Many are awaiting a full review...be patient I just got it but have learned a few things already...
1) Epox boards suck!!! Just kidding I think...They are so picky....
2) I can get ram to 1.6@2.6ghz w/ 163fsb for 436mhz ddr....last place I can run it without having restart issues...yes I can boot into 166fsb for 442mhz ddr and even get 3340/3336 in sandra...restart and I have a slim chance of restarting...tried pretty much all settings and timings and all available voltages as well as raising vcore a notch from previously stable vcore with the cpu....
Little test.....
Divx encoding of movie...
Base is my previous best mark at 1.6@2.736ghz with 342mhzddr w/ 2.5,6,3,3
1.6@2.736 342ddr = 2 hr 15min
1.6@2.60 432ddr (cas 2.5)= 0 min
1.6@2.62 438ddr (cas 2.5)= - 1 min 40 sec
1.6@2.64 440ddr (cas 2.5)= - 3 min 20 sec
1.6@2.72 340ddr (cas 2) = - 3 min 20 sec
1.6@2.74 342ddr (cas 2) = - 4 min
3dmark2k1 se (no real tweaking and ocing of vid card) just for comparison
1.6@2.60 432ddr (cas 2.5)=9558
1.6@2.62 438ddr (cas 2.5)=9608
1.6@2.66 332ddr (cas2.5) =9532
1.6@2.72 340ddr (cas 2) =9708
At current point unless I can solve the restart issues at high ddr speeds I may be happy to run cas2 at 2.736ghz as it appears faster...NOw if I could have gotten the ddr at 166fsb or 167fsb it likely would have done better then the cas2 at 2.736ghz (171fsb)
Still have some cadd test to do...
