Shouldn't be a bad choice since it blows towards the board.
Dimensions are length 125 width 137.
I am seriously thinking about moving from my Asus P5K Deluxe to this board.
What was the highest stable FSB with a C2D Dual Core E6750/6850 ?
BIG THX FOR INPUT.
I haven't been able to find in this thread if anyone is water cooling the NB. Is anyone, and what block are you using?
Don't think anyone's found a block that would fit. :lol:
On 24/7 oces i've not put much voltage through temps aren't an issue. Just running with cpu & gfx blocks.
NO!:D ...i didn't have a chance to call my ISP to complain...so...a couple of days after talking to you and clunk, it WORKED!...go figure...right!;)Quote:

Finally got my 8800GT ans so i was ready to set up my new pc:
Abit IX38 QuadGT
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 G0
Xigmatek HDT-S1283 with Noctua fan and Thermalright Bolt-Trough Kit
Enermax Liberty 620 PSU
4x 1GB Cellshock DDR2-800 RAM (Micron G9DH)
EVGA 8800GT Superclocked with Accelero S1 and Turbo Module
2x 500gb Samsung SATA-HDs
2x SATA DVD-Writers (Samsung 203 and Pioneer 212)
Scythe Floppy/Cardreader Combo
Logitech G15 Refresh
Logitech G5 Laser Mouse
SB Audigy 2 ZS
Cooler Master CM 690
MS Vista Ultimate SB
Hardware was quickly installed without bigger issues 8-pin 12v cable of the psu was a bit short, had to put it under the videocard, beneat that the board layout is great and all fits perfectly in the Cooler Master 690 case.
But than there where troubles with the software - installing Vista was impossible without more than one memory stick installed, it hangs anytime when 'Installation will be finished..' - tried it a few times with Vista 32b and Vista 64b DVDs, but no success.
I take out all memory sticks and left only one and the installation was successful - than tried to install the intel chipset drivers as i was thinking that the problem lies here...
But no success, the installation of the freshly downloaded chipset drivers last a very long time and also hangs than - still with only one gb installed...
System was very unstable than and i had a lot of blue screens than - tried to install three or four times copmpletly fresh but had no success. Immediatly blue screens and hangs and no sucess with installing the chipset drivers - only thing, that worked was the graphics driver for my 8800GT. Big Problems with installing of any other driver.
I checked all BIOS settings, voltages and so on - tried bios 11 and bios 12.b02 - no success at all :mad:
So i gave up with Vista and tried to install XP - no Problems at all, worked perfectly - even the installation runs with 4gb memory flawless! :eek:
Tried to install the other drivers (chipset, micron, graphics, sound and so on) and all worked perfectly?!?
Could this board have and Issue with Windows Vista? i Think not, that the hardware components here where the problem, as they worked perfectly under XP!!!
I think, i will disassemble the board tommorrow and exchange it with an IP35 Pro, as i really want a stable board....
Any comments to this problem, which possibly let me overthing this?
Many thanks and greetings from Vienna, Austria!
abit's AB9 QuadGT (P965X) board had the same problem with vista as you described...it was the bios...when abit caught up with the problem and issued a new beta bios, things went well with a vista install.
this is what really pisses me off about abit...they do not test it with the latest operating system release...they must all use XP for their corporate OS.
you would think they would pass down lessons learned as they move to a newer product for release...i guess NOT!:mad:
I think I am being bottle necked by my CPU.
See sig for full system speck.

My SM scores are not as high as most with the Quad's in there PC's.
Or do you think there is something wrong with my setup?
A setting not selected or something similar.
I pressed "default" for everything in CCC before I did those runs.
Rofor: Sounds like the board has been giving you a hard time indeed.
Silly question: Have you run MemTest on your RAM?
I have recently installed Vista 64bit on RAID0 and apart from having to connect an IDE DVD to install the OS - it all went very well. For some reason I can't see/boot from my SATA DVD. Vista has been fine, no problems at all.
One thing I do beforehand though is to slightly raise CPU VTT, MCH & ICH voltages. I find the system is less problematic to start, perhaps with a quad and hungry graphics card it just needs a tad more juice - and as in your case more RAM normally requires more v.
Maybe try disconnecting all non-required hardware too and use PS/2 keyboard & mouse. Good luck.
What did you expect?! You are running a CF with two pretty fast cards, but you are using the slowest C2D available :rolleyes:Quote:

For high 3DMarks scores, you need a) a quad and b) lots of Mhz.
This was with my old B3 Kentsfield@3,2Ghz and the 8800 GTS.
Oh and by the way, I got my IX38 right here! If I only had some time...
There is a NEW beta bios 12B05.................
Thanks to Gilgamesh :up:
For those that are interested:
nmsystems@chello.nl
@nordien : you can send bios 12B05 to my email Please :) :) jadyds@hotmail.com
hows the result with bios 12B05?
Download Bios M704B_12.B05 Running which is an improvement over 03 :lol:
1:1.25 still not stable. Keybaord in post seems a bit more responsive, but it might be wishful thinking:)
luck:)
ok...just installed with minor probs but nothing i can t handle,BUT,whats the best bios for me to update to and can someone give me the best settings in BIOS for a decent overclock...TIA
Matt.
See Key Posts for bios settings of various clocks BTA 12.02 is about the best performance & stability.
luck:)
I have only tried 11.b02 so far w/o any issues. Even 1:1,25 was stable up to DDR2-1100 - didn't go any further.
you did a nice job putting that review up...well done!:up:Quote:
