My 2nd one should be repaired shortly. I got careless with a sharp flat head screwdriver and took out four memory traces that go to the chipset. I have found the pins on the back of the board in memory slot 4 and have soldered 4 wires on to them, but I can't seem to find where they go on the chipset, and you cant get to the chipset pins that are sunk into the board.

It's not going to be easy, but it will work again soon...oh yes...it will work again.

Man us Vp6'ers gotta stick together, say what ever happend to Tim?

He's been out doing his RF stuff for the past few months. He makes it in when he can which is almost never.

Hopefully they'll give him a break for a while and he can join us again, if even for a short bit.

Gotta love my VP6
Best board I ever had.

Dual PIII 1ghz @ 1.13 ghz (cD0, 150 FSB, 1.65 Volts) (default voltage is 1.75 but these chips love 1.65 for some strange reason)
Abit VP6
Infineon 1 gig Cas2 Ram (4 * 256)
ATI Radeon DDR 64 Vivo
Quantum 10KII 36gig U2W SCSI HDD Drive
Quantum 10K 9 gig U2W SCSI HDD Drive
Quantum A30 30 gig IDE * 2 ( Confirged in a Raid 0 )
SBLIVE Platinum 5.1
450 Watt PSU
W2K
All in a Lian-Li PC70
Cpu's are cooled with thermoengines and delta fans

MB Temp is 25 Idle ( 26 Full Load )
Cpu 1 Temp is 23 - 24 Idle (32 - 33 Full Load)
CPU 2 Temp is 23 - 24 Idle (30 - 32 Full Load)

Yep, one of the two best boards ever made. The other is the BP-6.

Treker · Sep 1, 2001

Anyone else interested in seeing the next smp board that abit comes out with?

Hopefully they will have learned this time to give us independant voltage controls for each cpu

And a question while I'm at it.. is there a way to bump up the voltage for my memory?

phantom punisher · Sep 2, 2001

ya independent voltge like on the bp6 would be a treat. as for the memory voltage i think it runs off the i/o voltage but thats an asumtion i made a long time ago and cant remember if it was founded in any truth or not

Treker · Sep 2, 2001

Thanks for the reply phantom,

However, does anyone know for sure how to rase the memory voltage?
