Like I stated before I can not run my current memory stable at 400. Right now I use unlinked, 1515 for CPU, RAM is set at 800 but only runs at 768, which is the estimated value also. To get the memory to change from 768 I have to input 808 for memory. But its not stable at that speed I get random reboots. I did get it stable higher but I wrote it down at home and don't have it here at work.Quote:

Like I said right now I want a stable system to do some gaming. Played through some Madden 07 and Prey for a few hours last night and it ran like a champ. I'm at work right now so this is all from memory.
Understandable. Thanks for the info. My goal tonight is to try to get it up to 3.2 - 3.4Ghz stable.
Thanks for the links, looks almost identical to my settings. I have the following enabled by default, any reason to disbale them for a stable memory OC.Quote:

Okay I see Virtualization Technology is mostly associated with use virtual machine which I don't do so I'll disable that.
I don't think it really really matters. I just disable everything in there now to stay consistant. None of it really seems to function properly at this point anyway even at stock clocks.Quote:

Got 3375 up and running orthos stable for a couple hours with 1.4250 volts cpu core and memory set to 2.125 volts. This is running unlinked 3:4 fsb=375 memory=500 at the same 4-4-4-12 2T timings as before. Processor still running in the mid 40's under load and pwms topping out at about 55. Seems pretty good to me.
Ok, I am running quad core, soon on phase. I am stuck between IN-9 and xbx2. I like the fact that the CPU area on the IN-9 is so clear for phase mounting. That's really nice. But the xbx2 has proven performance and is rock solid.
Those with some experience behind them on this board, what are your thoughts? I want rock-solid stable for 24/7 phase. Running 4 gigs of ram and a single 8800 GTX (no SLI).
I've had a strange problem with this board. The BIOS has been randomly complaining that it's reset switch is in the short position, even though I hadn't touched it. This has only happened on a full power cycle, never a soft reset, and the block has allowed the computer to boot at least once in either position!
The thing that gets me about this board is we are at about 6 weeks into the retail launch and ABIT has not seen fit to get an official bios update out.
I know JohnnyBravo, and some of the forum mods on the ABIT forums (which have been down for days) stated that it was coming, but jeez, how much longer?
Do they plan to just give one update and then drop the board like a hot potato and move on to their Fatality crap that is coming out?
Do they plan to treat this board like the AW9D, and just forget about fixing outstanding issues (as was posted earlier in this thread)?
I am pretty happy with the Beta6 bios, but it is a bit touchy, would really like to stable OFFICIAL release soon.
Couldn't agree more with u m8.Quote:

but right now the striker is my only choice because
a. it doesn't need a thermal solution mod that would void its warranty
b. it's a true extreme board, both marketing wise and functional wise. meaning:
Asus is a leading name in the business, and customers will pay for that name.
Voltages, multis, etc are all there from day 1 and there are lots of stable official bioses available as we speak.
I would be willing to give Abit a chance on this one, give my customers a better system than the striker based one, and educate them on what the Abit name used to stand for, and what would be its recent comeback- "the reclaim".
But i'm afraid they're nowhere near that catchy marketing statement yet.
They had their chance with me, and they blew it.
If they don't give a sh.. , I couldn't care less..
2 months is ages in this business and i'm sure you all agree with me.
I just wont give my customers a system with an unstable beta bios and that's that.
Edit: I would also expect some Abit guy to officially inform us about the one full week now, server down problem? hosting the official US-Abit site and forum...
This is where i`m up to for now, still on stock air cooling till water loop completed. Fitted a 40mm fan to northbridge and using a 60mm fan to deflect heat from my VGA`s, northbridge and PWM temps are 52c under load. I have used a fan blowing straight at PWM area and temps dropped to 36c under heavy load but it messed up air flow to Cpu and temps went up 10c to 56c loaded.
Still on shipping Bios...
Cpu core volts @ 1.4550v
Ram @ 2.1v
CpuVTT - 1.40v
NB Volt - 1.45v
SB Volt - 1.55v
HT Volt - 1.40v
Using 9x multi, linked, 3:2 divider, all memory settings @ auto for now...
No one knows and those who don't know, I'm one of the mods there. I've talked to a couple of the other mods and they don't know either.Quote:

Those two guys were doing an awesome job and things were on the up and up. Best admin we've ever had, IMO.
My guess is the server crashed and no one is paying any attention:( .
server seems to be back up :)
Sorry had to laugh out loud at this one...That's pretty bad :slapass:Quote:

EDIT: The forum server is NOT back up...
Though so... about the server.
Seems things are left rolling down on "auto" now...
Anyway, it's nice to know you're here following with us max!
and thanks for your quick reply and being frank on this tough situation.
I just hope Abit (tw) will ultimately respect their customers and the people who work hard for them some day..
I don't know if I killed it or it did it all on it's own.:slap:Quote:

I couldn't rma it because I cut up the chipset HS so I bought a new board.
The dead one was a gift and the new one is having issues of it's own. It keeps dropping a disk on the NV raid. I don't know if it's my stuff or the board yet and as soon as I get it worked out I'll slap the hs on the dead one and rma it.
Max gave a good description of whats happening over at the abit forums, as a Mod over there as well, I'm a little disappointed that one of us at least, were not informed of the problems, nothing like being in the dark.... LOL. It was a shock to all of us when our admin and webmaster guy were let go. Hopefully we can get a response from someone there early this week and they assign someone to the forums, stay tuned!!!
I can't connect to any of abit's web sites now except the old fae site.:exclaim:
I heard ABIT might be up for sale again. Rumors and sites being down are a bad mix:(
Yes, everything ABIT-USA is down now....
FOR SALE:
1 slightly used Abit IN9 or will trade for Asus Striker. :dammit:
I guess we will never get a Final Bios for the IN9 32Max now! LOL.... I knew I should have bought the EVGA 680i board. At least now they are putting out a new revision board that will fix the Quad FSB issues.
I sure hope that isn't the case. I only went with this board because I was sick of waiting for the Asus Striker's to come into stock.... Talk about frustrating. At least it has been running stable. But it does seem odd. First the Forums and now their website... I guess we'll have to wait until Monday and see if anyone answers at home base.
