No problem or offense taken, I didn’t take it the wrong way or anything. I don’t try to conceal or promote who I am, I consider myself just another person on the internet.

However, note with the Intel 975X chipset the 1:1 memory ratio is available in three different N/B Straps. The IP35 series doesn’t have N/B Strap information in the BIOS. So how do you know selecting the 1:1 memory ratio invokes the PSB1333 N/B Strap and not the native strap based on the processor? For that matter how do you know selecting any memory ratio invokes a particular N/B Strap? I’ll add I tend to agree with you, I’m not trying to be a smart ass. I just want to know, as I asked in the first post, what do you base that statement on? Did you deduce it? Did you read it in an Intel white paper?

Yes, I am a Mod at Abit forums. Ace-a-Rue should be aware of that. That should have nothing to do with my question(s). I know it doesn't for me.

glad you are over here because the abit forum is really deficient for finding out the latest board info...this forum is a "cut" above...i haven't been back for a very long time...many times the forum was down when i tried to go to the index page...finally got tired of it being down and, for days!

anyway, this guy, HiCookie, over at OCXTREME.org is an abit enthusiasts (appears to have abit contacts) and he posted that image above...i just copied the image....here is his thread where he discusses this board and the strap info:

as you being a forum moderator over at abit tells me that you are a level headed individual...i respect that since i can get up on my white horse ocassionally with other posters!:p: :D ;)

stuck: Just make sure you have good temps and tested it perfectly stable. I personally would not run 505FSB 24/7 at all but YMMV. :)

Good thread, loving the board, a shocker for me, and I'm honestly considering it now because I have no need of X38, but it all depends on how well Penryn does on it.

i think the Penryn is going to be a big winner; at least the QX version...don't know about the lower level versions.

Ace-a-Rue,

Thanks for the links; I’ve never been to that site before. I’ve never seen an IP35 Pro BIOS with N/B Straps before either, now that was a surprise.

Ace this bolt mod is the truth:D
I have dropped my load temps on the PWM by an astounding 20c+...I just finished priming at 3.6:450FSB@1080 DDR2 for 8.5 hours...I just wanted to say thanks:D:D

cheers,

the bios doesn't actually show you the NB straps persay...it is just shows the FSB to Memory ratios...i believe either Hicookie or onepagebook took the image of that bios section and super-imposed the NB strap info that he apparently received from Abit engineers...SO...you will just see the 1:1, 1:1.20, and so forth...the user just has to know the first two FSB to Memory ratios settings are for the 1333 memory strap; the 2nd two are the 1066 strap settings.

it is the reason why the board clocks higher in the FSB side when using the 1333 strap settings.

The second post at the first link you provided has a screen shot of an early pre-release BIOS with selectable N/B Straps.

I know this is off topic but does anyone know these measurements of the mounting holes for the
northbridge please?

Pin to pin is 58mm
Didn't square it off like your picture. Btw the std chipset cooling is good enough, just add a fan.;)

Does this board support 1066 memory I have Crucial 4X1 GB Ballistix its there kit# bl2kit 12864aa1065.000

This is the memory I want to use

i believe that was a special bios made up for Hicookie...it was never there even on the first bios release.

Ace-a-Rue--> I just flash my board w 14 bios but not pleased with it. When i flashed back, suddenly it restarted itself and stuck at C1 post code. I have 2 hot swap it and reflash w 11 bios.

But the problem is now bios doesnt detect my core temperature. Have u experience such things?

you have it working normal except for the core temperature?

i would pop the battery out; clear cmos; unplug your PSU cord to see if you get back to normal.

yep. i've tried them all ,except the battery thing, but it wont worked.

Im not sure its gonna work, beacause some people in indonesia have experience the same thing when they flashed back to 11 bios from 14 or 16 beta. But I'll try it anyway.

Thanx

nope, reload profile doesnt solve coz i already did that

Reflash it many times?:) :) geez, i guess i gotta have a spare mobo in case they failed. So they can come in handy when i need 2 hot swap them...thanx

Had same issue,this worked for me:Remove all sticks of ram but one.Proper cmos clear.Uninstall uguru and reinstall.Adjust uguru settins in bios and in windows.

Intel only officially claim DDR2 800 support for P35 (because that's the highest JEDEc spec. for DDR2) & abit won't claim support for something that Intel won't.
In reality going by the forums it can run RAM upto around ~DDR2 1200.
