I hear those ti4200 are hotter than my gf3. Im not having overheating probs 2 front case fans 1 rear case fan and the ps fans. I wouldnt mind having side case fans to blow on the mb.

I have now look on my Ser. Number i have a ABZ Board but not troubles with there but my ram timings are 2-3-3-6 with BIOS P05 . And i will use first a other BIOS in the future when INTELS DDC is out and the BIOS are for this tool is good working.

I have the same setup:

AZB
2-3-3-6
BIOS 05

No problems at all. Not using RAID or SATA though.

Yes i using not RAID or SATA come time comes SATA .


greetings fire1

I have take a look on the INTEL DCC side and now there stand details from the DCC on the PICTURE . Take a look INTEL DCC I think the DCC come in short time to Download

have a nice day

Well, I've done a bit more playing around, and I'm up and running p12 now. I also figured out what was happening, I think, to my previous attempts... You will recall that the problem running p12 perviously was a stalled boot -- it got past POST fine, but stalled after with a blank screen and a cursor. If you turned on "verbose" boot (can't recall the BIOS setting) I got an error saying "unable to load OS"...

First, I run a RAID-O array, and this was what was causing the problem in loading p12 (and re-loading p07). What was happening is that it was not figuring out my RAID disk was my boot disk. Telling it to do so takes a few steps, which weren't immediately obvious to me the last time I tried.

The steps necessary to get it to boot correctly with my configuration is as follows:

1) Load new BIOS via one of three methods (web link, bootable disk, or jumperable disk).
2) Immediately enter BIOS upon reboot (you can wait for checksum if loading p12) with f2 key.
3) In the ADVANCED menu, DRIVE CONFIG section, make sure that INTEL RAID TECHNOLOGY is [ENABLED]. (it wasn't for me)
4) Save and exit.
5) Upon reboot, verify that the RAID screen comes up (it goes by pretty fast, but it is the white and green text screen that says hit ctrl-i to enter, but don't do that!), and re-enter bios setup with f2 key.
6) Go to the BOOT menu, HARD DISK DRIVES screen, and change your disk1 to the RAID disk, and (in my case) the other hard disk as disk2. (not sure if this is necessary, but I do it)
7) Still in the BOOT menu, this time the BOOT screen, change the BOOT DEVICE PRIORITY to your liking, but making sure that your RAID array is one of the choices.
8) Save and exit BIOS.
9) Viola, a working copy of p12.

I've only been running it for the time it's taken me to start hotcpu and type this in, but it seems stable thus far.

Hope this helps someone else...Mike

p.s. I've got a "AZBZ" running 2,3,2,6 memory timings.

What if I have Raid enable in bios and for some reason I can’t see the message that says Press CTRL + I to enter Raid config.

Should I have two drives connected to SATA I have only one ( Raptor 36)
Or my bios is corrupted (P12)

in order to have raid enabled in bios you must have 2 harddrives hooked to the SATA. One will not work because you cant have a raid without 2 harddrives

[Strife2101]

I have also noticed if a bios update adds new features to the bios it automatically resets all the settings to defaults. In this case if you have a raid and get a new bios it will give you a checksum error and unable to load os or whatever. All you do is enter setup and reenable the raid and the OS will boot

I ordered a P4C800-E Deluxe and 1 gig of Mushkin PC 3500 Level II, (NewEgg has the retail Mushkin Level II PC 3500 for $340:eek: ) bye bye Intel

That is precisely what was happening with my setup, only it needed to be done in a few steps in my case. It would make sense for a more "user friendly" update path, but I guess there's only so much room in BIOS for such features. Now that I figured out what was happening, and documenting my settings well, I feel confident I can now go from one version of BIOS to another relatively easily.

I'm a bit put off that some in this thread have thrown in the towel on this mobo. I've had not the first problem (other than BIOS upgrades) running it. It is rock solid and performs very well -- the reasons I bought it. I've never even seen a BSOD, warm boot, or any other major error. I think those who've had troubles are usually trying to get too agressive with memory timings that barely affect real world performance, and I'm confident that Intel will even work these out. PAT is a bit of a red herring. Regardless, this board rocks.

After another 24 hours of running p12, I've experienced no problems.

Have fun...Mike

As with most products those with trouble are bound to be the ones making noise. I've built 3 machines with it, 2 running fine and this one flaky. Plus I had to RMA one board. I could care less about overclocking or aggressive timings. That is why I went with Intel to begin with. I have not had to work this hard getting a machine to work right since AMD\VIA.

On Rev2, Pat is enable whit bios P012???

Thanks

This revision support Prescott???

Hey Paragon what are the problems the ASUS has been having? Are there any? I am having trouble getting my new TV tuner card to run. Can't seem to get the IRQ's to come up properly. I can get the TV tuner working but not the FM tuner. Tried installing XP over and over and moving the card around. I might go with the ASUS here shortly if I can't get this tuner card working.

From what I have read Sandog, the P4C800-E is one of the most forgiving 875 chipset motherboards out there right now...Not nearly as picky with RAM and everything tends to work as it was designed...It should be here in a few hours, and I'll let you know as soon as I get it set up
