I got an aftermarket cooler on my NB with a fan. I tried a MCW30 but the bend from CPU to NB was causing the MCW30 to tweak to the side no matter how I tried to route the tubing so I took it off. I just need to figure out my vcore issue so I can tweak it in a little more.Quote:

Well i tried another videocard out of another machine that i know works, and still no signal on monitor. Im assuming DOA Mobo? Every other component worked on my ip35 pro so im assuming i should return this board?
Have you tried another CPU? If you cannot get it to post, I would say yes it should be returned.Quote:

Will try a 2x2GB OCZ kit now.
By the way anyone can tell me where to find the RAID drivers to load at vista instalation? Try the cd drivers but its saying its no compatible, to search from another ones :( Who have to install it at vista install could tell me wath the correct way/drivers or a link to it? Tya
I didnt even install the drivers in vista, I just loaded raid in bios and started up. never had a slight problem at all.
EDIT: as far as the biostar bios support, they are a joke, this will be my last biostar board I ever purchase they are making no effort at all to mature the bios. just wait KET is working on it my friend.
all of the red jumpbers are set on the top of each row, and i just returned the board and got a new one and still same problem. Would a cpu cause this? My current quad core was sitting in my ip35 pro for 3 months or so and i had di electric grease in the socket could this have hurt it?Quote:

q9550e0
vcore: 1.35
multi: 6x
fsb:460 would fail
.63/.67 and auto respectively
pll 1.6v
ram config4 and 3 tested.
pretty much the same settings as ace's config on page 1...
tpower is ok for quads but alot better for duals, still I've seen 500fsb on quads, keep tweaking.
Well, got the board OB from Newegg for $105...GREAT deal; came with everything and works perfectly. It came with the old BIOS (6/23 IIRC), so I flashed it via DOS while bench testing to make sure it wasn't DOA. This thing is a blast to OC. Coming from an IP35-E is like night and day. More settings than you can shake a stick at. Anyway, I did a little build thread over here if anyone wants to see lots of pictures (roundabout 56k warning). Folding @ 4GHz 24/7 for now until I get a chance to play with it. Here's a SS for your viewing pleasure:

finally booted with 475mhz fsb...woot will test 480mhz tomorrow...
vfsb 1.48v wooot
Still trying to load drivers on vista install and it keep telling me the drivers isnt compatible with my ardware. Tried a lot of versions, anyone with a working f6 Vista 64 drivers using RAID on this mobo??Quote:

isnt f6 for xp?on all my vista 64 installs w/p45s i just set raid in bios and it worked fine,i think if i remember right,but that might be ahci,vista has the drivers alresdy. after install just update themw/intels drivers
bump for ace to seeQuote:

Is that simple? Just continue to the os install and then install the intel raid software?? :confused:Quote:

btw the reason i asked about the nb cooling is the nb sink is actually VERY HOT
i was at 1.6+v vcore approx 1.65
1.25v fsb
1.45 nb
2.4v dram
not to mention my cooler harbor fan had to be removed because the phase mount doesnt fit with the fan installed...
but i was wondering what the hole spaing was for a nb cooler??Quote:

Yeah, this mobo takes a shade more Vfsb and Vnb than I like but hey, it's working with my X3330.Quote:

Everything is setup right but GPU-Z and CPU-Z both show i'm running in 8x out of the possible 16x.. Can anyone help?
i would think you are in the 2-3 position for the 8 red and one black jumper...that puts it into the crossfire position...recheck those jumpers.
Hey Ace-a-Rue I'm picking up a TPower I45 this weekend from micro center with a E8400 EO stepping
