Hehe funnily enough I was there last friday night it's only 3 mile away tops. . was paraletic by end of the night, luckily I got chatting to a random blonde in the pizza takeaway & she took me for a ride home in her car kinda crazy really. . hope I see her again she was mega fit lol, Seaway is best chippy down there, been going to same shop over last 20 years. :)

At the moment it's running at default timings (5,5,5,18, 2.1v and 712Mhz).

Ahh your running at auto settings? no problem, was just curious really to see if it would run at spec on the motherboard.

I will eventually play with the ram and I'll keep you posted. And for the record it's in this order for Fish and chip supremacy:
1/ Steels Corner House (Eat in I Know)
2/Ernie Becketts
3/Marklews
All others are by definition, imitation and therefore lame, only serving up substandard food for the masses of visitors in the summer;)
 
Hi i have this pro Board i like it a lot and am happy with it but i am having trouble with the voltage section in the bios! to say the least i am finding it very confusing. so so so many settings..

I have a Q6600 and i am sure with this chip and board i should make a 2.8-3.0 overclock on Air Cooling.

But i cannot find a stable combination of voltages that doesnt lockup within the 1st of hour a prime95 test. All the overclocking guides use terminology that doesn't match that listed in the bios. If anyone has any advice or better yet a screen/picture of a bios with oc set i would love some guidance.

thanks

The setting you need to be upping for cpu voltage one notch at a time between prime runs is cpu core voltage. Select voltages control and then change it to user defined, this gives you control of all the other voltages settings. DDR2 voltage is the setting for your ram voltage. This should operate at the manufacturers recommended figure usually between 1.8---2.3 as an example.
 
thanks, wht chip are you running & at what overclock? tbh the only settings i was changing were cpu core all the way up to 1.5v & DDR2 to 2.2

the rest i thinkered a little with but like i said i wasn't clear wht they actually do.
 
I notice Bony Maloney has the IP35 Pro in an inverted Lian-Li case from piccies above. Are there any issues with overheating in this configuration or any overclocking instabilities?

I have a Lian-Li PC1100 I'd like to use with one but I'm concerned that Abit mobos do not use wicks in their heatpipe design [as read on another forum from an official Abit techie].
 
Update: Just had a load of what sounded like white noise/feedback through all 4 of my speakers, very loud as well!! I did read the other day that there is an issue with X-FI Music, Vista x64 and 4 gig of ram, is there anything else it could be ? I rebooted, went into the bios set my ram timings to GeIL's recommendations and it blue screened. Set back to auto and back in windows. No speaker feedback now. It did just happen out of the blue though made me jump I'll tell thee Lol. (Speakers now set to low).
More white noise from speakers, snagged some modified drivers that are supposed to cure the x64 Vista, 4 gig ram, X-FI combo issues. Managed to get my back up hard drive sorted (forgot to format it lol) Still searching for my floppy drive! Time for bed, will play some more tomorrow.

Bony, i have more or less the same rig and i too had the static with 4gb of ram!

Creatives drivers are worse then useless but a guy called Daniel has som perfectly good working drivers on their site.

I am using them and no static for 3 weeks plus sound great x-fi sound.

I couldnt resolve the issus with the new drivers. x-fi also here with 4gb.

I have ended up going back to xp pro 64bit for the time being and i hate to say it, frame rates seem to be better lol.

Miss vista though. Hope creative get something sorted soon as it was a real problem. I was also having the skype issue with the sound card. It would sound like i was in a helicopter when using the mic in skype. So either i live with xp for now or go back to vista and get another sound card or use the onboard :(
