Abit 650i Fatal1ty or QuadGT?

on the Asus it changes ~424fsb.

I'm guessing your referring to the Asus P5N-E SLi nForce 650i Sli - dropping to the 1333FSB Strap?

Apart from SLI & native IDE support the other advantage is the unlinked cpu/memory clocking.

I actually did think this was an advantage but is it? 1:1 runs better from what I've been told & also if you dont have very expensive/clockable ram, then surely using a divider wont harm performance much if not at all?

Buff judging from a majority of users & reviews, I think we have the best available board at present! Abit AB9 QuadGT the only annoyance I have is the fact it isnt very watercooling friendly unless you mod the OTES silent cooling which would have course void the warranty OR find a suitable cooler for the digital PWM controller.

The Abit AB9 QuadGT NOT dropping to the 1333FSB Strap above 401 FSB worth an extra 70FSB alone! from what ive read up on! what does this mean in terms of performance?

I cant really say much else as my rig in my spec isnt built as yet, awaiting a few new bits.
 
hi mine didnt arrive today and i was 99% that iot would...

i have a new lian li pc7b...ballistix....ACpro7... all new all waiting for my shiny new abit fpin9 and intel e6400 to arrive and i got let down.

yup, the P5N-E. It will be interesting to see if the abit does as well or if it is setup like the AB9s to run the 1067 all the time.

I would think it's an advantage with cheap RAM which can't run fast/tight.

I'm certainly happy with the QuadGT.
& Sean @Abit UK says that as long as you don't damage anything & can return the mobo to it's original condition that changing hs doesn't void the warranty.

afaik it's worth about 70fsb at the same corespeed but an extra ~100MHz overclock on the core using the 1333 strap also will equal the performance.
In other words with an E6300 you need to get an extra 15-20fsb using the 1333 strap to match the QuadGT performance on the 1067 strap.
 
Mine did'nt come. Bloody Citi-Link "misplaced" it but assures me they have found my package and it will be delivered today. It better be here today!!

Looks like a weekend build now guys. My partner is on holiday for two weeks :eek: now and has loads of jobs around the house lined up. :mad: New carpet to be laid, wallpapering and decorating etc. If i take her into town tomorrow that should free up the weekend for me to rebuild the pc. I will take some piccies of the board when it comes and will post my findings when i get it built.

**Edit** it's just arrived at last. Can't wait until the weekend so i am building it now. See you later. Byeee. :D :D :D
