Have been running 1t here...300mhz HTT and ram is at 245mhz 2.5 3 3 6.....Corsair TCCD.... will run 200 loops in test 5 and 8 without any problems...no problems playing BF2 or running 3dmark 99-05 either

Have been running 1t here...300mhz HTT and ram is at 245mhz 2.5 3 3 6.....Corsair TCCD.... will run 200 loops in test 5 and 8 without any problems...no problems playing BF2 or running 3dmark 99-05 either
so is this cosair xms4400? is the patriot xblk the 3200 at new egg?
I'm gonna order some memory and I really want something that will run 250-260 htt at 1t on this ultra board.
thanks for the info so far guys
how can you be so certain that RAM will give you 1T.....whoever said anything about that......

I am sure OCZ's RMA dept. is sick of it too.
6 sticks toasted, 2 boards rma'd and now im too scared to put the new ones in the board. I have Quality gear running at stock speeds on valueram because the dfi damages mem.
SO
The fatal1ty sli board is looking to be my next purchase and my system is as so:
enermax 600w ali niosetaker
athlon 3000+ winchester current
athlon x2 4400 (on order)
evga 7800 gtx (i have one now, but will be running 2 when i have enough for the second card)
1 gig ocz pc4000 VX
I have read this thread from start to finish now and from what i infer these are the the known issues:
-1t command rate reboot on "e" revision cpu's above 225 htt
-incorrect temp reported (just like my old ic7-max3)
-errors galore if fan reporting headers arent disabled in bios
-x2 + sli capability non functional unless using bios 16
-voltage fluctuations on vdimm?
What i need to know is if this board will eat my VX sticks? If you were me on UTT modules would you make the switch?
Also the chipset cooler on thid boasrd is placed in the same spot as my DFI, basically under your vidcard. Anyone know of a water block that will fit underneath?
My water cool setup will be as follows:
swiftech mcp 350 pump
120mm rad
koolance cpu300 v06 cpu block
koolance nv2 vid l02 waterblock
The ram i have is the xms4400c2.5pt...512mb sticks.....but i have to say in my experience its hit and miss...these sticks will do 1t on my fatality an8 sli to about 280mhz...but not on the an8-sli board they sent me from RMA.....the a8nsli will only do 220mhz 1t at any ram divider and it gets unstable above that...the fatality wont do 1t at 1:1 above 230mhz.....also with the fatality board i have...the sticks must be in the right order in slots 1/2 for it to work...so i think what dino22 is trying to say is...so far with this board nothing is %100 certain...
just replace the tim pad with Arctic Silver and you are good to go. The heatpipe works really well.Quote:

Does the 1t problem exist with the dual core CPU's? i would suspect it does.
I thought the fatal1ty sli came with 2 fans on the OTES, not a heatpipe.Quote:

I can pick up up the fatal1ty sli for ~300 cad
or
the non fatality sli for ~200 cad
the non fatal1ty is silent as well.
Is the extra 100 bucks worth the uguru panel?
hehehe....I am a lot more active with this than you think......hehehehe......there is no solid evidence that RAM forces you to run 2T......you'll have to doa bit more searching and testing to confirm that dude
you should visit Abit USA Forum and check out the top sticky there.....I happen to manage a sticky with direct reference to this topic....hehehe:slapass:

bios 16 here....
13 then 16 then 13 then 16.... I don't see any difference other the losing 3.55Vdimm to 3.4V in 16
what's the highest overclock people been getting with the Abit? Just need a consensus to see if this board is raelly a good overclocker.

Also to the other people who have this board, should I hold off on my x2 4400+ until a good bios comes out?
i have decent watercooling gear coming, and im ready to run like a banshee.
I don't think first post is correct.....i can do some benches at 2.97GHz which ain't there

Well i got mine started pretty decently and i like it so far. Im on bios 13 i think. My results so far are 260 1:1 with ocz rev.2 3200 with 2.8 vdimm.
THe only question that i really have is that when i set my vcore to 1.475 in the bios it reports as 1.400 in the cpu-id and cbi. Are they wrong or is my board refusing to go over 1.4 vcore? Also mine hates tight timings so far but thats ok as i want high 1:1 speeds.
something strage with your vcore there...have you tried BIOS15/16
