Just RMA it, had a similar problem with an old 478 board. Abit kicked up a stink but I didnt back down and they RMA'd it for free. If they want to be cheap skates and put a ton of traces right behind the CPU socket not my problem. (or yours in this case)

Just a heads up..... the Ip35 Pro is getting harder to find in the U.S. Newegg lists only the XE unless you want an open box. MWave still has them, but the rebate has expired. Anyone heard anything about the price of the 45 Pro?
abit sure isn't making it easy for a poor man to build a computer.

the XE is just the latest version of the Pro, I'm sure that they are no longer making the Pro V1.1.

It's been suggested to me (subject to confirmation) that IP45 may appear as soon as this week & IP45 Pro next week.
Preorder prices here have the IP45 Pro only 1 or 2% dearer than the IP35 Pro XE is currently selling at.

that is why i NEVER remove the protective film covering the sticky tape on those 3rd party backplates so you can easily remove them if you want to change cooling solutions.

in the future i will never do this. thx for the advise.

**Ace-a-Rue** · 07-08-2008, 08:09 AM

i remebered one time that i almost did it thinking that i would not try to change out..but..that ugly thought popped into my mind on what you experienced...i was like this close to removing the film covering the sticky tape to attach the back plate...shew!

**chatmaster** · 07-08-2008, 12:35 PM

Whats with this board, first they post the new board on their website then they pull it. Are you trying to go out of business?

Sick of this on again off again attitude, probably get something else in the next fortnight.

**Glow9** · 07-08-2008, 12:50 PM

If this thing doesn't live up to the IP35 pro and surpass or at least match Biostars I'm gonna be a saaad Panda. Is there any new news?

**Ace-a-Rue** · 07-09-2008, 11:17 AM

gary, oh man, that is horrible news...i was hoping in another week!

thanks for the info...i know i can take that to the bank!

**dannyuk32** · 07-10-2008, 04:35 AM

Massive Abit fan and I see this as encouraging in the industry. The board obviously has problems so they won't release it. The way it should be.
And anyone would be brave to buy this thing when it gets released.
Asus and Gigabyte etc. would have had the 3 months of beta testing from hundreds, thousands of geeks. This Abit thing .. a few.

I'll buy the board next year when everyone's beta tested it.

**Ace-a-Rue** · 07-10-2008, 08:22 AM

i can't see it having problems unless the way abit wants to lock the MCHBAR which could cause problems with manipulating the bios...i've seen other P45 boards using PL11 thru 15 to get a workable overclock...normally, abit does not let you have access to that setting...so...that might be part of the problem.

**tarantul** · 07-10-2008, 08:41 AM

seems to be really some problems with this mobo..

anyway where is AbitUK?? say something m8! we are waiting for this mobo.. please, provide us with some offcial information.

**Ace-a-Rue** · 07-10-2008, 08:50 AM

forget it!..he is new...he is not going to stick his neck out any further...to do that might jeopdarize his job.
