hi Guys
I am not sure if you read todays tom's hardware X58 showdown results

The full article is here:

all of those boards are shit for 3 card setups.

and how about for 2 cards set up ?

Binge · Feb 24, 2009

Their results are inconsistant

why would some 3D results on boards be different than others? It makes me remember that I do multiple runs of 3D mark tests and always get different scores. What I can vouch for is the heat of the DFI VRMs. They get wicked hot. Probably why my board failed.

I like my Rampage & saying it's shit cause you had one & didn't like it dude doesn't mean they are all shit lol. That cracks me up haha.

fit changes hardware so much he knows whats good and what isn't. He never even had a p6t Deluxe but he was right and the board was shit. So take what he says and use it wisely, he is usually right. :cool:

Fitseries3 · Feb 24, 2009

snipe is somewhat right.

its a decent board but...

for someone running 3 gpu's its not ideal.

also, there are too many odd bios options that just hinder the OCability.

i USED TO be a die hard asus fan but i have come to realize that their boards are not the greatest.

any board without the nf200 switch is not going to get the most out of 3gpus.

you might as well not even get a 3rd gpu unless you get either a p6t6 ws revolution or a evga classified.

i wish DFI would make a board with the nf200. that would be the biggest monster of them all.

It's a crap board. I had one too. The one I had worked better than Fit's as well. Still crap.

Your right there about the 3 gpu's seeing as the last slot isn't the same as the other 2. Dunno why they do this. I think they should all support fully for every slot. Seems stupid not to really.

That's your opinion mine is mint & far from crap for what I need. :toast:

The Haunted · Feb 24, 2009

It`s not a bad board, but for the premium price it sells here in canada... it`s pure crap don`t take it personally...
524$ is nonsense for a motherboard, unless it could go back in time or something cool like that

Chicken Patty · Feb 24, 2009

god one day at work, come back 3 new pages, christ!!!!! cant keep up :laugh:

n-ster · Feb 25, 2009

I know huh? I barely even post and all I want is read, but in couple hours many pages have just appeared

I know this might be annoying but... is UD4P able to OC to say, 3.5ghz well with a normal i7 chip ( I believe almost all x58s can no?) and If so, what are the advantages of having this DFI x58 if I only want to OC to 3.3~3.6 on air? is it worth it to pay 300$ instead of 210$ for it?

Fitseries3 · Feb 25, 2009

Fitseries3 said:
2ghz mem...

yeah... maybe im good with OCing but i want to let you guys know...

i reset the bios and got these results in about 7 minutes from stock. mostly auto settings.

most chips and ram can do this on a good x58.

n-ster · Feb 25, 2009

but is it worth it to OC so much? must be burning hot... and lifespan must be VERY short...

PaulieG · Feb 25, 2009

OK guys, this is really strange. So, before I boxed up the DFI, I decided to give it one more try. I took out 2 of the Ram sticks, cleared the cmos, and restarted. IT BOOTED!! So, thinking maybe it was a bad stick of ram, I repeated the one stick boot with each stick. Each time, it booted again. So, I put all of the sticks back in, and tried to boot again. No go. I once again received the post 88 code. So, I took 2 of the sticks out, and booted. This time, I went into the bios, and took the dram timings off of "auto" and set the timings manually. I shut down, then replaced the 2 other sticks. Started it back up and NOW it boots!! WTF? For some reason, this board does not like auto dram timings unless you're using just one stick. Anyone ever see this before??

never seen that but if it is fixed go with it.

n-ster · Feb 25, 2009

Maybe the auto settings were messed up? or did you put higher timings so that the CPU didn't stress as much? Yea I saw that happening sometimes...

P.S: I'm quite fond of Tesla... lol.. very off-topic
