Set the frame buffer to "disable" to disable it. That was stupid how onboard is still stealing memory when you use an external vid card.ikuto said:The options on Foxconn mothboard in the BIOS is just like my Epox ATX board with enough settings to overclock it a bit especially in the voltage settings area. The only feature missing that i would like in the BIOS is disabling the onboard video. I've contacted them giving them that suggestion and they replied back and said they will foward it to their R&D team, thats pretty cool . I've got the board moderately overclocked and using the BIOS temperature/fan monitor to keep things cool/quiet which is a nice touch . Foxconn is a popular brand in asia by the way. Another thing they can work on some more is the temp/voltage/fan monitoring utility, it works but not too pretty.
Excellent question. I have one (now at my dad's) and I was unable to find any BIOS options to adjust the VCore. It seems to overvolt quite a bit as is (can we say 1.45V on a Venice core A64-3200+) and I wanted to reduce the Vcore to lower the heat output.Ubyr said:hay, did anyone ever get & test one of the ASUS A8N-VM CSM's?
Soymilk said:from the foxconn oc thread, its prime stable up to 285fsb, it can post at 300 but it errors in prime in like 5 or 10 minutes.

Yeah, in fact the 754 OCs more reliably than the 939. Lots of times you'll get a 939 dud, but the 754s seem to be consistantly good OCers.Satyrist said:As per this thread:
http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=997144
Will this s754 TForce board overclock at all?
Anywhere as well as it's s939 cousin?
Curious.

Satyrist said:I was asking more if the board in question itself would, though...
Only asking because it's not a board currently listed in this thread.
I just picked one up too, basically based on the options it supposedly had according to this thread...boy am I disappointed! No multiplier control, no Vcore, no Vdimm with a Venice 3400+! Unless there is a hidden bios screen somewhere like on Gigabyte boards, this is a real letdown, I must say. I think Asus quality is really going downhill- there was not even any foam under the board-it was just wrapped in corrugated cardboard for protection And to think, I could have gotten the Foxconn for the same pricedrizzt81 said:Excellent question.

krick said:I'm considering getting one of the following boards. Help me choose...
ABIT IS-10
ASUS P4P800-VM
GIGABYTE GA-8IG1000MK
I'm a big fan of Abit boards. If I get the IS-10, I'll definitely use the modded BIOS.
I like ASUS boards as well, and option of using the Pentium M adapter in the P4P800-VM definitely interests me. However, the lack of overclocking options sucks.
Finally, I've never owned a Gigabyte board and I know nothing about them but it does seem to have some impressive overclocking options.
Can anyone comment positively or negatively about any of these boards from the standpoint of features, quality, reliability, etc...
Basically, I want to know anything positive or negative you've got to say about them.

cbecknet said:Besides the chipset revision for ECS from RS480-M to RS482-M, have their been any other upgrades to this board. Does the RS482-M have the same bios options as the RS480-M? The reason I ask is I'm looking for ATI M-ATX overclocking motherboard?
Angry_Games said:well
I just received one of these today
I didn't even know we were making one (because apparently it was not going to be sold in N America, but now it is so they made sure I received one).
I didn't even know what it was lol
but after opening the box and then remembering a few emails that passed through months ago, I am hoping this is what I think it is (and if not, I bet it will still be a quality mATX board)
I'll be putting something up at DFI-Street about it when I get some time to drag it out of the box and put it together, hopefully this weekend.
The only other mATX board that I have from DFI is the Infinity K8M800-MLVF, a VIA chipset solution for socket754. It was a decent board honestly, but since it was a VIA chipset, you know it was not an overclocker at all (this was even before the supposed 'lock' on PCI that no one can really confirm if VIA has done correctly since we all use Nvidia/ATI/Intel stuff now).
If this is one that was talked about in emails then it should be a pretty darn good overclocker, and possibly the video might be a very good overclocker (though an X300 gpu...I have a couple X300SE PCI-Express cards and they are great for a workstation that doesn't involve 3d Graphics, but very useless for gaming)
anyway, give me a few days to check this baby out and see what it'll do (I've got a 3200+ Venice and Opteron146 and plenty of RAM that I know exactly what they do together in NF4 and ATI RS480 Crossfire boards we make)
MC FLMJIG said:Hmmm
So what would the conclusion be of Top rated OCing boards for 939?
Biostar #1?
Foxconn #2?
#3?
There are also other boards without many reviews like the Epox and the ASRock... any idea what the OC capabilities are on those on average?
Golias said:Well, the new Epox is overhyped, a user from another forum bought one and it didn't go past 223, just like in the spanish review.
He tried diferent CPU's and MEM's and it was a NO GO above 223.
