Hi, I know just as much as you i.e. I dont know.

Mentioned in another thread, by the time the Abit X48-Max is released the only people who will probally want them is people with review boards Abit have left it far to late to make it worthwhile purchasing because everyone has bought X48 boards from either Asus, DFI, MSI, Gigabyte etc, it's usually DFI who are slow as hell at releasing motherboards yet they managed to release the X48 boards as quick as Asus usually do.

The Abit P45 chipset boards should be in June, I really want the Abit IP45 GT3 if it's not in stock by July 1st, I will buy an alternative P45 motherboard from another manufacturer - end of story.

I can't stand Asus due to pathetic RMA service, but I might risk it & go for the Asus P5Q3 Deluxe.

abit needs to gitty-up and go

asus is also pricey...two ways to stick it to you!

[strange|ife]

my p35 been running strong, good to see other's are also.

who plans to pick up the abit p45? The NB HS is kinda of wacky, but i think it will be a killer platform if your to cheap for x48

just need to put those DDR3's on credit card

[Ace-a-Rue]

depends for me...i need to look at it to see if i have any love left to sink more dollars into another board...i think abit has missed the boat on this release date.

You're referring to the x48 release right? If so i agree, the lack of an x48 board is disappointing.

[Ace-a-Rue]

yes, 48 but i also would of loved to see the 45 too....choices are FUN!

There's new 17.04 BIOS knocking around.

It's meant to improve Q9*50 compatability. I'll not get the chance to test it til tomorrow.

Ace-a-Rue> Saw you used MemSet with your Abit IP35 Pro a few pages back. How? I've got MCHBAR locked...

Loved using MemSet when I had a Gigabyte P35 DS4 and would be nice to be able to use with my Abit board too.

Well I definitely think the 17 betas have helped with the 45nm quad clocking. With 16 I could boot all the way to 458fsb, but couldn't get anything above 449 stable. Last night I think I got 450 stable with WAY lower voltages than with 16 and p95 went for 3.5 hours straight while i streamed video to the 360. Then I stopped p95 and it folded all night and was still looking good this morning!

Just read this on the Official Abit European forums regarding the ABIT IX48-MAX DDR3 Motherboard. http://forums.hexus.net/abit-care-hexus/

I have been informed that we will ship to distribution in the next 10 days.

The BIOS will be worth the wait

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm...what to do!

any one think these would work better than the PWM heatsink http://www.chilledpc.co.uk/shop/prod...roducts_id=578

Hey guys,

I know I don't post much here on XS, but for anyone that does not know me. I run a QX9650 on my IP35pro and use it for LN2 benching.

I've been given on loan a QX9770 and I'm having some funny issues.
Getting it to post has been a hell of a time.
I did get it to after an hour of trying, even went cold!

This is what I found in the bios.



Has anyone here used a QX9770 on this board, or knows of someone I can PM.
I've changed the above to 400X8, and I'm installing windoz now. But I can't seem to use anything other than 8. Do note, this has been 100% fine with the QX9650.

[jamieuk23]

Please help me !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With regards to the bolt mod from ACE do you need to buy some type of Nuts for the screws listed #4-40 X 3/4" (or, 1/2" #4-40)" ??

The reason I ask is the guide only mentions about bolts and washers so I am unsure how you are meant to tighten it - are the holes threaded and you just screw them in ?

Just need to no so I can order the screws

can someone please help me...I have had this board running well for about 5 months now, but I wanted to change a few things. I have always had it running 400x9, but wanted to up the ante. I wanted to run 500x8, but the computer will not start at all. If I change it to 450x8 it will not start either. It is like the board is not recognizing my change to the 8 multiplier. Even when I can get it running on lets say 300x8, CPUz will still say that it is running 300x9. I am running bios rev 16.

Thanks!

As you are running a quad (Q6600) it will be hit or miss to having it run stable over 440FSB. Thats not the board, it's the CPU.
Quads do not like high FSB. So you will be better off trying for 444X9 if you want 4Ghz

[Deanzo]

One other thing I need to ask, has anyone tried one of the two beta 17 bios with a QX9650 ?

I'd like to know if all multipliers can be used, I'm still using 16beta03 as it's one of the two 16's that work. It would save me time if someone here has already tried it.

Hello guys....
I'm new on this forum,and i had just join Abit Ip35 Pro club
The board is really good,but there are a few things that are bothering me....

1-The Power Supply Fan is really Noisy!!!! When is at bios and before windows starts its normal.....but when Windows starts,power supply begin to make a really loud noise......
Actually i dont think is the system temperature,cause now the board is at 29 degrees and CPU is at 40......any idea??

2-Why the CPU temp variates so much??? in one second is 50,and one second later is 30.....is it a bug????
Thnaks guys,ill enjoy your help!

EDITo you guys turn on FanEQ? or disable it??? im using watercooler here

You need to post your system components.

[DarkDisciple]

Corsair 4GB XMS2 DHX DDR2 PC2-6400 (2x2GB) CAS5
Is listed as being compatible with this board on page 1.

What about the CAS4 Version of the same module?
TWIN2X4096-6400C4DHX

Neither module is listed on the abit website. Will it work fine? Will I get the appropriate latency?

[kotty]

You need to post your system components.

Core2Duo E6400
abit ip35 pro
4x1gb crucial tracer 8500
seventeam 620w power supply
2x3870 crossfire

[davewolfs]

How well does this board work with 8gb of RAM? Any recommendations for Ram in this type of configuration?

Also, will the latest boards being sold boot a Q9450 or E8400? Or do I need some sort of older backup chip?
