AOpen i975X YDGa Problem Solving thread

So far 2.616 ghz stable with Prime and Super Pi. Board is very quirky. It is much like a DFI in that respect. I had updated the bios to 1.08 and then it would hang at the Aopen screenie. I did a few things and finally changed the Vid Card to the top slot from the bottom slot and all is well.

There definitely is a limitation on this board as far as fsb. BUT we should all realize that these chips started on a different factor of 166 versus 200 so right there is a huge difference. So really 220 is 250 in that regard.

I figure with a little prodding this thing will do 2.7 with a tweak here and a tweak there. After working with it for a while it is quite a stable board and well worth it. I need to do some more stress testing today but it should be good to go and in the case soon (I always run a test bed out of the box first to get things tidy. THEN put it in the case and route the cables, etc.

By the way, one piece of advice: Always, ALWAYS reset the C-MOS when changing CPUs and/or memory.

Well I have settled at stock volts and settings and at 2.616 ghz. I am loving it. Speed step is still involved when not heavily taxing the machine and still powerful when I need it. Got to love this board. Now if vid cards could just come down a little in price...

finally this mobo worx great, all along i thought my yonah was corrupting data when it was the dud mobo

if aopen dudes are still reading this, bios v1.08 does not work with the areca raid card, if i take out the raid card, mobo boots. also, bios shows 4GB super talent DDR800 memory as 340xxxxKB.. 4GB ram fully supported?

Just restart will help me.

I've had an i975Xa-YDG with a T7200 laying around and found a buyer who wants Vista installed. I updated the bios with the most current one available which states it is compatible with Vista. I'm able to complete the installation but Vista won't boot. (XP Pro works fine) I read in the aopen forum that I should flash back to version 1.06 and that would solve the problem but it didn't. Does anyone have any tips that might allow me to install Vista??? Thx.

with an AOpen i975Xa-YDG mobo and a T7200,
what bios should I flash please ?
( ram is Crucial Tenth )

Sorry for digging up an old thread, I have a habit of being a year or so behind the current gen tech as I like bargains :D I have just brought an AOpen i975, now just waiting for my RAM to arrive to try it out.

I have a Celeron-M 420 to drop in and OC like mad, but the main reason for buying the board is to put my T7400 in and OC that.

Here is a screenshot of my T7400 on my AOpen i945, Is this stepping any good from peoples experience?
