I'd like to see someone test an e6400 in one of these or someone with an e6600 with advanced cooling like LN or DI.

refer to my above screenshot, you can see there is a 10C difference between Core Temp and Abit Guru

I don't know if it's the 1.3 bios or not (i didn't try it before) but my system goes weird if I use 1.500V or higher. It has killed my raid setup ! i'll try to flash 1.2 final again and try it again.

well i hoped that abit had already fixed this 7950gx2 and uguru problem but it's still there -_- I'm talking about this nasty bug what is that when u got uguru on in windows and u got 7950gx2 card it only works in single gpu mode and after u turn off uguru it can work multi-gpu mode...

Cripes!!!! The only way I was gonna stick with this board for my game was to buy a 7950gx2 card so I can free up the pci slot for sound but still game with sli. I'm thinking more & more of selling this darn board:mad:

i have this board but haven't built my system yet but if i understand what you're saying correctly...

if you enable uguru in windows then only one gpu works on the 7950gx2 and if you turn if off, then both gpu's work.

can this problem simply be fixed by turning off uguru before you run 3d/game benches? OR does the 1 core of the gpu remain disabled until you reboot and leave uguru off?

yep luckily u can "fix" it by just turning off uguru when u play/bench but still weird and stupid bug.

not so many aw9d +7950gx2 users out there so that's the reason it's not so well known yet ^^
