I dunno why anyone would want a Abit X48 board if it breaks you probably wont find another and there are much better 775 boards from both Asus Gigabyte that are common x38/48 is pretty rare over here in indo and those are usually crappy giga boards rather than asus p5e, but i dont really bench anyways just do goofy frequency runs and for that there are ep45 while somewhat rare are available just kinda pricey, might go grab a p5k or another ep45 alongside a couple xtreem dark sticks whenever i feel like toying around with 775 again, maybe ill get 1600 on 4 sticks on a better p5q or a p5k board though the real interesting boards like giga g33m or g31 s3g are basically nonexistent so that sucks so im probably gonna be stuck soldering g31 chipsets onto p31/35 boards whenever i make up my mind and make some basic rework station or just gotta buy some cheap soldering equipment and voltmod some crap oem boards just for the fun of it due to the rarity of w36xx and gulftown i7s alongside evga and foxconn boards also being rare and may not be better than my ud3r in terms of clocking rams ill probably be done with x58 once i test out 4gbit hynixes and bin more w3503 see if i can get past 3400 so might go bin some 775 pentiums or even e8400s cause those have come down in price to the point where i can buy a ton of em and not be bankrupt sli sounds pretty interesting though even if i can buy an rx 570/580 4gb for less than a couple gtx 285/580 and obliterate them, but i could just run tri sli gts 250 and itd look even more ridicolous and i already have a gts 250 on hand just need to reflow it cause it refuses to work with the driver then buy a couple more gts 250 for the 10$ or less they go for alongside the sli bridge

Because it's cool and sexy and one of the last Abit boards made. Shouldn't have bad cap issues on that one, either.
I went a different way with my old OS builds. Z97 for my WinXP machine, Z390 for Win7. Need to sell off everything older than that.

Z97 for my WinXP machine, Z390 for Win7. Need to sell off everything older than that. pretty understandable as i was interested in an ex58 extreme that popped up for 28$, i mean its a top of the line board from 2008 and the massive northbridge heatsink looks pretty cool, rams wise itd still outclock any amibios board due to being able to run 11:8 5:4 and 1:1 (+1) uncore : memclk but it probably wouldnt oc rams as well as my x58a ud3r and this thing hardwalls at 3008 on the outermost channel and best ive done stable is 2832c10 (triple channel) and 3008c11 (dual channel) on a w3680 maybe i should have gone and bought it before it sold cause if it did oc like trash i could just resell it for the same price it went for or slightly higher and itd be a pretty easy hwbot mem freq sub, besides it looks cool and i can say i own a top of the line board fromn 2008 not that it means anything if it ocs like shit compared to a cheap x58a ud3r

Yep, that's the board. I gave up on finding one long ago, especially after I learned you can't run SLI on them. sli driver hack. I had that board back in the day. Before selling it I had a pair of gtx 470s in it. Loved the programmable LED on the back of the board. looked so cool. I desoldered them and swapped the blue ones with purple ones. Id love to find anther one. Good board for OC'ing dual cores, not so much for quads.

I could never find the driver hack. Would you have a link or file?

I bet if any one has the old driver hack it would be scott

That's the one. Replaces the HAL to believe you run an X58 with SLI certificate.

I've got version 1.5 beta that I've used on a couple Intel S775 MBs, little too big to post. There was also a Nvidia driver that had been hacked for SLI, have it but can't find it. Readme for HyperSLI HyberSLI Readme.txt (1.34 KB)
