BIOS Features
Welcome to the new Walhalla of BIOS features, I'm not discussing all of them but this is a tweakers wet dream. I think DFI is the only manufacturer that ever came close to what we see in this BIOS in terms of tweakability. With ANY 590 series mainboard you'll receive a custom BIOS that exposes and allows settings as displayed today. Manufacturers will not be certified if they dumb down the BIOS. With the 590series you get choices my friend.
This is your new bootup screen. Press "Del" here would ya ?
NVIDIA felt it was important to display the current parameters of components, including a very wide range of frequencies, multipliers, and voltages so users would have more information to adjust settings manually. Let's dig in.
Here is an example on Adjustable Voltages alone.
- The CPU voltage can be adjusted from 1.85V to 0.375V in 25mV increments.
- The Memory voltage can be adjusted from 1.825V to 2.5V in 25mV increments.
- The HT CPU to nForce SPP voltage can be adjusted from 1.225V to 1.4V in 25mV increments.
- The HT nForce SPP to MCP voltage can be adjusted from 1.325V to 1.5V in 25mV increments.
- The nForce SPP voltage can be adjusted from 1.25V to 1.4V in 50mV increments.
- The nForce MCP voltage can be adjusted from 1.525V to 1.7V in 25mV increments.
- The Auxiliary voltage that goes to the MCP core while in standby and is used to keep the MCP active in sleep mode, can be set to 1.6V or 1.7V.
In this article we'll cover all that you need to know about the nForce 790i Ultra SLI. This is the mainboard that applies to you guys. We'll do the review in Guru style. Meaning the real hands-on experience combined with all data you like to learn, gamers style. Obviously we'll test and compare a little as well. But first let me show you the technical specifications of the NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI before we attack it with red peppers and drive it to the extreme. NVIDIA made sure that the nForce 790 series is one of the if not the best overclocking platform available. But you will pay top dollar for it, yet by overclocking you will gain that invested revenue back, that's a guarantee.
NVIDIA nForce 780i SLI review - XFX
The industry has been moving forward and we now see slow adoption of PCIe 2.0, new Intel Penryn (45nm) Core 2 processors are close to it's release and then of course the launch of NVIDIA's 3-way SLI last week which for 780i meant adoption of (3x) 16x PCIe slots. Time for the good old nForce68-i to get an upgrade to the all new nForce 780i.
NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI Intel preview
Reason enough for NVIDIA to release the nForce 500 series for Intel's processors (Core 2 Duo as well). Today we'll be taking a brief look at the reference NVIDIA NFORCE 590 SLI mainboard. It by all means is test done with a reference board that is not 100% finished and unfortunately we did not receive a final product from a board partner like ASUS. Nonetheless .. even with this very Beta reference mainboard I was shocked by the combination of Conroe and NFORCE 590 SLI for Intel, in very positive way I must add.
NVIDIA nForce 590 + AMD FX-62
In this article will specifically test the NFORCE 590 SLI platform, yet obviously we'll also have a brief look at the entire NVIDIA NFORCE 500 series of chipsets. We also look at the New AMD64 Athlon FX 62 processor and this'll also be a meory review with Two Corsair DDR2 1066 MHz memory kist that have (Sli Ready) EPP functionality.
