Feedback on the DFI LP JR 790GX-M2RS

If you had vista 64 installed it would help I think if I recall right I scored 2 seconds better on vista 64 than Xp pro 64. I am sure that is why you cant get lower I have a profile in HWBOT. FatalOne it has my scores I am sure its that you are not using Vista 64

hmmm, you think? well I'm getting rid of the computer tomorrow, not worth doing a reinstall of the OS. Guess I'll never find out the cause of this. Thanks for the help though, really!

Its no problem thanks for helping me too. I am sure its cause you were using XP

this is XP 64 before memory tweaked
Athlon 64 6400+ X2 @ 3528mhz
wPrime 32m - 27sec 190ms - FatalOne (XtremeSystems)

this is XP 64 with memory tweaked
Athlon 64 6400+ X2 @ 3524mhz
wPrime 32m - 27sec 20ms - FatalOne (XtremeSystems)

This is Vista 64 before I tweaked the memory
Athlon 64 6400+ X2 @ 3462mhz
wPrime 32m - 25sec 580ms - FatalOne (XtremeSystems)

This is Vista 64 after I tweak memory
Athlon 64 6400+ X2 @ 3520mhz
wPrime 32m - 24sec 700ms - FatalOne (XtremeSystems)

Athlon 64 6400+ X2 @ 3528mhz
wPrime 32m - 24sec 640ms - FatalOne (XtremeSystems)

I couldnt figure out why I could not pass peoples scores and it was I needed Vista and the scores proved it.

guess this app just used certain advantages of vista

Yes it does I was all when I could not get better scores than others that had less memory and they did not have their CPU's clocked as high. I couldnt figure it out but I did some searching and found out that it performs better for Vista. I thought cant be that much of a difference and as you see there was lol

I see for myself now, weird, but I guess that was my issue. Thanks alot for your help bro, I dont have my rig no more as of tomorrow, but keep this thread alive bro, keep posting some updates.

The Phenom’s are odd chips to over clock still learning new things every day. My ATI card is about to kick the bucket soon I believe. I have not been pushing the system as much as I would like too. I have an issue with my first PCIE slot the card will not work in that slot. So when I get a card to test the first slot I will know if it’s the mother board. I get artifacts in some 3D games not all after looking around it seems that it’s the memory on the card. I pushed it too much and there is no helping this issue. If the motherboard is bad too maybe once I get a new one I can clock my Phenom higher. I really hope it’s not my board but will see I guess.

This is my first time with DFI and I hope it will be a good experience. I had build two computers with the ABIT Fatal1ty AN9 boards and those two boards I did every thing except piss on them and they are still running strong. Can’t wait to test that slot I hope it’s not the board since I sold my ABIT AN9 fatal1ty. The other board my bro had bought for himself I just put it together. Guess worst case I will be using my wife’s old single core Sempron 2.0 nooooooooo!

dude 3.8 GHz is a heck of a overclock dude, be happy!

 

[Fatal]

I am a overclocker we are never happy I was running it at 3.6 for 24/7 use still not pleased. I better chill out though like you said before my wife does this to me


Edit: has anyone had any luck with Dominators in these boards? My board has cause two sticks to fail and now I think my replacements are getting bad.

 

[Fatal]

Please read my edit above tried to just edit so I wouldnt double post but didnt work not sure it is suppose too.

My experience with this board was a short one - IGP cooked itself within few weeks of use, SMD caps 'n resistors on the backside of the chipset actually started smoldering.
¦.

RMA -> swapped it for a 790FXB-M2RS. Full x16 2.0 PCIe and two PCI slots always beat JR 790GX's PCIe x8 2.0 and one silly PCI.
¦p

I have no trouble with the temps its just the memory maybe if i replace my dominators it will be great. My first PCIE slot does not work I think have not tried another card on it to be sure of it though.
