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

[shawn1998]

Funny that it must just be coincidence. for i for one have been expericancing the very problems described by nvidia themselves, wait a min, they al use the same chipsets, surley not..........

Details:
This update is related to SATA disk drives and system instability. System instability is observed in the following ways (not a complete list):

Random application shutdown
Corrupted boot drive
"Blue screen of death"
Corrupt data
This update will improve system stability and prevent future stability issues related to SATA disk drives on those systems requiring this hotfix.

strange that realy.....
hang on a min
http://www.nvidia.com/page/nforce_600i_tech_specs.html
doesnt the evga ect uuse the same specifications, surely not lol
but al jokes aside i do know what you are saying, but honestly they do share exactly the same chipsets ect, and they do have or rather did have until nvidia released a bios update for some boards, that are ref boards, ther same basic shipset is the same, thus stil have the same sata probs.

If you are going to quote the page to prove your point, then quote the entire thing. You strangely left out these specific paragraphs...

Motherboards affected:

EVGA nForce 680i SLI motherboard
BFG nForce 680i SLI motherboard
Biostar TF680i SLI Deluxe
ECS PN2-SLI2+

Description:
Some NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI "Designed by NVIDIA" motherboard customers have reported experiencing disconnect or write error issues with SATA disk drives. To address this, NVIDIA has released a BIOS update for the NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI "Designed by NVIDIA" motherboards that eliminates this bug.

Also, where are all of the rest of the multitude of Abit users with these sata issues? I am truly sorry if you are experiencing issues with sata and raid on your particular motherboard, but that doesn't mean that ALL users with that board have issues. Also, just because EVGA had/has issues, once again, does not prove that Abit has the same issues. You sure like to generalize, jump to conclusions and spread mis-info and provide proof that a different motherboard maker had issues, which somehow proves your (invalid) point.

Now, if you have finished reading the entire statement released by nVidia, you will now hopefully do a little more research into your issue and, again, hopefully provide some different type of "proof" of the alledged sata issues that are afflicting "alot" of Abit users, as you claim.
