What about 1:1.2 and 1:1.25 divider?Quote:

Both 12b09 and 12b08 identical results for me.
And at 1:1 with CL5 performance level 10!

hey fellas i have a bronblem with this board...seems like i cant change the ddr2 voltages from bios at all.. i have flashed the latest bios and still i cant change anything ??? WTF is going on here... do i have a faulty board on my hands ??
Flash with /wb flag as noted at post here with dos/usb update.
is this your 1st abit board which has Uguru chip?Quote:

Because with enter it does not show values.
LOL WHAT i have to press those keys and not enter.... LOL ok thanks dude for making me feel like a total retard.. :up: :up: :up:Quote:

I attribute this mostly to beiong a relative noob with OCing. However, Speed fan has always shown cores 2 and 3 at abnormally low temperatures. they are roughly 10C cooler cores 0 and 1 which are the correct temperature (roughly 10-13C hotter than socket temp or tJunction or whatever it's called). reading the sensors directly with crystal cpu confirms the temps as actual.
Now I could never figure this out for some reason. Just now I was looking at cpu-z and it shows my corespeed at 3006mhz (9x334). I didn't realize i could look at the individual cores until today so i checked em out and 0&1 show 3006mhz BUT 2&4 show 2004mhz (6x334)! C1E and EIST are both disabled! this would explain the variation in core temps if two are stuck on a 6x multiplier.
WTF?! has anyone heard of this? I have run most of the beta BIOS and this has always been the case. Is CPUZ wrong? Speedfan would seem to support cpuz as those two cores indeed run cooler... Anything I should try? am I missing something in BIOS? HELF! ... and thanks :)
i tried cpu z 1.43 and 1.44 and it will not allow me to look at any of the cores for QX9650 except for core #1.Quote:

unfortunately, trying the CPU on another mobo won't be a possibility for me. I took the multiplier down to 6x in BIOS and speedfan still showed the temp difference but cpu-z showed the multi's correctly. Im thinking that maybe cpu-z just isn't reading cores 2&3 correctly. Also is the cores where indeed slower than would they finish prime tests more slowly than the other two cores? As is they are all about even.
Think this is a false alarm. Just a coincidence that the two cores that happen to be cooler also just happen to read slower in cpu-z. Hypothetically, underclocking to a multiplier of 6 should have effected the temps if the cores had been running different multipliers. Also, it should have shown up in prime if half the cores were running 1ghz slower. I'll just assume all is okay.
I would get everest, Ace, but don't you have to pay for it? Anyways, thanks for the input!
Intel CPUs can NOT run their cores with different speeds, that's something only AMD's Phenom can do. So if you're running at 3Ghz, be sure that all your cores are running at that speed. Try using a benchmark such as Cinebench so see whether your 4 Cores are being utilized properly. First run the single core benchmark, then xCPU. You should see a speedup of 3,2-3,9 depending on your memspeed, mobo tweaking and so on.
you can download it and use it for 30 days for a free trial, just some of it is disabled but not the cpu frequency part.Quote:

Why? :(
I'm using official 12 Bios (12b08 has the same problem)
is that the default multi?
can you lower the multi and it saves with 6 or 7?
8 is the default multi.Quote:

sounds like a bios problem...have you used this cpu on any other board???
i would use Uguru's "Black Box" to report that problem to Abit technical....i had to for my QX9650 where it is locked at 9x and below multi with the latest beta bios for the IP35 Pro board.
Sorry 4 the late reply m8. :)Quote:

Those version 12 BIOS are good, but also come with some weakness' in each of them. In my perspective: (I'm using a Q6600 + 2GB Team Xtreem PC1066)
12B06: Good and fast, but the 1:1.25 divider won't work properly on speed above 400Mhz and also the voltage range preset in uGuru detection was wrong, so I have to disable the BIOS alarm.
12B09: Good and the fastest BIOS, the divider has been corrected, and work properly. But the updated JMB ROM version in this BIOS was giving me a hard time, so I downgrade to 12B08 version.
12B08: Good but rather slow in performance when compared to both of BIOS'es above. The divider bug hadn't been corrected in this version, but I think this is the best BIOS for me, as I don't use any other divider except 1:1.5 all the time. :)
Oh, and one input for you m8, why don't you try to reflash your BIOS again with this parameter here? (Try BIOS 12 final)

It sometimes helps some people, regarding to RAM and HDD detection problem in BIOS POST.
Wish you best of luck m8. :)
Btw, has abit released a new BIOS recently, everyone? It's been a while since the last BIOS release. Well, may be 13.B01 perhaps? :p:
i got the same problem with ip35-e.(tried both q6600 and e2140)Quote:

that was with 12b08.
i've tried the flashing in bios method with the official bios 12 yesterday, still no luck... :mad:
I gave up IX38 Quad GT because of slow memory performance compared to Formula.
i know some have used the flash menu with success but i am not a fan of it...i flash from DOS everytime via an USB flash drive...very easy and quick.Quote:

does that mean the flash went bad or do you still have the same problem?
one of the things flash menu does not possibly do is flashing the "Boot Block" which houses your voltages and memory straps...i always make sure that the "wb" switch is added for the flash...see my DOS flashing guide in my signature for more information....many have used with success, even noobs.;)
If not Abit is planing a new bios in the near future i will leave this board asap.
Planing on foxconn or dfi
i use stock bios 11 why my mobo all time reset oc setings after power off same with abit uGuru?
you guys need to report that via Abit's Uguru 'Black Box'!
I have done that twice. And they just say that we are aware of the problems with multi on example Qx9650.....
