Good board. I had a lot of issues when I set up my first one (Post about 1/2 the time, wouldn't recognize CPU). My second one works now that I read the posts on Abit's site about the issues.

Put everything together, clear CMOS, boot, set optomized defaults in BIOS, change ram voltages to the correct settings (stock is 1.8v which was incompatible with my ram), set timing on ram (It had mine off by a good bit), make sure it recognizes your cpu properly, if not manually set the frequency, voltage, etc. Reboot, and enjoy.

I also had some issues with the chipset drivers in XP. It took a lot of work to get them to install properly, expecially the onboard audio.

A lot of work to get it working for a big name board, but so far a solid performer with lots of over clocking potential.

Stay away from BIOS ver 13. It has been removed from their site.

if you really want one, keep on checking that page
some orders will not go through and from time to time, it will show in stock

Out of Stock (ETA:02/04/2008) [note - rebate expires 1/31/08]

Darn - I was gonna get one to go with the nice P182 case from Frys (which I hope still ships since it's now gone OOS too!)

wait no more. go order now.
Xmaskme said:Frys in Sacramento has about 10 "refurbs" $49.9x. 90 day manuf. war. C/S stated returns go to Abit. Hope that helps. I'm going to wait for NE to restock and hopefully a rebate.

Xmaskme said:OOS, thanks for the heads-up. Guess I'm going to have to be connected remotely to have a shot at this deal Forgot to mention I also saw (3-4) Abit IP-35 Pro's for $89.9x refurb.

Good price for the pro, but I would hate to chance a refurb for a build. Time is money.

wow. my RMA turned into a credit due to OOS. i shoulda just bought another one (i was even out of rebate time period). So Newegg recieved my return last week (confirmation on 1/7) before the sale but didnt process it until today AFTER the sale. I have been trying to get this board for a good 4 months. aarrrrggg!

in stock now
and very confusing, the offer is now 01/17-01/31 (used to be 01/07-01/31). different promotion????

or they want to screw those who bought before 01/17/08 ...

This form vs This form

UPdate: OOS again that didn't take long

just got my board. part# w05-78 on that place where a bad transistor may cause a Cold Boot Problem on some boards. Hope this one is OK.

If you got one named "T04-72" replace the board asap without building it
Location of the transistor

Just wondering, will this board work with the new intel 45nm quad core chips when they come out?

thanks

oh yeah, no problem
