Sicness, what Cpu and ram does your friend that hit 400fsb have? It's worth knowing just so we can see if there are any further issues with other equipment...

I'm currently seaching options for better cooling without going water. The 1.85v mch on my P5W DH is not doing me alot of good because of cooling. I think someone noted that Asus said it was not recommended to use that much voltage without improved cooling to the northbridge. I can't imagine how the abit board can handle the 2.0v available with just passive cooling. When I find something suitable for both the AW9D-Max & P5W DH I'll let you know. My concern right now though is bit-techs statement:Quote:

We were told by Abit that there are some kinks in the BIOS that makes the board a little fussy at times when overclocking. We are hoping that these are fixed before the board reaches retail, because 450-460MHz+ FSB on an unmodded 975X motherboard is pretty impressive
Why :)Quote:

The pc freezes & when I touch the heatsink over the north bridge its very hot. Eva got his board stable above 450 FSB after changing the thermal paste and such. I figure if I remove it, I may as well replace it with something better. None of this is necessary I'm sure, if you just want 400FSB or so. But I wan't every bit of FSB I can get, therefore better cooling is necessary. Thats why.Quote:

Like I said if I remove the heat pipe system, I'm gonna replace it rather than just reseat with AS5. I have Zalman V900's on my video cards so adding something like swiftechs mcx 159-cu shouldn't be any louder.Quote:

More results should come in later today ...
vowkilmer: Since I seem to have a dud and Turrican has a proper AW9D-Max that let's him connect his EPS 8pin and run 1:1, I'd recommend the AW9D-Max right away. I'll get a new one myself.
what CPU does he have to hit 400fsb, is it 2mb cache or 4mb?
He said that he had 3,6GHz when using 400MHz FSB, so it must be a 9x multi ... prolly a 6600 :)Quote:

Tony is correct, we need 1333 strap in bios. They can be pushed a little but no where near enough.
We also need upward multi's on the X6800
You don't hit 370? Welcome to the dud club. I just ordered a new AW9D-Max and will return this april fools board with it's funny connector next week.Quote:

BTW, Good to see 400 1:1 @1,6vmch from other users, not really impressive if you ask me... I still want +470 from this board, until that, its useless ( a board with 2v option from stock should do that at least )
That was a quick test he did after return from work at 11PM. I hope I'll get a board with a proper connector tomorrow, there should be other user's results soon too.Quote:

.....well.....after some mods I can boot up to 413MHz fsb and 1:1 CPU:Ram.....It accualy did well with the Micron Fatbodies chips with VERY tight timmings as well......No?.....:)

3D benchable at the SAME timings @ 410MHz....:)
.
Hipro5 already modded his board - lol :D
412MHz 3-2-2-1 is a very nice score! :slobber:
...412.8MHz = 413MHz.....don't steal me 1MHz......:DQuote:

VMCH, VFSB and some capacitors for the time been....:)Quote:

Oh, so, max in bios, how much it is for real ? 1,91v for 413 1:1... :nono: Any P5W with 1,9 can do over 440 1:1 if im not wrong.... Well, keep praying for newer and better results like we were hoping...
