Hmmm, do ya think something changed in the last 13 minutes?

Give Abit a little time for some bios updates and the board will be fine...

**NicoOCZ** · 09-14-2006, 01:46 PM

We'll have infos about a second AW9D-Max soon, Turrican is setting his stuff up and should report back in about 20 mins.

it's too soon to know if this is a 1-off, a batch error or w.h.y.

LOL Me too, but there is something called: Quality Control. It seems that Abit dont has one...

**NicoOCZ** · 09-14-2006, 02:21 PM

Ok guys, Turrican has his setup running. He has a proper 8 pin 12V connector on his board that works fine with his Enermax Galaxy 1000W PSU. Pics here.

And some 3DMark06 run of mine:

Tweak it a bit more ... 10k is sooooo near

It's just penismarks but,

, why not

**situman** · 09-14-2006, 02:29 PM

So does he have the 1:1 issue that you did? What's his FSB?

if you make enough of anything you will always get something slipping through, it's the nature of the beast.
Of course if you want to pay 2x as much for increased inspection ...

**NicoOCZ** · 09-14-2006, 03:07 PM

Update from Turrican:

- 1:1 runs fine for him (using Corsair sticks)
- Just tested FSB 400 1:1 for a quick 3DMark run, worked fine with MCH 1,6V
- Again, his connector is correct

So, he pretty much has none of the problems I faced. Guess we'll see more results tomorrow

Ich habe einfach mal 350FSB eingestellt und den 1:1 Teiler sowie den darÃ¼ber, funktioniert einwandfrei bei mir.

FÃ¼r 400FSB (=3.6GHz) muss ich die MCH etwas anheben, mit standardmÃ¤ÃŸigen 1.5 komme ich nicht in Windows, mit 1.60 ist es zumindest mal 3DMark06 stabil (ausfÃ¼hrlicher nicht getestet). Auch da funktionieren die Teiler. PSB habe ich einfach auf 1066 gestellt.

Bisher bin ich positiv vom Board Ã¼berrascht worden. Alleine schon das ungewohnte nicht-Abschalten beim Restart ist so herrlich ungewohnt als P5W User. :bigok:

Ich muss jetzt aber ins Bett, mir fallen echt die Augen zu. Sorry, dass ich nicht viel testen konnte.

Translated :

* 350MHz works with 1:1 divider

* 400MHz needs +0.1V on MCH, divider work here too (3DMark06 stable)

* He's positively surprised, the Board doesn't power off when resetting like his P5W

* That's it for Today

EDIT - damn, too slow

**fhpchris** · 09-14-2006, 03:24 PM

Yay, another 975 board worth getting!

**Sanborn** · 09-14-2006, 03:45 PM

Sicness got a dud

That's what I want to hear. No more worries about the board killing my other hardwares due to constant power downs. My harddrives and waterpumps will live a little longer. Looks like its OCZ ram compatibility issue SO FAR. Nothing confirmed yet. Lets see what other users say.

You're most welcome! Good luck with yours

I'm considering ordering a new one and sending my dud back. I could easily live without the 1:1 divider for now, but this EPS connector thing really freaks me out.

Considering 1:1 266 FSB is suppose to be a standard, you would be entitled to a r.m.a. I would suggest you visit a loca retail store and purchase some additional ram in order to rule out ram incompatabilty before requesting r.m.a. If you are unable to use the ram with the board you could simply return the ram for a refund. If it works then you would have proven incompatabilty.

The RAM works fine with any other divider, just not 1:1. There's no local retailer within a ~30KM radius

**vowkilmer** · 09-14-2006, 04:56 PM

Sicness sorry to hear about the possible bad board.

I still have every intention on grabbing this board once it becomes available again.

Is there any other reason why you wouldnt recommend this board, since you are one of the
first to get your hands on it and all.

**dragonhunter** · 09-14-2006, 05:19 PM

Sicness,
Does this board have cold boot like the P5W (power down the hardwares completely when exit the Bios or reboot with high FSB, >390fsb? This is very important to me, pls confirm. Thank you!!!!
