like a good one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Great looking board. Nice to see DFI get away from that ugly green pcb. I've also heard that the black pcb is thicker and sturdier than the old green boards were. I'm interested in seeing the o/c performance and voltage hold up as DFI chose to go with a 4-phase power scheme instead of the 6-phase like on the 975X/G board. Let us know how it goes Thrax.

p0tter Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Ive seen a ton of 450-500FSB 1mb super pi's on xs... unimpressive.. Looking forward to some stable OC's from the Streets! Thanks Thrax, subscribed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEnumber337 Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 Ive seen a ton of 450-500FSB 1mb super pi's on xs... unimpressive.. I agree. Super Pi is all well and good if you are benchmarking or doing it for bragging rights. However, I have had quite a few occasions where I have passed 32M and then failed within the first 5 minutes of Orthos. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wevsspot Posted April 13, 2007 Posted April 13, 2007 That is why SuperPi isn't a requirement for any of the OCDB's here at the Street. Orthos, Memtest and 3DMark series are the best tools for determining system stability. A 1M SuperPi calculation at 12 seconds doesn't mean diddly if the rig ain't stable.
