I know I could probably use a fan to get the PWM down to my comfort zone @ 400x9, but I don't like the idea of rigging up a fan that close to my MoBo's circuits (I know I am a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:, but I don't want to hurt my pretty little IP35-Pro )"
That is downright affectionate! HEHEHEHE :D :D :D :D
A question for all you ip35-pro owners: does your vcore fluctuate wildly even under full load? I am priming here and cpuz shows vcore jumping between 1.280 and 1.320 constantly. I had a couple of ip35-e's and also fp-in9, their vcore is dead flat under prime.
Yep. If you cool the fets (PWMs), it helps. The other thing you can do is the vdroop mod, which I have yet to do.
My vcore sits at 1.44-1.46v idle, and 1.39 load. I ramped it up in the BIOS to account for the droop under load.
A little. It will drop to 1.38 but 1.39 seems to be where it tries to stay. I'm not happy with it either way though, that's a helluva drop. I hate having to crank up the volts to keep it stable at idle (which makes it hot), so it can fall to where it really needs to be at load.
you can use a lesser vcore to maintain idle stability and when you want to rumble;) with the puter, use Uguru to boost the vcore or whatever setting you want increased.
Anybody notice that GTLREF% decreased to around 62 keeps pwm temps lower?
edit: this is for a Q6600 overclocked specifically
I did the bolt mod and saw marginal difference in load and idle temps.
I decreased GTLREF% and now I'm seeing some really low PWM temps. (30-33C idle, 50-54 Load in prime95)
The only other variable explanation is that the MX-2 I used for the NB,SB, PWM mosfet heatsink cured in about a week (although I understand it doesn't need curing)
I noticed a new jmicron sata driver is available
1.17.32
ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/jmb36x/Win2k_xp_Vista
I have not tried it.
oi
is the front page really being updated anymore? would like to know since I just skim by here every couple of weeks to see what new drivers may have came out, instead of checking the diffrent vendors=)
i just switched from bios 14 to 16b10 to see what would happen with my temps. my PWM temps went down about 2-3C, but my cpu cores all went up about 2-3. anyone else experience something like that?
which bios is best for Q6600 and high 24/7 overclock?
Updated the the front page which includes latest drivers as well as current beta bios available:-

Can anyone advise what I need to try if I have one prime95 worker thread failing after about 3 hours? This has happened four times now. do you need my detailed BIOS settings to advise? any help is appreciated. here's another screenshot:

Man, I'm no quad expert but your Vcore sure looks low for that clock speed. Try a bump or two on Vcore and see if that makes it stable.
I actually just updated to cpu-z 1.44 on this last run, and it seems that they have replaced the voltage with VID. no idea why they would do that.
anyway, that's my vid not my volt. vcore is 1.4050 in bios and has some droop/drop, but seems to stay above 1.3 i think?
and i'm back to cpu-z 1.43 now
Well, since my case is not put together yet, I thought I made use of the 120mm fan and blow directly to the PMW?/PWM? and up some of the settings

see if you could do some recommendations
as always advance thanks:biggrin:

Actually, I was looking at the 1.32. Is that normal for a quad at 3700? That seems to be what it was under load. You may need to get it just a bit higher. But if it lasted 3 hours I would say you are pretty close.
When getting my E6600 to 3.6 it would fail after about 30-40 mins. One more notch of Vcore did the trick.
Hello, great forum, great people, i own this board and its awesome, but i would like to go with 4gb of ram, the questions is: it would be better to get 2 x TWINX 2048MB DDR2 800MHz DHX or 4 x Ballistix Tracer 2x100461-PC2-6400 ? It would handle great overcook with 2 sticks or it will be the same as with 4 sticks of ram?
Thanks.
Neither I would pickup these. I use to have Ballistix and only the 8500 overclock as good as these. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231145
2 sticks are better than 4 because they wont stress your motherboard controller as much and require less MCH voltage.
Did anyone try to flash IP35-ProXE_bios to IP35-Pro?
