Just so you know, I think it has been established that BG7 temps are about 10 C higher than what is really true. So that 58 peak is actually about 48-50 C peak.

Yes, they came after the bios upgrade. Previously, like many people, 3:4 with the Low setting wasn't anywhere close to stable. Now however, it is. There is a but though, I didn't get to test the RAM for that long, maybe 45 minutes, as it was in my parent's computer. Currently they're using the...

I tried my Corsair XMS2700 512mb RAM in my computer with the BG7 and it hits DDR394 at 2-5-2-2 now! 2.8v though. It won't hit DDR400 unfortunately :( But it still does 3010/3009 in Sandra roughly, which is good enough for me.

I just grabbed the bios, got that error (hadn't checked here yet) then went to check abit's website- they've pulled that bios! It no longer shows up on the bios list for the BG7

I really need to buy a motherboard soon, as having to deal with my older computer (cel 766@1ghz with a TNT2) instead of my P4 system without a mobo is really starting to bug me. However, I've read that the P4B533-V has problems with XMS RAM, and I need to verify that this is absolutely and...

Well, has it been established that the BG7 reports temps a bit higher than what they're really at? Cause I don't think there's any way in hell my cpu is at 45C at it's default 1.6A idle, with an Alpha PAL8942 and Sunon 80mm 50cfm fan. I just hope Abit releases a bios update to correct the temp...

Well since no one responded to my previous question about the audio, I'll ask another one hoping someone actually reads it. Using MBM5, the Winbond 2 sensor I'm pretty sure is the CPU one. However, two of the settings give two different temperatures... that both vary as the CPU is put under load...

Can anyone get the surround sound to work with the add-on card? I've plugged in my front speakers to line-out, my rear to the one marked Rear on the CA-20 (I believe that is what the audio card is called), and I've got my Sigma Realmagic Hollywood Plus audio plugged into the line-in. With the...
