Though I'm stuck on the 11x Multiplier and 380+MHz FSB choke on the DFI 975X Infinity, I decided to do some Cross-Fireage overclocking for the hell of it. Setup Consists of Intel Core 2 Duo X6800, DFI 975X Infinity, ATi Powercolor X1900 Cross-Fire running mildly chilled water and 2 x 512MBCorsair 5400UL @ CL4-3-2-1 480MHz! It scores some impressive 3D Mark performance numbers with "only" 4.2GHz Conroe!!Check out the details and results here!

also now i know why i had cold bug issues w crossfire w cascade coolin
atitool doesnt sync clocks for both cards i have to pull them up one card by one card so second card was actually at stock speed so too cold w cascade
ill prolly strap them back on cascades once i have better manipulation of the cpu, ie higher multis.

Woah sham, how are the chilled card temps ? Heat is still a monster in these setups.

hi sham
yes i have the dfi 975 board same thing as you with divider mine will boot at 390fsb at 667 divider, won't boot at 533 but at 400 divider will boot at 399fsb, hopefully dfi will update the bios so a higher fsb can be achieved they need to add a 1333 strap for 400+, quick board though, is 2.65 volt safe on pc 8500 corsair ram with a fan over also

It's DFI's first 975X board I believe, still it's nice to see the ULs back in action.
