**Official ABIT IP-35 Pro Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**

I'm @ 400 mhz FSB on my E8400, took vcore 1.3650 to get it prime stable. Even going to 405 prime fails. Anyone see an issue with 1.3650 vcore on air (AC 7 Pro) MCH is @ 1.29, everything else default. I've got GTLR @ 63% on both. Prime load showing 62C (core 2)in Everest and vcore @ 1.33. Seems Core #2 always fails and runs the hottest, core 1 will run at much lower vcores without failure.
Any suggestions, should I go higher on my vcore to get more FSB or not push the vcore any higher. I see 1.45v is the max Intel rates the 45nm for.

look at my post above for suggestion on MCH and ICHIO 1.5...those two are critical for a high FSB overclock as well as proper Vdimm and Vcore...FSB VTT needs a small increase to around 1.3v

...Modded bios for IP35-pro by Polygon (Rebels Haven) is updated:
-Add Performance Level for Channel A & B.
-Add Read Delay Phase adjust for Channel A & B.
-mchbar is unlocked under Win now.

I tested it by myself, work fine. :)

Hi Guys,

Finally got my NB and GPU in my loop with a PA120.3 and pushed my Q6600 to 3.6GHz stable 50C in Coretemp (61 in uguru) after 10hrs (using Bios 16).

Notice the temp difference between the cores? this is my 4th mount with different blocks and I still get this difference. potential lapping candidate?

i appreciate your post but i can't understand why i have to become a member of that forum to download a mod bios for the IP35 Pro?

anyone have this bios who can email me the bios mod?

What is your mail address?

I'm a Moderator there and there is no requirement to become a member to download files! Why do you think that? The Admin doesn't care who downloads files. They are linked worldwide to non-members. :)

So with new modded BIOS i can chanhe perf/level only for 0 and 1 mem/slots. Which are 0 and 1? Which are closer to the CPU? So there will be no dual channel mode for my 2x2 GB ?

Help Felix!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Channels numbers are not slot numbers.

I'm pretty sure Channel0 is slots 1/3 and Channel1 is slots 2/4

You are right, Channel0 is slots 1/3 and Channel1 is slots 2/4;
So with modded bios it's possible to change PL separately for Channel A & B .
It's better cause differents settings by defaut is frequent for this timing;
For example, if I run a hight FSB/DRAM ratio and lower frequency, I get PL 4 for channel A and PL 5 for channel B.

Thanks for the post Felix. I'll try this bios later.

don't shoot me if its wrong topic, but is there any similar topic bout non -e, pro ip35 boards ? maybe someone got modded bioses? for it?

No problem! I can see why you thought membership was required.... :)

So I'm curious have any of these new cards taken advantage of pci-e 2.0 or still can't max 1.1? Curious since our boards have 1.1 I believe

There isn't one that I know of really. The only one at abit on the -E/Vanilla version is about fixing the double-boot that has morphed into a general BIOS / tech support / overclocking / random thread. Of course in the past couple days it's been taken over by a couple people going back and forth at each other that we had to rather forcefully end. :rolleyes: Anyway, no modded BIOS that I know of for these; they're less popular with the crowd that would mod a BIOS, if you know what I mean. :p:

Mine needs at leaast 1.27V and it is not stable at stock clock. I get a complete restart, at random intervals.

naw probably not, though i have not seen anyone run benches with pcie1.1 board yet and this card. People asked the same thing when the 9800x2 came out a few months back, and the test show a 2% difference on identical test systems. Could have been anything.

best bet is make sure your cpu is up to snuff with the newer cards coming out, a pcie1.1 board should be fine

i know but its not so different from each other i had a7n8x it was the cheapest model from the family and it had some community support :P i thought that now will be better/the same ;) :rolleyes: anyway thx for some infos :)

PL change does not work for me in new modded bios. I change it from bios, but in memset PL is still the same(7 on 1/1.2, 8 on 1/1). Invoke boot agents are enabled. All timing are set manually. Whats wrong?

check to make sure that MemSet is not set to "auto"...that will override any bios setting.

no, "auto" is unchecked.
Strange bug:
If I set channel0(2*2Gb) to PL=8 (for example): in memset A and B still are 7.
If I set channel1(empty) to PL=8: A is still 7, but B is 8 now.
If I set ch0&ch1 to PL=8: the same as prev - A=7, B=8.

1.3625 is the max recommended from Intel. I have a poor batch E8400 and use all of that to stay stable at 3.8 GHz.
You may want to look here:

Any one tried crossfire X on this mobo? Does the performance loss really negate the other card ?

I'm considering 4850's in Crossfire or a GTX260 depending on price drops by the big two.
