Finally got my MIIG over the weekends. It's a great looking board. I just finished setting up the board on my rig and installed a fresh OS and all the drivers and apps that came with the board. I'm having a bit problem though in using the onboard audio. The analog audio lines seems not to be...

The price I got for the board really sucks, but its a sacrifice I made for not moving to i7. I just love my Q9650 so much, can't let it go just yet.

@lillimon04 It will arrive next Saturday. Around $260 US shipping included. @WhiteFireDragon why is the Maximus II Formula crap?

@pvhk Great mini review you have there! @lillimon04 I'll have to ask my buddy where he is sourcing the board from. But I think it will most likely come from HongKong

I've been scouring the web for a couple of weeks now, but can't seem to find a good forum for this little monster. Thought I might start one here. Hope its OK :) I've ordered one of this babies from a friend abroad. Hope it arrives in two weeks. For those who have this board or experienced...

@__Miguel_ Do you think a "Creative SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 External " would eliminate the sound lag? I can't use PCI or PCIe sound cards since our Zotac board doesn't have an extra one.

Hello Everyone! Have you tried using a MIC with our Zotac board? I'm currently giving it a try so I can practice my karaoke skills, unfortunately my voice seems to be delayed as it gets out of the speakers. Weird. Wonderin' if anyone is also experiencing anything like this.

I'm using a discreet graphics when I tried that OC a posted above :)

To all Zotac 9300 itx users..... Could you please post your maximum OC on this board? Please indicate the processor, rams used, and BIOS settings as well. Here's mine: Processor: Q9650 Ram: Team Xtreem 2x2gb DDR2 800 @ stock voltage and speed All voltage in auto: FSB = 375 Multi =...

What memory sticks are you using? Mine does not have any problem booting with 2 sticks. I use 2x2gb DDR2 800 Team Xtreem rams 4-4-4-10 capable @ 2.1v but with zotac 9300 itx I have to settle for 5-5-5-18 @ 1.9v to make things stable, but I haven't really experimented with the ram voltages maybe...

My MCP temps is now better! Thanks for all the advice. I removed the rubber thingy under the MCP heatsink and then re-applied STG1 and viola! My MCP temp @ idle is still high but its now 60c and my load temp is now 62c. I'll give the STG1 a couple of days to settle in and hope that my MCP temps...

I stuck a 40mm fan over my MCP but it only slightly made my temp better,now my idle is @ 63c & my load 66. I'm also wondering why my idle & load temp delta is too narrow. I might need a stronger 40mm fan since I barely feel any air from my current one.

My idle temps is 65c, after 2 hrs of Crysis and 1hr of Fall Out 3 it rarely reaches 70c, my MCP temp usually sits around 67c during load. My CPU btw is water cooled and the only air flow that reaches the MCP HS is the one coming from the 120mm fan located in front of the SG05 (I suspect this as...

Your Temps are quite low compared to my 65c, what case and set up are you using with your 9300 itx? I already tried to apply Zalman Thermal grease but I still get the same temp. My case right now is SG05 btw.

I'd probably wait until the final revision/most stable BIOS is released. I flashed my board with the 410 version of the BIOS and everything is working fine. BTW, my MCP temp. is around 65c, how about you guys and gals?

@Blazestorm Can you register the board even if you bought it a couple of months ago already? Bought mine from Amazon.

@Casca Thanks for that detailed info. I will surely keep that in mind :)

Found a fix on BIOS settings always resetting whenever I unplug my rig from the AC; I just had to reseat all the cables, ram, video card, etc. No everything works normal. Except for the electronic buzzing sound whenever I load Crysis.

I just flashed my BIOS with the April 10 version that I found on another forum (thur Google), unfortunately, my BIOS settings still revert to factory defaults (everything even the date gets reset) whenever I unplug my rig from the AC. Does anyone have any idea how to solve my issue? Am gonna...

I think I might need to reflash my BIOS to solve my CMOS that always resets itself. Does anyone have a copy of the original BIOS of Zotac 9300 itx? I hear that the new BIOS is not good, It's not even available for download on Zotac's website. TIA!

I just checked my BIOS settings, I too also don't have the CPU multiplier option. I'm out of ideas. Has anyone experienced and found a fix to BIOS always reverting to factory default whenever you unplug your computer from AC?

My BIOS settings always reverts to factory default whenever I unplug my PC for a long time. I already changed the CMOS battery, still no change. My date always reverts to Jan 1, 2007 and all my BIOS settings lost. My work around is leave my PC plugged in the AC after I shut it down, doing so...

I'm also having my Zotac 9300 itx's BIOS settings revert to default whenever I shutdown and unplug my rig from AC. I just installed a discreet graphics card. Already checked and double checke my CMOS battery, seems to be ok. have you found a fix on this issue?

Try using the latest bios from zotac website.

I just downloaded the new bios from the site. I'll give it a try later, after I transfer my zotac 9300 ITX to its new home (SG05)

Hi Everyone, Has anyone tried the new BIOS of our board on the Zotac site? Any feedback? Thanks!

Awesome rig you have there DarthBeavis!

Does it mean that we could fit a GTX 260 (10.5" length) on SG05?

Thanks for all the insight/s regarding the GTX 260 and the SG05 PSU question. I'll take all your advices and hold off my plan to buy a video card for my ITX build until Q3 or Q4 of 2009 or until the energy efficient GTX 260 comes out. I'm planning to use my ITX build for a very long time so I...

Yes, I still don't have my ordered SG05. And still deciding if I can make that GTX 260 core 216 55nm video card work with the SG05 PSU Q9450 is cheaper but it isnt available anymore where I live, and I got a sweet deal on my Q9650. BTW Q9650 does not idle @ 1Ghz, I don't know how to make it...

My incomplete rig: Zotac 9300 itx mobo Intel Q9650 using stock HSF (not OCed yet) 2 x 2gb Team Xtreem DDR 2 800 4-4-4-10 @ 1.9v During my test, I got the following temps: (My room temps is around 36c, so HOT!) CPU Temp: Idle 48c,45c,44c,45c respectively Load...

What if you use 2 of the 4 pin molex connector with a 6pin adapter and then power up the GTX 260 with it?(along with the standard 6pin pcie connector of the SG05 PSU) Would the PSU be powerful enough to do that? I just read in the manual of my 9300itx that it support Hybrid power, it even has...

I'm learning a lot about ITX rigs on this thread. I myself own a Zotac 9300 itx mobo and would like to pair it with SG05 (ordered 1, ETA 2 weeks) Can anyone tell me if the PSU that comes with the SG05 can handle GTX 260 core 216? TIA!

Is Amazon selling the same PCB board revision of Zotac 9300 itx? Coz when I was checking out the product images from bot sites, the Newegg version seems to be different from the Amazon image of the board. Newegg's image is even different compared to the one shown in Zotac's website. Has...
