Don't think it's going to be a problem with a quad since the IP35 Pro and IP35-E share the same PWM IC and 4-phase circuit. The Pro has an additional ADI (analog device) IC for extreme overclocking above 500MHz FSB.Quote:

how did you modify the "RUNME.BAT"?...or...did you manually type it out for a DOS flash?...because...it should have worked with the "B03" extension...that is how i flashed the board.Quote:

Please re-post if you plan to overclock your 6320. You'll need decent RAM if you want to break the 500MHz barrier.
At first i thought it was the usb pen flash did not work with this board.Quote:

per chance did you rename the actual file before flashing?

glad you made it:up:Quote:

looking at your posts, i've got similar results..able to achieve fsb 500, but rock-solid stability is found a little below when put it in case.
That's a new world for my kentsfield after been trying for weeks without success in my EVGA NF680 A1 and the damn fsb-hole issue. Months ago, with the DFI RD600 i suffered too with the GTL tweaks and could not pass 365 FSB
it is a pretty amazing board for the PRICE!:)
mmm...i remember some weird booting issues after placing by mistake my graphic card in the second pci-e slot, when i noticed it and changed the slot it disappeared.Quote:

i should have been clearer about asus...i really wanted to say the asus 965 board double pumps when you overclock it.
Tried the July beta bios for the IP35 Pro, using a DOS bootable USB thumb drive.
My Samsung SATA DVD-RW vanished from Windows Device Manager.
Flashed back to the shipping bios, and the DVD-RW drive re-appeared.
I'll wait for an official Abit bios update before trying any more beta bioses.
Found this link recently, should prove to be helpful to some as I also had the same issue with the IP35 Pro

volts are shown in u-guru
benchs were done with a 7900GTX@stock
atm I think that it affects the IP35-E & probably the IP35 too as apart from the ICH9/9R & the firewire th eboards appear identical & share a BIOS.Quote:

A BIOS mod may fix the problem. I don't see the the lack of ICH9R southbridge as the root cause of the double boot found in IP35-E. Probably sloppy BIOS programming due to the IB9 legacy.
I'm allright with that, but what do you think is mis-reporting, I tried another piece of software but it comes up with similar results.Quote:
Ace-a-rue - the burst speed is miss-reported...can't have that high.
I've seen an improvement in HDD performance by clocking the PCI-e bus to 120, 125 and the board looses the ICH9R. If you think it is really being mis-reported, could you suggest some good programs for benching the hdd?

I was all set to buy this mobo until I read your feed back on the double boot issues. Alot of folks on abit forums have mentioned that also. I find it very anoying cause I'm Mr. Purrrrfect!!! I wounder if the Asus P5K Deluxe has the same issue???
I'm betting that the IP35 (with ICH9R) has it too - anyway, it's been reported back to abit.Quote:
