might sound silly but have you plugged all the power cons
to the mb and graphics card(s)?
have you double checked your disk-cd-floppy cables?
have u tried all sorts of resets?

Okay, last night I played around and got 3.6ghz stable, then I said, what the hay we'll go for 3.75. So, I got it booted to windows, but never could get more than a few minutes orthos stable. So, I just gave up, reset everything to the old standby 3.375 ghz and rebooted. I left this running and played a game before hitting the hay. Well, this morning I come in and do some stuff and reboot. Gets to the Windows with the moving bar, and restarts. After playing around, I cannot get it to boot to windows now at 3.375. I can have my memory adjusted way down and it still won't even at higher voltages than what I had been running. Anyone got any clue as to why it would all the sudden refuse to boot to settings that are as stable as what I was seeing (24 hours orthos)?

Strange, Ive been having similar problems. Been trying to squeeze 4ghz out of my X6800. Got it pi32m stable and then ran out of time. Left it, came back later and booted up the PC to carry on - do some orthos testing, 3dmark etc just to finalise it... no go... couldnt even get it 8m stable! Hadnt changed a thing, just wouldnt play ball.
In the end i cleared cmos and set everything back to stock and then went and put it all back to where it was, and bam... it worked again. Weird.

speedfreak86

Sounds similar, only, even after resetting the cmos and going back, it is a no go. I am on here right now at 2.4ghz cause I can't get anything else to be reliable. I am getting random hangs if I do get into windows but mostly a failure to boot. And, Uguru isn't working. Really strange stuff. Maybe a corrupted operating system?

EDIT: I repaired the windows install and uninstalled and reinstalled Uguru and Presto chango...everything is on the level once again.

I guess my E6600 @3.7GHZ stable since I bought the board (about a month ago) is not that bad after all I read.

But I am sure I could go higher with a better CPU since this is the limit for it no matter what. It did 3.6GHZ with 1.45v on air (nothing more on air) but needs 1.625 to do 3.7ghz on water and anything above (3.75Ghz did not test in between) is not stable in orthos no matter what. So that is it for me till the next upgrade to a Quad core and probably a new motherboard as well if it does not overclock well with the quad. But this will be in about a year or min 8 months depending on quad prices and games that could use it.

R.I.P IN9 u P.O.S you have been nothing but dissapointments!!!!!!

well my computer won't even get in to bios and lately my bios has been reprograming its settings and it is not the battery so...

any one wanna sell me there NB SB PWMIC stock heat sink i just need it for RMA

Anyone else have this problem?

My HyperTransport voltage always seems to jump to 1.4V regardless of what I configure it. When I get into my OS and start uGuru it will be at 1.4V. I'll reset it to 1.2 in uGuru reboot and check in bios and it will say 1.2V..get into OS and wala....1.4V

I couldn't figure out why my temps were so hot, and I guess this was part of the problem.

I have discovered that my Ultra-120 doesn't seem to cool as good when my case is standing as normal (mobo vertical) compared to me lying it on its side (mobo horizontal).

Otherwise I've seemed to top out at about 3.4Ghz and my mem at 1Ghz (4-4-4-12 2T). I need to do something with my PWM's to run at that temp though as they get hot.

Got linkboost enabled? It's been several weeks since I've messed with the IN9 (taking an Evga for a spin) but I do remember no matter what if kinkboost was enable HTv and one other voltage would revert back no matter what until linkboost was disabled. Can't remember which bios it was either :p:

I have left my HT voltage at 1.4V for all of my testing. I still have lower temps than you are seeing.

Yes, T1 (same thing, less goodies). It's pretty polished compared to the AR I bought the first week of release (and returned due to the many many many dead spots :) ). They've come a long way in that regard, boots pretty much everywhere in between 1066 and 1800. I like the board alot more at this point compared to the Abit FP IN9 and the IN9 32X-MAX.

Thanks! i think the time is right to check it out! i also had a brief encounter or should i say nightmare (i had the famous erratic raid data corruption) with an early board, and was disappointed to the point that i became allergic to the evga brand name.

I think anything with an Nvidia chipset right now is a bit of a hit or miss. There are plenty of guys popping into the Evga forums with problems but I also think this is probably due in part to the Evga being in many more peoples hands than any of the others. As soon as I read about them offering replacement boards I started watching for A1/T1's to hit the shelves. Not disappointed at all so far. First board I've been able to actually "try" and run memory at DDR1200 :) Just waiting for a 6800 to arrive before I put it back together again. Pulled it to add a swiftech MCX159 NB cooler and used an old DFI LP NB cooler on the SB till I can find a VC-RE in stock somewhere...

Only thing that I am disappointed about on this board is the fact that it is 70 dollars cheaper now than what I payed 1 month ago. Other than that, I am fairly satisfied. I am now running 3.46 ghz and 1025Mhz ram w/ the same 4-4-4-12 2T timings. Orthos stable so far for 25 minutes. I'll post more info if the setup passes a few more hours.

ON EDIT: Got orthos stable for 2 hours and 40 minutes with 1.485 volts vcore and 2.15 vdimm. I need to do some more testing with increasing other voltages, but this is probably stable enough for me.

I just got my setup assembled and could really need som help with basic bios settings for a stable overclock.

I cant get anything stable at the moment, not even "optimized defaults" ( causes crash in 3dMark06)

I have read a lot about this board, but have never found a Overclocking guide about what to enable and what needs to be disabled.

Any help would be very appriciated.

What are you cooling your cpu with? I am licquidcooling and @ 1.42 i hit just arround 60 degrees.

Since mine is a quad temps will be higher, but I don't dare much higher for a 24/7 setup

Is ekstream high vcore the only way to get memory up to stock speed or will a bios update help?

I would suggest using coretemp or lavalys's everest to monitor your qx core temps. anything under 85 c under full load is fairly ok.
this will actually determine the voltage your qx can handle safely with your water rig.
probably around 1.5v real at idle at your case, or maybe less, as you've got everything on a single loop.
the pity is that you wont be needing any of this voltage increase if you cant properly multi all four cores.
the qx can easily do 3.3g with a 10x multi at stock-or close to stock volts,and will hit a wall there.
over 333 fsb is something the qx really doesn't like (although 360+fsb's have been achieved with volt modded boards), so thats when you need the upwards multis, and that's when you will need the extra core voltage.

Thanks for the tips, I tryed everest and its easy to see which of the two cores that are'nt clocked, 15-18 degrees lower on core 3/4.

I think my max vcore can be 1.43 ( in bios setting ), after that it gets to scary and to close to 85 degrees.

This is also the highest DDR FSB i can get at this vcore, even though its DDR1150 modules.

All sugestions to optimizing the memory or other parts, are very welkome.

Thanks

there is also an everest patch specifically made for the in932xmax. it will show you almost everything, including pwm temps and so on.

i would start by runing default 266 fsb = 1066 qdr on the cpu, run the memory unlinked, volt it up at around 2.2v and gradually bring the ddr frequency up to find where it maxes out (will need some voltage adjustments).
with memory timings left on auto.

this will give a rough estimate of your memory max ddr freq. lets say yours is 1200 .
then i would run the memory linked 1:1 putting 1200 as cpu qdr, which is 1200/4= 300fsb. then i would play with the multi to bring up the cpu frequency. 12x300 would give u a healthy 3.6ghz, on a 1:1 linked memory.
your cpu vcore as is would probably handle all this.

at that point check your pi times and 3d benches, check system stability and start from there as a reference.

then i would try to fine tweek cpu fsb and memory timings without loosing stability.

the point is to get better benches=faster system and not necessarily higher fsb's , higher voltages, higher temps.

hope this helps.

Your Welcome m8

Now lets get some comments from you guys regarding this bios !

My first thoughts are the better booting of the board i almost always get A0 when i reboot with same settings .....
But with this new beta i haven't seen this while i rebooted severall times already so thats good !

Please, give me your impressions on this new bios...
I have tested and the max FSB is 475MHz, 482MHz with the old.
The vcore is 1.5v, not other modifications of the tensions.

Hi Day 187

How does this work, do I have to copy/paste together with the original bios or so? If so, should it not be a .bin file then?

Hi

Just to be sure, don't wanna make a mistake when flashing...

Could someone confirm this method...

1. Rename M622A_12.B01 to M622A_12.BIN
2. Copy/Paste into unzipped folder M622A_11 ( old bios ) and replacing M622A_11.BIN with new M622A_12.BIN
3. Dr dos A Floppy, Runme @ A-Promt

Correct?

Hi

I have a problem reaching the rated speeds of my memory, I have tryed a lot of different settings and nothing comes close to rated speeds of DDR1150 or PC9200

The cpu is stable @ ( 1170/4x12= 3510 ) vcore 1.44, vdimm 2.425, SLi disabled, unlinked DDR910

I am using the blue slots #1 & #2

Have been testing with these timings in this order:

CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS-CMD TRRD-TRC-TWR-TWTR-TREF-TRFC

Auto timings: 5-8-8-26-2T 5-32-6-11-7.8us-61

OCZ default: 5-5-5-18-2T 6-31*-6-11-3,9-Auto

EVA2000: 5-5-5-18-2T 5-22-6-8-Auto-42

No matter what timings/vdimm I use the system crashes if it's pushed any higher in FSB, I have tryed unlinked and linked and even SLi but nothing gets them upthere.

There still seems to be headroom since I mamaged to lower the timings to 4-4-4-12-2T 6-30-6-11-Auto-Auto @ DDR910, but can't push FSB higher.

All Tips & Tricks are very welkome

try slackening everything lets say,

6-8-8-30-2T 6-36-6-12-7.8us-72 @ 2.25v
and try raising nb core at~1.65v, play also with ht and mhc
also fidle with ddr ref.(should be near half your ddr voltage)
then try raising the (ddr)freq in 15mhz increments not stopping at the first no boot. go on, since there are huge holes in memory maps. maybe this way you get lucky!

btw, what figures do you get in the memory benchmarks of everest @ 910 cas4 ?

I am using the blue slots #1 & #2

Have been testing with these timings in this order:

CAS-TRCD-TRP-TRAS-CMD TRRD-TRC-TWR-TWTR-TREF-TRFC

Auto timings: 5-8-8-26-2T 5-32-6-11-7.8us-61

OCZ default: 5-5-5-18-2T 6-31*-6-11-3,9-Auto

EVA2000: 5-5-5-18-2T 5-22-6-8-Auto-42

No matter what timings/vdimm I use the system crashes if it's pushed any higher in FSB, I have tryed unlinked and linked and even SLi but nothing gets them upthere.

There still seems to be headroom since I mamaged to lower the timings to 4-4-4-12-2T 6-30-6-11-Auto-Auto @ DDR910, but can't push FSB higher.

All Tips & Tricks are very welkome

I have almost the same problem. My memory are memtest stable both in Win and DOS at 3-3-3-3 1T 840mhz 2,3V ( haven´t tried lower volt) but I can´t get past 835mhz. I have tried 4-4-4-12 / 5-5-5-12 at 2,4V to, but it won´t boot at 1T. I have raised the voltage for NB/HTT and so on, and I have tried to boot with a lower FSB without any help.

Any suggestions?

Setting a usb keyboard/mouse to "bios" now allows you to boot into Windows with this new beta. I can confirm that this is, in fact, true.

About time!

I did som test now. Memory at 854 is absolutly the max. Doesn´t matter if i use 2,3-2,4-2,5v, it will not boot, or it will reboot. The strange thing is that they are memtest stable at 840 so it can´t be the memory. I´m thinking its the NB who wants more power than 1,6v?

Well guys, my board finally stopped about a week ago (had to reflash bios before restarting in order to boot into windows reliably with even stock settings, then froze during a reflash) and so I did a cross-ship with Abit and they sent me a board that gives me the 8.7. So, looks like that refurb is going back too. Still waiting on the third board to ship to me. I hope I finally get one that works. They have been fairly helpful, but their tech support really really needs some work. I have stayed on hold for 30+ minutes without anyone picking up after hearing the 10-20 minute wait speech and the same idiotic song over and over. The RMA department often has no one to pick up the phone. When I do get someone on the line, they are very helpful, but I am dissappointed that they sent me a board that didn't post. I have been down for more than a week now. Anyway, just wanted to let you guys know that if you start getting instability at settings that previously worked you may be looking at getting a new board too.

Raid 0 on Vista 64-Bit

Hi

I have installed Raid on Vista 64-Bit

I created a stripe in bios and booted to windows CD, very easy and didn't ask for any drivers during instal.

I had higher expectations to HDD benchmark programs, but take a look at the last pickture, what driver am I missing...?

I am also waiting on my third review sample after the first one never booted due to multiple post code errors...and the second booted successfully a few times then gave up the ghost with a steady 8.3 error. Charles (FUGGER) has this board running stable all day long....his QX6700 is hitting 4.2ghz with Chilly1 phase cooling. I'm going to pm him for voltage settings and ram timings when I get the new board...due in this friday.

Btw, I am still waiting on the third board to arrive.

I am currently testing stability @ 3.7Ghz (E6600) with 462FSB and 1.6250Vcore (yes I know it is high but have a dedicated loop on it).

Played Supreme commander @ 2560x1600 2 hours no problem same for C&C 3.

I will fire up Orthos too although i have a feeling that Small ffts may fail, we'll see.

Do you think that my E6600 could die really soon @ 1.6250 Vcore temps never exceed 55-60C and it idles at 39-40c and the room is also airconditioned for the summer.

Short answer, Yes. All Intel data says

Quote:

This Proccessor has a max Vcc of 1.5 volts; ... and 1.525 with 1.525 being the max voltage

Although heat is another way to damage or degrade a cpu, having it cool and running beyond spec voltages will still degrade the cpu over time. My 6600 L631B does 3.7ghz with 1.43v but thats droop. I have 1.5125v set in bios. I sure my chip can do more but until I can test it in a board that I can set 1.5v in bios & it only droop to 1.47 or so I won't be finding out. 1.55v in bios is the absolute most volts I will run orthos on any cpu because vdroop will keep it below the 1.525v.
04-08-2007, 02:27 PM
The Nemesis

Finally getting the hang of running orthos stability tests on this board. The vdroop of this board is terrible. With 1.5125vcore set in bios, it reads from 1.42v-1.52v in uGURU under heavy load.(Orthos) Idle seems to hang around 1.43v-1.47v. Benching & such it stayed between 1.43v-1.45v. This makes it very difficult to find the limits of an untested cpu with such fluctuations in voltage.

Some good news for quad core owners..

Quote:

Hi
As an abit representitive, I would like to point out a few things that the above user and probably many others are unaware of.

With regard to the IN9-32X MAX motherboard, abit has unlocked the QX6700 upwards multiplier some months ago, however that BIOS is still in Beta and has not been posted on our website.

If customers want to use the Beta BIOS, they may contact the abit FAE support team directly and after that they will be emailed the latest Beta BIOS at their own risk.
http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/contact/technical.php

For those of you concerned about the issue with only 2 cores being overclocked, instead of 4 cores on Quad Core CPU's for the IN9-32X MAX, that issue has been solved and will be available in BEta form on Wednesday 11th April 2007.

Thanks kindly

I found this on ABIT forums. Some wierd things to note. I do have the 1.1 Final bios and that one is not on thier site either.

I am running the 1.2 B01 and it has cleared up 90% of my problems with this board. All I really need now is a premade Active VRM heatsink for this motherboard and I will be more than happy. I dont want to go with the hassle of plumbing 3 more waterblocks into my system.

I'm guessing different board - you have the FP-IN9 SLI rather than the IN9 32X mentioned?

I just installed the latest beta bios that fixes the quad multi and it works great! Haven't done much other than set fsb to 323 and multi to 11 for 3.553GHz and all cores are running the same speed according to Everest CPUID and RMClock. Sweet!

I'm going to test to see if I can get fsb above 333 later and will also see if I can get ram above 1058 - both were 'capped' at those speeds before. Probably still are, but the multi issue was my main concern and it is fixed now.

Well, just got the third board up and running. However, it won't boot unless you power off for a long time or clear the cmos first(gives the code CF and no picture when this happens). Then it defaults the processor to 1.6Ghz(multi set at 6). Is the cmos battery dead or something? Any other thoughts?

Good a place as any to try...I've read a couple of instances where you would see behavior like not saving settings and what not with a weak or dying battery (on any board, not just the Abit). Cheapest place to start. 3rd board eh?

Sorry, i didn't mean to give the impression there was power applied when clearing the cmos. I mean that if i DON'T clear the cmos or power off for a long time, it does this.

So thats what happen.. when I start the system I hear the normal "BIP" of when a PC is starting and then the VGA send signal to the Monitor but so nothing appears on the monitor and my Motherboard stop at the "2D" postcode...

Could it be because of the P4 Prescott or the 4mb PCI vga?
Should I send this motherboard for RMA or should I wait for the E6600 + 8800GTS to test it again before?

Thanks in advance.

Too hard to tell what the problem is but did you clear the cmos? When you get the 8800 I'd put that in 1st before swapping cpus and see if it works. If you make 2 changes at once and then it works you won't know what the cause was.

to say the truth, its more then enough, it has 80%~85% eficiency :)
Look at it here: http://www.huntkey.com/eng/productmore.asp?id=666

Well... I'll wait for the 8800 gts and e6600.... and then... if still not booting.. RMAing it
04-16-2007, 02:23 AM
shawn1998

The efficiency rating means nothing. Look at the 12v rails. They are only 16 and 18 amps respectively and that is at MAX load. The psu is also rated at 25 degrees celsius as well, meaning it's rating of 550watts is not accurate. I think it might me too weak of a psu.

edit: I do see what you are trying to run it with and it's not too intensive, so it should work you're right. But if you throw an E6600 and an 8800gts in there, you are asking for more issues that could be psu-related.

Well, i just got my E6600 and tried only with it, without the PCI VGA it just send a "beep" of error(i guess thats cause of no VGA) and then continue and even pass of the "2D"... but when i but the PCI VGA again it makes all again... the normal "Beep" of the pc starting and the monitor gets on..

well.. tomorrow i'm probably gettin my 8800gts, lets see if i'll really have to RMA this MB...
