ace,
why do you run a lower multiplier and higher memory speed what is the benefit vs 424 x9? other than extra bios options what would a bios update do for me?
man,
i can run good on 3.8 but it seems im not entirely stable. when i run bioshock(pc game) i play good but get random reboots not a lot though.it could be because of the game though. When i run 3d mark im good till i get to the cpu load test then i get reboots(using free 3dmark version) but runs fine at 3.6 gigahertz. heres my voltages...
" GO" step
ichio 1.55
cpuvtt 1.31
ich 1.0
ref 0
ddr2 2.1 volt tried up to 2.3
vcore at 1.55 with uguru showing 1.5 fluctuating ive tried up to 1.59 with uguru showing1.55 vcore
my pwn temps depending on volts are anywhere from 41c or lower up to 48c idle
i have done the bolt mod and im using more volts than you fyi
my memory is pc 6400 ddr2 800 g.skill gbhz 2 gig and its set to auto running a 4/5 ratio at 502 freq 5-5-5-15 2t. I did read you said i should be at a 1:1 ratio maybe thats teh problem hmm got any suggestions for an oc newb to find sability anything else i can raise up other than vcore?
i got this mobo and it works great so far....just one issue when I plug in my headphones there is a weird noise kinda disturbing but when i switch back to speakers it goes away? I have the latest drivers installed and using vista home premium 32 bit...For the headphones i am using the front jack of my p182
might be your bios setting for the Audio front plug-in...without looking, i can't remember if their is a setting between HD and AC97 specs.Quote:

ace,
why do you run 8x 480 instead of 424x9? how would a lower multiplier benefit you? thanks for the help btw:)
Bandwidth.
I just got my IP35 pro into a new case, cooler master cm 690, and I've also done a heat pipe mode using MX-2 and about 10Lbs of pressure on the sinks. I'm now ready to raise the voltages but not sure what the max is. here is what I have so far:
cpu: 1.48 bios
mem: 2.175
mch: 1.33
ichio:1.55
cpu vtt: 1.23
ich: 1.12
I'm trying to reach 3.6Ghz ++ I see a lot of people setting the cpu volts in the bios to 1.5+. My cooling can handle that but not sure if its safe for 24/7. Also I think increased MCH will help but not sure whats safe for 24/7. Any help would be appreciated.
well i seem to be using more volts to try and stabilize at 3.8 when i run p95 torture test my temps skyrocket they go from around 39c core temp to above 65c. I think i wanna stabilize at 3.6 with lower temps.
any idea at 3.6 what the mch.ichio,cputvtt,ich base volts i should start with and work my way up to stability?
your mch looks fine the other one you need to bump up since your using a quad core is the "CPUGTL %" in the bios. up both of those to around 70-75%, if the cpu is unstable with the %'s that high. then bump the MCH volts some more then start at 70% CPUGTL.Quote:

Right now I might need to reinstall the os. When I run prime, abit eq, core temp, 2 cpuzs, and open paint to save a screen shot pc crashes. Even at much lower settings that I've primed 12 hours, gamed, and dled many torrents 24/7 without crashes. I'll bump up those setting you mentioned. I'm such a newb I don't know what they do. Are there any pages that explain what all these settings do? It used to be easy to understand. Thanks for the help.
EDIT: Ey yeah something isn't right cuz I primed 6 hours then played graw for 3 and then primed for 7 hours. Then I turned prime off and when I started paint my pc crashed. Beside that are people post there voltages in the bios or the voltage that shows up on abit eq? I have mine set to 1.5 in the bios now but abit eq says its 1.45. I assume this is safe. Also if I bump up my CPUGTL % Do I need to lower my cpu vtt?
I wouldnt worry about the CPUGTL%. From my experience, there is little gain. IMHO, work on MCH/vCore/vDDR, those are the most impacting for your oc.Quote:

I had a suspicion that it was cpu-z. But I checked and I'm using 1.41. Could still have the bug though. I'll try to take a screen without it.
EDIT: Here it is.
http://www.digitalmediaxtremes.com/ebay/scrn1-3.6.jpg
CPU-z 1.41 hard locks my system randomly also.
cpu-z also locks up my system randomly im on bios that shipped with mobo.
In the cpuz config file set sensor to OFF. It won't read the vcore correctly anymore but wont lock your system up.;)
Their working on fixing the problem.
http://forum.x86-secret.com/showthre...285#post108285
when i open the older version cpuz in idle conditions, i would get random lockups...when i upgraded to cpuz 1.41, i was ok opening it in idle conditions...the only problem was when i was P95 and then trying to open it while P95...in that particular condition, it froze on me...the way around for me was to leave it open and minimize it to the taskbar...then, i would open and run P95...doing that didn't freeze my puter.
I have CPU-Z 1.41 and it will lockup my system if I have it open for too long. (1min - 5min)Quote:

If your e6600 is fine on other boards at those speeds 24/7 than this board will handle it.Quote:

Ace,
about the bolt mod it has worked great for me but my pwn temp is still a little higher than id like so i took off the heatpipes to take alook and im making contact on alll the mosfets. i am wondering if i would be better off applying some as5 on the bottom of the heatpipe WITHOUT the little rubber pad that comes on the heatpipe? is this a bad idea removing the rubber pieces on the heatpipe?
i removed the 2 rubber pads under the NB and PWM heatsink and applied Ceramique...that paste has only a 2C difference between AS5...AND...Ceramique is totally non-conductive not unlike AS5 which under extreme pressure can be conductive.Quote:

That relates to a question I have. after applying the MX-2 and some 10Lbs springs on the heat pipes my NB only gets warm with two high powered 40mm fans on it. Should I bump my ichio up to 1.65 to attempt getting my memory stable at ddr2 1200.
Well 4 cores are harder to mantain stable so im guessing my E6600 will be ok! and what do u mean by the cpu and ram, im used to only nvidia boards since my first build so i dont know exactly the relation between cpu and ram on intel i know its dif but not exactly how :S:PQuote:

Also, while in Vista 64-bit and doing my usual work for a few hours, the hard drive will just disappear. Sometimes it causes Vista to crash. When the hard drive is not detected on boot-up, everything operates extremely slow. I'd say it takes almost 5x longer for Vista to boot up. This hard drive only has some games and other program files. My other hard drive has Vista on it. I still have the same problems with NO OC and with add voltage to both CPU and RAM. I use Optomized Defaults.
Is there anyway to check if the hard drive itself is faulty? I'm not sure if it's the hard drive or the motherboard.
I'm using the 11 BIOS which brings me to my next problem. I have the Razer Tarantula USB keyboard and I cannot type anything while booting up. I can use it while within the BIOS but say when I want to type "runme.bat" in order to upgrade the BIOS from a bootable USB drive, I get nothing. This has essentially stopped me from flashing a new BIOS. I'm afraid to try and flash the BIOS while within Vista.
The hard drive was working fine for about 3 weeks (the entire time from initial new purchase) but has just recently given me troubles.
Thanks guys!
thank you for the connection.:D ;)Quote:

What DDR2 REFERENCE VOLTAGE does? Does it help at high fsb benches?
I have officially given up on my qwest for a stable 3.6 with my Quad. It is on of the low vid (1.2125) models and I have decided that it just does not like the voltage required for the 50% overclock. I can keep Prime or Orthos stable at anything under 1.4825 and any MCH below 1.5 or so but that will only get just a 3.4 speed. Those settings will last up to 3 hours in Prime before it just shuts off. Trying any higher voltages and it just crashes faster. I have decided that ONCE AGAIN, I have gotten one of the runts of the litter when it comes to chips. I will now sit back and wait on January.
i presume you did my mod and applied some fans to the PWM and NB?...AND...did you remove the TIM pad?...i do not recommend using that pad since it is probably not the best transfer medium for heat...use MX2, Ceramique with last choice being AS5.

Does anyone know if it is at all possible to use the motherboard on-board optical SPDIF input to pass the signal over to a PCI X-Fi sound card?
I want to route an optical out sound signal via the on board Soundcard for 5.1 surround sound
Any ideas or advice would be appreciated.
You should benchmark your computer to see the difference between 3.4-5 stable and 3.6-8 unstable. You'll be surprised to see that an unstable computer won't do much better than the lower clocked cpu that is stable. That has been my experience.
I'm building a new Intel core 2 duo IP35 Pro system. I have booted from a Flash Drive and flashed to the latest BIOS.
It worked great.
I installed an unformated SATA HDD
in SATA port 1. I installed a Samsung SH-SH182D CD/DVD burner
in the IDE Port. When I start the system, it gets to the "detecting IDE drives" then it lists my HDD drive model in SATA 1 and the other 5 SATA ports blank, which is correct. It then goes to the next page
and lists (in a green color) "0DD0 TSST CD/DVD SH182". I'm not sure why the green color and what the 00D0 means. When I go into
BIOS I can't find any reference to any IDE drives at all. I'm trying
to change the boot order to my Samsung CD/DVD so I can install windows. In the boot order part of BIOS the only CD ROM that is possible to choose is USB CD ROM. What do I need to do to get this done? Thanks for any help
Hi there.
I have had my Abit IP35-pro for about a month now with an Ubuntu 7.10 setup and sometimes programs suddenly close (firefox in particular) and today I had a hard lock (freeze) on the system. Here are the specs
Mobo : Abit IP35-Pro with bios 11
Cpu core voltage Bios : 1.4850 gives 1.45 reading in the voltage monitoring. Is this correct or is it way off?
DDR2 Voltage = 2.150 (Running 4X1gb Crucial Ballistix 6400 sticks)
CPU VTT 1.2V = 1.23
MCH 1.25V = 1.37
ICH 1.05V = 1.09
ICHIO 1.5v = 1.55V
Memory timmings are : 5-5-5-12, auto, auto, auto, auto, auto, 1T, V.1.0a, Disabled, PCI Slot
All "Cpu features" are disabled
The cpu is a c2d 6300 running at 500X7. Memtest runs fine for 24 hours with no errors and i have tested with cpu burn-in program from ubuntu for at least 3 hours and had running also some high definition movies.
Cooling is done by a TR Ultra 120 lapped. The c2d6300 is also lapped. Idle temps in bios are 38-39 celcius
System runs on a hyper typer-R 580watt and a Fortron 300w only for the GPU (8800gts)
Anyone got any recommendations as to what could be the fault here?
Thanks for any replies
P.S : Ace, glad to see you again in the forums :)
Ace if this was for me, yes I did the mod on the second board. Although I did re-use the TM pad on the PMW area. Unlike the first board I had 12 indentions in this pad. The temps are only a few decrees hotter than the first board that had Ceramique there. But my overclock results are exactly the same as the first board. Try to use higher voltages to get above 3.4 or so and things just shut down. I can run up to 3.0 at 1.2125. 3.2 takes 1.3125. 3.4 takes 1.4125 for Prime. Up to 1.4825 will hold Prime until the 32k tests, usually. Any higher vCore and the shut downs come much quicker. That is why I think it is the chip itself, 3.4 is just the limit for this one. different motherboards, 2 sets of Crucial, and 3 different psu's, all with the same results, 3.4 ghz. Now if someone wants to send me a different Quad to test my theory :shrug:Quote:

you need to be aware that this board has given users some headaches when using four sticks of memory...other boards do the same.
how about the TRUE 120; did you lap it?Quote:

Thanks Ace!!! I'm at work now. I will try those settings and report back.
Forgot to add that the PW area temp stays around 52 Celcius with the settings I have posted.
4gb's of ram are picky i know :mad: I'll try to stabilize the board by doing your mod and sinking some parts of the board
Again thanks :up:
I should get my IP35 Pro tomorrow! Been holding off for a while now but seems like the right board to get. (I haven't had an Abit mob since SlotA lol)
Plan on oc a Q6600 w/ 4GB (4x1GB) on water. Will post my clock when I get it setup.

Please report back on how the 4X1gb overclock went when you get the board up and running. Be sure to give detailed info on timmings and bios voltage settings :DQuote:

Hello. I have this problem with ABIT IP35pro. I can install WIN XP PROFI SP2 from INSTALL CD. In BIOS I see my 2x250Gb MAXTOR SATA1 HDDs. ACHI is disabled (IDE mode enabled).

you need to partiton the drives...formatting is not required, just make them into a primary partition and make sure one of them is set to "active".Quote:

Yes, it is lapped. Big rubber washer used in the mount and it is solid as if bolted directly. When I get MCH above 1.5 and ICHIO above the corresponding step, forget actual voltage, it is just like getting vCore above 1.4925. It just makes the shutdowns come faster. The Quad just doesn't seem to like higher voltages. One thing I found while trying Orthos instead of Prime is when using only 2 cores 3.6 is no problem. Change to the other 2 and 3.6 is still no problem. Just cannot get it to use all 4 at that speed. I am open for suggestions.Quote:

Good Luck.
neller's problem is the drive...it is not partitioned and set to be active...this has happened to several guys in this forum including myself...the bios is set to 'auto' and as long as he does not fool with that setting, the board will recognize the drive in the proper format.
I left the pad on the PMW area but used Ceramique on the NB and SB. It was an experiment to see any difference between the pad and Ceramique, which I used on the first IP35-Pro I had. I will probably change it out as the temps are not as low. I had read in this thread how some were doing the bolt mod but using the pad so I tried it to see the results.Quote:

I have seen this scenario crash a Prime stable AMD system before. Encoding went off without a hitch. I then ran 30+ minutes of rFactor without a hickup. Maybe I am putting too much emphasis on Prime for my situation.
i would recommend removing the pad from the PWM and use a good thermal paste...my 1st choice would be ceramique but you do what you think is the best for your system.
as for prime 95 or orthos...i just read a post where this guy built this overclock system for another person and before he sent to him, he ran it for 24 hours on orthos without a hiccup...but...after the guy used it and went to move it to another location, it would not post at all....he thought he had built a solid system that was fool proof...my point is, and i think you understand now, that prime 95 or orthos guarantees you nothing....SO...why bother unless you are going to fold 24/7...there i see prime 95 or orthos might prove to be a valuable tool...but...that is the only one that comes to my mind.
Just got the ip-35 pro today and i got the damn C1 error, reseated the memory and moved it around for a good hour and still cant get it to boot.
i dont have another stick so im screwed.

thats if the memory really is the problem.
My IP35 Pro is on its way from Clubit! Should i be using BIOS 11 or 14. Im planning on doing the bolt mod leaving the TIM pads in place. I have a Thermaltake Armor Case with a 25CM side intake fan. Do you think I still need the the 40mm fans for the NB and Mosfet area
I will the first chance I get. I want to put my other 2 sticks of Crucial back in anyway. Sounds like a Sunday AM job.Quote:

But How come the the lowest Vcore voltage I could go is 1.3125 ?
Aren't that too high ? Even or 3.2GHz ?
How do you adjust it lower ?
Thanks in advance ! :up:

Does anyone know if that ram is compatible with the IP35-Pro board or should I just get some of these?

Basically, I'm looking for memory that I don't need to screw around with. Just plug it in and go. No C1 errors or fiddling with a cheap stick to get the system up and running. Thanks for the help...

that is the VID of your cpu so it will only allow that to be the lowest...my VID for my Q6600 is 1.275v...that is my lowest selection.Quote:

what's a "blot" mod?Quote:

Ahhh .... so the lower the VID you got,Quote:

Small problem: My fan controling in BIOS doesnt work:-( Please show my your BIOS settings (FAN CONTROLING PAGE)-thanks guys.
Ahhh, so the Vid doesn't really matter.Quote:

Is there anything wrong ? :confused:
Though No error is shown on Prime (I checked Round off checking)
NOTE: I clocked CPU at 3.2 (356x9), with 1.3325 Vcore.
Is there any talk of Xtreme front side bus OCing in this thread I'd like to hit 500Mhz. right now I'm at 465. Definitely can feel the difference between. 395 x 9 and 465 x 7. What should I up to go further.
MCH @ 1.41
ICHIO @ 1.6
EDIT: thats funny now in windows it says I'm doing 465 x 9. What a glitch.
EDIT #2: and coretemp says I'm doing 597 x 7. I'm just an amazing OCer.
Anyone have an Answer ? Anyone ?Quote:

But no error is shown on Prime though ?
Coretemp says I'm 600 x 6 on x64 Vista. :rofl:Quote:

For example, my Q6600 has almost a .06V vdroop during load which makes an effect 1.44V if I select 1.50V in BIOS.
You can safely start at 1.40V and work your way up from there. You may need to increase other voltages as well as you increase your OC.

I have the bolt mod installed and 2 40mm fans, one on the NB and the other on the PWM. Honestly, the 40mm fans push so little air that I'm not even sure it's doing anything. I know my CPU tuniq tower 120 heatsink is doing the majority of cooling on the PWM and not the silly 40mm. It's your choice. Your 25CM likely puts out a lot of air flow so if it's directly over the PWM or NB heatsinks, then I don't believe you will need any additional fans.
As for my PWM, it gets bloody hot even with a 40mm fan and the bolt mod installed. After 1 hour of Prime95, my PWM will be over 80C!! It's unreal.
when one core drops off line and you have only a 75% overclock, it means your Vcore is not high enough to support the P95 event.Quote:

Guess they just have a better chip ? :confused:
