    Supertim0r: Are you going to tell the people who make the bios for the xbx2 about the everest reset?

    Did you try any other sets of RAM?

    ZZF has them for 269 and Newegg for 329. (<ouch) Some places have it cheaper than ZZF and I'd check their shipping to see how much that tacks on.

    I am talking about the board with the three year warranty here, not the one year warranty.

    BTW nice reults to the OP. Looks solid.

    I guess you CPU is better than mine, I've only had 3.9GHz up to now. What volts are you using I haven't gone over 1.4v's for the CPU.

    Best Pi so far, playing it safe with the RAM timings.

    The first question was asking if you will inform the product maker of the voltage reset to get them to fix the problem.

    I'm going to be running 3.6GHz 24/7 @ 1.4v. It's been stable for like the last 36 hours, though I've been benching at higher speeds in the time.

    you're using the faster (1066) strap, right?

    and is this PS2 keyboard problem common?

    Has anyone else got the new BIOS(16/11/06)? My idle temps seem to increase by 4 degrees with it?

    ClubIT's are down to $235.00

    http://www.clubit.com/product_detail...temno=A4838942

    But they are out

    Looks like I might ask for this for Christmas over the Abit AW9D-MAX, this or a 680i. Nice clocks and compare Supertim0r, and nice clocks everyone else, I just love watching C2D's fly!

    That is pretty slow pi for 3.8 and such a high FSB. What are your RAM timings? Does the reduced cache make that much difference?

    I highly doubt that reseting the voltage is a BIOS issue.

    Everest is just another program to the operating system.
    Just because it operates incorectly on the BaxAx1/2 does not mean the BIOS of the board is wrong.

    Everest is a program tampering with the voltage.
    After a program terminates, the bios has no responsibilty to set/reset a voltage to any value.

    Do you think when Microsoft word terminates, the bios says "oh gee what voltage should I run at?" No.

    Contact the makers of Everest!

    Gwillakers: If it was an everest problem then the incident of resetting the voltages would not be limited to the bad axe 1 or bad axe 2 board. It may not be but with the data I have now of it mainly happening with these two boards it sounds more like the board makers forgot to shove in a safety to prevent this from happening.
