    Fix for Tuniq broken screws

    thanks COPOHawk, this has helped me big time, one of my thumbscrews snapped as I was removing the Tuniq to put it on a new board. I'm glad I googled to find this solution, I see many Tuniq users posting the exact same problem. The retaining screws are weak.

    Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

    are you talking about this, because his comments here regarding Abit v MSI seem pretty balanced and are far from calling the Abit board crap, or maybe your talking about a different thread where he's being, how can I put this, ...more outspoken...

    Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

    yup just confirmed by hokiealumnus that Furballi isn't around, must have been a very bad boy to get banned twice ... maybe SerpentRoyal should just start his own forum.

    Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

    What is VID?

    This may sound really stupid but I've just got to ask about this binning process. Intel (or whoever make them for Intel) must churn out millions/billions of CPU chips in a year. How does this speed testing and binning of CPU chips take place. I can't believe that each individual CPU chip is...

    What is VID?

    So am I right in thinking that all four of these chips are identical but the E2200 is binned higher because it has been tested @ 2200 MHz (with higher base voltages) and passed those tests ? Intel Pentium Dual-Core Desktop Processor E2140: VID = 0.85V ? 1.5V Intel Pentium Dual-Core Desktop...

    Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

    That's the point, the IP35-E was up on the Abit global website right next to the Pro, it was one of the highlited products, now it's disappeared and also disappeared from Abit's 2008 catalogue. I can still find plenty on dealer shelves here in the UK, but in my mind Abit have shot themselves in...

    Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

    Abit have removed the IP35-E from the global main webpage, in it's place sits the inferior IP35V which looks cheap, ugly and on looks alone I would not want to buy one. Abit must be crazy if they are killing off IP35-E, this board has become something of a cult classic for overclockers on a...

    Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

    unfortunately In my part of the world (the UK) $100 won't buy an E4xxx E4300 = £72.00 or $147.00 US E4500 = £75.00 or $153.00 US E4600 = £85.00 or $174.00 US

    Abit IP35-E Review (500MHz FSB board)...$90 @ NewEgg + $6.61 ship

    yup, I did read that some people were having problems with Abit P35 boards + Corsair PSU combinations over on Hexus forum. (others said they had no problems whatsoever). The Ballistix I got at a knockdown price & can only hope it boots @ 1.8V, last thing I want to do is spend money on a cheap...
