MSI 975X Platinum 2.B Results

[Lestat]

Has anyone bought this board from ewiz or mwave? Are they confirmed to be supporting of Conroe and they don't say in their description that they are V2.B or V2.A ?

you missed the big a$$ thread about this board but you dug this up from 2 months ago ?

Hmm, I think your the 3rd or 4th person here who ordered from Ewiz. Nice Lets hope this board gives good results.

Can you guys point out a northbridge cooler that would fit this mobo?

I was looking at at P5W DH till now, but i now see this MSI is available for about $35 CND less.

I eagerly await the results of those who just ordered this.

If it is anything like the MSI 975 boards which coolaler had, this thing is gonna be a monster OCer, probably even better than the P5W-DH and the BadAxe.

Yeah, i somehow hadn't heard of this mobo till now, so i hope they can all give the same kind of results

I'm ordering mine next week and depending on availability I should have it by the end of the week. All thanks to this review.

BUMP

Does anyone know where to get a working bios for the 2.b.... My 4:5 divider quit working.

ok, I too am jumping on this bandwagon... just ordered the board from the egg.. $174.99 on sale right now..

that's the one, right? says version 2... I assume that's it. hope so. lol. I have 2gb of G.Skill pc2-6400 4-4-4-12 for it.. hope to get my 6600 to something in the 3300+ ballpark.

edit: I am going to try this nb cooler on it.. should be interesting.

Just think.... for another $50.00 you could have a real board (P5B/P5W) that actually works. Sorry, sometimes the truth hurts.... Regards-

Yeah right, more heat, slower clock for clock. Sure high FSB on this board is awesome but more doesn't always translate into performance. My DS3 went back to Newegg. Everything about was slower than my MSI. But hey I'm happy and so are you.

Granted MSI is having some issues but I have no problems comparing my board at 400x9 with anyone at same clocks.

Damn, for a few day I thought there was hope, but clearly somethings never change...

I ordered from Ewiz. It supports conroe, the part number matches the one of the MSI 975X V2 (V2.1) Power Up edition. I am not sure if this is true though, will post results next week. Can't wait

That's the same one I ordered, but from the egg.. I didn't see a "powerup" edition available anywhere, but it shows v2.1.. the comments report great OCing ability and stability.. etc... typical newegg banter.. about 10% of it is worth reading, if that.. anyways, I get mine next week and will report experiences when I get it running.

[trenchdog73]

Well Igot my baord last friday from newegg, it didnt say power up edition but thats what came, I think power up edition just denotes its core 2 duo compat but then again I usually dont know what im talking about
Anyways Im able to get a stable 2.97 oc on air with out messing with the v at all so its good stuff. And as for them not working or having troubles lets just say I had more problems getting the psu in my thermaltake armor case then getting this board running lol. my only complaint is I had to manually set my ram and the MSI pc alert is for Shat:, voltages and temps reported are WAY off as in 182c for cpu temps and .1v on the 12v as soon as u get ur rig up just download core temp. board is used with a e6600.
