AB9 QuadGT

[dave24]

Hi all, first post here just got the AB9 QuadGT mobo everything running good except for 1 small problem,when i save any changes in the Bios the computer shuts down then starts back up then shuts off because it has turned my Vapochill unit off and the cpu is getting no cooling obviously,just wanted to know if this is normal or is there a fix for it.Running the M621E_11A.B06 beta Bios at the moment.

I'm not familiar with such cooling methods but I can confirm its totally normal for the machine to power off, then power on again after a BIOS save/reset.

thanks for the reply Firebar,thought that might be the case

seems to be a trait of 965s - others do it too.

strange,you would have thought they would have found a fix by now?

Pretty sure a firmware upgrade was released for the Mach/Vapo units (along with custom controllers too) to stop them shutting off at this point.

i will have a look around for that then,thanks

It's doesn't seem to be an errata, more a design "feature" of the chipset. As such by definition they may not be able to produce a "fix" as it were.

Whether it'll be possible to dissuade boards from doing it is another question, but in your own case it seems that sorting the Vapochill's behaviour is the way to go.
