    I bought this mother, did a bios upgrade to ver. F5 and all went ok... but after a reboot entered a power cycling boot.
    Im still looking for a solution

    support gForce graphic or only ATI?
  • ahron - Saturday, December 29, 2007 - link

    I thought that those screen shots were also of poor quality, they should have cropped them.

    Geez man, people will bitch about anything. I for one thought this lil quick and dirty article was a neat change of pace. It's not everyday anandtech rigs up a cascade cooling solution and breaks every world record out there.

    But. . . OMFG! I had to click an extra time to see the pictures! Whaaaaaa. Motherboards that aren't even relevant to this article don't work on 45nm because my friend says so. Whaaaaa. Douchebags.

    The bigger story is why doesn't 31/33 chipset boards work with 45nM CPU's. It doesn't pass the smell test.
    Didn't anyone notice? Care?

    These boards were made for 45nM CPU's and they don't work. Isn't that a "story"?

    The 3DMark 2006 screen shows two different scores. 15628 and 16128...

    How did this happen?
  • wingless - Sunday, December 30, 2007 - link

    6106 + 5881 + 8265 = 20252?!??!

    Those scores are wrong to begin with. WTF?

    That is the ORB link proving the score to be genuine.

    Secondly, 3D MArk 06 uses an algorithm to work oput the final system score, it is not a direct addition of the 3 scores as one would
    assume.

    The score in the £d mark original is form the previous bench. That score will not update until the current score window is closed.

    This stateoftheArt board has a floppy connector? Instead of, say, a second IDE?
  • strikeback03 - Wednesday, December 26, 2007 - link

    At this point I'd say both qualify at about the same level of usefulness - most people won't use IDE or floppy, a few will find them useful.
  • OccamsAftershave - Thursday, December 27, 2007 - link

    Completely disagree. This is an "enthusiast" board.
    No enthusiast needs a floppy -- except in the worst case of needed to get something off one from Grandma, and then they typically can get access to a flpy-drive somewhere else for transfer.
    OTOH, many enthusiasts have legacy IDE drives in the X00's of gigs, still useful as databuckets.
  • Guid - Friday, December 28, 2007 - link

    The floppy drive, lowly as it is, seems to come in handy only once in a a while. But when it does, I'm so very happy to have it.
  • comnut - Wednesday, November 19, 2008 - link

    yes, a floppy IS useful, until a PROPER FS is used for CDRs!!

    If you have crashed down to a dos prompt, you may be able to boot off your previously prepared CD, BUT if you forgot a few drivers or configs, you cannot 'just copy them on'...:(

    If it is a floppy, it can be done in seconds...
  • strikeback03 - Thursday, December 27, 2007 - link

    The only reason anyone needs a floppy these days is if a manufacturer didn't provide certain drivers via another method. The last DFI board I ordered had a floppy for RAID drivers IIRC.

    There are always external cases for old hard drives.

    Great scores! What is your Vgpu for a card?
  • Rajinder Gill - Tuesday, December 25, 2007 - link

    1.55V for the GPU. I have been meaning to get around to the OVP modification and also Hipro-5's inductor mods to see if the card will go further...

    Those Full desktop screenshots are really annoying (and not the way other articles in Anandtech are written).

    I realize this is just a quick-preview, but it would help a lot if you cropped those images to the relevant windows (or just do grabs of only the benchmark-windows in the 1st place).

    It also looks a bit amateurish in light of the polished presentation of the rest of the article and website.

  • Rajinder Gill - Tuesday, December 25, 2007 - link

    The extreme screenshots have to be taken this way - in order to make a submission to the Orb or Hwbot. Sorry you don't like them, but when a board is pushed hard we have to provide adequate proof.. Usually I cut them down further, but with a 4 program verification requirement there was little choice.

    The full article will feature graphs for the standard results. For extreme benches we stick with desktop shots..

    Do you have any pictures of the cooling setup?
  • Rajinder Gill - Monday, December 24, 2007 - link

    http://ld-phasechange.com/images/cascade_rotary/31...

    that's the bigger unit that I had to use on the GPU. It's too cold for the QX9650... The smaller unit is open without a case.. No pics on hand atm.. Drop me an email to remind me and I'll send them down when I get time...
