Hi all
I recently bought an IP35 Pro after having a nightmare with an Asus P5K Premium. I must say i'm Very impressed with this mainboard. I have read through the Thread dedicated to this mainboard and still cannot find an answer. Hence posting now to seek your advice.
However I'm havin issues with RAM. My setup is as follows:
Mainboard - Abit IP35 Pro
CPU - Quad Core Q6700 (2.66 Ghz)
Cooling - Tuniq Tower 120
RAM - 4 x 1GB Corsair XMS2-6400C4 Twinx
Graphics - ATI Radeon HD 3850 512MB
PSU - Corsair HX 520W
Hard Disks - 2 x 500GB WD SATA2 Drives
3 x 250 GB Seagate SATA 2 Drives
-When I use 2 Sticks of RAM. The system boots up fine and works ok.
-When I use 4 Sticks of RAM.The system does not post. I get a C1 Error Code
-When I use 1 Stick in each dimm slot I again get the C1 Error Code
I have tested the RAM by using one stick at a time it does not appear to be faulty. The system boots up fine.
I tried increasing the RAM voltage in the BIOS which did not resolve the issue for all 4 sticks.
I have recently sent the RAM back for a replacement. I'm interested in using 4GB RAM.
I presume 2x2GB is better than 1x4GB. Problem is I'm not sure which RAM to buy. I have my eye on these sticks -
G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PK PC2-6400C4 (2x2GB) (F2-6400CL4D-4GBPK)
In your experiences would this RAM be ok to use or can you recommend somethinge better? Am I better off using 2GB or 4GB? (I know with 4GB I will need a 64bit OS)
I'm interested in OCing to at leasst 3.4-3.6Ghz on Air.
I'd appreciate any suggestions or help you have to offer.
Regards
Nimbu
