I just thought I would share my experience here for the benefit of those who are having trouble OC'ing beyond minimal amounts. In my case I was using an IS7 MB with bios 13, 1 GB of Corsair 3200 XMS C2 latter replaced by 1 GB of Kingston 3500 HyperX, P4 2.4C, Zalman 7000 CU heatsink, Sapphire...

You should be able to get fairly tight timings on this board with the Corsair TwinX, especially if you don't want to OC. That said, you could still have trouble running some of the game accelerator technology settings (GAT) in the BIOS. The reason I say this is that my Corsair 1024-3200C2...

Interesting thread here on the Abit USA Forums. Bascially, it sounds like a lot of people are having problems with the IS7 series and any memory using Winbond CH5 chips. Many of the Corsair memories appear to be using CH5 chips.:frown:

Airgibson I can't answer most of your questions but the default CPU voltage on the IS7 is 1.525. So far 1.550 appears to be the most my 2.4C CPU can handle.

Voltaire, I played some more with the settings and am not having the success you are. I was able to run stable at 240 FSB with SPD memory timings of 2,3,3,7 with a 5:4 divider. CPU voltage was at 1.575, DDR voltage at 2.6. I didn't mess with the GAT settings this time -- they were left at...

Thanks for the replies, they were helpful. Voltaire, in answer to the questions you posed I have been making changes one at a time and am using BIOS 13. I finally had some luck this morning manually setting the timings to 2,5,3,3. Turning on GAT to either Street Racer or F1 will not post...

I'm a long time reader and first time poster here with a few questions that hopefully someone can answer. Anyhow, I just built my first system using the ABIT IS7 board, 2.4C CPU, 1 GB of Corsair XMS 3200C2 running in dual channel, Radeon 9700, and Antec 1040 case with 400 watt Antec power...
