i never had the save problem...it saves without powering down except for a CAS change or Command Rate change...i think those require it to shutdown, but not sure since i leave those alone, meaning i set CAS=5 and CR=2 and never touch them again.

yeah, I either have a slightly defective board that I just live with, or it's my power supply, which is a Corsair HX-620. I've heard of compatibility issues with this unit (although I tried another power supply once when I was having the problem and it did the same thing, so who knows)Quote:

I'm on the 16 Final now, but maybe I need to do a more aggressive bios clear when I flash the 17 final. I'll try the procedure recommended here when I get home, I'll let you know how I make out. I'm trying to hold out from buying a new board until x58 comes out. :-)Quote:

ok, good luck..i hope it works properly for you after the flash.
Hello everyone!
Should I plug a molex in my motherboard?
Are you doing CrossFire?Quote:

i would not think so...but...like always, if your overclock isn't stable when running benches, try plugging the molex in to see if that helps...that would be my only recommendationQuote:

i mean , will i get any noticable performance gain ?
thanks alot
well, looking at the differences, the E8400 clocks at a higher Mhz and the E8400 has 2mb more in the L2 cache.Quote:

...so is it even worth getting SLI 8800 GTX on this board?
...rest are in my sig....or should I give the 2nd card to another would-be PC gamer...he has P35 board but by Gigabyte forgot which one...and same CPU also
thanks
you are better off getting X2 card even though this board operates at PCIe 1.1 specs.Quote:

hi
now i'm runing my new E8400 @ 4.05GH 450x9 with vcore 1.29 prime stable :)
need to know what are the decent graphic cards available now to pick one instead of my 8600 gt , a one that could cope with this new games like crysis warhead
searched for 8800 gtx but no luck , could it be the 9800 gt? as far as i know it is pcie 2.0 will it fit in the pro board?
thx
go with a 9800 X2 card...it will just operate at PCIe 1.1 specs...the only thing is to make sure the card bios is compatible with IP35 Pro bios...make sure you have the latest bios installed.Quote:

here is the review..i hope it helps to make your mind up: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...view,1792.html
I got back into pcs when ip35-pro came out and bought it without thinking I would upgrade much. A year later I am totaly back into pcs and the hd4870x2 is running fine on this board so far :)
