Re: **Official ABIT IX38 QuadGT Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**

Some IX38 questions. Grateful to recieve answers a month later, hence putting in this thread
  1. Not using a CPU fan
    Watercooled, so I'd rather not plug a 120mm case fan in to stop the alarm as I am curently doing. The only option I could see in the bios that might affect this was an overall cpu protection warning system*, that only had an on/off. I'd rather not fiddle and turn off the "if it gets over 65°, shut down" type protection.

  2. Uguru administrator error on XP64 sorted yet? [might need a new forum post]
    Best result on a protracted internet search was this thread:
    Abit EQ Error
    Code:
    http://forums.hexus.net/abit-care-hexus/131816-abit-eq-error.html
    
    Of course, the link to the abit forums given right at the end of the thread no longer works.
    I wanted to use this software for the next question's reason...

  3. What are people using to test CPU temperature, and adjust fan speed on the IX38?
    I didnt even bother to reapply thermal past properly to the waterblock and cpu when build testing, after removing the stock cooler. So not a surprise really, to see Core temp with a discrepancy of 15° between the two cores at the moment
And I've never got speed fan to actually do anything with the last 3 mobos I have tried it with. I could just be being utterly dumb, but its not exactly the best worded/laid out/intuitive app going [cant argue with free, though]

Anything better for the IX38? [Anticipating needing to use a 120mm behind the hard drives in the summer]

*sorry for bad name, will try to edit post after next reboot.
