re: sata problem..does that board have the orange and white ports for the drive xpert function and is the non functioning one of the white port? the manual leads you to believe you can run both the orange port and white port for non raid applications. not true for me and the manual for my p5q...

re: number 1- not based in fact but speculation. there are many who say that would make sense for a server application. no one has proven it. re: number 2- again, speculation both ways. i have yet to see if proven. everyone i've seen with a xeon raves about how great they are with the intel...

could i say 100% that i know someone whose done it with that processor and board? no..would i put money on it that it will work? you bet..asus was i believe the first company that had bioses compatible with quad 45nm processors with their pks..i'm very confident..if it were me? i'd get the...

you'll be fine with the xeon..now that we're well past the initial p35 and quad combinations, the bios suppliers have it figured out. i have a test quad that was an early stepping (B1) that wouldn't boot on my p35 gigabyte ds4..it booted once i did a bios update on an abit ip35 pro..booted...

yes

i have the p5q and noticed the same thing..kept flipping from 6x to 8x on my 9450..i believe i went into the bios and turned off other settings on that same area that could potentially be related and that fixed it up, that's for sure. (can't remember but might have had to disable thermal...

i've had one biostar board..(p965 chipset based) . found out after i bought it that the model had hit and miss cold boot issues..turns out mine was one of the ones and never did get it going..plus my 11 year old can write better then the tech authors for their website. never will i touch a...

interesting that:) love the p45 chip and how cool it runs. that being said, have yet to prove it can overclock any better than my abit ip35 pro could..so far it's potential seems about the same, albeit the cooler northbridge. but, my 9450 was a very earlier release B1 stepping so it may simply...

got my P5Q vanilla built up a few days ago. also no issue here (quad 9450) i quite like the features and such. i was surprised that even though it wanted reactivation, it was able to reactivate over the internet without a call (when i went from a gigabyte p35 board to abit ip-35pro, had to call...

i know that..and you've missed my point..doesn't matter..this thread can go on forever..i have them both , i use them both for different reasons and applications.

gotcha ramon..i'm not going to get into that debate any more than i already have..have at er as you see you fit:) so, to the subject of unfair portrayal of the amd chip to the intel chips through the THG video, i agree..to a point..but many chose to ignore the main point of the video was not...

i don't see the fanboyism..it's a pretty darn good history, and let's face it..when you eliminate anyone but enthusiasts (which is what most of these forums we post at are founded on) there was a mass exodus from intel to amd for overclocking ability, price point and the fact you could build a...

cyclone, i think that's a pretty decent historical lesson there..nicely done. i have to comment from my own personal experience on a few fronts on this though including: amd- got a lot of headsup with enthusiasts of course due to overclocking and price point compared to intel... it wasn't as...

got that..just not everyone realizes that is what the strategy has been...and it's just tragic that .17 gig and an unlogged multi separates a 400 dollar and 900 dollar part

nice jump from 4xx to 900 bucks and beyond to get a 3+ gig part..simply not worth it for what you get back for most enthusiastics these days (note i said most..not all!) and i fear that this also assumes that intel doesn't change their pricing strategy with amd in it's current rough shape.

i'm not a fanboy either way. i buy whatever will be give me the type of performance/tasking i need at a price point i feel is reasonable. i've had more amd systems then intel by far and they have both been good to me...in the end, i woulda said to the guy.. "that was then..this is now"...

ahhh..that makes more sense..i was thinking, "interesting, usually people quote their cpu voltage":)

the lack of the creativity on those employing the 9800 label, one...more...time...is scary:)

intel 9800...seeing as everyone else seems to be using 9800 in a video card or processor series these days:)

stock voltage? what stock voltage are you referring to here (re: 1.75) memory volts?

i agree with rad. if you want the abit board, then either borrow a processor from a friend or buy a cheap celeron that you can boot into and change bios with ..why i kept my dual core 6400:)

not that logic matters when it comes to us enthusiasts..we want the next big thing..whether we have a need or not.."to go where no man has gone before":)

me likey..with a discount for [H] forum members of course:)

my abit ip35 pro was revision 1.1 (bought in early january and i think still the latest revision) and it came at that point with bios 14. that bios would not boot my q9450 until i flashed the board to one of the beta 16 bios versions. all beta 16 and the official 16 bios version boot it fine.

HYPER CORE HYPER CORE 3 OCTOCORE SPIDEY CORE (whoops, don't know how that one slipped in there:))

it's not software from intel..it's a program that a private individual made after he realized coretemp had inaccurate information with penryns. and your link isn't working by the way. ps- intel has not made temp monitoring software for the penryns nor is it expected they will.

"all the people"..yes..i wonder how many people actually have plastic cases:)

late, but for anyone considering ps with a ground wire, the ps itself is already grounded..it's simply not necessary to attach. (the wire on my tagan has a plastic cover on it so i just left it on) but if you do want to use the ground wire, not sure i'd try to attach it to a mobo screw in case...

love my tagan bz800..it was one of the few power supplies of that size range that was only about 1/2 an inch longer than my 500 watt silverstone and at the same time was modular..i love the connectors and it powers my quad 9450 based system wonderfully..it's dead quiet and cool, well at idle or...

for abit ip35 pro users, new bios that is official here! ftp://ftp.abit.com.tw/pub/download/b...ro/m629b16.zip see the text folder for the changes.. enhanced 45nm cpu compatibility..i hope i love it!

and have we ever seen anything like that before where a mobo company specifies which STEPPING motherboards support..wow:) i guess i should be thrilled that my B1 stepping will run at all:)

i just don't recall ever seeing temp reporting issues like with the penryn's ..really quite tragic

i would say the sweet stable spot so far from roaming around is 3400 to 3600..yep, 3600-3800 is obtainable, but i'm not sure a great idea with voltage tweaks that maybe required for stability..i can do 3800 stable on air..at 1.4+ volts and with my cpu fan cranked up from my preferred 500 rpm to...

good job, todd!

[/IMG] this is my screen shot of uguru after adjusting voltages to match yours pretty closely for 3400..running fine:) notes: difference between your cpu voltages and vcore and mine is likely due to using different bioses. bios does not detect fans running as slow as my cpu fan is...

[/IMG] my uguru at the same speed..i should try stock i guess at 3400..i don't know if i ever did or just made an assumption it wouldn't boot at that:)

thanks for posting that.you see, my sensors are stuck on my 9450 so i didn't have a clue what my temps were like but this gives me some idea. also a good reference point as it appears all your voltages are stock except for your memory voltage..and it's stable at that , right? now, you're a CI...

you're my new best friend! i've been waiting for 2.5 months for someone else with the abit ip-35 pro and q9450 combo to come along..can you post a screenshot of your voltages from uguru here so i can see them all? i'll do the same once i can get back into my photobucket account for...

so, at 3404, here's my q9450 voltage settings fpr your interest and reference from my abit ip35 pro board..this is hardly "optimized" by the way, in the sense that i probably used some brute force where maybe not necessary on some voltages..i can't be bothered to tweak everything by .01 and...

3.6 at 1.2 volts is about the best i've seen so far in terms of low volts and good overclock. can you give us your specs? mobo, voltages? tanks!
