Just an update for you guys since I tried to get the Gigabyte board working before...ended up getting the Abit IP35 Pro....been great so far...had a heart attack at first getting it to detect any sata drives, but it ended up being user error...now it's all working...only bug is my cpu says...

The pins on board are connected correctly...I'm not having a light on the front not working...sorry for the confusion, but I meant I HAVE NO LED there at all (as in design...) the case logo itself does light on when I have power, which is cool, but I don't have a HD led feature on this case at...

Having one persistent problem now....windows won't shut down or restart with my holding the power button and power cycling....everything appears to be steady (granted I haven't played any games or really stressed the system yet), but when I go to START / RESTART or SHUTDOWN, or when a...

Hey guys, is 31c (core 0) 34c (core 1) IDLE temps good for a e6750 core 2 duo cpu? I'm using a Artic Freezer Pro 7 and I have a nice case for cooling (xclio a380bk, it has two 250mm fans [front and side] and 1 120mm exhaust fan, I have these all on LOW/QUIET mode)....I ran orthos for 2min...

Well good news guys....I guess I can still consider myself a technician, with the understanding that we are all subject to: USER ERROR Apparently my psu was routed in a manner that when I unplugged the power from the optical drives (to try them one by one) I was actually killing the power...

Update: So I cleared CMOS....waited about 15min.....turned on...now my computer sticks on the first screen and shows my drives on sata ports 1-4 (only my burner does not show now, and it should be coming up on sata 5 or 6)....it doesn't give status for 5 or 6 at all.... It says CMOS...

BTW serpentroyal all my hardware is in my Sig....it's the Ip35 Pro Model

So after installing windows....I started plugging one drive in at a time to the SATA ports and connecting their power connector...windows picked up my other sata HD great....powered off and connected one other sata optical drive...noticed that windows refused to see more then one optical drive...

SerpentRoyaL, Thanks for the help, I was able to only partially strip the board (wanted to try to get it working with a bit less work first since I just experienced an RMA with Giga-BITES defective P35 board...known bad bios chips....UGH)...well I removed all drives EXCEPT my SATA OS drive...

i tried the first trick...no go...the drives are first seen after cmos reset, but will not boot due to insane cpu settings....I fix that and save settings / restart...wham no more drives.... 12? the latest on abit's site is 11 for the PRO board....do you mean a beta bios? Thanks BTW. -...

Help! I got my abit ip35 pro finally, got it all hooked up...booted, noted it was version 6, booted from floppy, flashed the bios (with version 11), powered off (switch on psu), cleared cmos, restarted....cpu said 8ghz during post, well...I hit DELETE and fixed everything in BIOS (and when that...

I'm getting my abit tomorrow and I'm going to be using the AC7 Freezer as well...so I'll be trying this out...how is it working for you? Have you heard any explosions yet doing it this way? :D - Brett

modern cpu's can be damaged within about 10 seconds if it's not properly attached to a heatsink....with yours you probably have longer, but if you decide to do it, I'd be BRIEF just to be totally safe... to power on look on the small many connectors on the bottom edge of the board....usually...

Even though it's a different motherboard? the OEM policy says that the Mainboard (and only the mainboard) must remain the same model/make, even in the case of a defect....that's my only big concern....wish MCE was avail retail...bunch of fools making it OEM only. - Brett

What about XMS2 from from Corsair? http://www.newegg.com/Product/...p?Item=N82E16820145034 I know it's listed as 2.1v, but people in the Gigabyte Ds3r thread have no problem reaching 450mhz FSB at 4-4-4-12 timing, usually between +1 to +3 volts...board defaults to 1.8v on memory...that's...
