with dual core without any problems. With quad its not so simple.

hello again, :D
thats a bit warm for q66 + trux120 but anyway, i had the same problem before, why dont u see in uguru how much amps that your q66 load with that setting, try to run prime small fft, it shouldnt past 116A for load, thats under the 5 stages PWM temps if im not mistaken.. or u can try to back down ur overclock to 8x400 for example to see if the "squeaking" continues

no i had no problem with both prime and orthos, have donwload the latest one?
anyway, when i open uguru, then cpuz, then prime95, my pc would hang on me.. just stop. then i read in other forums regarding this, turns out that you open cpuz first than uguru.. it works for me.
so, when i open uguru first then cpuz, it hangs
when cpuz first than uguru, it works.. iguess some kinda bug within uguru with cpuz.. overall, i had no problems except than one.

Hi I've just upgraded to this board from my rocksolid BadAxe 2, and have to say its buggy as hell, random BSOD with different errors, UGuru won't work I get ConnectServer: WBEM_E_Failed and then it closes, I stress tested the memory and its fine, I'm using the 12 Bios, same issues,
I've Vista Ultimate 64bit & 32bit, and went back down to XP 32bit and I was even getting the BSOD's on the install screens.
My CPU is a QX6700 Rev B3
Memory is 4gb of OCZ Platinum PC-8000
OS Harddrive 150gb Raptor
GPU OCZ 8800GTX
PSU OCZ 850Watt
I had an Audigy 2ZS card in but took it out incase it was causing conflicts but still same issue
Has anyone any ideas on how to get my setup stable? And how to get Uguru to work?
Thanks
Hello guys!
Does anyone have a picture of where the vcore readout point is on the board? I want to measure how much vdroop the board has.
Cheers,
Robert
No, if i was to follow uGuru, the board has no vdoop. 1.50 set in bios shows as 1.50 in uGuru.
not with mine then, i set 1.275v bios, idle windows 1.26v, load 1.25v so only 0.01 droop
hope this helps you

Thanks for the pics bro! But the "retention bracket" of my Zalman 9700 is in the way. Grrr
Has anyone overclocked similar specs to mine and if so at what settings.
Specs:
Intel e8500 3.16ghz
IFX-14 cooler
Abit IX38 QuadGT
4gb Corsair Dominator PC2-8500 1066
Antec Neo power 650 v2.2
Cheers.
Whats up with this place, I posted TWICE in this thread and no bugger replies or tries and helps me...page 44 if anyone can be arsed to look...
@Gamergod: maybe its just your CPU being a bad clocker. My first e6600 was a poor clocker too, needed 1.55V for 3.2ghz.
thanks for the usless posts Klatta and assap!!!!
Seem to have got it running stable I think it was down to a damaged SATA cable connected to the Raptor, seems to be pretty stable now running the QX6700 at 3ghz, but haven't really stress tested her, will report back how far I can take her on Air.
I get a feeling that this board has been abandoned by abit engineers... They left us, IX38 QuadGT users, with latest 12 final BIOS that is still proven buggy in many aspect, especially when handling Penryn processor. And till now, not even a single new BIOS revision has been made. :(
Hey guys,
Any chance someone could check something for me. I have a Vapochill Xe which is supposed to hold the Reset high (same as holding Reset Button) until the temp drops to -5 degrees. However the PC boots straight away.
If you hold the Reset Button and press the Power Button will it boot? I'm not sure if this is something common on Abit Boards?
No probs boys, was just finding it frustrating trying to get the board stable, now it is so I'm in a happier frame of mind, yeah its a pity that Abit aren't bothering with bios updates for this board, it would put me off buying from them again in the future, although I have to say my old IC-7 is still going strong (gave it to my Dad :) ) I had chances to buy Asus and you know the reason why I didn't? Well I didn't like that they have droped the PS2 connection for the mouse! Why you may ask? Well I have two machines running off the one monitor, keyboard and mouse due to space constraints via a DVI switch and really didn't want to have to use two seperate mice.
One question to you guys, every so often I hear one of my Sata harddrives powering off and powering on again after a bit of time, can't see any loose connections anyone have any ideas on this?
Thanks
the mod from abit usa says there might be one coming out next tuesday. I hope it's true. 3 months is a long time. for their latest and highest end board.
