Wowzer.


You tried changing the thermal paste on them?


Getting any more for Tri and Quad?

I'm looking at the Accellero S1 conversion at the moment - and if I do that I'll change the TIM.

As for getting a couple more, I'm waiting now until the 4870's come out next week. I have two of those ordered for day of launch (25-6-08) and those I'm going to water-cool.

OK cool.


Any one else got one yet?


Dont make me buy one to give WJA some company, he looks lonely in here all on his own. :D
 
well the reason i didnt try this board was that i didnt want to be a guinea pig
especailly as the j&w p35 had some issues.

Hows the disk controller of this x48?

i thought id stick to asus, familiar with the bios (although its now got all this skewing nonsense amongst other unfamilar settings lol) etc..

have you tried an asus p45 board yet? they seem to be easily hitting 500mhz fsb
with the quad Q9's

I've had 7 or 8 ASUS boards in the last 2 years and only the cheap ones have been stable or reliable. There are plenty of other manufacturers to choose from, so no, I've not tried ASUS.

What use is 500FSB+ if you need the 6x multiplier? I can produce screenies of that all day if you like. This board does 460FSB utterly stable (F@H/OCCT/Prime stable) with the 8x multiplier on my Q9450. That's a little over 3.6GHz and I haven't seen many boards that will better that.

What do you want to know about the disk controller? I'm using 2 disk RAID0 on the ICH9R, and that's fine.
 
lol go through this thread, http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=189437

plenty of 7,8 & 9 multiplier quads easily doing 500 fsb

i can even do 495 with my yorky Q9250 at 6 & 7 on air all on default settings (not even messed around with voltages yet)

can this x48 even do 500 if you drop the multiplier, didnt come accross it in your review :D


i would have thought the x48 would have been using the newer ICH10 controller like the p45 range

be back later :D

You sure you're not just here for a bit of thread-trash?

Yes, the motherboard will do well over 500FSB if the CPU is up to it. And none of the X48's use the ICH10R controller, but you knew that already, didn't you?

Now, if you actually have a sensible query on this motherboard, then ask away. Otherwise, why not go off and buy, use and enjoy something else?

dont be silly :rolleyes:, im always changing my motherboards,
i enjoy uising different boards not to the extreme as you probably do

all my questions and statements are valid

now back to the disk controller, does anyone else know if its any good
there were reported issues with the p3 series
http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=10807505&postcount=12
which may have plagued this board too

also any results of this board giving >500fsb with the Q6/Q9's

would be interesting to see some figures

any other J&W JW-X48D2-Extreme users out there who could give valuable feedback :)

edit: while your here

did you not get to try your ES chip, should be good to see results from as it is "known to run in excess of 500FSB" ;)

I have an ES Yorkfield with a 7x multiplier that is known to run in excess of 500FSB, so that's next I think.

I'm struggling to see what your purpose is though?

There were no issues with the ICH9 on the P35 board. It wasn't an ICH9R, so they had to fudge it to make it run AHCI with NCQ under Vista. ASUS, Gigabyte etc. had all done that fudge out of the box, but J&W hadn't. They implemented it within a week in the next BIOS release.

I'm not interested in blowing up a perfectly good Q9450 by using huge volts on it. If you check out what Cob has had to do to get over 500FSB on his P5Q he's having to use fairly big voltages to get it to run SuperPi. To get his best overclock with the Q6600 he's showing 1.6V in Windows, so I believe he's running 1.7V in the BIOS. I got to Page 9 in that XS thread and there was only 1 person

Patience. That's in another Intel motherboard I have here for testing at the moment.

What are you running at the moment?
