@ zeeke, no, water. It is a Swiftech 6002 waterblock from my nf4. Mag 3 and a Coleman cooler. :)

@ zeeke, no, water. It is a Swiftech 6002 waterblock from my nf4. Mag 3 and a Coleman cooler. :)
I made the vmch boost mod, but I got the same 451Mhz FSB, which is only SP1M stable.:shrug:
Must I make the vfsb mod too?
I got nothing from the vfsb mod. But im thinking its my cpu thats causing the glass ceiling. I definately need a newer week cpu soon.
I tried the vmch booster mod and for whatever reason the solder would not bond the wire to one of the points.
On another note i've lost all stability after weeks of being orthos blend stable for hours@3.8ghz. This happened a couple days ago and i went back and tried past bios updates and still couldnt get stable. Then all of a sudden the board wouldnt boot, i had to remove the battery and clear the cmos before it came back on. Once it booted, i ran orthos and it ran 5hours blend at 423fsb. Now its not running orthos again. I think im going to remount my evap and hopefully that'll be it because i really like the board and mine seemed to be one of the better ones.
Before anyone chimes in about this being an orthos thing, i did check with sp2004 and prime. Neither run for very long on my board anymore. Not to mention the fact that dual instances of sp2004 and prime isnt a full load on both cores in task manager.
Edit- There seems to be something with the current crop of stability testing programs. There havent been any updates in a while so its hard to say if its our computers or the programs. Tony and bingo13 have said they are having a hard time with orthos on RD600 also.
@ Lalaboy, the vfsb mod helps my oc considerably.
@ MrDeeds, yes, the solder on the board seems like it takes a high heat. Also I think there is a difference between some boards, slight as it may be. Another thing, I tried to run sp2004 and could not get two instances to run correctly no matter what proceedure was done to meet that end. I just gave up and ran a dual 32m Pi's.
The vfsb mod, as shown here,http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...4&postcount=21 can be done without soldering to your board. Soldering to the ic is to me anyway difficult. It takes heat next to the chip plus my hands are like well fat and rough. Like a ball glove when it comes to this. Use grabbers and solder them to the vr. Just have to watch that they only come in contact with the 4 and 6 legs and something like the graphics card don't come in contact with them causing movement when it is installed. I'll get a pic in a few min.
Edit** I guess they are called micro grabbers. Available at Fry's and maybe Radio Shack. I only have one free right now but you can get the idea. I know these are not new but still may help someone. Can't get thumbs to post, just have to do links.

vfsb readout can be done the same way.

i did the vFSB mod with soldering iron and solder...
i had to use an extra bit of solder but i finally got it to stick.
it took me a LONG time to do it though...
If i make the (Micutzu) Vfsb mod, is enough the simple resistor (100K), or I have to use vario resistor?:confused:
I`m a beginner sorry!:)
you have to use a variable... with a fixed one you wont be able to change the voltage unless you want a fixed
Yeah, grabbers work fine for Vfsb, just a hassle to bend it around the heatpipe for SB.. but if you want to see some serious FSB on this board you have to replace the NB sink and then u might as well change the SB sink as well
Looks like ORTHOS has some issue with this board.
I tried running dual Prime95 (Small FFTs) at 451FSB @ 2.0vMCH and it ran for almost 9 hours without erroring out. Halted the dual Prime95s and ran ORTHOS blend, errored out on the 58th minute. Dang...
welcome to 2 months ago! :)Quote:

it's the board... blend and aw9d don't mix :)
I get no CPU temp. readings. neither in Bios or Uguru in xp.
In Bios it's only N/A. It is enabled.
E6600
XFX 8800gts
2x raptors in raid on intel chip
Bios is 1.3 beta3
I'm watercooled so there is no cpu fan.
I really need help with this
Load omtimized defaults!!!
That did not do nothing , i'm sorry to say. Any other suggestions? It will be preciated.
Hi ,
I need urgent help with Abit AW9D Max. It has locked itself at 6x multi and we couldn't change it whatever we've done...
Cpu is X6800 ES....
I'll be very happy if anyone who knows the way to fix this problem :confused:
URGENT :stick:
what bios you using? 1.1?Quote:

also make sure EIST is disabled

and EIST is disabled also
by the way is there any program that I could change the multi from windows
??
This thread is useless without a real bios update!
You could try pulling the battery then clearing cmos.Quote:

Agreed, but don't hold your breath. Come on ABIT last official bios September 15!!! That's B.S!!Quote:

1.3B is fine.
the sad part about this board is that even a DFI Infinity now is faster than this...
Run 4 dimms and you cant even go 400+ fsb
I dont know why Hipro likes this board at all...
my last abit board anyway :rolleyes:
afther i had the an9 32x fatality , i realy had enough of abit :(
I suppose you cleared bios and then loaded opt/zed defaults.(just checking)Quote:
