ip35 after g0

[strange|ife]

Ok so droop is pretty bad it seems for alot of people with quad&this wonderful board, besides DROOP! I mean iam getting a full volt of droop under load..idle is fine as expected.

Could someone post the resistor mod with some sort of instruction i.e tip size, cold solder?variable solder? 97%silver? lost one what to choose, sorry if this is upfront. But yeah noob here when it comes to volt mods on mobos:cool:

Hey strangelife whats up? There is a vmod in the Abit IP35 section but no mention of solder yet only glue:confused: that must be some JB-Weld they are putting on it...lol ...but I am sure that you will get the answer you seek soon enough! I get my IP35 today how do you like yours so far?

i got one last week. wasnt liking results i was getting with my 6850 and q6600 on my 680i. i am getting better overclocks, by about 200-300mhz. my vdroop is about .09v, about the same as on my asus p5w-dh and the evga 680i. i just take that into account when i set my vcore, like an offset. raid is fine, sound is fine. i have 1 optical drive on the jmicron, and it is fine. about once every 5 cold boots i it (intel matrix) doesnt find my sata data drive. and i get a "port reset". but it finds it on the next boot.

I am looking forward to mine and I hear allot of good things about the board from 98% of the people that have them.:)

[politenessman]

it does that thing where it turns off and on after bios changes, like the p5w-dh used to do. but thats no big deal. other than that, its a great board.

Please explain that:rolleyes:

[Flip_Lx]

if he means what i think with my board at least the pc will fully power off after a save and exit from bios then turn back on after a few seconds instead of just a reboot like some of my old board (amd based msi)

[Omastar]

Please explain that:rolleyes:

He's saying the board double reboots when you save BIOS settings. My Gigabyte DS3 did it, too, but it's nothing more than a quirk.

Oh geez not another D.F.I Infinity 975X/G syndrome. Please tell me this is not usual behavior on all of the boards?:(

if you're referring to all abit ip35 boards... yes, all ip35's do this.

it's annoying but you get used to it.

[Brother Esau]

See now thats just too annoying and I doubt I will get used to it!:mad:

LOL. Go complain on the abit forums!

Maybe they'll release a new bios that fixes this just like Asus did for the P5B.

[icon57]

my asus 975 ws pro did the same thing...powered off after making saves in the bios, and then rebooted....i was not a fan of that board, and dumped it immed.

with an avatar like that i hope all your hardware goes ape @%*@ on you.!!

j/k

you should be ashamed of yourself hating the 360 like that.

afaik every 965/P35 mobo does this when saving new BIOS settings.

You guys are silly in that thread man. In the original pics of the mod by Johny Bravo the wires are solder, as they are in the one you are referring to. When the guy you are talking about mentioned not having hot glue, he was talking about tacking down the wires and the resistor to a spot on the board to tidy things up, not the spots he soldered the wire to for electrical contact. :)

To OP, dig in that thread or in the V-mods section. There are great pics of the droop mod, it works well, give it a shot if you have this problem.

[strange|ife]

droop was not bad really with my e6600, but man this quad is a beast. pwm is much hotter underload and droop is pretty bad. board is fine otherwise.

ill dig around n see whats up, was hoping some more experience solder users would chime in.

cmon take that chip off ya shoulders guys=)

you like? i made it the other nite bored. lol

i dont hate xbox perse...just the way it has monopolized on gaming the past 2 years. and how almost all devs are selling out to it in someway. But hey it makes the bucks, cant blame em.

Yup.... Does it on my 965. Did it on a friends build with a 975(thought the motherboard was toast initially). I'm pretty sure it's just an 'intel' thing.

After i found out it was completely normal i accepted it and moved on. All others should do the same. It's trivial and it's normal for it to happen. Deal with it or get an nvidia chipset motherboard.

[politenessman]

my asus p5w-dh did it until there was a bios release that fixed it. there is an actual reason that it does this thing, but i cant remember what it is. anyway, it just turns off for a half second and powers back on. some guys worried that this would hurt their hardware in some way, but i dont see how it could hurt anything any more than a regular cold boot would.

[utetopia]

Still happens to my P5B-Dlx after an update from 0711 to 1215. Also my DS3P with latest BIOS does it too. Both are P965s. Asus is the 1.04G & DS3P is r3.3.

It's not that big a deal. When I was a P965 noob it worried me a bit but after seeing it happen so many times it's not a bother any more.

No RAID issues with the raptors then?
