Duh! I just used the original name. How silly of them to name it something that won't work.
So the file is supposed to be called .B01? Never heard of that file extension before.
the beta bioses have that ie beta1 = .b01 , beta2 = .b02Quote:

i could never get beta 16 to work correctly, so i just gave up and flash back to 14.
damn this thread is still going strong 5 months later crazy:clap:
The board itself makes it still alive... ;)Quote:

Where is the problem? I have BIOS 14...
THX.
Just hooked up the new system! but when i go to power on its like the PSU and all the fans pulse a few times then it dies?!?!. post code 8.2.???
:down: tried reseting cmos. no go
What voltages should I be looking at when overclocking a quad core except the obvious vcore? Will CPU VTT do anything? This thread is getting a bit large so it's hard to find information when you want it.
Oh, and how hot is too hot for the PWM area? It reached 82c under prime load at 1.46v, 3.7GHz. Gave me a warning in uGuru, so I guess that's too high, haha. I've replaced the pins with screws so I think the contact is ok. Guess I'm gonna have to place a fan over it as well.

Hey guys. I'm kinda thinking my issue is just that I reached the limit of my particular E6750 CPU. But wanted to see if anyone has any additional thoughts.
My FSB seems to be limited at 456MHz. My CPU does 8x456MHz just fine with 1.49 volts. I've tried lowering my multiplier to 6x, but I'm still limited at 456MHz. 458 and 460 sometimes gets me booted into Windows and a few seconds to a few minutes stable. But anything more won't even post.
I was using a Gigabyte P965 DS3 board for a while with this CPU with his same FSB limit. I then bought the IP35 Pro a couple days ago and am seeing the same limit.
With the IP35 Pro. I've tried the following voltages.
CPU Core Voltage 1.65
DDR2 2.1
CPU VTT 1.23
MCH 1.37
ICH 1.12
ICHIO 1.65
I've used really loose memory timings while testing my FSB, 5-5-5-18-42 1:1 ratio. And I already tested the memory and know it's good for quite a bit more speed.
All the CPU features are disabled as well, thermal control, limit cpuid maxval, c1e, etc.
Any thing else I can try?
Also about the heatpipe mod. I was going to do it, but after I removed the heat pipe, I saw that the PWMs were all making perfectly flat contact with the thermal pad, and the two chipsets were making good contact, so it looked like I really looked like I didn't need to mess with it. And I have Antec SpotCool fans cooling the memory and NB heatsinks.
My PWM is getting to about 50C, and system 31C, so seems okay. Do I need to mess with removing the thermal pads on the NB and PWMs heatsinks and replacing with Ceramic?

Those pwm chips on the left don't look like their making good contact but I don't believe thats the root cause for poor OC.Quote:

Thank you. I strapped a 40mm fan on to the PWM heatsink and temps dropped over 16c! It's at around 66c under prime load at 1.48 vcore (real) 3.7GHz. Amazing what a small fan can do!Quote:

Ace-a-Rue: I just did the heat pipe mod in your sig, and I have a question. On the P35 chipset, there was a thermal pad in the center and a white pad around it (possibly another thermal pad?). Well I removed the both of the pads and applied MX-2 to center of the P35 chipset, ICH9R and the 12 PWM. Is it ok to have removed the white pad, or should I have left it there? I stuck it somewhere safe and I could put it back later if necessary.
BTW, I have not powered the board yet, it arrived a few days ago and only now I'm fiddling with it. I'm still missing ddr2 ram and a video card before I can put everything together. I have fans I will affix later on. Thanks for the detailed guide, It helped me out a lot (pictures ^^) :up:
I believe the white padding around the thermal material on the NB is to protect the core from being crushed. Removing it shouldn't hurt as long as you don't overdo it when tightening the heatsink down.
Thanks. I used some of your voltages from your link there and tested a bit more. But it didn't get my past that FSB wall. Drat. I guess 3.65GHz is the best this E6750 will give me.Quote:

But I was wondering. Is there a reason why nylon screws were not used? I went ahead and bought both metal and nylon screws and bolts for when I do do the mod. Hopefully the nylons will be strong enough and will provide some safety.
Ah yes, that makes sense, thanks:) . I don't think I over did though, but I did kinda crank it down pretty tight. Maybe I should loosen it a bit, to be safe.
I trying to run with 4 1GB memory sticks. I have version 1 of the ABIT PRO board with bios ID:14. The system boots and runs fine with two sticks of either Corsair CM2X1024-6400C4 G or with two sticks of Crucial Ballistic BL2KIT12864AA804 - at the called for 2.1v (or 2.2v), but when I install all 4 sticks I get a failure on the optional extended memory test in the boot process. (The memory listing part of my Signature isn't correct.) I'm using a E6750 processor at only 333MHz for now, and with the 1:1 multiplier, the memory is only running at 666MHz, so I'm not even pushing it beyond stock.
Is running different brands of memory the problem? Or are these boards have a problem with 4 sticks of memory?
If I need to buy additional memory of the same type that I have, would there be a preference for one or the other?
I'm running Vista Home Premium in the 64-bit flavor.
Yeah I had a lot of problems with my E6750, it wanted a lot of voltage to run fast and was reboot happy!:down: :shrug:Quote:

Try more vMCH like 1.37v or so and see if it will work. You shouldn't really mix brands but a few things I'd do are boot up with only 1 pair of the same brand and then set the timings and voltages manually so spd settings won't cause an issue and then use all 4. Put one brand in the blue slots and the other in the black slots.Quote:

I think it's more to keep the hs from rocking on the small NB chip to ensure even contact. Leave it on.Quote:
