you are probably undervolting either vcore or memory, or, both!
But if this is a first ever start of the PC? What then?
RAM is cheap Transcend (1.8v).
I'm trying to clock my memory using the 1:1.25 divider using 16B04 but CPUZ and Memset are reporting that I am running 1:1, the frequency the memory runs at seems to fluctuate from below 1:1 to 1:1.25 and back
Anyone have this problem/know how to tell what my memory is clocked at for sure?
you guys have a very interesting and very helpful thread...this is why I'm considering this board.:up:
now I'm not an OC'er so reading this thread, it seems this board is good to go from the beginning.
so far I have a 4GB DDR2 (2x2gb) Corsair CM2X2048-6400C5DHX and probably would go with a Q6600.
any more suggestions would be greatly appreciated
many thanks to Ace-a-Rue for compiling most of the FAQ and helpful hints.:up:
this is a darn good board...just have to realize that it has vdroop.
i like to take credit for all the good information here but i contributed maybe 10-20%...others have provided excellent information...one thing here in this thread, you won't be talked down to...we have to many sarcastic posters in other threads who think they know a lot of sh*it about computers but in the end they usually make fools of themselves.
i rather be constructive, helpful in my posts than to criticize someone else for self-satisfaction.:)
I'm running a Q6600 on this board and am having trouble with intel's speedstep. I have it stable at 3.2 ghz (8x400) and have tested it a few hours of prime95 running without errors. If I enable speedstep, Vista won't even boot and either locks up or gives a BSOD stop error while starting up (reboots too fast to actually read the stop errors). I can boot at 3.2 ghz (9x356) and 2.848 ghz (8x356) with no problems. The ram tested fine under memtest for 12 hours at 8x400 settings, so that shouldn't be it. I am running bios 14. Should I update the bios? Any other ideas on what causes the instability/not being able to boot into Vista?
do you have C1E enabled?
There seems to be a lot of interest in Thermalrights HR-09 PWM heatpipe cooler, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to fit the IP-35.
Been searching around a bit, but I haven't really found any hard facts about why it doesn't fit. Was ordering a HR-05 for the northbridge, so I ordered a HR-09 just for fun.

Obviously, that's no fun. It's simply not wide enough to cover all the MOSFETSs.

Not even close...
Well, there's got to be a way, right? Since I work for the local power company, I have no problem getting my hands on some copper.

Not a beauty...

Not flat either :p

Well, I guess that as good as it gets from a 4am cu-job.

AS5 between the copper plate and the HR-09.

And there we are. Worth all the hassle? Nah, but I didn't really have anything important to do. Well, sleep, but maybe I'll do that tomorrow :D
I'll post som temps after some proper testing, but now I have to go to work in an hour.
As I have stated, I'm not into OC'ing...and from what I have Google so far about vdroop, it's for folks that OC.
I'm more like order parts, assembly, bling it and play...no tinkering around something I don't understand.:p:
Though I didn't see my 4GB Corsair CM2X2048-6400C5DHX listed within this thread, Corsair DOES list it on their compatible memory for this board:
"800MHz at the low latencies of 5-5-5-18", per Corsair
So hopefully soon I can experience this Abit IP35... :up:
BassKozz: Apogee GT (bowed base)

Ace-a-Rue: This is obviously not optimal, and I really wanted to use a thinner copper plate, but 5mm was all I could find that wasn't allready full of holes.
I really just wanted to see if I could make it fit.
I just got home from work, so I'll try to get some testing done.
Sorry to get off topic, but can someone post a link to some sites where I can get the latest drivers be it beta or not. Abit's website isn't the latest whatsoever. Thanks in advance.
@kakarlsen try superglue instead of the AS5 for between the copper and sink.
well my roomate and i both have the ip35 pro, and we are both doing the vdroop mod tonight. and his quad(b3)/mobo has the wickedest droop ever.:(
bios setting 1.6v
read with DMM
idle= 1.54
Load= 1.43
3.75ghz orthos stable
thats WAYYYYYYY to much droop for me. especially for the B3 q6600 that cries for volts. :p:
Peace, love & respect
Tomorrow i'll get an 8400 to replace a 6750 on my 2nd rig (along with some other stuff).
Will post back my oc findings...
I got version 1.1 of this motherboard and I am awaiting delivery of a Q6600 from Komplett.ie (it was shipped on friday , should arrive weds or thursday). I ordered both motherboard and CPu on monday evening but the CPU didnt come into stock until Friday. Ive checked the heatpipe on the motherboard and it is touching all chips / mosfets.
I also got some Zalman ZM-STG1. I know its not super TC but its better than what comes with the Heatsink Intel provides. This will be used with my XSPC X2O Pro WaterCooling Kit. So I am hoping that I will get a good OC. But I will have to wait until I get good ram because last Thursday my 2 sticks of 1gig Corsair Dominator died on me. I will be buying 3 gig of Crucial Ballistix 8500 instead. I had the two sticks of ram tested on a different motherboard each inserted seperately but the other computer souldnt boot up , so I bought a 2gig stick of Kingston Value ram to get me by until I get new ram.
Anyway I am after getting some info that I can use to get the q6600 up to 3.6ghz.
And I got the following info from this thread which should also help.Quote:
Vcore 1.48 ( Droops down to 1.4v underload)
Cpu VTT 1.27
MCH 1.44
GTL REF Both @ 69%
this 8x450......
Is there anything else I should know for OC'ing an Intel because I am new to intel. I always run my computers with AMD parts but AMD suck lately.Quote:
I do run 1.65 on the ICHIO and 1.44 MCH -for ram to run properly++
all right, adjust your voltages to this:
MCH = 1.56 or 1.64
ICHIO = 1.70 or 1.80
Vdimm = 2.3 or 2.4
DDR2 REF = PLUS 2%
and memory timing to at least CAS 5...i would really try: 5-5-5-15 (or 18) and 42-48
Hi guys,
Thanks for the thread, got the IP35 Pro motherboard.
I was preparing to do the heatpipe mod, but then a thought stopped me cold in my tracks.
Does the heatpipe mod void the warranty?
