Jw-790gx-extreme

[LIKMARK]

Bought this mobo (http://www.jwele.com/motherboard_detail.php?147#_spec) from fleebay today. It will rest in the wrappings until I can put a Deneb into the socket.

Anyone got the board and want to share their experience with it, feel free to post in this thread.

*goes into hibernation until Deneb arrives*

Is this the same board? http://www.forumdeluxx.de/forum/showthread.php?t=541944

There are some informations about the mainboard! Sounds nice!

Hi SeLecT.

It looks like the little brother to me, with fewer voltage regulators, and one less PCI-E slot. But thanks for the link, I'll check it out with a translator :)

Looks like a nice board, pity J&W is not available in Norway/Sweden! Maybe the Extreme replaced th Ultra?

Jetway is not J&R,it are two different companies. If I'd not already own two 790GX boards i'd buy this one, very good looking.
Docs say 5+1 phases? I count 6 converters on the AsRock also and it is 4+1 phase the sixth one is for IGP and/or sideport. In the Gigabyte there are two converters close to the IGP and it runs on higher speed. (667MHz vs 533MHz).
I found it more easier to count the phase controllers

Can be easily done on the AsRock without extra cooling. The controllers are the small square chips between the mosfet's. I count four + one on the upper left.
On the Asus 790FX/SB750 I also counted 4+1 of those chips so it's also 4+1 phase with two converters for each phase. BTW: I think there is a more suitable english word for those quadratic chips I call converters.
Anyway 4+1 is good to go with 2x12V. :p

It is probably as Justapost says, 4+1 and one for the IGP, but I'll check it out when I get it. I might get a cheap X2 45w too if I find the spare cash :D

[SeLecT]

Ohh, it is my fault... i've read jetway :D

So it is another mainboard of course!

[justapost]

I did the same mistake few weeks back. A pic of that J&W board was posted for comparison and I thought it was a jetway board. Jet & Way lol

[Cloud9ja]

nice tho i also have a gigabyte 790gx and i may or may not upgrade to deneb in jan or feb....

either way til then stable 3ghz is me

[ablech]

just want share my experience using this board:D,, imho this board have a good durability even under xtreme cooling condition,, just too bad they didnt have good bios for unlocked amd procesor :)

[LIKMARK]

Still using my board, no problems with it whatsoever.

There is BIOS support for unlocking cpus.

You can find it on J&W forums.
