QuadGT Arrived (56k warning)

[[XC] DragonOrta]

This is with 1.65v set in BIOS, which uGuru reads as 1.69v in Windows.

Quadcores get the PWMs much hotter than dualcore. I added my thoughts because Techie said he wanted more quadcore results with the board.

And Techie wants to thank you for that

hmmm, I do have a MCW30, but I dunno about bending the heatpipe there. I wonder if abit will sell you a heatpipe set.

[aster]

Don't bend your heatpipe, get a HR-09

[[XC] DragonOrta]

The stock HR-09 doesn't fit on the QuadGT. Someone drilled a new hole in it or something to get it to fit, but without modding it, it won't.

I've been running my Q6600 on this board for the past week or so at 3.75ghz (417x9). I just picked up a Gigabyte P35 DS3P Friday from NewEgg, so I'll pop that in either tomorrow or Wednesday to see if it's any better at clocking the Q6600.

One tip while running a quadcore: Use an aftermarket NB heatsink. The PWM gets too hot if you keep the stock sink attached to the NB. I have my NB watercooled and the stock heatsink bent like this

Nice duracell battery in the tubing. I'm assuming thats a drain plug?

LOL indeed! Very inventive

Question: How do I get a 1:2 divider on my Ab9QuadGt?

I'm running a Celeron 360 at 6Ghz under phase cooling and I have lots of room to boost the speed of my ram still, but I have not located the 1:2 divider yet (4:5 is there, but too slow for the ram).

[[XC] DragonOrta]

Yep. In my house, dead battery = next drain plug.

[ziddey]

hmm 4:5 is part of the 266 strap already. And you're 133fsb native. That's a tough one. not sure what to say

[Gunlance]

anyone else have any G0 quads on this board?

[aster]

Yes i do
Q6600 G0 ES Stable 30' @3.8@1.53 but Mosfets get too hot :/

[Gunlance]

is that 1.53 in bios or real?

[kenofstephen]

this is how my US$100 ONDA P35D performs....not bad comparing to the QuadGT I would say.....

air-cooled.

[aster]

is that 1.53 in bios or real?

Real of course
It's ~1.60 BIOS (don't remember exactly)
But Vcore isn't stable at this level, fluctuating +-0.02V

[vengance_01]

People with G0 Quads, what vcore do you need for 400x8 and more importantly what are your other voltages set at? I am looking for 3.2GHZ 24/7 setting to keep the heat down, but I am having a hard time getting over 333 FSB. Anyone have any wierd issues with Vista 32bit and a G0 6600 Quad in this board?

[Thanh55]

I got this board but I never get it run over 300MHz, I got the latest BIOS v16, the problem I got is the always hung when I changed more then 2 optuions in BIOS for ex: set ram timming, changed multiply to 6, up v.ram and it will hang when I save and exit. Hmmm, I got the Gygabyte board and I can change e'rything in one and it was fine. Is it mean bad BIOS flash? How do I fix it? Thanks much for your help.

[[XC] DragonOrta]

What do you have MCH voltage set to?

Another thing, whenever my QuadGT would double boot and then not power up after saving BIOS settings, I would just hit the reset button a few times and it would boot up with all the settings that I put saved.

[Thanh55]

Once I lut MCH to 1.5 but still not stable, my case the same but I mean I just change max 2 options in BIOS and do it on the next boot, it's annoying. I got E6700, 2G OCZ TitaniumAlpha1000, water cool CPU, NB. 40mm Fan flow ovwr the PWM.

[[XC] DragonOrta]

Do you have a heatsink on the PWM?

[Thanh55]

Do you have a heatsink on the PWM?

Yes I had with a 40mm fan on top, but e'ry single time I changed some option in BIOS its trun out always freeze ( really freeze) nothing going on unless I reset BIOS. Hmmm I got a bad board then...

[Villainstone]

Hello guys I am now all the sudden having issues hitting 500fsb. I use to be able to 500 with out to much of a hassle. Now that I updated to the latest BIOS (16) 475 seems impossible. I tried all different voltages that I wrote down and logged to help figure this out. I actually think it is the BIOS as the BIOS 13 that I was on ran great at 500 fsb and 1000 ram.

Another thing about this BIOS is that I can boot 450 with at least 1.5 on the MCH and ICH. BUT if I put the NB up to 1.55 I hang during Vista startup. As soon as I lowered the MCH back to 1.5 it is 40 minutes stable using Orthos ATM.

I'm sure that there is at least one user of this mobo who tried to boot with 45nm core2 duo. So please let us know the results.

I would like to know this as well
