fatal1ty fp-in9 sli

[ABIT Sean]

No udates for the IN9 SLI this week. They have done some for a few of the other models. AB9, AB9 Quad GT, AW9D-MAX and the KN9.

I will try and have the FTP site up runnig next week.

been running bios 11 for about a week now and not had any issues with it havent tried the pci slots to see if they work but generally is alot more stable

although i cant seem to get her to overclock as high as i would have liked i guess it will improve with each bios

quick update - finally got my pc-phone transfer software sorted;

here is the pic with the old amd stock fan sat on the NB wedged in place between the ac7 ans the 7800gtx

Using Bios M624B_11
As this is my first C2D and haven't experienced other boards i can't really say its a good or bad board, but since bios 11 i am happy enough.

Can anyone please advise as to whether 1.55v cpu set in bios is too dangerous to run 24-7 if it remains orthus stable?

thats quite alot of volts but nice overclock for this board

what kinda temps you getting with it if its over 50c i would say too much

hi, if you replace the h**t with http you should be able to look at my pics.
thx

[danroyle]

at load 59c is not too bad at all a little high for my liking but not insanely high

[chipper36]

thanks, i know i would like temps a little lower but i just wanted to see if it was possible to get 3.6 out of the chip/mobo ... may lower it for 24-7 usage though.
Orthus past 3hrs now and temps seem to be 55 - 59

Mayhaps after another hour or so try lowering vcore just a notch...my 6600 takes 1.5v to run at 3.6ghz...obviously they are all a little different but I'd still try and keep lowering it unless you've already gone through that exercise

I am quite astonished by the maximum overclock obtained by Shamino in his review on VRZone site : 475 Mhz for the FSB ! While all the users I see on Abit forums (this one, abit-USA, xtremesystems.org) reach 450 Mhz the best, and more often, around 400 Mhz. Unless people who attain such a high FSB do not encounter any problems and do not post on these forums accordingly.

I would like to understand...

You and me both mate and he was using the original bios I believe.

I tried his settings and got it to post once but it didn't make it further than the boot screen. After that I had to reset the bios to get it to post again

[Nickg]

but what stability did he have? i can boot @ 400mhz fsb + but i cant run orthos for more than 20 mins..i could claim it stable but it wouldnt be for proper usage!

think 7hrs is long enough to test?
Will try and get the voltage down a bit more

Yes, you are right : what was his stability ?

Nevertheless, 475 Mhz is surprising since it seems that many users cannot even reach 400 Mhz.

Or maybe the ambient temperature was low which enabled to push the FSB further ?

[danroyle]

i knwo the feeling i use bios 11 and can push my 6400 up to just about 3ghz stable but anything over seems to be a brickwall and i am not happy with it at 3ghz i have to put too much volts through my most stable speed is 2.7ghz

my abit ab9 hit 3.2 with this cpu at 1.3v nb etc at stock
this thing only judt goes 3ghz at 1.375v
