I've been asking all resources about the "b's", they just don't seem to be in the states right now. I was thinking of grabbing a week 31 to play with this weekend. When is the B3 Step 7 suppose to debut? Q1 2007?Quote:

I was having some trouble with my Raptor 150 doing the same thing. Try changing the IDE Timeout fron 0 to 5. It gives it more time to detect the drives. Its on the same menu right around where you turn off the bios abit full screen. It fixed mine has shown up everytime since :banana:Quote:

There is NO WAY of hiting 480MHz with default mobo without moding it AND with the bios 1.1 (look at the picture with the PCI-E frequency).....fsb limit was 458 - 460MHz MAX and he hited 480MHz and unmoded.......
Sorry hexus reviewer BUT you LIE.....or you don't "remember" well the fsb you have hited.....After you have picked the fsb through bios, did you hit save and exit or just put the fsb in there just for show off......?.... ;) :p:
YeapQuote:

Crappy review (someone pay for good numbers ?? )
I'm so tempted to sell the Abit now after this retarded review. Its obvious there's something fishy going on.
No way to sell mine......:DQuote:

You're about to see it's resaults one of these days......
NONE mobo can touch it......;) :)

Now when are you gonna share those mod secrets...:p: ?

come on.. publish them already!!! :) :) :)
What is the MAX fsb from this board, unmoded, out of the box ?
10x
I think there is definitely a BIOS bug in 1.2.
I can run up to 445 X 9 yet can't post 445 x 6. I might be able to get more and this system can't tame anything more than 445 x 9 1.65v @ 4.0GHz on air. Too darn much heat. I noticed when I tried 400 x 6 it was still listing my CPU as 3.6GHz in post when it should have been 2.4GHz. Wish I still had an E6300 laying about to try since its default multi is 7 x.
EDIT: Up to a 360 FSB it figures the CPU speed and FSB Multi correctly after that I get crazy results. I set 400 x 6 in the BIOS and instead of telling me I am @ 2.4 400 x 6 @ post it says I am rather attempting 3.6GHz @ 600 x 6.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but is the vmch on this mobo also tied to the PCIe voltage? Seems like you can't vary one without the other. If so, will using larger mch voltages ruin your chance at an overclock or possibly damage the video card?
Is it the same on every other 975 board?
fishy is an understatement, anybody can take a bios shot of 486fsb.Quote:
