Try 1.465v this is just over 1.4v actual after droop etc at load. That would probably be the spot to get it stable. It was for my E6400 to get to 3.4

on the subject of 4G rams
I am using Crucial Ballistix PC6400 1Gx4 @1100MHz 5-5-5-15
DDR2 vol is 2.1v in bios
OS is vista x64
its all good
P.S.
cpu is q6600 @370x9 w/ 1.4625v in bios
welcome to "real" world of overclocking.;)
don't feel bad about 1 of 4 cores not cooperating....that happens to my B3 Quad...always one core won't keep up with three other cores...it comes down to not enough vcore being supplied to all four cores for the overclock you are trying to attain.
Thanks for the replys folks, I am running stable at 3.4Ghz now so I will work on it a bit tomorrow with a little higher Vcore.
hey guys, i cant seem to get the computer to go into windows
the computer goes to bios and everything.. but before it loads the windows screen it just goes bank
whats wrong
new OS install or carried over?
POST codes on the LED?
Overclock & voltages?
I really hope Abit can include a boot menu in the next bios as I usually have at least two different OS installed on diff HDD's and having to go into bios to choose which drive to boot from is a pain
This is the first board I have used in ages that does not have a boot menu :(
you will accommodate to the change; i did!
the hd go carried from a p35 ds3r board, it booted fine few days ago but it just wont boot now
i had it oc'ed before to 3.6 with 1.35 vcore but i would everything back to stock but the same problem
post code stays @ 75 or FF
Well I am sitting on a max oc of 3.52Ghz on my Q6600, I ran Prime95 x 4 last night and it ran for 7 hours without a problem, yeah I know I should have let it go 8 but I wanted to play with it a bit more.
I did manage to run 3d06 at 3.6ghz at 8x450 and Prime95 ran a bit longer but core 1 still fails P95 and Orthos after a few min, I havent gone over 1.46v in the bios yet but I doubt I will worry about it too much untill the chip is broken it a bit more, I am running at 8x425 right now at 3.4ghz and my temps are 38*, 33*, 38*, 33* at idle, so I am a happy camper thus far.
Also I just wanted to say thanks for the great information and suggestions I have gotten from this thread, I was bitten by a bad AB9 board (which is flawless now btw) and I wasnt going to give Abit another chance untill I saw the results from this thread, sure there are other boards that might be a bit better but the price/performance of this board has restored my faith in Abit.
Nelly has kindly provided updates/drivers for some of the utilities. Some questions though:
1) 'JMicron Installation Disk V1.03 for 2000/XP/2003/64bit - 27th June 07'. What is this and how does it differ from; 'JMicron SATA Driver V 1.17.21 for 2000/XP/2003/64bit - 23rd July 07 *NEW*'.
2) 'Realtek 8110SC Gigabit Lan V6.195 Driver for Vista 32bit / Vista 64bit - 20th July 07 *NEW*'. Is this a replacement for the LAN driver on the Abit IP35-Pro bundled CD? It seems to be for a seperate card.
Thanks.
vdroop is really bad with quads on this board, hope a new bios can save it, or else its a great board.
ill try a new install then... thnx
let us know if that cures your problem.
have you tried unplugging, at least, your 12v cpu fan header to see if vdroop is not as bad...there was supposedly a report that if you did not use any of the 12v fan headers the vdroop wasn't as noticeable....when i pull my board out to put in my "G0" Q6600, i will try it....but...that won't happen for about 2-3 weeks.
the problem could have been with this other user's PSU...possibly a problem with delivering sufficient 12v rail power.
Ill give it a shot, also what PCI-E mhz is everyone using, im on 115 with no issues yet....got me a couple of frames boost, not that i needed it.
what is the recommended voltage settings for 540+ MHz FSB??
Please advise, thanks!
Whats the best way to flash the BIOS guys?
Can any1 link me to the latest BIOS?
either with a flash drive, or the oldfashion way via floppy, i still use this method..
hey has anyone firgured out why the hell the Lan ports drop out after coming out of suspend?! its driving me freaking crazy, a reboot fixes the issue. I turned off "let computer turn off device to save power" , installed the latest realtek drivers dated from july. Still no dice
I may just order one of those Rosewill pci-e nic cards..more bandwidth anyway
any ideas on this issue with nic though..
thanks
