Yep, pins are fully inserted, temps seems to be around 60 - 70 when doing a 400+ FSB, don't know CPU temp saying 0°c because i'm under phase change, no idea to have the real temp, the mobo dont read negative temp... eVGA do it...
i think this board is suffering bios un-maturity but i'm not very confident ...
My setup:
X6800 retail ( can do 4+ GHZ on eVGA ) under Vapochill.
2 Go of Corsair Ram 8500 C5 inserted in blue slots.
2 Raptors 74 + 150 Go.
Zeus 850W PSU.
XFX 8800 GTX SLIed at stock Voltages & Freq, on air.
I replace the heatpiped HSF thermal pad with white thermal paste, and put a 40x40 fan on NB.

Check the issue of this user ....
And another one, with same rams as me :
"After five days fiddling with this motherboard I think my head's going to start spinning.
I have a pair of Corsair 8500C5D which will NOT let me run stable @533 5-5-5-15 2T, no matter what I do. And those are the settings they're supposed to run @ straight out of the box.
Although memtest will happily run for 12 hrs straight with no errors, and I can Orthos until my studio looks like a tropical rainforest, in the least expected moment it will greet me with an old acquaitance that I haven't met for about three years: the BSOD "Stop 0x000000F4 (0x00000003, 0xblablabla, 0xblablabla, 0xmorebla)". ( this is a quote )
Well I think some IN9 are facing some issues and some don't.
AS Asus Striker is suffering issues too.
SO my conclusion:
I'M NOT A BETA TESTER :banana::banana::banana::banana:ING ASUS AND ABIT SHAME ON YOU
REALLY PISSED OF OF THESE MOST_OVERPRICED_MOBO_OF_THE_MARKET.
Sorry for your troubles.
It seems that all of the nforce 680 mb's are having these problems but it seems to me that it mostly happens with Corsair memory and / or inferior power.
I notice that guy on the other forum has a 520W powersupply. Just becasue it worked with a previous system or stripped down on his system,doesn't mean it will work perfect on a new motherboard even stripped down.
In your case though, the PS is perfectly fine.
Can you try other ram?
NO, I'm not gaining money like this.... 400€ for 2 Go of good memory, that is the price I paid for Corsair, and my modules are working on eVGA, why not on ABit / Asus ?
Well noobzed.
Tested it with an second IN9 exact same issue so i'm sorry Abit but there is something seriously wrong with the bios !
I presume your Corsair also uses Micron chips as the same for my 2 GB of ram.
How can Abit not seen this issue ...... these Micron chips are the most popular with the enthousiasts wich are the one's buying these super overpriced HEADACHE boards.
I'm returning it and am getting the already proven Bad Axe 2 wich should be a lightyear away from these 680's when it comes to stability !
Do U tried the beta bioses ?
What is PWm Phase3 temp in uGuru ?
I tried M622A_11.B01 wich i got directly from Abit.Quote:

I on the other hand don't have this bios so i can't test it :mad:
The PWM temps are perfectly fine but since my board will not run a second of Windows i cannot test it under load but with a fan i have blowing over it it wont be a big problem and in uguru it shows as ~50 C.
Well I have the exact same memory as you SmokeyTheBandit, the Crucial 10th Anniversary. Before I flashed to the B02 BIOS is had NO PROBLEMS with the RAM.
I do notice that both you and Noobzed are using 8800GTX cards. If you have a PCI card lying round or can get if off someone please try that instead?
Will give it a try right away .... but it seriously doubt that the fastest card available won't work .... would be a big :slapass: :nono:Quote:

Hardly a beta tester problem. And this is not technically the fault of Abit, Corsair is the exception to the rule. Consider that everyone else runs at the STANDARD 1.8v, and you default your BIOS vmem to 2.2v then your overvolting an awful lot of other manufacturers memory sticks. It's a sticky situation but I am surprised as these sticks have EPP which in my understanding should have improved compatibility...go figure. This hopefully should improve with BIOS updates.
BIOS
THIS IS A BETA BIOS YOU ARE FLASHING AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!!!!!!!!

It works for me, but then again I don't have your system so if it's not the silver bullet for all your woes it's not my fault!

What exactly is the problem?
Do u flash under xp ?
When i bootup the motherboard and proceed to the Xp loading screen it goes alright.Quote:

In my case it loads op windows and when the cursor should appear, it suddenly reboots without a bsod or anything. :stick:
When installing a fresh Xp install it does the same in the middle of the installation (DOS Part !) .... so this must be a hardware/bios malfunction.
By the way Johnny thank you for the bios! :toast:
Didn't do his magic but was worth the effort.
Already emailed with Abit but they simply had no aswer regarding this issue.
He got his up and runningQuote:

also, disabling epp seems to improve stability.
The Crucial sticks Johnny and i are using don't even support that feature so i doubt that has something to do with my problems :(Quote:

I have tried Beta Bios 1.1 no imprvments, and it is worst in fact, cannot change ram freq, this is a not finished bios, but the flash operation worked, going back to 1.0 today.
With 1.0 bios, I can get stable OCCt for 30 minutes burn, 400x10, ram@800 4 4 4 12 2T @2,2v, but the only negative things is the CPU VTT at 1,4 and NB at 1,4v too. On my eVGA all settings on auto except the vCore and it can do 400 easily, so far i have found stability, need more testing.
