Sure!

I do wanna play around with one. Have a couple 2GB DDR2-800 sticks laying around, and if I can get this board cheap, then I'll just go out and buy a Phenom.

Hi

Did you manage enabling 3 way Crossfire?

I could not, 3xHD3870, with MSI K9A2 Platinum V1.0 and with DFI 790FX-M2R, 8.3 Drivers.:(

EDIT: Was enabled in CCC, but 3DMark06 score was worst than just one 3870.

[AphexDreamer]

Im a Spider user to, I think? I just don't have a Phenom CPU, yet.

[zaqwsx]

Want to buy mine!

Well hell, put me down as the first 790X board owner :D

There's a 5000BE sitting under the HSF, waiting for an X3 by the end of the summer.

Couldn't find my halfway decent camera, so all those pics are off a webcam, lol. Still waiting on that free copy of Vista to get here from the Windows Feedback thingy. Hopefully not much sooner though...

[WarEagleAU]

Dude, Wiak, that is awesome. Aside from the 790FX chipset and the heatpipe cooling, that board is exactly as mine. Also, Kudos to AMD for bagging a kick ass stock cooler with that phenom.

[btarunr]

My ASUS M3A is on its way. Join me up :)

HOLY CRAP :eek: AMD bundles Class I heatpipe cooler (the one it used to bundle with Athlon64 FX 62) with Phenom 9850 BE!!!

[DanishDevil]

That is sweet that they bundled a great cooler with the 9850BE! That's good news, actually. That means I can whack a good $30 off the purchase price because I can get rid of my HSF now.

put me in for 790FX and 780G :P

Which 780G board do you have?

[jbunch07]

can i be in?
i got the gigabyte ma790fx board with cf setup on the way?!
<---- check specs

I'm taking a few days off from the forum because I've got finals, but I'll update everything after my previous post in a few days.

[Rurouni Strife]

I dont have any pics on me but just check my system specs
-ECS 780 GM A

WOO first 780G owner!

How is that ECS 780g? I was looking at AMD boards and that one looks like it has good specs.

[WarEagleAU]

Probably as good as you can expect to get from ECS. The Gigabyte board and I think MSI or ASUS board are pretty awesome.

[ShadowFold]

Yea idk how well my ASUS 780G overclocks since its just a media machine but im really tempted to get a nice cooler and try and OC it.

[Silverel]

Overclocking? Hrrrm.... Not the same board, but all the 780g chipsets should be close enough to the same things

[ShadowFold]

I meant CPU overclocking :p no point in ocing onboard chipsets! But dam 800mhz! I gotta try that :laugh:

[Rurouni Strife]

The ECS is a mixed bag honestly. It's stable, but the bios is kinda shoddy. I could chalk it up to being an "early adopter" because i got it days after they came out. It performs well and I think after another bios update or so it should be a totally reccommendable mobo. But for now I'd say get a Gigabyte or Asus or something.
OC wise, I'm stable at 2.64 ghz w/ ram at close to 600 @ 1T. Ram is rated ay 800 2T, but I usually dont mess with my ram timings. If you have a black edition you should be fine on the overclock, but if not you'll probably wanna look elsewhere due to bios issues.

[AphexDreamer]

Yeah, I have an M3A32-MVP Delux Wireless Edition. Can I join now?

[bullseye69mech]

I have the GigabyteGA-MA770-DS3 with a AMD X2 5000 (temporay until can find some more green for the Phenom ) 4 gig DDR2, 2 gigs installed running XP Pro with a HD 3870 512 MB running stock so far. Will crank it up a bit after a couple weeks break. Little Loud for now will post some pictures when I get some time......

[DanishDevil]

Hey guys, I actually went Intel :o

Who wants to take over the Spider Web? :)

[ShadowFold]

Welcome to the dark side :p im getting another 780G board for my server rig :) gonna have to have me twice on there :p I wouldnt mind taking over tho :)

[btarunr]

I haz hot ASUS M3A. Seriously, the engineers at ASUS were doing coke when designing a heatsink for the RX780.

[kenkickr]

I got me there a Asus M3A32-MVP Deluxe. No mods yet, waiting on my 9850 through work

[btarunr]

Why does the DRAM frequency go down by itself?

http://img.techpowerup.org/080430/bt.jpg

[DanishDevil]

Because you are changing multipliers, and the processors have the memory controllers on themselves as opposed to on the motherboard, they get scaled differently with different multis.

I'll keep being the big guy of the club for you guys.

Updated. My Intel system is up and running...please don't stone me :D

*throws stone* :D

how ya like the new system?

[DanishDevil]

I just benched it 3DMark06 @ stock 1.8Ghz and my stock 3870 and it scored 6.5k.

It got through SuperPi 1M in about 32s, though, and that's at 1.8GHz.

I have to say that so far, other than the learning curve, I'm not at all disappointed. Then again, it's been running for like 4 hours...

nice nice....you plan on doing crossfire?

[DanishDevil]

Nope! Bought a single x16 board.

I've owned crossfire boards since crossfire came out. I have never once used it. I just came to realize that I probably won't ever use it.

BTW - I beat my old SuperPi best by about 10 seconds :o

I'm not doing it again right now. Maybe tomorrow. Sorry guys. I'll get you updated soon.

[btarunr]

Hey put me into the 770 list. I'm not wannabe anymore.

[DanishDevil]

I will, I promise. I had everything perfectly edited and it disappeared...

But, I have to admit, I'll probably be busy OCing my E8500 today :D

[ShadowFold]

In your specs do you mean T2RS? M2RS is 790FX :) If it is the T2RS im gonna pick that up in a few weeks..

[DanishDevil]

Snap, yeah I do. In my specs is the P35, though :roll: but it is a T2RS. Got it @ 450 so far with no extra volts on the NB!
