IP35 Pro with e6300 runs great
This is my first from scratch build in a few years. I got the e6300 (L625A705, packed 7/06) last year and ran it on an 865 chipset board until I decided on the IP35 Pro. I'm glad I waited. I almost bought a 965 chipset board earlier but the memory prices scared me away. Once memory prices dropped I waited for the 35 chipset to arrive. I've suffered bad customer support with ASUx in the past and really wanted to avoid purchasing any of their products again. I've had a number of ABIT boards in the past and have never had a problem with them and this IP35 Pro is no exception. With less than a day of tweaking I've gotten this to combination to run at 3.45 ghz in orthos for 8 hours. It did fail after 3 hours of Orthos at 3.5 ghz. I could increase my cpu core voltage past 1.42 but I'm a little wary. Maybe later. Here are the specifics:
IP35 Pro, BIOS F10
e6300, L625A705, pack date 7/22/2006 @ 1.42 volts
Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, arctic silver, scythe sflex @1500 rpm pushing
Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500, 2x1gb @ 1:1 ratio, 2.2 volts
NB voltage increased to 1.37 at 3500mhz, 1.33 at 3450mhz.
Stable orthos > 8 hrs at 3450 mhz with memory @ 4,4,4,12. Super PI < 16 sec. with 1M calculation.
Orthos ran for over 3 hrs at 3500 mhz with memory relaxed. Screen shot included if i can figure how to post it. I think it will post but I've had to use a low quality jpg. Hopefully you can read it.
If anyone has suggestions to increase stability let me know.
Thanks

I wonder why the Intel 82566 physical (PHY) interface is not used in more motherboard designs since the ICH9R contains an ethernet media access controller (MAC).
The only board makers I can find using the ICH9+82556DC for ethernet are Intel and ECS.
