Whats the chance ABIT would give us 3.6 vddr and 1.8 vtt this is if it is possible with a bios update if not could you give us technical data on how to mod vddr and vtt safely. Obviously we would use these settings at our own risk and not expect warranty but it would be nice to have it seeing as how its such a nice board this is only thing missing needed to take back the overclock crown.
sincerely a fatality an8 owner
I really like the idea of the AN8, and the Fatal1ty is possibly the best looking motherboard I've ever seen, but I wont be buying one in it's current state.
At this time, I'm looking at either the DFI or possibly waiting for ATi's chipset to hit the market. But if the AN8 was more capable when it comes to voltages I would almost certainly get one.
That's my two cents.
3.6vdimm would be awesome on this motherboard... then it would really rival the DFI. 2.8v is really not enough...
Great board, but the name Fatality is starting to annoy me. Nothing special that sets it apart. I've never heard or seen teh guy until Abit named some of their boards after him. I was hoping for a special board that can overclock like hell. Instead we got some corny, cheesy, gay name on a good board, not great, but good board. I can see why Oskar Wu and some engineers left, its so dull making boards that run limits overclocking. The last great overclocking board (IC7) will always be my favorite. Maybe if they cut down on the stupid name marketing, they can put some money into making the boards that are better than ECS.

I am definately looking at this board for my next one, looking being the operative word, the 2.8 vdimm is way too low as I was wanting OCZ VX for my next RAM, please give me a higher voltage mod!! The DFI is looking good for being able to go high without modding the board, but I would prefer the Abit for looks and stability. Help us out Abit!!
Will there be AN8 *tictac Edition*?

my BH-5 performs best with 3,9 so if there is an improvement possible just go straight for 4 volts like DFI.........

I'd like AN8 Fatal1ty to be my next mobo as soon as it becomes available in Greece.My only complain is the low vdimm which could easily be at least 3.2v for a descend performance.
Think about high rated ram (ocz) that needs 2.9v to work within its specifications and i have to work with 2.8v.Can i expect the performance those dimms are made for or i invested money for them for no reason?I think Abit should consider about this a lot and offer us a solution.

Abit hasn't listened to us since the IC7 days and even then we got a non functioning 3.2vdimm.

word. i'll take the risk with DFI and then get ATI if it turns out to be better. O crap just remembered, gotta wait for the G5 to arrive from Cathar before I redo my watercooling loop. I guess when the time comes, it will be between ATI and DFI.

how much vdimm is on the dfi boards?
4.0v depending on bios

Intel i7 2500K Corsair H100
PNY GTX 470 SLi (700 / 1400 / 1731 / 950mv)

Kingston HyperX PC3-10700 (4x4096MB)(9-9-9-28 @ 1600mhz @ 1.5v)
Heatware: 13-0-0
can all ram withstand that voltage?
No but bh5/6 chips can run 24/7 at 3.3v
yeah, Winbond UTT chips is pretty much all that love volts.
Another question, are their still Abit reps on the site? Abit Marketing hasn't posted in a long time, just wondered if another rep was hanging around

Inasmuch as I want that AN8 board badly, but that 2.8V Vdimm didn't cut it. I will also wait and see what ATI Bullhead will do. So far, I have DFI, ATI on my short list, except if Abit can just give something like 3.6V Vdimm, then I'll jump all over it with no question ask. It's unfortunate though that the board have limited Vdimm options.

their board can overclock pretty darn good, i saw it up at 350htt
yep and ive had it to 385 htt stable however i have bh5 and I did not want to buy new memory as i am more than happy with my bh5 however i cant run at ddr500 with it with 2.8v so I had to order some tccd for the meantime till A. abit gets with program or B. i have the guts to do the volt mod.
i just email them with higher Voltage request..
Waiting for reply now...
hope you have better luck i emailed them 4 days ago no reply except this yet.i just email them with higher Voltage request..
Waiting for reply now...
Dear ABIT customer,
Many thanks for mailing us and the mail had been under processing now.
We will answer back ASAP and if possible, please email us with identifiable title as below.
their an8 board would be such a KILLER with more volt.....
Normally when I email Abit I have an answer in about 6-8 buisness days...
