Yeah, I think abit would not replace/repair the board if you sent it back to them modded. I could be wrong as I know DFI had an "Approved" aftermarket HSF they endorsed for the old NF4 boards.Quote:

Then I guess I really hope it's the power supply! :p:Quote:

lol, we should all start taking pics of our equipment fresh-out-of-the-box - just in case. ;)Quote:

I have to unplug the 24-pin power stripe from the motherboard and then also the video power cord, wait 10 secs. then plug it back in and BOOM...he powers on full boot. (He does this even running stock with a cleared CMOS)
I've heard that memtest doesn't work on our updated bios. Just a little stuck on this one.
Inside details:
Bios version: 14
Post Code: 26
Post Code Definition:
1) If Early_Init_Onboard_Generator is not defined Onboard clock generator initialization. (Help )
2) Init onboard PWM (Is this relating to the temps of it?)
3) Init onboard H/W monitor devices (Not finding that my monitor is plugged in)
Other then this issue; Zero is killing it on the charts and in my books. Still on the stock cooler with temps on Load 40-45range and running @ 2.6GHz Orthos/Prime95 stable of 13+hours.
Thanks in advance

IMO revert back to bios 1.1, im still running it on my rig. after reading varing issues on abit's forums. im not touching the bios some of the issues that cropped up are taken care of. seems these later bios's are not quality like the first one.Quote:

What memory over clocks can you guys get with 4 x 1gigs? I just want to know what others are running.
Yeah I know, but I was jamming it more than I wanted to without much success.Quote:

I think I'm gonna push this at 9x for awhile and see what I can get.
i have problem after flashing beta16 bios.
no display on my mobo and postcode looping. (c1-**-2A-26-2d)
i always use dos to flash my mobo.
i put a right voltage on my mems & proc.
is there any way to force flash the bios?
i already tried clearing the cmos, and remove power cable and the battery for an hour. but still no luck to boot :(
tnx in advance :)
I just updated to bios 14 from abit's site and all is going well except.... uGuru is not reporting my cpu temps correctly... My system and pwm temps are working fine but my cpu temps are stuck at 31c and won't move even while running orthos..
I tried Core Temp and its reporting correct cpu temps idle and full load so it just seems to be uGuru. I'm running the latest version of uGuru 3.1.0.4

damn, that sucks. I just opened up the box on my new IP35 and thought I would start all the prep work and do the HS mod first. And what do I do? I clip those damn pins off. I hope there's nothing wrong with the board. . .Quote:

I think I'm going to replace the TIM with some MX2 I just got, but I'm wondering about the pads. BTW, my pads look like that one in ace-a-rues' 'bad contact' picture.
I have these:

but I doubt I'll use them since my pwm temps seem fine.
I'll send you just enough of these for free for the pwm if you test them out and tell me if they are too thick and reduce temps effectively or not: http://cgi.ebay.com/Thermal-Pads-for...QQcmdZViewItem
From what I've been hearing the uGuru on your cd is newer that 3.1.04 and works better.Quote:

here is a link, which was posted here in this thread, where you can buy online an IP35 Pro bios chip from abit.

i hope the memory swapping out or just one stick resolves your post issue.
I had tried 4x1gb but found that one stick was defective. While it was in RMA, I purchased the 2x2gb G.Skill 5-5-5-15 DDR2-1000 for $189 from Newegg. Much better choice since any board will always like 2 sticks more than 4. I'd jump on the 2x2gb since the speeds and price are damn reasonable.Quote:

it's cool, I got some pads laying around as well. Thanks for the offer though!Quote:

i tried the latest beta16 bios but the problem is memset 3.4beta2 is not working on it, u can adjust the settings but when u close the apps and run again,the values will return to default settings :(
already tried downgrading many times to official bios12 & 14 but the cpu features & other device settings has been disabled by default. no settings can be adjusted. even all my sata drive cant be enable :(
i flash my mobo thru HD and DOS.
now i revert back to official bios11, all the features works fine, memset works correctly.
if theres a fix or a better way to flash the latest bios please let me know :)
i dont use floppy to flash mobo, thats why i flashed thru HD & DOS.
tnx
Same problem and same issue: I flashed with bios #11 and all work fine. :confused:
