The PWM temps are under 50° on full load. So everything is fine :D I'm testing my memory now with memset, it's only stable @ 1000Mhz. When I set them @ 1010Mhz, I just get a lot of errors (this mem has promos ic's). So the plan is to buy some decent mem (I was thinking of Crucial Ballistix).Quote:

thats the code i got when my board finally gave out. i am assuming it died due to the crushed PWM MOSFET. do you have an 8 pin CPU connector plugged in or just 4-pin?Quote:

iirc 1 long & 3 short is a keyboard error.
quick bench @ 500 fsb multi 7
I do have sucky mems atm :mad:
I'm still waiting for my micron d9 chips :up:

This is one FAST mobo ;)

Here's my system:

CPU: Intel Core Duo E6700 @ 3.4 GHz 340 x 10
Mem: A-Data PC8000 2 Gb dual channel
Dcard: Geforce 8800 Ultra
PSU: Tagan 900 W
HDD: 3 x Raptor 74 Gb Raid 0
2 x DVD R/W
But if a try to run for example 400 x 8 = 3200 XP won't boot..
So I'm having problems upping the fsb over 350-360 even if running mem in 1:1
Any ideas?
Thanks,

You need to increase the voltage on the motherboard to get higher fsb.Quote:

You have to play with these. Mine we're all on the highest voltage available, but I use adequate cooling. So just increase them a little and you will get higher fsb. ;)
Is it possible to cool the PWM's with a thermalright hr-09 on this mobo when you cut a piece of the hr-09? anyone tried this yet? :D
Anyone here experienced the lower multiplier problem:
http://forum.abit-usa.com/showthread.php?t=124906
When setting the fsb to 400 x 8 (stock multiplier 10x) and rebooting the system once or twice without powering off the fsb is dropped to 266..?

Hi Guys,
Here are some benchs with a Xeon 3220 ES B3 (stable@3600@1.46V)
CPU is under an Apogee GT waterblock (MoRa + DDC1)
Northbridge is watercooled with a Swiftech MCW30
PWMs are cooled with a HR09 (easy to mod, just need to drill a hole), not really efficient :shrug:
CineBench & Spi4M @ 3950 @ 1.60V

5 months with this QuadGT and still not dead :D
Waiting now for IX38-QuadGT
BIOS release V14 for AB9 QuadGT
ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/b...gt/m621e14.zip
1. Support FSB1333 CPUs
2. BIOS compiled date: 06/21/2007
Will it support Q6600 G0?
I'll test it soon, 2 Quads ES coming tommorow :)
Thanks, atleast I know my board will scale just fine for quad cores :DQuote:

Q6600 G0 @3700@1.47V :)
Running 12° less than B3 :)
PWM running 15° less too :)
OC in progress, hoping for 3.9@1.55, as its brothers do! (ES L712A835)
Zodden > What issue with 4 sticks? I do so and i just need to raise Vmch and Vdimm
Well my Vmch is already at 1.60v with good cooling so I don't have much room left there. My Vdimm is 2.2V and so I have some room but it worries me the failure rates with D9 and high Mem voltage.Quote:

I will give it another go when a good DX10 title comes out which probably won't be for another few months. Then I will see what my limits are with 4 sticks in Vista64. I had no problem up to any 3 sticks in any slot but when I added the 4th I could boot into XP and Vista at 500FSB but orthos would crap out after 10 seconds. When I try again I will try 1.70Vmch and go up to 2.30v on the Vdimm. I think OCZ warranties the sticks up to 2.35v. Maybe I will do the volt mod for Vmch too, I'm not sure yet.
Or maybe by then some good OC 2x2GB sticks will be available and cheaper :D The one that is good OC mem 2x2 and selling now is like $650 at the egg lol
My settings for 2*1 Go Crucial PC8000 + 2*512Mo Crucial PC5300
FSB : 400MHz
Ratio : 4:5 -> DDR : 500MHZ
Timings : 4 4 4 12 30 2T
Vdimm : 2.32V
Vmch : 1.45V
Cooling : OCZ RamCooler
I need 0.1V more on Vdimm & Vmch compared to 2 sticks.
With 2*2Go sticks, getting 500MHz c4 is quite impossible :/
/me wants to see screenshots :shocked:
3600@1.40V

More coming soon ;)
Hope you can get over 400 FSB :D Nice results so far.
Yup! 9*411 OCCT 30'
And with previous Quad B3, 451 max FSB.
So it should pass 3800 stable, but 3900 will be hard
Unfortunatelly, this mobo won't do far better, so I'll wait X38 to set 8*488 :D
I'm planning to buy a q6600, so it's nice to see that kentsfields do over 400FSB on this board :)Quote:

Stable aster?? and if so, VERY IMPRESSIVE!! expecially with low clock speeds
