I might be intersted in this board and some 4850's in the nest few months.

Yay for AF waterblocks! 6.5GHz on a E8600 isn't bad either... 652 FSB...

So what's the major differences between the PLUS and the non-PLUS? I have the non-PLUS and want to know what i'm missing out on other than 2 extra SATA ports.

I would love to know the answer to this question as well? Also, does anyone know if the heatpipes leave room for a large cooler such as a Tuniq tower? It looks like it would be really close.

I'm considering this or the non-plus version. Non-plus version is 20 bucks cheaper...

ljason8eg

Yes, the NB cooler is not that high and the heatpipes are out of the way, the Tuniq, TRUE, and my Noctua NH-U12P fit just fine.

EDIT: added a pic of my CPU cooler clearing the NB. (yes there are a bunch of old toys on the shelves!) lol

nafljhy

i got the non-plus before the plus came out... =\

the only physical difference that i can see is the extra 2 sata ports..

edit: i just did a search on the two and it seems the only difference is the 2 sata ports.. erh.. that what was said on tom'shw anyway.

Anyone know the max safe NB voltage for this board? I think that's what's limiting my OC as no amount of Vcore seems to make 3.5GHz stable. I'd like to up the NB volts, but have no clue how far is safe.

I'm assuming the CPU VTT is the FSB voltage, correct? Cause i remember that being at 1.4-1.5v on my old 680i, but that seems way too high on this board...

geeze...this BIOS is complicated lol.

I'm kinda stuck at 3.4GHz, that's why i'm asking these questions. Vcore increases no longer seem to be working, so there must be something else i need to increase, i just don't know what it is, and i'd rather not start going around raising random voltages when i'm not really sure what they even do, or what levels are safe

I cant find anywhere in the bios to set manual fan speeds for the fan headers on the board. NB/chipset, etc.

Is this possible?
