I have a question about the fan control pin on the IP35-E motherboard. I can use either SpeedFan or AbitEQ to control (1) fan from 50% to 100%. I prefer SpeedFan, but there is a minor problem. I have a second hard drive in my computer, which greatly helps multi-tasking while I'm using my...

I also have the dreaded "cold boot" issue (see my original post). Since winter has arrived, it takes up to an hour to boot when my room is cold (<65 degrees). I decided to RMA (see next paragraph). I just won a case against U-Abit through PayPal. I sent them $157 about (6) weeks ago, they...

Glad to hear that you fixed your problem 996GT2 :). I think my problems were memory-related, so I now have a spare power supply to use as a backup. I'm going to keep using my Antec, and pack away my Ultra X-Finity. The Antec has a >80% efficiency rating, and runs quiet, although it doesn't...

OK all, I'm running @ 340 x 10 = 3400 (a 70% O/C) with a 1:1.25 memory divider (DDR2-850). I'm pumping 1.385V through bios; but my records show that I crashed in orthos after 2hr 13 min on a previous attempt, so I'll need to retest when I get time. I did some exhaustive tests with memtest86...

I can only boot with a 9 or 10 multi. Thus ddr2-800 speeds are inacessible to me. I've tried the 8 multi about 5 times, and I always have to reset cmos.

Hi Serpent: Yes, I am running Windows Vista-32 from a new sata hard drive. I have just tested all (4) sticks of ram for 50 loops of memtest #5. My OCZ ram is supposed to run @4-4-4-15-2T at spec; but i tested @5-5-5-15-2T. Should I test @4-4-4-15-2T, because that is the settings that gave...

I have been struggling with a "cold boot" issue with my motherboard, and have followed SerpentRoyal's instructions for testing my ram. I tested my (4) sticks of ram one at a time with the following settings: Vcpu=1.325, Vddr2=2.1, Vmch=1.33, Speed=360x9=3240. My memory is running 1:1 @ 360...

A big thanks to SerpentRoyal for all the help :thumbsup:. I checked out the Antec Earthwatts 430 at Newegg that you recommended, and it so happens that it was on sale for $60 with free shipping and a $30 rebate, so I bought one. I needed a spare p/s anyhow. I will wait for this before I...

My power supply is even worse than that. It's an Ultra (muttered while simultaneously coughing). It's the fry-cheapo 600 watt x-finity. I just pulled the battery, switched the clear cmos, and will put in the 500 watt p/s from my working computer tomorrow after work. I wll also flash to...

Hi 996GT2: I also have a cold boot problem that I have been trying to troubleshoot. My IP35-E can take up to 20 minutes to get my computer started after being powered off all night (it will reboot fine after I get it running for the day). It doesn't matter how many times that I power down...
