Speed really.

Read : 5956 / 5577
Latency : 51.5 / 58.4

Not sure how it effects real time performance but ive heard maybe 4-8 fps in games

Right, I should have this little fella delivered tomorrow. Mainly because:

1. The AGP/ PCI expressx16 dual goodness - I've got a Galaxy 6800GT at the moment which is still strong, but will probably upgrade in the next 6 months or so...

2. I have the dreaded NForce 3/ 6800GT pausing and freezing problem. I've tried EVERYTHING for the last year to sort it. If in doubt see this massive thread at NVnews http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=32759

I've been running my 6800GT at 380/1100 at 1.4 volt modded for the last 6 months or so. This works ok in most stuff, but gets the checkerboard effect in some games and 3dmark 2001. Apparently via based boards can run the 6800 series at normal volts ok, fingers crossed this one can do too (I've really had it with fannying aroung with this nforce 3 - MSI neo 2 plat by the way)

So, is anyone else planning on getting the new ULi M1695 based board, if so post your thoughts and results here...


Slightly off topic but thats my thread over on nvnews! Sweet, didnt know it was still a sticky... rofl.
 
No, its an excellent mobo for the price,

Its just in my own experiance i cant run my ram at the rate i could in my previous motherboard.

Others dont seem to have this problem and a newer bios may fix this.
 
orderd it,hope l dont have to return it
have a abit av8 3eye with no problems
was getting this mobo so l could use my x800xt pe for another year before going to pci-e

Thanks spell,

Perhaps its my Corsair 3200 memory.

Ive tried slackening the timings but its only when i change to 2T that i get that link to load :confused:

Odd....I'm using the Geil Value and quite happy at 1T. I tried earlier with Four sticks, two Geil Value and two Adata; had to drop to 2T but apart from that no problems.

I gather from Ocworkbench that there's another beta-bios; still at the moment I'm happy with 1.2 and probably won't change for the time being.

I am hunting for a ABit AV8 3rd Eye motherboard, you selling?

I thought that to,

It passed every memtest i through at it and showed no errors.

Only browsing the odd page did i find the error.
 
I've ordered a ASRock mobo but my current Cosair PC3200 Cas2 looks like its starting to fail getting memory errors that i've never had before.

So i was thinking of getting the Giel value 2GB kit.
I don't really plan on doing much overclocking I'd just like to be able to run the RAM at 1T cmd rate and preferably CAS 2.5 aswell.

Is this possible with this mobo/ram combination?

Got a nice new Athlon64 3000+ venice core coming so it should be a nice gaming rig till dual core takes off, and i can afford it!

Yes, it does. It has 2 x IDE connectors, 1 x floppy connector (below the bottom PCI slot), 2 x SATA connectors and 1 x SATA2 connector.

great stuff thanx for the help going to order it in the next week or so

Doesn't seem to need chipset cooling fans....and it does mean that it is a nice quiet board...
 
Ordered one of these, along with a X2 3800 and another pair of Corsair 512MB PC3200 modules.

It should all be arriving Tuesday - so I'll let you know how I get on running 4 sticks and also if it has any X2 stability issues (I really hope not) .

Cheers,
G.
 
Hi guys and gals
Does anyone know if a Ti4200 will run on one of these and whether the AGP slot is 8x only or up to 8x ?

Thanx

The board is up to 8x; some people have found that their boards run best at 4x for instance.
 
wow, talk about a fast reply !!!!
Thanks spell, well it looks like I'm ordering one of these little beauties and upgrading my GFX card nearer xmas.

Thanx agian

Have one of these arriving tommorrow.
I was impressed with it in Anands review, and its an ideal upgrade option.

Does anyone know what the ULi Raid performance is like, as I always run a Raid 0 on my games rig?
 
Not sure about the RAID0 performance but the SATA-II performance is fantastic but you can only run one SATA-II drive.
 
Just waiting on my ASRock board now, if OCuk had stocked :mad: it I would have it now as I just recieved my GeIL value 2GB RAM, Athlon64 3000+ and WD SATA II 16MB cache 250GB Hard drive. :)
Should be good when I get the board to finish it off.
