Commando Results by Tony and Andre (and others...)

[HermS]

I'm still messing around trying to get this board running nice, clockgen keeps hardlocking the PC no matter what which is making life difficult, but it will boot to windows at 9 x 400 2:3 DDR2 1200 - 1066 strap no problem.

[Viss]

Very nice. Compared to P5B:



The big question (at least for me ) is what happens with 4/5 divider and about 450 FSB. Could you please run that at multi 8 or 9?



Too bad clockgen isnt working. Curious how far you can get booting at 400 and cg up using 4/5 divider. Thanks for testing.

Can someone please confirm if this board operates as two x8 pci express slots or one x16 and the other x4 when two cards are slotted in.

Thanks.

James.

0.02Vdroop here (IDLE/LOAD)

460x8 with 4:5 divider work, but 465 wont boot (mem do 600Mhz without problems)

0.02Vdroop here (IDLE/LOAD)

same here, but with droop mod only 0.005v

Here you go:-




Obviously it's just a fresh install of windows and no sub-timings or additional windows tweaks have been made.

tomorow , we are going to test one , With 6600 , ~600fsb capable , and under 3stages phase change (made by skirms) and ln2.

[matinez]

Did anyone try +500fsb?
Mine can't do.. 1:1

500FSB @ lowest voltages in Bios



max. with the X6800 is 530FSB

I'm also curious how the other x16 slot performs... I want to use a graphics card in the primary x16 slot and an Areca RAID card in the other slot... hoping it will run x16 on the primary and x4 (or x8) on the secondary.

Can anyone confirm by spec or BIOS, the x16 slot options for this board?

Thanks!

Thank you for testing. Seems right on par with P5B.

Thanks for asking, that's exactly what I want to know too and exactly the same reason why! The manual says the second slot is for graphics wth Crossfire support and says nothing about other types of PCIe cards. Without any PCIe x1 slots, only PCI, if you can't add any other PCIe devices it'll be practically unique for a new mainboard, very odd indeed.

Thats good work Pippo, what NB and VFSB voltage did you use for that?

Pt1t it's tomorrow already where are you

[dinos22]

anyone else having trouble using clockgen.....i know HermS has some issues

[Counter CS]

Nice job pippo369

[davekusa]

pippo369 nice work.

What kind of cooling and what kind of memory?

What kind of issue
..everything works fine for me

[hht5555]

For the U.S buyers eWiz.com has this Asus Commando for $215. compare to Zipzoomfly list as $299 & back order
Not sure if it's typo on the price or not, but I ordered once.

[Antioch]

ewiz doesn't actually have it in stock, and when they do get it in stock with will be a few days after other e-tailers get it. My friend tried to order his 8800GTX from them and they were tricky like that. They list it as in stock to see how many people buy it and to estimate popularity...

This is my setting for suite test:

Look my signature.
Bye!

Yeah, I'm using the same PLL as with the P5B, but sometimes even moving 1MHz from stable settings will hard lock, other times it works and then sometimes it won't even read the clocks... wierd stuff man. I'm gonna try setFSB and see how that fares.


@ pippo, thanks for the screenies mate
