Abit IP-35-E

Bought a abit ip35-e since i wanted the new p35 chipset.
I got a bad old 6600 who dont like overklocking at all, i need 1.58vcore to go 3.2ghz.

However, the board works fine, seems stable after I found out to use 9x multipel, got issues trying to use other multiples, wouldnt boot.
Using Vista atm and the boot up are the best yet I have had with any intel boards. (previous asus p5b-deluxe and a giga S3)

I went for the board due to it being cheap and had overclocking potential.
so far, it seems really nice, I am using watercooling, the abit eq program to run fans is a nice touch, it lowers the noise without having to resort to a 3party solution, its a nice feature.

I am waiting to get a e6750 to really try to see what this board can do.

So far, really pleased with the board.

mine has a huge v-droop, 1.59 set in bios, in windows cpu-z- reads 1.55.. need a vdroop mod.. also any one know where teh measure points are? btw thx for teh bios link

I wouldn't call 4/100 of a volt a huge vdroop. I've seen a lot worse.

do you have a quad? thats pretty good for a quad, i've seen others with quads with larger vdroop.

Im running my e6600@ 3.65ghz 1.43 folding on it love this board.

nope e6600.. with a op1000... looking for a full set of vmods... once i find it all ill start vmodding... coz this is my folding and daily rig.. so i cant really have a long down time... rather do it at one time..

Hey,guys,I have good news...:)
The official BIOS 13 is released here.

BIOS ID:13


1. Decrease the reboot times when adjusting BIOS.
2. Enhanced the IEEE1394 performance.
3. Add AC97 item under front Audio.
4. Support Wolfdale/Yorkfield Processor.
5. BIOS compiled date: 09/28/2007.

Enjoy it,I can say one thing,it's faster than BETA11 when gaming SuperPI. :cool:
E4300@3006(default voltage),XMS2 4x512MB,5-5-5-15@802(1.95V)

Thanks! I assume no double boot, like the beta 13? Always good to see a bit more speed.

No double boot,of course...And ready for Penryn. ;)

I still see an increase of 0.3 sec with 1M Super Pi using the 13 BIOS.

Why does it say improved 1394 when there isn't even any 1394 ports on it?

IP35-E and IP35 shares the same BIOS.

Thanks for the alert. I will be flashing it in shortly.

thats good news.... will flash tonight... :)

Let's take it out for a spin. :D

just flashed the new bios... using the flashmenu program... seems to be working fine... :) havent test anything yet...

Do you feel confident that flashmenu program works well? I'm having problems with my IP35-E (posted in the IP35-e problems thread) and my initial BIOS flashes were done with the flashmenu program, but I'm not sure it worked correctly.

Also, any vDroop mods found yet?

flashmenu to me looks unsafe but ive flashed three times using it and so far np... sometimes it looks like its stuck, but u just have to wait it out.. im also looking for vdroop mods... a confirmed one

hey guys just read through this thread and gotta say im starting to like this board. anyways im looking for a new board to replace my evga 680i (too many rma's and problems) i think this board might be it. so anyone recommend it? my specs are in my sig and yes i do plan on overclocking. thx

So.... any vdroop mods? I notice it as well and it makes setting stable voltage very hard.

The mod should be about the same as the -pro version?

Nope...both use very similar design, but the pin connections are different with IP35-E.

Bump. Did they pull the Bios 13? Its no where to be found all of a sudden.

Maybe this is the reason why you cant find it:

Couple of days ago i flashed my IP35-E with 1.3 bios, and i had some strange problems with my system, stange freezeup and so on. Then i realize from some reason my memoryvoltage was locked to 1.93, and increasing this from bios didnt help at all, it was still locked to 1.93. Reflashing didnt help, so i flashed 1.2 and now it works. I hope that ABIT can fix this

I've had no problem using flashmenu under windows Vista x64. I'd highly advise you return your CPU to stock speed and load your BIOS default settings before you flash. Doing it that way, for me, it's been so far so good.
