Give me some screens then on your biossettings, and maybe i can have a succes also :D

I know the benefits of a 600+fsb clock(I hardly get past 440),what I want to know is how it is gona help.If I am not wrong,BAD AXE has the 1333 strap but haven't heard of any insane fsb clocks.Sorry but I am new to Intel hardware.

Ill do it when i get home from work. I can boot with 1.8mch and 1.6 vcore. My ram wont pass orthos though. I havent tried 5-5-5-15 yet. but @ ddr1000 i cant get 4-4-4-10 stable thats why im usuing 1:1

Have you got the new SPD from OCZ?

A 1333 strap should relax the chipset timings and allow higher FSB clocks. Imagine RAM running maybe 300 3-4-4-8 or 250 2-2-2-5.

someone can tell me if is possible to delete all profile that i have made in bios with f6 ?? how i can do it?i want to delete all the profiles.......

Like most I've been having some difficulties getting this board to be orthos blend stable but things have changed for the better. 13hrs stable with the following settings.
1. 6400 Allendale@3255mhz (1.425 in bios, Guru has the voltage at 1.483) beta bios 13
2. MCH/PCI @ 1.90v
3. Corsair 2X1 gig CM2X 1024-6400C4@2.00v timings CAS-5, RAS to CAS-4, RAS precharge-5, tras-15, trc-20
4. Core temp averages between 50c and 60c
CPU cooler Thermaltake mini Typhoon Coolermaster case modded 3-120mm fans.

too bad....I lost the uGuru after installing Windows Vista.....what the....

anybody using this bios version?

I noticed on a the motherboard screen shots the link width is 8x, should it be 16x?

well what i have heard is that when u use 7950gx2 it's 8x...

atm i'm testing this "new" beta bios stability with 360x10 and 1:1 ratio to check it's at least stable with same settings that was with 1.2 bios and i left ram timings to spd in bios at now i got 4-4-4-10-14 but i think it's ok cause it's only at 360mhz speed as these rams should do 4-4-3-14-20 @ 454mhz :)

Noticed 8x on screens of ppl using a 7950GX2. It's 16x for me and my 7900GX2 tho.

is it worth removing the heatpipes and adding some A5 ?

Yes, if you fell like doing it...if it's easy to remov the heatpipe assembly etc., your temps should drop a few Celcius.

:( someone can help me?

and can somebody tell me which temp monitoring program should i trust more, uguru or core temp? when running orthos (with vcore 1.52v) uguru tells me 60-67c depends what test orthos is running and core temp shows 75c and won't change much...when idling uguru shows me 35-39c and core temp 40-44c.

i have same problem, i was told to put +10c at uguru for the real core temp

BIOS 1.2 fixed that for me,

As a 7950GX2 ex-owner, I can confirm it shows 8x will all mobos, not only Abit.

In my case, I verified this on the P5B, DQ6 and DS4. The other 8x half is used inside the card, to link the 2 GPUs.

I tryed the 12,13A,13B and I got curious results.
At FSB 448 with BIOS 12 I got better SuperPI 1M performance (12.451), than the 13A at 458, with same memory timings.
Max FSB with 12: 448Mhz, 13A: 458Mhz, 13B: 451Mhz
Every voltage in bios on max.

This is my highest FSB result:
