yeah i knew it had to with the over clock and the voltages. since if i went back to stock setting it was gone and i do have my ram timming set and they are set to whats on them but for the final #. cause these corsair dominators they should be set to 5x5x5x15 but i got them set to 5x5x5x18 which works great on this mobo.

not sure why but that is 1 thing this mobo doesnt have goin for it and that is the ram controller. and when i run 8gigs of it i have to run it down to 1:1.00 800 something for it to boot up. go figure uh but with 4gigs or less i can crank it up to 1:1.25 or a lil more till it say 1068 or so.

but right now this bios 17 doesnt have a multiplier past 8 at all so i am stuck there. so right now i am trying to get some kind of over clock going. found someone over at xtremesystems on the abit IP35 Pro thread with the same cpu and i used there same setting. OCCT didnt like it 1 bit on my system.

so now i am trying to get a 3.2ghz oc to work which isnt to radical. but still no luck at all there either. but i got room to play there so far my setting i am starting off with is:
400 x8 = 3.2ghz
ram 1:1.20=960 (may bring that down some more)
cpu - 1.32
cpuvtt - 1.16
mch - 1.33
ich - 1.05
ichio - 1.55

stock is
334 x 8 = 2.67ghz
1:1.25=835
cpu - 1.25
vtt - 1.1
mch - 1.25
ich - 1.05
ichio - 1.50

so i am trying to figure it out from here and from my C2D setting to see how much farther i need to go. my friend said all he he had to do was increase the cpu voltage and the fsb and he was basically done, i think is what he said. i might try and call him to make sure that was all he did.

If your running 4 modules you must increase the MCH(about 1.42 not much more) and give the ram a touch bit on the voltage also. Do not see the ram voltage identified in the list or I am seeing it wrong.

The 1.42 is something that I used to see alot on the ABiT forum....

oh that much more to 1.42 but yeah my ddr2 volt is at 2.10 which is what the ram calls for. but i thought since it past OCCT it was good to go. but i guess i could up the mch from 1.33 to 1.42 but i thought the mch was the north bridge . and didnt do anything with the ram or did i misunderstood that?

well the next volt setting for mch was 1.41 so i now have it set to that not sure if what it will do but it is set to it now.

ok i now have final pictures of the way it is going to look. i got the cable as best i can get them to behave lol.

and i am down to 3 sets of UV blue lights since out of the 2 - 12" sets each have a bad light in them.

and i think it is looking really good now even with the way the paint job turn out. but now i know what to do if there is a next time lol.

well i redid the floppy cable since i didnt like the way it look. so i rerouted it about 3 more time this morning and i like it now.

then the big hole where i have a bunch of cables running threw is viewable. i now have it covered up with some mirrored Plexiglas.

so it hides it and makes it look nice as well since i have it in use on the other side by the main side panel where the 250mm fan is in.

also it will help direct air flow toward the back of the case as well. kind of smooth out the air flow so it has less turbulence as it where.

i will probably still mess with the cables more since some i may not like the way they look yet. but thats what they call fine tunning .

well sempy dam near let me tell ya!! i was shitten brick for sure!!

well i got some new blue uv light to replace the burnt out 1 and some mesh pci slot covers which look real good to.

i end up placing the 12" blue uv light set instead of back up front i laid them down in the very bottom of the case.

the mesh pci slot covers
Image Image Image

they come in a 3pc pack for $2.99 from preformance-pcs.com not bad really and they are not made cheap either like you would think for $3
