mine does everything that doesnt do for you :) to tell the truth this is the most stable board i ever own after the BX2 i even found this one to be more stable than the BX2 (and they still working on tunning) so watch out later on this coming monthsQuote:

well, I think its the most crappy, and unstable board i've ever had inside my case. Just returned it! I guess it wasnt compatible with my Corsair pc8500 memory. But I don't have time to wait for Abit to put their acts together, and release the first bios in 3 month since the initial release. Its pretty low! The Chineese New Year isnt an excuse!
nice just setup quadgt last nightQuote:

It's luck of the draw isn't it. You look at the various results and feedback for a lot of these boards, and it's pretty hard to generalise. You either get a good one or you don't.
Personally the Quad Gt has been a surprisingly good board for me. A pretty solid performer. More so than my commando.
That said will be going for a QX6700 + Raid+ Vista 64 combo next week, so will see how I feel about the Quad Gt then. Hopefully I'm lucky.

Nice job I hope so much to get in My mother country.
Whoa, people are complaing about the vdrops of the abit quad gt board now. As soon as i got it for a month ago the first thing i noticed was that the vdrop was about 0.02v to about 1.5- maybe 1.6 vcore. Then like someone already said earlier it just drops insanelie(sp). I dont remember but i think that when i selected 1.7 in bios it showed 1.62 or 1.65. it was just a short test but this board undervolts quite bad at the higher values or when its stressed.
You might have skipped over my "low voltage" orthos small FFT.Quote:

I guess the corsair isnt half bad, if you have 30+c ambients during your testing :)

Hmmmmm, i've been able to run @ 3.26GHz stable with the stock cooler, anything much more and the CPU craps out since it's running at 70degrees+. Anyway, i got a replacement waterblock today and sitting a nice 40degrees under Orthos but it won't go past around 3.55GHz (1.45 volts) stable but i think i might have found the reason. The PWM heat sensors are all reporting 90 degrees+. Not good, not good at all.
Anyone noticed if replacing the stock paste / frag tape has much affect on the temps? I'm going to have to do something about it.
the same day i got the board i replaced the stock cooling for zalman thermal paste , i was going to put AS instead of thermal paste but i was afraid of the AS spreading around to much and create damage. my temps are below 50 at 3.6Quote:

Excellent, i'll give it a go. Finger tip test suggests the thermal transfer isn't too bad at the moment but still... i didn't loose any skin so obviously the heat isn't transfering well enough. I'll have a look at the weekend, i need to rip out the motherboard while i mess about with the watercooling anyway.Quote:

Eva2000 how u like the board so far? As far as disappearing Lan and Audio, don't use onboard stuff. Problems solved. Besides using onboard stuff takes up cpu cycles. With regards to bios not taking some of the changes, I had to do it twice before the bios would take my fsb changes but otherwise fine. Overclocking uguru is fine, just dont change any volts using uguru.

on the other hand, this is just 123w compared to your 187w!

Eva,
How's this board do with 4 sticks of 1GB ram? I am thinking about building another rig around an E6320(when they are out) and a solid 965 board. I'd like 3.5-3.6 on air. So I'll need a board that can handle 500-515FSB.

looked at your thread on i4memory: although its hard to say if the additional tim between the pwm chips and the stock tim made a difference, i'm pretty sure the 120mm fan blowing to that area changed a lot! i'm using a 40mm fan and even this one is a big improvement!Quote:

@eva2000
nice u got the board now i know that some of my questions will be answered :)
well i mostly like to know how do the clocks compare to the P5Bdlx at same load voltage, and also the temperature...asking since my cpu on my friends mobo (P5W DH) can actualy run a little higher at same voltage and bit cooler also and was it the Bad Axe that run the cpus a bit cooler than the Asus at same voltages?+
edit: I see that you got the HR-05 also......I had an idea of getting it and cutting up the base paraler to the heta pipe to make it slimer and stick it on the pwm when i get it.....basicly only leaving it a little wider than the heat pipe, can you tell me if the lenght would be alright
4 sticks seemed to work i mixed some g skills and cellshocks didnt notice a diff till my memory didnt want to go more then 3.3.3. 430 then i was like 4 Sticks duh
never got to install HR-05 so not sure... i wouldn't risk shorting the pwm and surrounding components.. just be careful if you hack up a heatsink.Quote:
Originally Posted by Millyons

Originally Posted by Millyons

because i'm cooling my nb with water i had to remove the whole heatpipe assembly. after a few minutes of hesitation i just cut it apart and istalled the pwm heatsink alone together with a fan. running it without the fan, temps reached 100c within minutes. the small 40mm fan is able to keep temps below 70c when the cpu draws a current of 83a! if the 40mm fan is able to reduce temps by 30c under that conditions, what do you think would a 120mm fan do? look at eva's figures ...

you are right, i thought the same way! but as experience showed it is simply not necessary. a fan blowing at the stock pwm heatsink will work perfect!Quote:

for all people that have 2 x 1gb ddr2 cellshock pc 8000 4-4-4-12 on abit quad gt.... can post your ram setting that used in bios? cas etc??
i'm having a lot of problems with 4\5.. and i can't pass 540 mhz 4-4-4-12....
umm thats the max on the mobo m8 sry but you have hit the wall =/ very sad but true maybe a new bios will fix it but 540 is most likely your max mine was like 56x =/
do you mean that there is a wall around 540 mhz-550 mhz at the moment for the max mem frequency?Quote:

From what I can see Abit AB9 QuadGT having a 550-580mhz ceiling on max memory clocks depending on the memory modules is probably due to fact that default tRRD and tRTP are way too tight. If Abit adds all the sub timing options I proposed at http://i4memory.com/showpost.php?p=60109&postcount=6 then you probably be able to tweak the sub timings for tRRD and tRTP to allow a higher memory clock.Quote:

More vdimm voltage will allow some modules to handle such tighter subtimings at higher clocks. So you may find same memory will need more vdimm to clock the same on Abit AB9 QuadGT as on Asus P5B Deluxe.
Hence, how high you can clock memory on Abit AB9 QuadGT would depend on how well your memory modules handle tRRD of 5 and tRTP of 7 on Abit AB9 QuadGT.
how you o/c in win...is the guru only utility for now?
what about clockgen or setfsb?

can you use memset to gain any improvement? Or is it not supported?
eva2000
so do you test quad or not,how much is max fsb
No Q6600 tests yet will be a while before i get around to that have other tests/cpu/ram to do first

And one more question.Today I speak with my friend that is claming that with QUADGT he need 1.53v for 3.6GHz at E6600 and with P5B DLX onley 1.48V is this true that abit need more juice.
Sory for my englis!

Abit AB9 QuadGT = 1.475v bios set = 1.39v under load
QuadGT does need a bit more vcore probably due to P5B Deluxe 8 phase vs AB9 QuadGT 5 phase design.

Don't blame the board because you are to impatient to learn anything about it. No two boards are alike and you shouldn't expect them to be. This clocks differently then P5B with different timings and different voltages. Don't go ragging on the product because you are too dumb to use it.

The board works fine, you just are too impatient. Most users that buy a product figure out how to use it before they send it back, even non XS people. The problem is you assume the issue is with the board and not yourself.
I dont think in all my years of building computers i have had a motherbaord exactly perfect right out of the box. Except perhaps my IC7-G. I always have to play with the options before everything works right...

well, when I switched from OS to bios, the keyboard wasn't present, when I wanted to update the bios from a boot floppy. And if turned it back to OS, it just restarted, both on floppy(DOS) and vista.Quote:

I finally updated the bios to beta 02, and now I was able to use my USB keyboard.
I then started installing Vista, but it just hangs around during install, and doesn't go any further.
I then got the latest beta 06 bios, and updated the board. And now I was able to install Vista on my Quad Core QX6700. Everything went smoothly during install. And after installing various drivers and stuff like uGuru, I went for some basic OCing( that includes raising vcore and voltage on NB etc also ). During my way up to FSB400, at around FSB366 everthing seemed stabled. Ran a couple of Orthos to stress my QX6700 cores , and wow, what nice temps and stability I had. Fired up CPU-Z for some routine checking, and to my surprise the multiplier was set to 6x. I then rushed into bios and disabled all power related stuff. Went back into Vista, ran orthos, checked the multiplier in CPU-Z, and it was still on 6x.
The 6x multiplier was fixed no matter what I did, as soon as I raised the FSB speed. At standard settings there was no problems at all. By the way, I just come to think about, that I noticed the PWMs where around 85C and raised well beyon 100C when the CPU was under load. But uGuru didn't give me any warnings, so I didn't bother at the time, had other things to bother about, anyone ???
Please don't call me impatient again!!
humm thats odd i used the bios it shipped for a long time on a saiteik keyboard without ever having a problem
uGuru may not have been set up correctly for it to give you warnings. I had to set it at 120c and when one of the PWMs did go over 120, it promptly gave me a warning. Of course you will have to keep an eye on your screen to monitor the temps. It turned RED! So you will have to play with it like all softwares and hardwares. Also why not flash your bios in windows? Its so convenient. When everything is said and done, just flip the switch at the back and you're all good to go.Quote:

I know this has been posted before, but haven't a clue where.
Have my QX6700 installed.
Running 11x300. all features disabled except Ex Bit.
Ran the modded prime and noticed that 2 of the cores had hit test 6, where as the other 2 were still on test 3.
Then ran cpu-z with the -core parameter, and it seems two of my cores aren't overclocking.
Can't remember, but was there a solution to this problem. Is it the fact I am using an 11 multiplier?
I believe I am running the latest beta bios. Have USB, raid and ide all working as they should.
Thanks for any help.

I remember reading that there's a problem with vista possibly overriding c1e/eist settings, so you need to fiddle with power settings possibly. If rmclock works, you could always force itQuote:
