by the way, im not at bios14... should i go to beta 16 ?
[QUOTE=cscheat;2646579]There is a problem with the Abit Pro P35... it has to do with the CPU voltage drop. From what I understand it is a "hardware problem" the newest bios has helped a little but there will always be a Voltage drop for your CPU... but that should not really matter.. as long as you are on your lowest possible settings (stability presummed). But in bios 14 there was a "very" large voltage fluctuation with my CPU Vcore... and the beta bios has helped that problem.. ALOT!!Quote:

Other thoughts... I had to wait about 200 hours before my thermal compound cured... thats running time. I used Artic Cooling MX-2.
The only thing I kind of don't understand is why I am able to set my Vcore under 1.4V and still pass prime 1024 at 3.6Ghz, but maybe I just have not looked at what other people are doing. Mind you I seriously spent days trying to figure out the best settings in each catagory.
Have you tried to tighten your memory timming? The last time I ran Prime 1024 I did it at 406 seconds. Whats your score? At whats your temps using "coretemp" mine is 38-40 at ideal and in the high 60's under load.
[QUOTE=joshuaboston;2646619]My understanding is that it is a "Hardware Problem" based on the Intel Chipset, not because of any flaw in the design of the board.Quote:

No matter what you try bios 14 will only give you the 6 multiplier with a QX9650.Quote:

And then all other multipliers will be open.
[QUOTE=AstroCreep;2646917]Well, there is suppose to be a hardware fix (sodering is involved)... so I don't think it is the chipset. but no big deal...Quote:

Vdroop is part of the Intel specification so if you want Intel accreditation you will have Vdroop at defaults (some mobos get around this by having a secondary circuit that can get enabled from BIOS - in their default states though they are disabled to comply with Intel).Quote:

Hi Guys,
Just got my system built...but am having a hard time trying to figure out how to do the following:
CONFIG: (3) 320GB Hard Drives SATA
GOAL: Setup a RAID 1 config with WinXP Pro SP2 using 2 of the drives. 3rd drive will be for non-critical data (stand-alone).
PROBLEMS:
1. I have no floppy drive. Even if I did, all the drivers are on the CDROM included with the mobo so installing the RAID controller drivers during setup is not doable.
2. In order to get WinXP installed can I set the BIOS SATA controller in IDE mode to get WinXP installed on one of the drives and then change it to RAID mode afterwards without destroying my data on the install drive?
3. Or should I use Intel Matrix Storage Manager to setup the RAID?
4. If none of the above will work how do I get the drivers to install during WinXP setup? I know I can press F6 to install drivers, but I don't have them on a floppy as I stated.
A simple step-by-step on how to install WinXP Pro without the Intel RAID drivers would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Thanks!!!
:) Thanks for any help!

Good post!!! :) :) This has been discussed a 1000 times or more yet people continue to not research it and use it as an excuse to slap a manufacturer... More importantly, it is of little significance, just configure accordingly. :rolleyes:Quote:

Ive heard great things about this board just curious before I purchase one.
What do you call extreme cooling?
Dice or LN2 :) Perhaps phase as well I guess. I am asking in terms of Dice/LN2 temps though.....Quote:

Just wondered... :) The question is ask often and usually by people that have no concept or ability to do Dice or LN2... :rolleyes:
I can't answer the question as I do H2O because I need a 24/7 machine and don't waste time with bragging rights or extreme benchies that mean nothing relating to everyday performance...
Regards-
PS: Yet this is "xtemesystems" so whatever... ;)
New to extreme cooling here and just getting started. Heard alot of good things about this board though.Quote:

Pretty well; looks easy.Quote:

Yeah, thanks...That was pretty much a worthless post. Assuming I want to save $6 wasn't (and isn't) the issue. I don't have space for it in my chassis.Quote:

That's cool, no problem... As far as being a worthless post, it was a worthless question to start with, but whatever... Heck with where you have room, just hook it up outside of the case to do your install, then put it in the closet until you need it again... :) But whatever works for you... ;)Quote:

Also, yesterday I rebooted out of Ubuntu and I heard about 5-6 short beeps and the comp froze. I don't know if t was an Ubuntu error that caused it or something serious. Hasn't happened again.
Is there some sort of beep history log in the bios? If not, what is the best way to figure out the problem. :shrug:
I get that too (lower pitch & a little longer than normal post beep?) but have never had a problem when it happens :shrug:Quote:
