trawling ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/

they appear to have started (or duplicated :rolleyes:) a new Utilities folder - the old 1 being in lower case.

Doh the muppets! lol they seem to make silly mistakes, I usually e-mail them about it if I can be bothered. :)

EDIT: I've just e-mailed the webmaster @ abit taiwan explaining the error, they should fix it within the next few days.

Ok, got the fans working the way I want them to :)

Now, am running a E6400 at stock just now but there seems to be a bit of a conflict with what CPU-Z is showing as the vcore (1.30 idle, 1.29-1.30 under load) and what the BIOS has the vcore set to (should be default 1.325 for a E6400 I think)

Any idea what's causing this?

 
Newer abit mobos on auto will set CPU Vcore according to the individual CPU VID - often nominally the same CPU model will have different values.
Then you have:
Vdrop - difference between BIOS setting & real value
Vdroop - difference between idle & load values

& of course you have the argument about how accurate the sensor readings are anyway ...
 
Having biiiig issues with this thing, just got it delivered this morning.. won't boot up! Stupid thing won't even post, get continuous long beeps from it and the LED is stuck at C1

When I take the ram out I get no beeps at all, but it stays at C1 and does nothing - anyone else had similar?

I have a feeling my CPU has died but I have no way of testing it.

Try with 1 stick of ram, enter bios and set DDR2 voltage to manufacturers recommended voltage. Boot into windows, if this is ok fit the rest of your ram. The default DDR2 voltage for this board is low and struggles with a lot of ram if you don't alter the voltage before booting first time.
 
Wont even get anywhere with any sticks in :(

Each stick in any of the slots just results in continuous long beeps.

EDIT - managed to get the screen to turn on by unplugging the IDE cable and now it says "Bios ROM checksum error" which sounds scary :p

C1 is quite normal for me. i re-installed everything, cleared dust an hour ago, and i also got C1 for the first few trys. just press reset and you'd be fine, i think C1 is to do with graphics card or any other cards, i did have a C1 when first building it, and found out that the graphics card wasn't properly plugged in.

but an hour ago, i don't know why i got C1, although pressing reset button fixed it.

and after C1 error, there's almost always the BIOS checksum error, not scary at all, just re-set everything in the BIOS and you'd be good to go.

i installed a 40mm fan on the PWM, but temperatures didn't seem to change........ damn, all that work for nothing

The Geil is still not in that list ;)

Well, untill someone e-mails me or posts on the various forums that the various sticks boot up at 1.8v they will never get added even though its probally obvious that they do lol, it is possible I've missed a post or two - it's sometimes hard to keep up with 4 or 5 threads etc. :)

Which sticks do you have may I ask. . . ? :)
 
after one week with the abit i must admit this is a rock solid mobo. paired with my Q6600 it literatelly blows away. this is a far better mobo than the p5k series with which i had sata problems and was +50 euro more expensive (ie it offered nothing more). well done abit :D

Nelly it's the Geil 6400C4 800 Mhz Ultra Low Latency. I could only get 2 sticks to boot @ 1.8v. I thought the list was for compatible ram (which this is, all 4 sticks @ 2.1v :)). These are 1Gb sticks BTW.
 
Not sure if this has been covered previously in this threat but a mate of mine has discovered that the superclocked 8800 GT is incompatible with the IP35 Pro. It apparently only runs at 4x speed in the primary PCI-e lane.

Anybody hear of this and if so, are there any work arounds?

Thanks in advance and sorry if already mentioned earlier in thread.
