a 965P board that don't support conroe.. Gotta love Abit :p:
ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/bios/ab9/ab910.zip
File is dated of July 11th, don't know if it's newer or not.
I think there is a difference in supporting a retail conroe and a es version.Quote:

Bios "ab910" is the first bios from 06/28/2006!
I think it is the same problem that the P5WDH has (with the first bios)
has nobody the current "beta" bios? :(
Better try to send some email to Abit
i sent them a mail, but they wont give me that :(
:( :(
Ooo, lemme know your results...
no new bios -> no results.... :(
if i dont get a new bios the next days, i give the mainboard back and buy the
Gigabyte (DS3) :slap:
Hmm.
Every stepping besides 6F6 (B2) is supported by the 1.0 bios.
The microcodes are there and up to date (latest revision).
Are you sure about the 6F5 B1 stepping?
Maybe there is some kind of problem with Allendales.
It supports retail Core 2's, i'm pretty sure, but doesn't have bios support for ES's.... ionno, ask a tech at Abit
edit: Spelling
i dont know, but with my E6300 & E6400 (Step5 / B1) it wont boot :(
seriously, talk to the tech's, i'm sure they can give u an ETA on ES supportQuote:

I'm going to buy a 965(no money for 975) so i would like to see some testing,since i dont know i think i'll go buy a Gigabyte ds4:p:
Or just this be a really crappy board so they dont want to show the results!:slapass:
It got a Pentium D to 4.7 GHz... that doesn't test the FSB, but that means it has a damn good power system...Quote:

Thats exactly what happened with my ES E6600 and DFI Infinity 975X/G
No post.............NOTHING.............Grrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrr
I hope you have more luck than I Chri$ch
I spent two days using an 820D trying to fix the problem with no luck, I thought it was the CPU so sent it for testing and it works fine
Two weeks of my life wasted :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

AnandTech received a new beta bios today. They should have results up shortly. :D
yeah and in the meantime there are clients out there with boards that doint work and yet they put C2D on the box ? (or did they NOT do that)
asus and abit, are they related ?
I tested Abit AB9 today..bios I think 06/28 2006
Not worked with 6600ES step5..
C2D retail, doesn't mean it supports ES.Quote:

What about maximum fsb can reach Abit AB9 PRO with this new beta bios?
Anyone knows??
Thank you
so am i right in thinking this board is not conroe compatable out of the box? and is your ab9 the pro or normal version?
Hmm i was thinking of this board for a E6400 ES A1, maybe thats a bad idea, or do you think it will work?
BTW should i go for the C2D ES or should i wait a bit and get a retail version?
The only problem was with the engineering samples. It will support retail C2D's out of the box.Quote:
