You got a BloodRage Board? Nice!!! :toast:
Did the Netherlands office send it to you? :)

weird about the crash... ill see if i can reproduce it.
Are you using Vista 32 or 64?
What version of Aegis panel?

Btw, about SetFsb, im using version 2.1.69.2 and its the last ICS PLL on the list, which is ICS9LPRS919BKL and it works fine...

http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/
the latest beta you can download from abos website is 2.1.89.0 and in the release notes on the same page he mentions that he added support for BloodRage with ICS9LPRS139AKLF.

I tried version 89 and it worked fine with AKLF at first, it wouldnt read any of the speeds correctly but i could increase the bclock. then i tried 919BKL and it actually read the bclock properly! which is surprising since it didnt do so in the older version. when i tried to set the speed with 919BKL it froze windows...

The weird thing is that i now tried again AKLF and 919BKL and both give me random errors... either setfsb crashes, or i get SMBUS error or i get PLL byte error etc... this was on vista 64.

So i recommend using the older version for now... or try the new version, maybe it works fine for you.

I'll try and hit him up while he's over in Vegas and see if he's using the Zeus or Olympus.

it must be the zeus... we have several OP1200 units here and our BIOS and HW engineer are using one on one of their test stations, plus the test lab has 1, and im using 1, so... i really doubt the OP1200 has any problems with the board. maybe if theres another revision...
Btw, ill send you the parts that were changed to solve the psu problem, the easy part is removing 3 smd parts, the difficult part is adding 3 smd resistors :P
i know you got the skills and probably even the smd parts or at least some other resistors, so i hope you can do the mod and confirm it fixes the problems entirely :)

Sure thing Sascha, that'll be great. I have the board here right next to me, so as soon as you find it LMK and I'll get on it soon as.

Raja

No Saaya , it was Taiwan :confused:

alright! from andrew right? :D cool :D

It's pretty clear they see you as a threat in this segment, hence the copy. That's the positive, you're on their radar. Another thing with this industry is you don't always get credit for your ideas either. Peter has brought a lot to the table since jumping the fence into being a pivotal member of the industry as have you, just carry on this way and it'll all come good.
