As an update, I was able to recover from it with the same method I outlined before, I just had to use different modifiers. So ya, no more flashmenu for me LOL

I used a drdflash bootable floppy, then put awdflash and the bios file on the floppy. then in autoexec.bat i used the modifiers /py /sn /cd /cp /cc /cks /R.

really glad I didn't throw away my last floppy drive.

I always keep my floppy around for this reason and this reason alone. Floppy still saves your tail after all these years. Grats on getting it working :up:

well...windows wouldn't allow me to re-install the INF drivers so i couldn't check it out for you...just follow joebar's way and it should work for you...be patient as the drivers install to get your mouse and keyboard back working...you could alyways buy a USB to P/S2 converter to help your self out when this happens again.

You wouldn't happen to know what the name of the thread was called would you, and thanks for trying at least. If it's in this thread then I better get started on that homework of looking.

Tried using search to no avail just yet...

nvm I just grew some old school balls and installed them and my USB ports never went out and the update went smooth. Thanks though and my abit Uguru works now as well..woohoo

Here you go guys.
Sorry I don't have any load temp pics (primed for 24 hours though, max temps was 62c, cpu v in bios is 1.485.)

Interesting, me too, with about 4 different sets of ballistix I got the same 1180 limit. Actually 1150 is my stable limit on any of the ballistix.

Same cr*p here, values don't change in reality.
Need any dumps with different BIOSes ? Let me know ;)

I just picked up an Abit IP35-Pro and got it installed over the weekend, but I’ve been having some trouble with UGuru and the BIOS settings. I updated to the latest official BIOS (9/6/07), but I couldn’t get UGuru 3.104 to work at all on Vista; it would crash immediately upon startup. I installed UGuru 3.105, which works, but I’m having some odd problems with keeping my BIOS. If I manually change any of the BIOS values by hitting delete after POST and save changes, the changes won’t show up after the reboot. However, if I make the same changes in UGuru the changes will save. Unfortunately, this means I can’t change the memory divider or multiplier at all. Anyone else have this problem or have any suggestions for a fix?

You save your changes by hitting f10 and then enter. Delete just gets you into the bios.

Right, but it's not saving changes after making them in the BIOS and hitting F10 + enter to save.

That sounds either like a bad board or bad bios flash, or bad settings & BIOS "self-resets" to the last bootable settings.

I got 6hr of orthos blend last night at 1188 with 475fsb x 8 and then it threw an error! That was with the 1:1.25 ratio and I know the cpu wasn't at fault because it will do 480fsb just fine with the 1:1.20 ratio. Got 12 hr of blend with that. I just bumped my mch up to 1.41 and am trying again now.:up:

This morning I tried so hard to get memtest86+ test 5 to be error free above 475fsb and couldn't do it. Had the doors wide open and 60f in the house with a 10" fan blowing in the case and no go. I bet chilling that NB is the key!:shrug:

I don't want to steer you wrong but we have been seeing a lot of pws issues with the board lately and I'd feel bad if it didn't work out for you.

It's just so hard to tell sometimes and you know it could be the board too. :shrug:
Have you checked the cmos battery? A good one should read 3.3v. Do you have a volt meter?

No lies there, my ocz scared tge crap out of me the day after I got it. I just unplugged all the cords and clear the caps. Then hooked it back up and checked voltages. Green across the board. If you can pick up another psu, a main brand one, even 500+ watts is good and try it out. If it powers and changes work out fine then keep it, if no go then rma the broad back 2 abit. Don't let this hender your decision getting the board as it kicks arse

I guess you don't mind the red warnings? You can disable the fan warning in the bios since it looks like your on water.

I think I'll try that. Unfortunately, if it is the board, I already did the heatsink mod. Will Abit replace it with the bolts, or will I have to put the push pins back in?

Yeah, I think abit would not replace/repair the board if you sent it back to them modded. I could be wrong as I know DFI had an "Approved" aftermarket HSF they endorsed for the old NF4 boards.

Best bet would be to replace it with the original pins, but be prepared in case they figure out that the HS was removed (that does technically void the warranty). :(

Anyways; just try and make the board look just like it did when you popped it out of the box, if you can pull that off; then I say you should be fine. Think nice and shiny :yepp:

I just had a odd question, regarding a possible problem. Whenever I unplug the power cord to the PSU unit and move the computer. When plugging back in the cord my computer won't initially post, but will power up Giving post code 26. I have to unplug the 24-pin power stripe from the motherboard and then also the video power cord, wait 10 secs. then plug it back in and BOOM...he powers on full boot. (He does this even running stock with a cleared CMOS)

I've heard that memtest doesn't work on our updated bios. Just a little stuck on this one.

Inside details:

Bios version: 14
Post Code: 26
Post Code Definition:
1) If Early_Init_Onboard_Generator is not defined Onboard clock generator initialization. (Help )

2) Init onboard PWM (Is this relating to the temps of it?)

3) Init onboard H/W monitor devices (Not finding that my monitor is plugged in)

Other then this issue; Zero is killing it on the charts and in my books. Still on the stock cooler with temps on Load 40-45range and running @ 2.6GHz Orthos/Prime95 stable of 13+hours.

Thanks in advance

IMO revert back to bios 1.1, im still running it on my rig. after reading varing issues on abit's forums. im not touching the bios some of the issues that cropped up are taken care of. seems these later bios's are not quality like the first one.

try different memory if you have it or take the memory down to one stick and try it in different slots...usually no post means not enough voltage either for cpu, memory or video card

I figured out my problem!:banana: I've been trying to run the 8x multi with an E6600 for 3.8gh and ~ddr1200. I guess running a lower multi other than default puts a greater strain on the NB because I have no problem getting ddr1200 with the 9x. No errors!!:up:

the MCH is inside the NB...so...you have to jam volts up both butts!;)

What memory over clocks can you guys get with 4 x 1gigs? I just want to know what others are running.

Yeah I know, but I was jamming it more than I wanted to without much success.
I think I tried up 1.56v for ddr1200 and the 8x multi and it still errored in memtest. 1.37v MCH and no errors for 9x multi and ddr1200.

I think I'm gonna push this at 9x for awhile and see what I can get.

i have problem after flashing beta16 bios.
no display on my mobo and postcode looping. (c1-**-2A-26-2d)
i always use dos to flash my mobo.
i put a right voltage on my mems & proc.
is there any way to force flash the bios?
i already tried clearing the cmos, and remove power cable and the battery for an hour. but still no luck to boot :(


tnx in advance :)

I just updated to bios 14 from abit's site and all is going well except.... uGuru is not reporting my cpu temps correctly... My system and pwm temps are working fine but my cpu temps are stuck at 31c and won't move even while running orthos..

I tried Core Temp and its reporting correct cpu temps idle and full load so it just seems to be uGuru. I'm running the latest version of uGuru 3.1.0.4

damn, that sucks. I just opened up the box on my new IP35 and thought I would start all the prep work and do the HS mod first. And what do I do? I clip those damn pins off. I hope there's nothing wrong with the board. . .

BEWARE NOOB QUESTION: Since I can't see anyone's answer here, what are you doing with the TIM and PAds under the HS? Are you replacing the TIM? Are you taking off the pads? Are you you just adding new screws for better contact?
I think I'm going to replace the TIM with some MX2 I just got, but I'm wondering about the pads. BTW, my pads look like that one in ace-a-rues' 'bad contact' picture.

I have these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ATI-Silencer-3-1...QQcmdZViewItem

but I doubt I'll use them since my pwm temps seem fine.

I'll send you just enough of these for free for the pwm if you test them out and tell me if they are too thick and reduce temps effectively or not: http://cgi.ebay.com/Thermal-Pads-for...QQcmdZViewItem

From what I've been hearing the uGuru on your cd is newer that 3.1.04 and works better.

how did you flash?

do you have a different set of memory to try just in case the memory is the problem?...if not, take it down to one stick and then try.

here is a link, which was posted here in this thread, where you can buy online an IP35 Pro bios chip from abit.

http://www.uabit.com/WebStore/produc...5k3hhu3tquj8f4

i hope the memory swapping out or just one stick resolves your post issue.

I had tried 4x1gb but found that one stick was defective. While it was in RMA, I purchased the 2x2gb G.Skill 5-5-5-15 DDR2-1000 for $189 from Newegg. Much better choice since any board will always like 2 sticks more than 4. I'd jump on the 2x2gb since the speeds and price are damn reasonable.

Will this mod work on IP35 Pro V1.1 ? i tried on my 1.1 but it didn't work. did anyone try on your 1.1 ?

i already resolved the previous postcode issue by replacing new pci-e vc.
i used old pci 8bit vc before, maybe because it was obsolete :D

i tried the latest beta16 bios but the problem is memset 3.4beta2 is not working on it, u can adjust the settings but when u close the apps and run again,the values will return to default settings :(

already tried downgrading many times to official bios12 & 14 but the cpu features & other device settings has been disabled by default. no settings can be adjusted. even all my sata drive cant be enable :(

i flash my mobo thru HD and DOS.
now i revert back to official bios11, all the features works fine, memset works correctly.

if theres a fix or a better way to flash the latest bios please let me know :)
i dont use floppy to flash mobo, thats why i flashed thru HD & DOS.

tnx

Same problem and same issue: I flashed with bios #11 and all work fine. :confused:

I've been able to run 600MHz 4-4-4-4 1T (see pic) with the IP35 Pro, but this ***tty mobo doesn't let me boot at 1280+. The same RAM does superpi 1M at 700MHz 5-5-5-15 with Blitz Formula, so it's a mobo problem.

Too bad, ABIT. :slapass:

you are doing GREAT!...not many can run at DDR1200 at CAS 4.:up:

just placed an order for the abit ip35 pro.....My Ausu P5K died so its out on RMA so i got the abit to replace it.....My question is do I need to touch the voltages on the nb for fsb between 450-490fsb? And any other voltages that need to be upped for this type of oc besides the cpu

I had the problem with values not being applied on my AW9D-Max. Turns out that if I disable Vanderpool technology it won't let me save any values and reverts to a default. I have to have it enabled in bios all the time. I know its not the same board, but its exactly the same symptom, so worth a shot I think. GL :).

Ive got 4X1GB of Gskill @ 8X450 runing most smoothly. I'm unable to get 8X475 to run. Need to use the 9X multi for 3800+Mhz

you might need to increase your MCH to about 1.4x volt range and ICHIO 1.5 to about 1.6v if you are up near 490...at 450, you might be able to keep default.

I run my IP35-E 24/7 at 475 FSB with 5:6 memoryratio, MHC@default, ICHIO 1.5@1.65. If i keep ICHIO at default programs crashing when i boot to windows. Picture

thank you ace-a-rue and jolly

board is on its way prob have it tomorrow

Here are photos of a v1.00 and v1.10. I do not notice a difference.

different caps near the bottom... near the corner look taller?

I can see that the 4 caps near the bottom of the board are taller, and the traces and a couple of chips near the top-most PCI slot are different.

i don't think there is any difference...what i see is shadows being cast by the person who took the image...light conditions, moving the camera slightly and focus can make things look very different!

I've been able to run 600MHz 4-4-4-4 1T (see pic) with the IP35 Pro, but this ***tty mobo doesn't let me boot at 1280+. The same RAM does superpi 1M at 700MHz 5-5-5-15 with Blitz Formula, so it's a mobo problem.

Too bad, ABIT. :slapass:

---

Mind sharing your voltages for that?:clap:

Sure, sorry :)

2,5v set in BIOS.

Thank you. :up: :)

I can't get mine over 600mhz either...I give up on it.:down:

add one more owner to the thread... http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=162123
shipped today... weee! new build approaching this weekend...
Thanks for all the reads here, good stuff... :)

Slight difference between the top PCI-E and PCI slot....
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v150/new-b/v11.png

There's no need to run 1180-1200 to get those kind of Super_Pi results...

Nope, I agree with AstroCreep...boards are def different.
New-b on post #3075 shows the whole area here is different.
The caps being a different size would not warrant a Revision Change.

It is normal for board manufacturers to change the Version Number by a decimal place when there are changes made to the board layout. If they change a surface mounted component, they usually leave the Version number alone & attatch a sticker with a Letter to denote the change. In this case, version 1.1 only has 3 Resistors which means a change in PCB, hence the change in Revision number.

Anyone know why they made this change??

hello guys , is this KIT compatible with board ?

Yes, I would assume so. I have 6 pairs of Ballistix, including Tracers and all of them work fine. I don't have this one but 99% bet it's all the same.

I don't believe that that was anyone's point about trying for over ddr1200 with this board.

i see what you are talking about in resistors in that area but all this could be is refinement..or..just that parts used before are not available or to expensive.

so...what is suppose to be the performance difference between the two boards

i think you are making more out of this than is necessary...changes are made all the time...most times it is done to rectify a grossly inadequate performance issue, vis-a-vis, EVGA's 680i board was horrible for their 1st release...their revision help rectify the 1st release.

the IP35 Pro is an excellent board right from the get-go...the only thing that might be needed to be tweaked is the Vdrop & droop....lets hope that is what the revision is about.

that central chip appears to have changed part nos too.

You could be right, I didn't read the whole discussion… Yet slapping the board and mem around with voltage and cooling to achieve nothing positive, hardly makes sense.

my point!...parts are changed out because of cost factor....a lot of these parts rely on oil (chemical derivative from oil) and since the price for a barrel of oil is shooting up there to $88, it makes sense that abit has to change parts vendor.

Hurray for sharp eyes.

I added closeup pictures of the clock chips on the v1.00 and v1.10 PCBs http://picasaweb.google.com/gibson.e...0AndV110Photos

Haven't had much time to play with this setup but it may be worth keeping... :) :)

Guys, sorry, but which version of setfsb works with this mainboard????

heh was about to post the news on the revision, looks like yall beat me too it.

anyone have one of these new ones? from what i see its a mild change with a few caps. Wonder if droop is somewhat better+ better 4g stability.

someone post up if they pick one up

Congratulations:up: 1st I've seen over 600mhz for ddr on the board. How many volts did you throw at the mch, cpu vvt and ddr2? Did you run memtest86+ with that memory setting?

A friend @ ABIT did clear things up about new REV 1.1, its better clocking [may be due to Clockgen] and few minor enhancements to stablize and get better performance :)

Vcore @1.5175 - DDR@2.35 - MCH@1.37... Didn't run memtest, ran ORTHOS for an hour just play around. :)

Thanks, I've tried those but my board just won't go over ddr1186. Your's wouldn't happen to be a v1.1?

Nope, 1.0.

got mine from the egg today v1.1 with 14 bios.
nice mobo so far.

hmmmm...keep us posted on your overclocking results.

would someone mind posting the raid drivers for win xp.. Not the link to the floppy creator because im going to slipstream them into the install, so i need the exact ones.

IP35Pro Rev 1.1 any confirmation about clockgen or setFSB support ? Please !!!

Yes!!!. I just successfully routed a micro NTC thermistor from Mcshane thermistors between the 775 pins and directly under my 6850 making contact with the bottom of the cpu. It's accurate to +/- 1.0c. Just as I suspected, despite this talk of T-Junction, Coretemp .94 is correct at load temps (within 2c) and Uguru was always incorrect reporting almost 10c higher.
Although both Uguru and bios seem to be right on when not at full load. Right now under Orthos, the probe is reporting 70.1c with Cortemp at 71c and Uguru at 77c .
The response rate is of corse slower because it's not actally touching the die and heat has to disperse under the cpu first. Seems to be about a 1 minute lag up to 65c from coretemp and slightly longer after that. But even above 65c, its usually very close to coretemp. I need to check more to check the rise temp against fall temps and baselines to see the full scale of it.

abit UK say that it was purely for manufacturing reasons & that there should be no performance difference ... :shrug:
