im not sure where the DS3 awitch to 1333 strap, some boards do after 400 some a lot less , boot at 333 but increase Vcore in bios like if u were doing 450fsb understand? then use setfsb or clockgen to raise fsb in windowsQuote:

which choice in clockgen should i use for the ds3? i'm thinking the same as the dq6, but not sureQuote:

@burn what?: :nono:, the strap is ONLY related to BOOT (in BIOS) FSB, nothing else (i.e. dividers, multipliers, frequencies, changing frequency in Windows).
So just raise the FSB in Windows (ClockGen isn't working, are You sure? check in CPU-Z), maybe using SetFSB (personally I prefer this). And I'm not sure if this mobo is capable of 440 FSB with 1066 strap, be sure to pump some V to NB in BIOS before doing this test.
@Ajfina: really nice, on Commando I must give 2,025V (max, didn't try lower, but I can't set 510, and my CPU and RAM is capable of this FSB for sure - so it is the NB fault) and far from stock cooling to achieve 500+ @ 1066, not fully stable in any way.

ok, i gotcha. i'll try setfsb cause clockgen i hit apply and it thinks for a second then disappears. i really don't know the exact ds3 pll to choose so maybe that's why. i guess i can just use the gigabyte easytune then instead of clockgen or setfsb cause it does the same thing, raise fsb in software. i'll set 44412 timings, boot at stock, then raise.Quote:

:)i know, i thought about that, but i saw strap talk and took the chance to bone up on that from you guys, which i really appriciate. consider me kicked out of the thread!!:)Quote:

that was fixed weeks ago in the 3.038 version.Quote:

I only trust my Multimeter :)
anyone using Vista as an OS on the QuadGT?
That's what I want to know also. I have been wanting to test mine to find out the true voltage.Quote:

I'm gonna download the manual and see what features it's got. All I want before I buy it are some BIOS updates so the fsb will go past 525.Quote:

I saw the latest BIOS was for feb 1. Any body using it yet? I've also heard there are RAID issues with this board, can anybody confirm this?

No possible to flash...
I use the bios M621E_11.B02 but I have the message : binary file is not Award Bios :/
An idea ? It's because I have bios B03 ?
http://users.skynet.be/fb331210/abitbios4.jpg
I use awdflash M621E_11.B02 /py /sn /cd /cp /cc
You can read vdimm on the underside of the board from the leg of the square coil by the dimm slots in the corner..
What i am wondering is about vcore read, i dont know how to find it on the digital pwm ciruit... i just got my board in so im looking it over right now.
Edit - looking closer, it looks like there is a coil next to the otes connector by the 12v connector that will read vcore.
I also want to note that this is one of the more solid power designs i have seen yet - i am no expert, but this thing just looks quality, all really quality parts and more beefy then what i have seen on my P5B-D. I wonder why this isnt under the abit MAX brand name.
CHANGE THE (DOT)"B02" TO (DOT)"BIN" FILE OR THE APPROPRIATE FILE ASSOCIATION THAT ABIT USES FOR THE STANDARD BIOS FILES...OTHER POSSIBILITY IS (DOT)"ROM"
