Re: **Official ABIT IX38 QuadGT Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**
I did
![]() But i never use them anyway....(thank gawd). 4 ports at the back and two on the front of my case will be plenty. BTW.......when i first use the board to boot up and load Vista, is there anything i should know. eg. - Will i be able to load Vista on the shipped bios? - Will all my sata stuff work or will i need to load drivers for them beforehand? (rather than after Vista install) If not, is there a floppy for the sata drivers so i can 'RAID UP' on the install? Cheers fella |

if not though the system CD should now have a driver floppy creator utility that you can run from it & it will copy them to a floppy for you. |

Re: **Official ABIT IX38 QuadGT Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**
I loaded 64 bit Vista ultimate first and then 32 bit as more of my programs were compatible with it, and the supplied Abit m/b disc did all it had to even for the raid, to acouple of goes and away it went happy as larry!!, beats what beta 1 ones like thats for sure,
only concerns I have is with the networking and internet access with vista , ITS Horrendous with security everywhere!!!! all best, great board, slowly clocking up the Quad 6850 EE!!! ![]() Rob |

Re: **Official ABIT IX38 QuadGT Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**
Hi,
I have just purchased an Abit IX38 and I would want to combine us an Intel E8400. I probably will find in my mother card the bios 11, with this bios the motherboard will recognize the same the cpu? Have i read on the site Abit that this cpu is exactly recognized by the bios 12, in this case as i can make the bios to flash? With the bios 11 the motherboard allows me to make the flash to the version 12 however? I answer this because i don't eventually have a cpu of support with which to enter in the bios and to operate the flash to the version 12 with a floppy disk.... Thanks for your support Rome, Italy |

Re: **Official ABIT IX38 QuadGT Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**
Guys, I should be getting my board and all my stuff Q6600 on friday, I have already downloaded the latest drivers for the board from Abit and also the latest bios (got a bootable usb flash drive ready )
I have uGuru downloaded also Anything else I should download. I want to install the SATA drives using ACHI, so i have put the drivers on the USB stick which vista should pick up? Are all these drivers signed so they should work with Vista 64bit? Also any tips on overclocking, I would be happy with 3.2GHZ from my Q6600 what would I need to achieve this? |

Re: **Official ABIT IX38 QuadGT Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**
To go to 3.2ghz, just raise the FSB.
You shouldnt have to increase volts (or maybe i just got lucky) Also, if you are using PC6400 RAM, set the divider to 1:1:25 so the memory runs fairly close to around 820mhz |
