the ES did like only 5ghz under a cascade and 5.2ghz under LN² , first i thougted it whas the cpu . now im sure its the board! buyed me a new QX9650 but a retail : same all over again , 5ghz max cascade nothing more .
so it punt's out to a immature bios , so plz abit and xs member's do something about it ! remarks to the bios voltage's in bios are shown all wrong (i have to set 1.45vcore to get 1.3vcore real , and that's with a v-droop) temp's are freaky! even core-temp cant read the right temps on air !

hope this get's througe to someone at abit or a member here can look in to it or this board is out off here for good !

hey man, feel your frustation!...this board will deliver when the cpu is very good...i got my original 9650 to 4400 mhz (air) and it was the same for the DFI LT X38.

true, the bios vcore is way out of whack with what has to be set and what becomes actual...i use Uguru...the vcore difference is only about 0.07 difference to actual vcore.

abit is working on an updated beta bios...CeBIT stopped them in their tracks...i think that is over tomorrow or today...lets hope next week will be a release.

I backed down the FSB, so far this might be it, until I get better RAMs

cpl ledanek your temps on the pwm seem kinda high. did you do aces bolt mod? i mean under full load on my OC of 3.8 I only go up as high as 47c

I think that may have something to do with your low OC

I did, but may redo once I get proper 775 bracket for my HRT RS128...it'll be awhile since I'm still painting pc case...so a little break.
I'll be back to post more querries:up:

So the Xigmatek works without a problem otherwise? Looking into getting one and didn't know if it'd fit the IP35 Pro.

Here my little contribution:up:

Guys what exactly is the CPU VTT ? and what is the safe range for changing it?

and is there any bios with 1:30 or 1:40 ram ratio? something between 1:25 and 1:50 I mean! I cant go over FSB 415 and my ram will be at 1050... I have two sticks of Transcend axe 1066 D9GMH ... I can do DDR 1150 with fsb 375...but since there is not a good ratio option for me I am stopped at FSB 415 and DDR 1050

Well, I am a bit baffled by my system at the moment. I was running 4 sticks of Crucial Tracers with no problems for a few months. Then I had a stick die so I sent the set back for RMA. When I got the replacements, they were the single sided new ones. I don't know if they would have plyed well with my double sided as they were bad out of the box. I sent them back and got my replacement for the replacement yesterday, which are double sided. I installed them this AM and started off with a MemTest run, which passed with no errors. I booted into Vista and after a few minutes got a BSOD and reboot. I upped the MCH a bit and same thing. Relaxed the timings and same thing. I even tried running SPD settings with more MCH with the same results. SO I backed of the o/c but that didn't help either. I then tried Vista's memory tool but things passed with no errors there, also. I next pulled the new sticks out and reset all the voltages and o/c back to where they were. Things now were back to normal. I replaced the older sticks with the new ones and same result, works fine. Just to check if a slot had maybe gone bad I moved the sticks to the other slots. Things work just fine there. I now know it is not the sticks or the slots. What had happened that now keeps me from running 4 sticks of memory when it worked fine before? The only thing else that has been changed was I went to the 16.04 bios, up from the 14 during the RMA process. Could this be the cause?

what was the error code for the BSOD?...if it is auto-restarting right after you see the BSOD, you can take it out of the auto-restart so you can write down the codes...punch the code into the search engine...it will show you what is happening...i am guessing vista might be hosed...put the vista disc in and go to repair...if it detects a problem, it will rapidly fix it....could be a corrupted NTFS file index...just some ideas.

other options is to return to your previous bios or run a new setup for vista.

Hi! Can someone say their max FSB on this board? i was trying my old E6750 and i can't go over 495 fsb have tried to jump over to 500/510 and such it doesnt matter how high vMCH i take or vCore, VTT im using 16.B09 beta BIOS or shall i change it? :) it's kinda wierd cuz atm it's stable at 3850 but when i higher it to 3900 it isnt stable at all :S

Ugh, been completely out of the loop on what's happening with this board lately due to studies. What's the new B09 bios like? I'm still running B03.

is the abit ip-35 as good as abit ip-35 pro for overclocking ??

I have a Q6600 G0, wc, 4Gb DDR2 1000 GSKILL, and want to do 4Ghz (8x500) is this posible or need a E8400/E8500 to do this ??

begrip, i would use 16.b04 bios it more for the 65nm cpu

your vcore is to high for stock speed...try setting it around 1.15 actual vcore.

485 mhz at 8x will probably be your max FSB with a Q6600...a dual core will probably go higher if it is a good chip....all this overclock stuff is a gamble.;)

if you are happy with the current bios, stay with it....16.b04 was released for the Penryn cpu

That could be a distinct possibility with Vista. When I tried to run the first replacements I kept getting all kinds of weird happenings with Vista. Ever since then I cannot access things like Control Panel, Windows Update, or even get to the desktop settings. That seemed to be a problem for a lot of people and I have been fighting it as a Vista problem and not on my end. I have tried the Repair from the disc and it finds no errors. I have tried to run the SFV thing and no errors. I really miss the Repair function that XP had. It does look like maybe a fresh install of Vista is in order. I never thought to boot into XP to see if I had the same problem. I will give that a shot later in the week.

You know somewhere in this thread I :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:ed out about the Ip-35 Pro as I went through 2 or 3 of them. But little did I know and it was not well known way back when I first tried it that there was an issue with the psu (HX620) in the rig I was putting it in. Lol, I tried forhours changing settings, and flashing the BIOS and rma'ing and remounting. All for not.

But a month ago, I put it in my main rig, and all I can say is that it was worth a second whirl. I love this board, and this thread has been a great help to maxing my q6600 OC.:up:

Hey guys, this mainboard works well with 4x1 gb ddr2?

Cpl, I was looking at your screen shots, did you try bringing the ram voltage up to 2.1? Lots of these memory chips rated at 800mhz just need a little nudging to get to 900 or so.

Bios 16.B10 is out :D Linky ---->http://forum.abit-usa.com/showthread.php?t=122393

i had that same problem...the way you fix that is hit F8 at boot time and then select "last known good configuration", or similar words like that...it will allow return to default settings...basically it resets all your system changes back the way it was installed for the first time....you will regain access to windows update, control panel and other sub adjustments....UAC will remain deactivated if you disabled it before...i do! (POS);)

Ok Ace put in that new bios and let us know how it works :D
