my raid errors occur when I start overclocking in raid if it fails to boot sometimes i get missing/corrupt file, I‘ve installing windows again, again and again so I give it with it for now till I find some stability settings with my single hard drive, and then I will try and running raid again.Quote:

hi,
I'm all new to this forum, and this is my first post lol. I have been reading those forum posts since post 1, as I am interested to buy the in9 32x max. This will be my first abit build so thats why Im sayin :D. Do you consult me to do so? I've read posts that people have different problems with this mobo, all regarding either indirectly or directly with the bios.
My set up will include:
in9 32x max (obviously)
bfg 8800 gtx
corsair 2gb matched kit
850w cooler master power supply
hdd havent decided yet
cm stacker 830 evo
do u think that this is a good setup? do u hv recommendations for a cheaper case but with the same good build? wat about d ram?
thanks very much :D
thanks i will give that ago.Quote:

Vendetta what is your program to customize like this the OS ?
AlienGUIse theme manager @ Alienware, free download comes with four alien themed desktops. Totally COOL:DQuote:

Put media player in skin mode and be amazed.
ANd your bar at the bottom where do it come from ?
It all comes with the AlienGUIse suite, just download it and run the xenomorph desktop, it loads the bar at the bottom as part of the theme.:DQuote:

Lot of ppl usind 8500C5, and it seems to be unstable with these sticks, so what can we do ? just wait ? .... :/
A question that's going to sound extremely stupid, but...
Are all the SATA channels "peers"?
With this I mean, is there any performance impact if you use the channel 5/6 instead of the 1/2?
I ask this because I'm starting to look elsewhere for the root of my problems, and the channel 1/2 share IRQ with the USB controller of my keyb/mouse.
Providing I have no control whatsoever over IRQ assignment, and that there could be a link between heavy HDD usage with the BSOD that plagues me (if I use diskeeper configured with automatic defragmentation and IIFAST, when it starts "grinding", there's a higher chance of BSOD), I'd like to try moving the HDDs to the controller that shares IRQ with the unused USB.
Obviously, if this eases the problem at the expense of a performance impact, is no good.

I guess it's offiicially here now. ;)
I ordered one!
Wow what a board, having no problems at all with this, very impressed:DQuote:

Great nice to hear its going great for you. Tomorrow or Friday I will receive mine and will start building.
Good to hear people are enjoying the board without any problems at all :up: I'm currently talking to Abit about a few things you guys have raised, we're trying to get it all ironed out so that future BIOS releases are exactly what you want. As for board cooling this one is still up in the air as far as I'm concerned. I personally believe that this whole heatpipe business has got to stop. It seems to me that what has happened is that one manufacturer has used them and get some good press so now everybody wants in on the action. I for one think this kinda a market lead thinking is bad. Consider the following....we all accepted that the DFI boards for NF4 were good overclocking boards, they used active fan cooling onboard because it was needed. I think we need to return to the times that mainstream and enthusiast boards are quite different, I can understand the mainstream user wanting a quiet PC, that's fine. But to the overclocker, this is far less of a concern. I feel the waters have been muddied due to the gamers who want a high performance PC but also want it quiet. Problem is they're a bigger market so if your gonna make your money you go after the biggest buyers. I guess at the end of the day we are overclockers and not adversed to doing a little modding of our own ;)
Just my thoughts on the matter, would love to hear what you all think too :)

Agreed completely, excellent post! Besides the heatpipes getting out of hand just for "bling" they interfere with many of the larger heatsinks and waterblocks. Not to mention the problems they cause for phase changers. The other thing that really bugs me are all those caps, solid or not, so close to the cpu. I'd much rather see the money spent on 'pipes spent on digital PWMs like this board and the DFI ICX3200. In any case, any board I buy these days is going to have 'pipes pulled off and a waterblock placed on the NB, the PWM, and even the SB if I can manage the last. And I really don't care what others' opinions are about watercooling the 'bridges. I'm going to do it.Quote:

Realy strange with the P5B i haven't got any issues with the same components as when i put them on the IN9 ......
I hope Abit fixes this with a future bios update because its not a hardware malfunction i'm experiencing.
I can get it to boot to windows i only have to change the memory from the blue to the black slots and when it wouldn't boot windows again exchange again :slap: .
I know how to solve the problem but its extremely annoying changing ram slots all day .... :fact:
I have issues, not stable at factory or advised settings, it is a shame, i'm gonna sale the mobo... roll back to eVGA, at least it work, ugly but simply work.
Well, 24 hrs running stable with factory settings.
Although that might not look like an achievement worth mentioning, is more than what I've managed in the last two weeks.
The hardware setup and BIOS settings are exactly the same, I've returned the HDDs to headers 1&2, the only added component is the Dominator fan.
All this time I've been using the stock Intel cooler, because I didn't want to assemble my loop until the configuration was stable @ stock speeds.
Could this have been the root of the problem? Could the memory have been "unhappy" with the stock cooler blowing hot air straight to it?
I guess anything is possible. I know you, Smkokey and just a very few small number of others are having issues, so hopefully it can be something so simple and easily missed. My board gets here today and believe me, I've been reading every post written on every forum about this board! I think I have about a 95% chance of success, based on the number of good reports to number of bad reports ratio (math is fun).
I', really glad to hear you got it running stable, MrToad!
I'm hoping the same. But I won't scream "MrToad vincix" yet...Quote:

when you try, are you still using the 9 multiplier? If so lower to 8 or 7 and see if you can get past 425 then. It's possible you are reachin gthe limits of your cpu @ your current settings and voltages. FSB limits can be CPU or chipset related. Both can be overcome by increase in voltages in some cases.Quote:

But I am not giving up, and I will try some more right away...
