Not sure for the moment but at least 30' OCCT. So it seems to be :)
All benchs @3900@1.58 but OCCT impossible cause PWM temp raise above 130° :(
Need a mobo with RockSolid VRM!
I'd love a new ABIT, but IX38-QuadGT will have same Numeric VRM :(

yay nice going there aster :up: You should remove the mosfet cooler and remove that tim strip as well. Apply some thermal grease and put it back. Also let a fan blow on your chipset (cause if the chipset gets very hot, the heat goes to the pwm's because of the heatpipe). I did a little mod today:

This is a 50mm fan :)
Sorry for low-quality pics (blame nokia, not me :p)
Greets,

Interesting!
As you can see in previous page, I removed stock heatsink.
The Northbridge is watercooled with a MCW30
PWMs are aircooled with a HR-09 and a 60fan (stock AMD, same as you ;) ), but thermal tape seems to suck!
I should replace it for Artic Ceramic but i have to remove all components and the mobo so... :dammit:
Anyway, this mobo is great Overclocker :up:
Has anyone tryed a E6850 on this board with the new bios out!
Have got a E6850 coming today will let u know!
Board work perfect with new bios using 1333fsb chips! Currently got my E6850 up and running fine!
It's a 50mm fan and it really works veeeeery well! :D btw for all the people who want to change to a P35 board for there quadcore cpu:

521 FSB on P5B-Deluxe (965 Chipset) ! That's INSANE :/ hope i can get 450 fsb on my Q6600 under vapo!
Am using bios version 14! Have just got 1 problem when i lower the multi from 9 to say 8 or 7 board doesnt boot up! Currently testing E6850 on board now at 3.3 on 1.31.25V
You can mod the thermalright hr-09 for this board. But there are other ways to do it :p

My screws are too short (I'm going to get longer one this afternoon), but here is a proof that a 50mm fan fits perfectly:

Greetz,

hmm yes the tuniq tower is one fat :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: lol :p i use vapo on cpu so space ain't a problem :p just bought 3 brand new 50x50x10mm fans (Papst F 512/2) and some longer screws:
2 x 3,5cm screws for northbridge
2 x 2,5cm screws for southbridge
2 x 5cm screws for mosfets
These are the perfect screw sizes :p
For anyone who's wondering what it looks like, here some pictures of the southbridge :D

I used bios version 13 and had now problems lowering the multiplier on my E6600:

But ofcourse you need the bios 14 because of 1333FSB support :rolleyes:
(100th post:toast:)
Do you run into clearance issue with your graphics card on the South Bridge? But then again you have a 7900GS which isn't that long.
A new bios 1.5 is out, I haven't tried it yet
on ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/bios/ab9quadgt/
BIOS release V15 for AB9 QuadGT
Release information:
1. The ICH8R AHCI function now works as intended.
2. BIOS compiled date: 07/25/2007
putting a fan on the PWM's seems to keep the nb much cooler as well. Here it is

Need more quadcore results on this boaaaaard! :shrug: :confused: :(
there is bios 15 allready ,
I've been running my Q6600 on this board for the past week or so at 3.75ghz (417x9). I just picked up a Gigabyte P35 DS3P Friday from NewEgg, so I'll pop that in either tomorrow or Wednesday to see if it's any better at clocking the Q6600.
One tip while running a quadcore: Use an aftermarket NB heatsink. The PWM gets too hot if you keep the stock sink attached to the NB. I have my NB watercooled and the stock heatsink bent like this
