  • Anyone know of any RAM that works with this mobo at 1333 MHz? I'm buying new RAM because Corsair XMS3 RAM doesn't work over 1066 MHz with this board.

  • mine only run @ x8, what do i do!?

  • Sweet MotherBird...

  • @SAmpMark05 there no bird in mine

  • Comment removed

  • HOT CAKES!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • this board is nice but can i have a 775 pentium 4 3.6ghz ? i was wondering because i was going to get this other motherboard but this one is good for gaming as you said.

  • @yungballer92

    IT only supports Core 2 processor family.

    e.g. Core 2 Quad q8400

  • HeY buddy Nice vedio, Subscribed, Hey could you please suggest me for a good MOBO FROM INTEL WITH E7500CPU FOR GOOD GAMING PERFORMENCE.THANKS.

  • how would this one work with 2 5890's?

  • @DeadlyAngel91792 5890 or 4890 or 5870 :-?

  • U are Cute ahahaaa~ When the missing Sata Part :D.

    U are Damn pro, in Give information on The Board... Nice !!!

  • Can I use the 'GTX 260' graphics card on this board, also with a 'Intel 2 quad processor'?!.

  • @noobsyb0t lol of course

  • I'm building a gaming PC for the first time, is this a good board to go with?!?!

  • im getting this and if your getting a sound card with this your an idiot!!! but i think this is great cos' it affordabule. nice one intel

  • I got this motherboard along with 4GB DDR3 RAM and Q8400 Processor and 512 MB Nvidea Graphics CARD , I installed 64 bit XP . I am not getting the desired results out of it . It's quite slow . Can some one suggest something ???

  • hey what do you mean by not desired results?

    i have 4gb ddr2

    q8200 oc-ed from 2.33 to 3.5

    HD 4890

    er....try overclocking the prcessor

    and download the latest nvidia driver

  • My pc has great components (c2q 9450, xfx xxx gtx 280, 650w corsair psu, 8gb kingston ddr2 800mhz ram) but the mobo (intel dp43tf) SUCKS, (it was all free so..) i need to buy an new one, this one looks good

  • I buy this mother board and still waiting that came to my house XD

  • I hooked two HD4850s to this with a QX9650 with 4gb RAM. INCREDIBLE PERFORMACE, I never expected how snapping this board and chip set would be!

  • haha hey would two 4850 beat a single 4890?

    and if yes would it be large margin?

  • Yes, it would be faster1 :)

    But honestly, not all games support SLi/Crossfire, so you'd DEFINITELY will be better of with a 4890 by itself.

  • yes it would beat it by a huge margin .. huge i tell ya .. 1 x 4890 = 60 % of the performence your going to get out of 2 4850 s ... also you might just want to get 2 5770 s now ....

  • oh but current the HD 4890 would still be the best choice for someone who only has 1 pci slot....lol notice the 4890 is getting rarer? hopefully ati would comeout a card to fill the void between the 5770 and 5850...but the hd 4890 is still a killer in crossfire....massive headroom!=) what setup are you using?

  • i am currently using a 750i mobo with an 8800gtx .. planning to get this mobo and 2 5770 s .. they are dx11 and only require 600 watts for crossfire .. i only have a 700 watt psu .. so thats that .. srry to say that i havent switched that pc on in so many days that i have actually forgotten what processor i have on it . i'll get back to you on that one soon ...

  • Comment removed

  • How this motherboard work ? Is it stable ?

    Should I buy this motherboard for my new computer or not ?

  • you should get and i7 motherboard

    the good part of this motherboard is that you can buy this one and get ddr3 ram and a good graphic card, and then you can recicle this parts in a i7 set up in the future

  • if you can just get a Asus P6T Motherboard.

    though the parts like ddr3 memory is a little over priced and i7 cpu

  • Do not buy it after a year mine startet to just freez when i play games.

  • Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 (2.83GHz)

    Intel Extreme DP45SG motherboard

    DDR3-1333 12GB RAM

    HD4850 512MB

    500w PSU

  • amd vs intel

    invidia vs ati

    the war is on..lol

  • pc vs mac ....vs boxx :S

  • Q9550

  • nvidia its way better than ati

  • agreed, nvidia is great.

  • nvidia or ati?

  • I am having this board for 2 months. everything is fine. Only thing i have is those two beeps at the beginning. I found in forums that everybody got them. But should be only one. Apart from that no probs at all.

    Guys what is your experience

  • Havent seen any review on it,well will go with xfx 750i

  • Run away from the XFX! now!. XFX make awesome Graphics cards, Both ATI and NVidia. But unfortunately there motherboards, although they look cool, are terrible. They Are well known for using very ceep components and dress them with good looking heatsinks. And then when you inevitably have issues you will have to use there terrible customer support who will just throw you around the departments over and over. If you are set on buying a 750i board id advise looking at the Asus P5N-D ;)

  • dude alot of people have used that mobo and are satisfied for its performance and it has never let them down.Yeah xfx x58i is a low quality mobo but alot of people in my country use 750i and it has not cost them any problem so far.

  • but I want a reliable motherboard,not something which I would need to RMA again and again,no need to worry about customer support of xfx,galaxy computers will do that for me.

    But if this is better and more reliable I will get this even if this doesnt have that many extra features xfx 750i has.

    I would need to discuss this on forums.

  • srsly.

    Hussain, I've looked at many forums, all people have been having DOZENS of problems.

    Imma go with this card now.

  • dude I also checked that out,but the revision versions have no problem.

    If xfx 750i doesnt turn out good and has problem more than twice I will return to galaxy and get dp45sg!

  • you suck

    booooooooooooo

  • is this compatible with nvidia cards?

  • it is, however you cannot use SLI

  • why would i need to with a gtx 295

    :D

  • does it come with pac man?

  • hahahahaha, yes spend 149.99 for pacman...

  • whats eSATA?

  • a fast external sata port.

  • Does this support nvidia sli? I have exact motherboard like in this video and it doesn't seem to be working.

  • lol

    ''your full of it''

    and

    ''i'll find you and kick you in the face'' i wanna see that

  • What I love about this mobo is that the box looks like its a core 2 extrme

  • all i really like about intel is, there cpus, motherboards r kind of in between, and the sound quality on the board, lol, id rather pay $20 more for a board by like asus, or gigabyte or some thing, but i am an intel fan boy, lol, well atleast on there cpus and sound quality

  • Make sure your ram is 1.5v or the system wont post. Once it posts, you can change to a higher voltage in BIOS.

  • IM GONNA KICK YA IN THE FACE. LOLS!!

  • hey gys please help me. I am building a new rig and can either buy the Asus P5QL-CM and Corsair XMS2 4Gb RAm OR I can buy this mobo and Corsair XMS3 2GB 1333Mhz RAm and later on upgrade to 4Gb . WHAT SHOULD I DO ASUS MOBO AND DDR2 OR DP45SG and DDR3????????

  • the skull is freaking cool dude!!!

  • I'm gonna buy this motherboard, but I'm not sure where to buy the computer case cause I'm pretty sure that my current one wont fit it... if anyone could post the site where i can buy the case, that would be great,

  • any atx case can fit it.

  • ok, thanks im gonna get a ATX-midtower case.

  • I Got This. Its Mint For Gaming Or Graphics. I Got The:

    Intel DP45SG

    Quad Core Q6600 2.4 Running At 3.05GHZ

    2GB DDR3

    ATI HD3850

    And It Runs Mintly. Its Excellent For Gaming And You Can Do Ultra High Quality On Most Games If Not All. FarCry2, Crysis, COD4 all at Ultra High Quality

  • is it true that the sata port are not well placed? i mean that if u have a huge graphics card u will get fucked up real badly?? please answer me cuz i want this mobo

    thnx.

  • No, It Fits Fine. I have the ATI HD 3850 Which Is A Big Card But It Went In Great. But To Make LIfe Easier Plug The Sata Ports In Before You Put In Ypur Graphics Card

  • cool thnx dude !

  • Anytime

  • Nah man, it's not a big issue, i have a 2900xt which is pretty much the biggest card in the universe, lol. Just prioritize, what i mean is see the finished product before u start buildin, that way you plug in your sata ports before u slide in ur graphics card.

  • great !!! now i have to get 4 gigs of 1.5v ddr3,  they say that the prices r down

  • I bought this board along with a ati sapphire 4870 512mb and I had to use the top slot because the card covered the fckn 4 sata ports dont waste your money imo if those 4 sata's are important in your build.

  • thnx dude u RocK!!!

    i really need the sata ports, too bad

  • Nvm!!! You can get around it by buying 90 degree sata cords. I didnt know this but they do sell them apparently. sorry for the bad info.

  • i got this board , i overclock at the bios and it dont change Mhz, and i did the bios update and the desktop overclocking software dont work :(

    either that or the fact that i am running a core 2 duo

  • Funny how they don't mention all the memory issues this board has.

    Anyone with this board runnin ocz memory?

  • Its actually an easy fix, but a pain in the ass. The board requires 1.5v memory. So when you buy memory for this board make sure you buy 1.5v memory. Most OCZ memory is 1.7v. I ran into this problem when I first purchased the board.

  • Yeah, i know. I had to go to TIgerdirect and buy 2gb Corsair ddr3 1.5v so i could then update the motherboard's bios to the newest which came out a month ago and supports oCZ memory, i'm now running 4gb of OCZ special ops ddr3 1333mhz, and at 9.9.9.27 1333 no problems with the computer on for about 9 hours straight. I was suspicious of all the bad reviews i had read, but it's done me good.

  • Yeah I feel your pain. Your story is very similar to mine.

  • Who da fuck is logan? Oh, u guys mean that dude from xmen right?

  • nope logan is the guy who used to do reviews for tigerdirect before albert.

  • does it support SLI

  • Nope only ATi Crossfire

  • Does this Board work with Nvidia SLI or is it just ATI crossfire??????????

  • ATI Crossfire. However, you can use any nvidia cards but single mode not sli mode...

  • This board works with Nvidia SLI?

  • Yes

  • no its a crossfire motherboard

  • were you stupid to say yes,its a crossfire mobo,it doesnt have the nforce chip.

    Why is everyone of you asking the same stupid question?? Before watching this video please learn something about pcs.

  • This board is not true dual x16 in crossfire.

    it runs x8 and x8 respectively. i bought this board because i thought it did but it doesnt but the only card that this will be an issue with this is the 4870x2 so no worries.

  • no card will be an issue because its pci express 2.0 so even if it doesnt crossfire at x8 it gets doubled to x16.

  • hey, can you run 2 gpu's both in x16 or is it in x8 when you use 2

  • I Bought:

    Intel DP45SG

    Intel Quad Q6600 PRO

    ATI Powercolour 3850

    2GB DDR3

    900Watt Kingston

    It Fires Up but nothing appears on the screen and it doesn't even make the start up beep. Can anyone help me out plz

  • Let me guess you have OCZ memory?

  • does this motherboard support sata 2 hard drives?

  • yes more than that

  • i mean if it supports sataII

  • lol why would it come with a flopy disk?

  • it's a driver disk for raid controller.

  • Hey i dont want to sound stupid or anything but will this board support the Geforce 9800?

  • Yes

  • ummm it says 7.1 audio thingy. Does that mean i can't connect a 5.1 speaker system to it? or do i need to buy another sound card?

  • No you can

  • Does This Board Support PCI Express 2.0?

  • Yes

  • yes

  • He says 2 vga's will both run at x16, but Intel's documentation/pdf's say the 2nd one will run at x8...so which is it?

  • does this board fits in the thermaltake armor+ mx case??

  • have you even looked before saying that?

    You can find 2x1Gb DDR3 1333 for $69.99 (Patriot) and Corsairs are around $89.99. DDR3 is the same price but faster, ppl need to wake up.

  • this looks really good for its great price!

  • lol, it's not even out yet.

  • lol very cool south bridge!!

  • i got a 780 i is that good for gaming i want to get good computer for like 840 bucks with good parts can it be done =).

  • intell has the best CPU's on the market, AMD is strong in the low end segment,

    i had some AMD's in earlier rigs but atm i use a intell cpu cause it's the best in its price

  • lol where's the last one?

  • I think I'd still rather use DDR2 right now, you can overclock and get the same throughput as DDR3, but with better latencies.

  • well AMD isn't selling many CPU's so many motherboard manufacturers will lose money if they make boards for them, but ATI is keeping AMD alive, and Intell won't like if AMD will go down

  • if amd went bankrupt, the pc industry would be in a terrible situation. that would mean intel would get a monopoly and as a result prices will go up and progress will slow.

  • intell wont alow AMD to go down simply because there are anti-monopoly laws which will aply if amd will die

  • dammit...

    well nobodys perfect... amd has also got something that intel hasnt.. and intel has something that amd doesnt..

  • Albert please... tell me.......

    why does motherboard makers refuse to work with amd and make future motherboard please

  • umm there was a floppy what the hell is it for?

  • whats the problem of that

  • nothing just who still has a floppy bay and on that motherbored i would think you wouldnt need it

  • The northbridge on all P45 mobos has only 16 lanes, so two there is no chance of running two cards at full 16x speed.

  • At 3:45 why is there a "FLOPPY DISK"? is that part of the motherbird i mean motherboard too? is that a driver for the board??

  • Why does he try and go Logan threats?

    "im gunna find ya and kick ya in the face"

    WTF

  • MOTHERBIRD!

  • MOTHER BIGBIRD

  • this is irrelevant but is a hdmi port on the motherboard or does it depend on your graphics card.

    thankyou

  • graphics card has a hdmi not motherboard

  • If you're using onboard graphics (ie not a discreet gpu) then it would need to be on the mobo. If you are using a discreet gpu, like ati 4870 or nvidia gtx 280 and the likes, then it would need to be on the video card. You can however get a dvi to hdmi adapter if you only have hdmi's. Hope that helps :)

  • it isn't future proof... it won't fit I7 cpu which is the future

  • 2 x16's? dats sweet!!!!

    the cooler sucks tho....

  • How in the blue hell is this future proof, new socket coming out soon.

  • ddr3

  • I read in another review online that the INTEL skull badge that fits on the southbridge heatsink does more harm then good since it interferes with the heatsinks cooling capabilities. Nix attatching it if you plan to use this mommyboard for gaming. Silly statement since most peeps that will buy this will not plan on using it for emailing and net browsing only.

  • What does this fit into, i mean like waht case can you use.

  • WOW it only has a 4-pin not 8-pin CPU?

  • OMFG 4GB Corsair Twinx sticks just for 59.99 im getting crazy sweet!!

    DDR2 its insanely dropping prices!!

  • I'm gonna go find you and kick in the face.

  • the only Cons on this mobo is that it has DDR3 instead of DDR2

  • Shouldn't you be able to run DDR2 on it anyway?

  • nope, just some mobos are able to do that, and are kinda expensive, this is one is fucking amazing for $150 but , all the money u saved on this , its gonna be lost again when buying DDR3 RAM

  • ...jeez Im thinking of getting this to replace my Asus P5Q, which I just bought this month...

  • are u nutz or just shits money?

  • lol "WHERE IS THE LAST SATA?"

  • neweggs got it for 150$

  • Wolfdale is like a smaller version of the 55nm versions :)

  • the other SATA is above the first PCI X16 ??

  • lol lost the sata port XD

  • hes turning to logan slowley

    YAY!!!!

    btw x48 is like 5 10 percent better then p45 but p45 will u better price n alot better overclock which is loveley :D

  • asus>intel

  • whit out intel asus would = poop out of ur ass

  • purdy

  • what's a wolfdale? a duo core? quad core?

  • actually, logan quit...because he didn't want to live in florida..he wanted to go somewhere with mountains.

  • No Logan just left

  • where is the last one???, sell like hotcakes??? god this guy is funny, lol

  • lol no website reviewed this

    the only good thing with the mobo that it has x16/x16

    overclocking with that is horrible

  • Comment removed

  • wow where did u go??

  • crap

  • Awesome price of only $160. Wish I knew about this before I built my system a few weeks ago, but my P5Q PRO does a great job.

  • mother bird rofl. freebird.

  • Nice :D

  • whooo, whats with the video quality?

  • lol lynyrd skynyrd.

  • 1 view? O.o

    Nice must have board! =3

  • iooooooooh cool

  • 3 again lol

  • nice!!
