Having a problem that has been recently stated. Set my memory timings in bios to 4-4-4-12-1t. CPU-Z shows 2t. Memset doesn't have a command rate option which I'm surprised off. Does beta 12 support ACTUAL T1 command rate? Any information is greatly appreciated :)
This is such a bummer. I built my LL A05 with excitement over my IP35 Pro. But two bad boards later, I switched it out with a p5n32-e. I love the 680i CS, but was really looking forward to messing with the p35. Now I guess I will just wait for x38 and c72 XE.
Anyway, this thread was great for helping me TS my problems, and just wanted to give a shout out to all those who shared and contributed.:up:
I gather lot's of people have had problems with D9GMH/GKX and this board?
Well, I'd like to join the club. My TeamGroup PC5300 3-3-3-8 (TXDD2048M667HC3DC-M) with D9GMH refuses to post no matter what.
I'd appreciate if people with working combos of D9GMH/GKX + Abit IP35 (be it Pro or w/e) would reply and attach their RAM SPD dumps here. Please use Thaiphoon or SPDTool.
:)
Here ya go...same memory, but different spd programming (we compared a few pages back)...used SPD tool btwQuote:

yeah, i agree,...i just looked at the board at abit's website...i see only one 16X physical PCIe slot and the arrangement around the cpu socket is different.Quote:

Hey,
Ive got a major problem with the new 400 gb hdd I just installed.
Im running in Vista. I cannot copy stuff that is big or a lot of multiple files on or off of the drive without it locking up. I have tried a reinstall of vista with no help.
Also i get sometimes port error for the sata port the drive is in, i have tried to switch the sata port it is in with no luck. Anyone have any ideas before I have to rip it out and RMA it to newegg? I have 2 sata opticals and 2x250's in raid 0.
Well I was having a problem using my mic in all of my programs but windows seemed to hear it fine. Programs had either static or a constant click in the background. I'm using 64bit vista btw. So I enabled motherboard sound and used the realtek microphone. But the x-fi output sound still works fine. Just the mic drivers that are messed up- creative's fault. But the output sound is excellent.Quote:

Final daily setup:
IP35 Pro
E6850 @ 400x9=3600mhz @ 1.35v
Crucial Ballistix 2x1GB PC6400 @ 4:5 DDR2-1000 = 500 5-5-5-15-30-3-3-3-3-2T @ 2.0v
Case is an NZXT Zero, heatsink is an Enzotech Ultra-X with AC MX-1 compound. Testing was done at full fan speed. PSU used is a Corsair 620HX. Temperatures are ~35c at idle and ~58c under full load for the CPU. PWM reaches only ~50-52c thanks to Ace's mod. The room is fairly warm, ~75-76F.
All other board voltages stock. I bumped the MCH from 1.25 to 1.29 but I'm not sure its really needed, I may put it back. Runs clean through Orthos, OCCT, and dual memtest (768mb each) with zero errors.
C1E and EIST are enabled, so I get 2400mhz @ 1.18v at idle and 3600mhz @ 1.35v under load. Works without a hitch. This works real nicely with a higher multi chip. My E6550 only has 6 and 7, so you don't see a huge benefit from only dropping 1x.
Got some nice round daily numbers out of this one :D
I messed around in Windows with 4Ghz but wasn't able to get it stable even up to 1.45v for some reason. Maybe when I get more time I'll try again, but for now I'm happy with this setup. It would be time to game, but I don't have a sound card yet. I have a bit of downtime between my Audigy 2 and the new Prelude. Should have enough muscle to last me a while.
Have the same card in my rig.....only problem I have is that the mobo placed a usb Host controller on the same IRQ with the X-Fi and anytime I plug a USB device in, the system BSOD's as soon as the devices drivers are loaded (this is the rear panel top 2 USB ports).Quote:

Also the port error it gets is on boot, when it comes up in the bios. Sometimes it wont even detect the drive.
I just tried to do a full reformat of the drive in question, and a full long reformat bluescreens the whole machine after like 15 min or so. A quick format actually works.
If they are all 1066 tracers then why would you even ask the question in the first place? Based on your earlier post I was under the assumptin you were going to try 2 sticks of one type/brand and 2 of another which would certainly have potential for problems. But 4 sticks of the same brand/type is the fundamental way of running 4x1GB modules. Many people do so without issue.Quote:

The main problem I've had w/ the X-Fi on this and the DFI Infinity P965-S relates somehow to pci traffic. Using the pci lat tool to bump it up to 128 solves the prob on the Abit...nothing on the DFI. Asus P5B Deluxe and Evga 680i do not suffer from this problem. They play GRAW2 and BF2/BF2142 wo/ any crackling whatsoever...no fix needed. The major difference between those board's the pcb layer, tho they've got a higher # phase for PWM's, but I'm not sure that has much to do w/ it.

Ah man, where do I begin? The first board was the worst. Crazy post errrors, could not save any bios settings. I could not even set the time. The time in the BIOS borked out Vista too, and invalidated my activation. The video would go out, and had serious i/o errors with my drives. Just crazy stuff that I have never seen, and I TS'd it for hours. Then I rma'd it, and got a board that booted but still had problems. So after spending about 20 hours messing with it, I packed it in, and popped in a trusty 680i board.Quote:

Oh well. I loved the layout and features of the board, and this was my first actual Abit board, so I am kind of bummed. But Nvidia c72 is around the corner. ;-)
Well...I tried that 2nd to bottom PCI slot and it shared IRQ with my nic (really don't like that).... after some enable/dissable of usb and nic in bios/device manager etc. the X-Fi is now sharing IRQ with different USB controller (onboard header not in use as best I can tell) and the back USB ports now work.:shrug:Quote:

Just installed everything and the board won't post for the life of me. Gives me check CPU voltage error and thats it. Anyone have any comments? If not I think I'll try my luck with the DFI board. Thanks.

that memory shouldnt be a problem with this board. Clear cmos via battery method+dipswitch. Install only one stick in dimm slot 4. see if you can get in bios and set your vdimm to 2.1v. And vcore to stock
see if that helps. if not, leave the battery out over night. IF thats not working, if u have the board installed try removing it from case and running on a mat...if u cant get it to post then, i would either try some diffrent memory/psu. Or just return/rma. Thats weird, ive had 2 of these boards without much hassle as far as booting. They boot everytime, always. except for a C1 error, but that was due to posting with 4 sticks my first time getting it, booting with 2 and setting voltage cleared it up right away.
Yea, I just pulled it and am gonna start the RMA with newegg.Quote:

What I cant figure out though is even when I did mount my WB faily loose, it still gave me boot issues ( 8.7 C1, 9.9 8.7 C1 lol ).... I did love the board cos it took 7 RMAs before I gave up lol....Quote:

No matter what, my Team DDR667 D9GMH (with flashed or default SPD) always halts in C1 but works flawlessly on another board. It's not a dead board either since a non-Micron Corsair DDR667 works a-ok on the IP35.
Dammit. :(
I guess I'm feeling like buying some more RAM.
:p
Yes I am watercooled, see sig below. Mounting the block to tight seems really weird and if I remember correctly I didn't tighten it then that tight. I will however try this, thank you. Also I noticed that you moved on the the DFI board, how you liking that?Quote:

Can anyone tell me why I cannot set the vCore above 1.4925 either in bios or through uGuru? If I try it I get an instant reboot if done from uGuru and if I try from bios the o/s will not load completely. 1.4825 gives me 1.37 actual and I can't get totally stable above 3.5 ghz (8x425) at that setting. Or maybe I have just found the limit of the cpu? :shrug: But I would think I could set the voltage higher since so many are above that around here. I was having this problem with an OCZ 520 so I picked up the 850 to make sure I had enough power but I am still stuck at the same place. Any ideas?
what OS are you using and what version of Uguru are you using?
i had an older asus board that was not cooperative so i gave up like you did...i did not want a replacement...i went for a refund.:up:Quote:

if you are using the 11 official bios and clearing cmos does not take care of your issues, i would think about RMA'ing the board...but, try re-flashing and use the "wb" switch...follow my link in my signature to get the instructions on how to flash.
IP35 Pro, Q6600. I run at stock speed, but sometimes use the uGuru utility under Windows to adjust the FSB and Vcore to get 3 Ghz. It's 8+ hours Prime95 stable at that speed. But...
I'm seeing weird results when benchmarking with SiSoft Sandra. If I make the FSB and Vcore adjustments in the bios instead of using the Windows based utility, then Sandra sees the processsor as a 3.0 Ghz processor and my processor arithmetic scores are where they should be @ 55,193 ALU and 38,258 FPU. But, if I use uGuru from within Windows and use the exact same settings, Sandra sees the processor as 2.45 Ghz and the scores are 45,059 and 31,243 respectively.
Other benchmarks give me normal scores and ramp up with the processor speed when I use uGuru to overclock. CPUZ also sees the processor at the correct speed when OC'd through uGuru but Sandra doesn't. Does anyone else see this weird behavior with Sandra and using uGuru to OC from within Windows?
it makes you wonder about the effectiveness of sandra.
Uguru was 3.103, d.l 3.104 as I type. I did flash to the 11 official as per your instructions when I first got the board. I will try again when I take the board down to try a new hs that I want experiment with, but it needs a lap-job before I switch form the Ultra120. I am waiting for 2 new fans before I do the switch. I may do the bios again before then just to test. Thanks for the ideas.Quote:

I can always go back to the Ultra if it doesn't work out but to tell you the truth, I am getting so frustrated with this Intel system I may pitch the whole thing and go back to AMD. I reflashed the bios again and same thing. Nothing above 3.5 is stable and I am not even sure what I HAD stable a couple of nights ago will be stable now. It took a restart at what WAS stable after setting the bios to get into Vista. I am half afraid to try any tests. It just is weird that if I try above 1.48 or 1.49 it justs reboots. I have been running my 1066 Ballistix at 1:1 5 5 5 15 so it cannot be that I would guess. PMW temps never get above the high 60's, cpu never above 61c on the highest core.

Love to back using setfsb but this board does boot alot slower than the IP35p, if the extra voltage is not needed, then its not worth the extra $$ compared to the abit...
Folk, sandra is a nice program in general. But that odd stuff you talked about is simply they are behind with the prog a bit. p35 is an extremely new chipset, so dont expect alot of benchmark/monitor programs to fully support accurate data. Hell intel's download portion of their site still has yet to add P35 under >download&support>chipsetsoftware>...
wow man you've had more trouble with boards than me. and thats saying alot. i honestly don't know what your problem could be, i would look at trying a diffrent psu if you haven't already!!! I havent used water cooling since nforce 2 days..back when actual car rads where being used lol. IT has to be something with your block, or to much draw from the pump shorting something on a rail..who knows..thats nutsQuote:

anyway sorry to throw this off topic! back to ip35!
I was thinking the same about the psu but ive checked the rails ( with multimeter )and theyre all very stable... Power should be more than plenty cos my Decathlon 750w is only running the cpu, mobo, rams, 1 pci video, 2x raptors and thats it... my pump is AC and and the 3 fans for the rad runs on its own PSU... while benching any other fans used is geting power from my other rig.....
My setup is very lean and sits flat on my stereo stand so grounding is not an issue.... what I dont get is Ive been using the same HW since feb. and had no problem till P35... ive palyed with commando, P5B, 2x DFI 965-s also my first IP35 pro was trouble free for almost a couple of months then i the last 3 or 4 weeks I went through 7 mobos:confused: .... no major changes in my rig also during those killing times which makes it hard to troubleshoot.... only change zi did was getting an e6700 but it also died along with dead mobo #1:( ... best cpu Ive ever had too ( 567fsb and 4100mhz+ 32m stable on water ).... Maybe theres little elves that plays with my comp when Im sleeping lol....
BTW, none of the mobos died while running, theyll be fine then just boot anymore the nest time I use it:confused: postcodes I get are 8.7, C1, 9.9, 8.3 ... Ive seen these same issues with other people, I just went though all of them lol...
But this board I got right now is running strong.... **knock on wood**
Are you having any trouble using the mic on the x-fi? I also have 64bit w/ 4gigs of ram and an x-fi, but I had to use my onboard sound for my mic and x-fi for my actual sound :rolleyes:. A LOT have been reporting the same issues. Supposedly the march 64bit drivers didn't have any problems at all, but then again there are obviously compatiblity problems with different programs because there would be no other reason to release new drivers. LMK if you have the same problem with the mic.Quote:

2nd, i heard via the grapevine that WD Raptor drives are subject to errors on this newest version of the ICH9(R) chipset(s)....if you can swap out the drive with another type other than a Raptor, you might just get a higher overclock.
3rd, try boosting your ICHIO 1.5v to 2.0v for a short time along with boosting your MCH to 1.7v for a short time to see if that steadies your overclock or allows you to go higher...if it does allow for a higher overclock or makes it very stable then you can back it down a notch at a time to find the sweet spot.
Memory is set at 2T. At the moment I am using Vista which is on a Seagate drive, the Raptor is my XP install so that should rule that out. I had not played with the ICHIO voltages and MCH I have not gone above 1.54 (I think that is the step). I will give that a shot and see what happens. Let me ask you a question. I see the posts of some people having problems with tightening the cpu cooler too tight. I wonder, is it possible to have tightened the screws on the heatpipe assembly too tight. Could this possibley be causing my problems?Quote:

Hey Ace, could you or someone else if you have the time post a really quick list of programs/software that everyones using for benching please. More importantly what versions of the programs including Bios. Also if there is anything that comes to mind with a particular program could you shed some light on that as well? It seems that I read different issues with different versions of software. One last thing, I'm only talking for CPU, 3D is not needed. So for example,
1) uGuru - version
2) CPUZ - version
3) Super PI - Version
4) Core Temp - Version
5) Most stable BIOS
You guys get the idea. I know it may sound a little stupid but gosh this would help so much rather than sifting through thousands of posts.
Thanks guys :up:

May I ask how you know the NB temp? Is that the system temp?:confused:Quote:

I got my two 74GB Raptors (16MB) early this year for $119 was gonna get 4 but thought i should get something else so I messed up thereQuote:

no its not, the system temp is your overall case temp.Quote:

I'm experiencing this too (1T set @ bios = 2T @ CPU-Z) with beta12.Quote:

what bios are u using strange|ife? are you using HZs?
Well there is no performance gains either I don't think. In this thread, someone tested the difference between 2T and 1T on this board and the scores were identical...I'm blaming abit's bios right now :shrug:Quote:

These settings got me 7 minutes of Small FFT's before Core 2 crapped out. So I upped the vCore to 1.4925 and got an instant shutdown upon firing up Prime. This thing just hates high voltages. So I just went to bed ans tossed and turned thinking about it. This morning I got up and went back to the first settings of MCH 1.65, ICHIO of 1.81, and vCore of 1.425. But this time I set the CPURef's to 70% instead of 67%. I am now almost 2.5 hours into Small FFT's without a whimper from it this time. I am beggining to like this thing now :up: Thank's Ace for the suggestions.Quote:

At what multiplier though? I can do 8x400 easy at stock volts. It's 9x400 where I have stability issues. Anything above 3.2 to 3.3 requires more voltage. My chip has a Vid of 1.2125, what's yours? That could make a difference. There can be all kinds or reasons. I still think I may have an issue with the heatpipe maybe being too tight. I know I cannot go very high on voltages as I just get a shutdown. I should have the fans I want to try on the Gemeni II on Monday. I am going to remount the heatpipe when I do the hs change just to make sure. I did the mod before I ever installed the board so I don't know what it could do before the bolt job. I even changed psu's thinking I that maybe i was having voltage supply issues from the symptoms. I now wonder if my OCZ was not to blame. I can't find out now as I ahve already swapped it out for 2 more sticks of 1066 Tracers, whick I need to install also. Or it could be that I just have a pickier board than most. Must be a female, huh.Quote:

Actually raising the MCH seemed to cause instability for me.
Could also be a difference in the Quad needing more that you Dual :shrug: . I just know I am glad to see it finally Prime stable at 3.6. I bumped the ram up to 1:1.2=960 and tightened the timings to 4x4x4x12 and it's been Priming away for 2.5 hours now. I will start lowering the voltage to find the sweet spot after redoing the heatpipe and changing the hs. I want to see the effect of the Gemini on the getting much more airflow around the top of the board since it sucks so much with the Ultra120. If it doesn't work I will go back to the Ultra.
I think I need 1.33v MCH to get it stable at 8X400 FSB :confused:
Alright, well i am back with my HDD problems. I tested the harddrive i was going to RMA and that was not working direct sata into my board, in a hdd external enclosure and it worked fine!
I was able to transfer at normal speed and do everything as I should.
I also took the drive out of my external and put it direct sata into the board and it was showing the same problems as the supposed broken one!
Now I think it may be the board!! what should I do, is there any way to try and configure something in bios??
What type of instability were you experiencing?Quote:

I can't for the life of me get these 6400HZ sticks to post I am SO PISSED OFF! I have tried everything - do you think I should RMA good sticks?

being bored this weekend, i decided to load up everest memory READ/COPY. with 1T enabled over 2T. I could have sworn last time i did this test i gained 600 or so points..maybe it was something diffrent, it was a while ago. anyway i took some screencaptures.
iam running 451x8 memory@902mhz 4-4-4-12

as you can see very very marginal gains to be had with 1T right :rolleyes:
now:rolleyes:
maybe everest isnt the best program to use?? for this sorta of thing.
3DMark2001 is still the best benchmark I have found to test different CPU/FSB/DDR configurations. Watch the framerate results for car, dragothic and the lobby tests, they are very sensitive to these changes.
Synthetic benchmarks don't carry much weight.
In a couple cases I wasn't able to pass cleanly through Orthos until I lowered the vMCH on my IP35. That was at 460x7 1:1. Maybe every system is different, but neither of my boards needed more MCH volts. It may be the difference between a dual and a quad, I'm not sure.Quote:

If I don't run CPU-Z, everything is fine and I can browse the internet, etc. Has anyone seen this problem before and if so, any suggestions to fix it? Oh yea, I was on 11 bios when I saw this problem then flashed to 12 beta and still same problem. Thanks.
