Retail Abit IN9 32X-MAX - Pictures, observations and testing...

[ettis]

Well, it looks like I'm having problem overclocking my QX6700 on this board. When cold booting the comp will only detect 1 of the cores and then it stays there until I reboots it which until recently resulted in all 4 cores being detected and it boots up normally. But now that doesn't work anymore either and only way is to shut down the PSU and push a few times on the power on button. Once in windows though, everything is rock solid...
All voltages are at stock except vdimm at 2.2V
What's going on?

Has anyone else had any problems or success with clocking quad cores on this board. My IN9 is due back from RMA tomorrow, and im picking up a quad core soon. Just debating whether to sell it, and grab either an EVGA or DFI, or stick with it and see how it does.

Do you get the hissing when scrolling too? I get it when the PC is getting stressed even just a tiny bit. i.e. when more power is drawn so I guess it is coming from the PWMs.

I got used to it though.
