Below is a note from Abit's technical support in the U.K.:

  We are aware of a problem with BP6s having an unstable VTT voltage. 

  This problem only applies to assembly revision 1.1, board version
0.41 
  mainboards with Unisem branded regulator on Q6 location. Q6 is
between 
  two CPU sockets and closest to the AGP slot. There are two other
brands 
  of regulator also been used. But this VTT problem only occured with 
  Unisem regulator. So please double check the Q6. 

  The assembly revision is located on a label on the last ISA slot, you

  should find a label stating 'BP6-0K V1.1 ...'. 

  The board version can be found on the underside of the board, by the 
  keyboard/mouse socket. 

  If your location is within United Kindom, motherboards with this
problem 
  may be sent directly to Abit, for modification, using a pre-arranged 
  RMA number. This number must be clearly quoted on the outside of the 
  packaging in which the board is sent. You must also enclose a return 
  address where there will be someone to sign for your board when it
comes 
  back to you during normal office hours. All returns are handled
strictly 
  on a First-In, First-Out. 

  For all warranty issues other than this one you MUST contact your own

  supplier. Mainboards turning up here which do not fit the description
in 
  the second paragraph will be rejected. 

  If you are competent to modify the board yourself (or know someone
who 
  is), then all that is required is to replace the EC10 capacitor with
one 
  of value 1500uF/6.3v.
