17b04 is prior to the final 17 version
Anyone want to bet they'll can the P45 pro and just release the X58? I mean really how much later are going to go, especially since I doubt it would be a lot priced board. Seriously feels like DFI a while back
It's too bad the only mosfet waterblock (that I know of) that will fit on this board is a MIPs cooler, which are hard/expensive to get state side. Always an option though.
Thanks, GeorgeVasil, for the pic. I might be better off researching to find other heatsinks that would fit on SB/mosfets since there will be a portion of the base missing where the pipe normally is. Or i could dremel the ends of the pipe to keep it in there.
I know there are Thermalright sinks that fit the SB, but are there any known heatsinks that fit the MOSFETS?
Go with aftermarket cooling ... dont rely on those "leftovers" of the previous heatsink philosophy. It might do the work when all of them are alltogether connected via a heatpipe but I doubt those heatsinks will be keeping you satisfied for a 24/7 machine
Sup! I cant get my rig game stable. But its ORthos stable .... im kinda stuck here. I've try ICHIO @ 1.70 still crashing. raising ddr to 2.75 still crashing.
I need some advice thx

I doubt if we will ever see these boards from Abit.

Too bad it has to be that way, but that's how it is.
How do 45nm Quads OC/ do in general on this board? Any over all experiences?
quads are more difficult to get real high FSB...generally, you can expect some where between 470 to 485 FSB...it would be VERY rare to get to 500 FSB...i found running around 445 at 9X (default multi for a 9650) worked the best...when i strained to go high on the FSB, it made it a little unstable unless i really poured the voltages on.
i would say to expect about 1000 mhz over the rated mhz of your cpu for a modest overclock with modest voltage increases.
@ smart
I wouldnīt go so far on the vtt. I have an E8400 an itīs most stable with lower vtt. GTL is also an issue. I would try 63% for the wolfdale. My seetings are below. They are 24/7 crunching/gaming stable. To get prime stability I need to increase the cpu vcore to 1.425V. Always remember with the 45nm cores: less voltage is often better
I am having trouble getting Prime 95 stable at 3.72, here are my current settings and a link to my setup. I want to get to 3.8 for crunching but I have hit a road block. It will run at 3.6 fine.
vcore: 1.44 ........ (new setting) 1.46
vcore real: 1.38...... (new setting) 1.40
Buss speed: 436
vMCH: 1.52
vICH: 1.09
Multi: 8.5
Core Speed: 3706
CPU VTT: 1.30
ICHIO: 1.6
CpuGtlref 0/2: 63
CpuGtlref 1/3: 63
PCI-E Clock: 102

Edit: Made it to 3.7, now to try for 3.8. How much vcore do you think a 45nm chip can handle on good water?
Hello Guys !!!
purposely draw this diagram & need help from all experts !!! i have a sound problem if i output my display to my TV, the sounds seems to be like "pak" "pak" CRACKING SOUND every few seconds !!! at first i thought it was my speaker gone bad... but when i output my display to my PC monitor, the annoying sound is gone !!! HELP !!!:ROTF:

note
1. My Audio Cable is good & nicely connected
2. System already updated to latest DRIVERS
3. I'm using a DVI - HDMI adapter to my TV
4. The "Pak" "Pak" sound came out from my Altec Lancing Speakers
5. At first i thought it was my Graphic Card problem (8800GTS 512mb)... now i changed my card to nVIDIA GTX 200 series... still same problem
i would say the DVI to HDMI adapter is the problem.
Can changing the voltages in FanEQ damage your case fans? The low setting is at 8.0V at the moment, is it ok to lower it even further or can it be bad for the fans in any way?
i think it depends on the fan specs...find the specs to see what is the lowest recommended.
The rig in my sig is not the Abit. I have 2 x 1Gb Corsair 6400c4 running at 5,5,5,15 just so there are no issues. This is a cruncher and not a benching system, it has to be stable to do Boinc WCG 24/7 so I run Prime95 small FFT for one hour which is good enough for this project.
@Ace,
I would have thought this 45nm chip would require less voltage at this speed does this seem right to you?
not necessairly when you run P95!...i presume 1.38V is your actual vcore?...is that idle vcore or full load vcore?
what is the diameter of your water cooling lines...how is the temp when you run P95?
if you are crunching 24/7, i would suggest that you back down to 3.6 mhz and accept that as your crunching Mhz.
