Not sure if this is the right section... but it is a chipset question and it relates to my mobo.............

Question is i have a abit AN8 Ultra. Its advertised on box and all the websites as a
Nforce4-ultra chipset. But in the pic you can see what i have in red to what i am supposed to have in green

Anyone have any idea why its not the ultra chipset ???

that is just giving you a generic reading of the chipset.
What does cpu-z read?

You have the AN8 Ultra, not the AN8/Fatal1ty. The regular AN8 and Fatal1ty boards have the regular nForce4/nForce4 SLI Northbridge.

You're just looking at the wrong mobo, that's all.

"NVIDIA NF4 Ultra Based AMD Athlon 64/64FX Main board, PCI-Express, NV SATA 3G Raid, NV GbE, NV Firewall, IEEE 1394, ABIT Q-OTES, µGuru™, AudioMAX™ Technology"

This is my mobo. I am looking at the right one and have the box in my hand. Thank you .

I know YOU know what board you have..........jeez...........

What I'm saying is the Everest screen is showing you have a Fatal1ty board, or a regular AN8, which does NOT have the Ultra chipset.

Your mobo:

AN8 Ultra

Chipset
- NVIDIA NF4 Ultra single chip
- Integrated NV Gigabit Ethernet and NV Firewall

The mobo Everest is reporting it as:

Fatal1ty AN8 SLI

Chipset
- NVIDIA NF4 SLI single chip
- Integrated NVIDIA Gigabit Ethernet and NVIDIA Firewall
- Supports NV SATA 3G RAID

or

AN8 SLi

Chipset
- NVIDIA NF4 SLI single chip
- NVIDIA Gigabit Ethernet with NVIDIA Firewall
- Supports NV SATA 3G RAID

Everest is reporting the wrong mobo.

Ummm.....it may be confused because of the OC...or perhaps you flashed the bios and the everest prog isn't new enough to know.

I OC'd a 2000+ enough once, that cpu-z reported it as a 2600+.

Looks to be, but I can't say for sure with that proggie. An older version reported my 875P as a straight 875, a newer one reported it correctly.

^^^ Yup. Either that, or the Everest programmers lump Abit AN8 boards all together under one listing.
