running win 7 64bit RTM
uguru works fine not sure people are having fits

Anyone else having eSata issues with Win7x64 RTM? One of my esata drives is seen as hotp-pluggable the other isn't.
I apologize if this has been asked before but is it at all worthwhile to crossfire video cards with this board? With the new ATI cards out there should be some bargains in a few months, thinking two 4770's.
^ Brilliant!! :rolleyes:
Can someone please confirm if these are BETA or Final versions.
Thanks.

Thanks Paradigma.
Since you use version 17, can you re-enter BIOS assuming you use a USB Keyboard and have AHCI enabled?
Thanks.
I just tried to get my Abit IP-35 Pro board from standby. The board didn't start up any more and looped at post code 9.0.
Apparently this means:
"9.0. Complete µGuru initial process AWARD BIOS take over booting job 1. Power on -> Stop at 9.0. 2. 0.0.-> 8.3. -> 9.0. Award BIOS initial stop processing
1. OC too high 2.BIOS dead
1. Clear CMOS 2. Restore default setting for BIOS 3. Replace BIOS chip 4. Send to RMA at last"
After clearing the CMOS it would boot the second time it restarted, but it won't run at anything higher than stock. I used to run this thing fine 24/7 @3.6 by just bumping the frontbus to 400.
I have had the board since january 2008, and since 3 and 4 are probably out of the question is there anything I can do to remedy this, or should I start looking for another board? :(
Edit: I am using Beta Bios 18 and specs are in signature.
Edit2: After looking again the board went through the 8.3 > 9.0 sequence, so I sent it to RMA.
anyone knows if the IDE driver's problem is general in windows 7 or exist only on the ip35 pro motherboard?
hey guys. i'm not computer savy. how do i make a raid driver disk for f6 during installation of windows 7? actually, i'd rather use my usb flash drive if it's possible like in Vista. i downloaded the manual and it only instructs how to make the disk using a cd that came packaged with the mobo. i need to use the newest driver posted on the first page of this thread. do I simply copy the contents of the driver folder onto a diskette or flash drive? if someone could help me i'd appreciate it. I'm only using 1 sata hard drive so I have no need for raid drivers. i just want to make sure I do the clean install properly. i wonder if f6'ing is even required for windows 7 for only 1 sata hd. i've googled for half an hour and can't find the answer.
U don't need no aditional drivers for single disk under Windows 7 instalation process. Latter, after instalation have finished you are free to update any driver u think that it is necessary. There is an RAID driver from Intel included in Windows 7, so you don't need to load one during install.
Hi, is anyone using a 5850 with their IP35 Pro? I have one coming in the mail and am trying to decide whether to keep my existing rig or upgrade. Any feedback would be appreciated. I will be running Win7 64bit once I either install the new GPU or build a new system. Note: I've always run my board and CPU at stock. Memory is running at rated speed. So am wondering if I can get this OC'd a little bit if it really would be worth upgrading my entire build or not. Will I be CPU limited in games, etc?
New Card: ASUS EAH5850/G/2DIS/1GD5 Radeon HD 5850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5
So, if I should keep my current system then any suggestions on settings to try for an easy overclock would be mucho appreciated.
Current Rig:
ABIT IP35 Pro LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard BIOS 17
Intel C2D E6850 Conroe @ 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W
Tuniq Tower 120 Universal CPU Cooler 120mm Cooling Fan
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2@1000 (PC2 8000)
OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI 700W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready
Possible New Rig:
ASUS Maximus III Formula LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
Intel Core i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor Model
COOLER MASTER Intel Core i7 compatible V8 RR-UV8-XBU1-GP 120mm Rifle CPU
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000)
CORSAIR CMPSU-750HX 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80
With the potential on your dispose (9x400=3600Mhz) you should not worry. That should be enough for a new card, especially in high resolutions.
Thanks for the info. Well, as luck would be on my side today the package arrived so I am going to start messing with the 5850 once I get the overclock figured out. If anyone can help with a few tips I would sure appreciate it. I've had to set my vcore in BIOS to 1.37. This is because of the vdroop right? This gets it to show 1.35v in BIOS voltage monitoring after a reboot. However, CPUz shows it as 1.36 most of the time. Now, here is what I tried:
e6850@400x9=3.6
vcore=1.40
memory set to 800, 5,5,5,18.
From what I understand I want to set the memory timings as above in order to figure out the CPU limitations. I suspect I need to adjust the other CPU settings for voltage in the BIOS, but not sure what. With the above I booted into Vista and it was fine until I ran Orthos. Orthos stopped on error almost immediately. So I figured I would get my memory set at its rated speed first. Here are my current settings:
e6850@333x9=3.0
vcore=1.37
memory set to 1000, 5,5,5,15,45,2T, 2.1v
Any suggestions or pointers on how to start OC'ing the CPU? Can I keep the memory settings as above or will I have to run them at 800 when OC'ing the CPU? I haven't done any overclocking (quite obviously) since the old Celeron days so please forgive the stupid questions. I will admit I don't know the first thing about doing an OC these days. =) I am going to do some searches on here, but thought I would post in the meantime. I would like to get this 5850 installed and run some benchmarks in case anyone else is thinking of upgrading.

Try to set the following parameters:
CPU@3600 (9x400Mhz)
Memory@1000Mhz
CPU 1.425V-1.475V
DDR2 2.2V-2.4V
MCH 1.33V-1.37V
can anyone direct me to a version on uguru that works with W7? Tried 3109 with no luck and I cant seem to find any links for 3103 which I read somewhere works in W7. Thanks to all that can help
