Good to hear man!
M8, you have the same memory as me... the Cellshock PC2 8000C5? Can you confirm if you can get it to run 1T on the abit. Im have problems getting it to do so. Wont post when I set it to 1T even if I run it at say 533mhz 5-5-5-15 or something. Thats a 2.2v btw.Quote:

abit is going to start posting all beta bios at the link above so check from time to time for new ones.
Heres the read me..
IN9 32X-MAX series:
Beta BIOS M622A_11.B02:
1. Update NVMM to 4.064.1401/13/07 (EPP Memory& 2T timing processing)
2. CMOS default date from 2007
3. BIOS,The issue of EPP mode, changed to profile selectable, not CPU OC % mode.
4. OC,The system hang when setting FSB at Guru
5. BIOS,Suggestion for PCIe clock
6. LDT frequency up to 8X
7. EPP message in SETUP “disable)-> “Detect” (Green) if EPP memory found.
DISCLAIMER:
Universal abit will not be held responsible or liable for any damage made with using a BETA BIOS.
Please proceed with discretion and do not attempt to use unless you know what you are doing!
Thanks Johnny:DQuote:

Johnny i`ve just been checking temps on the board and mine are way cooler than what some of the other guys are reporting. Stuck a temp probe in northbridge heatsink and its never gone above 47c and bios temps within a couple of degrees of that reading. I have a 40mm fan i found on an old 478 board on northbridge no extra cooling on PWM area and none of the heatpipes are more than warm to the touch.
Still getting my head round BIOS, first time on C2D, ssooo many settings:confused:Quote:

Man I just dont get it.. One at a time my RAM modules work fine.. When I put a pair in they dont work. (The other pair seems stable.)
Should I get the Corsair Dominator TWIN2X9136C5D or the Corsair Dominator TWIN2X8888C4DF as replacement RAM if I decide to go that path? The 8888 being almost $400 more expensive here..
Cellshock is not available. :(
Edit: Also, do you guys think I should get an Asus Striker instead or ask for a new Abit board? :D My PWM temps are so high theres gotta be something wrong with it.. (Or the heatpipes atleast, but I'm not really comfortable with modifying it myself, so I'd rather return it for a new one..)
Right I dunno if anyone knows this but the on-board RAID won't work if you disable LAN2 in the BIOS. I've wasted 2 nights trying to setup a RAID and thinking I was an idiot because I couldn't. Very frustrating indeed :(

And fyi, I have disabled LAN2 and I am running 4 HD's all in RAID..
EDIT:
The reason I didnt buy more expensive RAM to begin with was that I didnt think it was necessary seeing as how you can oc the qx6700 without changing the fsb..
Have you run memtest on the pair to see if they are ok? Your temps on the pwm is worrying me. How are you checking it? On the other hand, \/ENDE][A's pwm temp seems fine. I dont know what to believe.Quote:

The PWM temps are from the uguru software that came with the motherboard..
You know, that's as fast as my 975x with only 100 MHz faster on your end...Quote:

You should get a thermal probe or laser thernometer to get a closer reading.Quote:

i dont raid anymore...the speed difference is barely noticable....to me that is
its not bad for a 680i in the superPi department, still playing with the board and memory when i get chance, but i could do with a fast fix for raid errors/problem, apart from that its not a bad boardQuote:

If you have a good history and they really are a decent place to buy stuff from please let me know.
Thanks.
Yes I've purchased from them before, but only once. I bought a MSI 975X Platnium v2 back in August of last year. At the time no one had them & it was on sale for $185 shipped. The other places that got them later on charged $199 & up back then. It shipped same day, packaged well no issues with the board. My order for the IN9 shipped today as well. They've shipped fast twice now. The previous board didn't give me any trouble so I had no need for customer service or warranty. If this board gave me trouble I'd just ebay it or sell in forum minus $75 or so.:)Quote:
