looking at your specs in your above post i see a mulitude of hard drives attached...i've heard a few instances of people having trouble with the Raptor drives geting recognized...might want to try swapping out sata cables to see if the helps.Quote:

+1 on that recommendation...hence I still got my $4 P/S2 keyboard & $6 P/S2 mouse. Tried the USB KB but never got into it, wife has it now.:rolleyes:Quote:

advance thanks
if you are not doing Raid on the Intel chipset, you can use almost any port...but...if you are doing raid, use ports 5 or 6 for the DVD sata drive
So I went ahead and cleared the bios out with the battery out for a half hour, come back fire it up and uguru is still not displaying the proper vcore options. So I uninstall uguru, download 3.107 from Ace's link on the previous page and install it. But when i go to About for uguru it says its still 3.103?! The folder and installer both clearly stated it was 3.107, did i screw up the uninstall or something? Should i try to reflash the official 16 bios again to get the vcore options to show up properly?
I've heard there's a beta 17 somewhere, maybe I should play with that for a while?
Thanks a much Ace :up:Quote:

I've applied for the cross shipping option with Abit, so it's going to cost me about $50 in total to get this replaced. I hope I'm not wasting mine or Abit's time and money.
I wish I knew what happened to cause this problem. I'd like to make sure it doesn't happen again.
I've been working on setting up a Q6600 with 4x1gb memory on the Abit board and just noticed something during an OCCT run ...
http://img237.imageshack.us/img237/7...em400x9pe8.jpg
I got so use to the 45nm CPUs reporting I was surprised to see the temps flip on the Q6600 with the mobos monitoring temps lower than Coretemp. Unless someone tells me different, I'm inclined to believe the mobo monitoring. :confused:
How's the PWM temp when using a C2Q running at stock?
A friend of mine needs to build a workstation-class system (wants a quad & 8GB RAM, or a server board with 12GB...but due to budget will probably go for the former option), and while I love this board with my Duo, I'd hate to recommend it for him if he needs to do the bolt mod.
Thanks!
where is this "About"...i looked for it in my Uguru installation and i couldn't find it.Quote:

don't forget Uguru is NOT going to give you spot Vcore settings...there is going to be an error difference....i.e., i have about 0.07v difference between what is displayed as 'set' in "OC Guru" and what is actual...i doubt abit will ever get it to be totally accurate or within 0.01v difference.
if he is staying at stock speeds and voltages, he should be fine.Quote:

Yeah, thanks Ace-a-Rue. I know this setting well, because I run this system on a Mac Mini with a KVM that usually only works with the BIOS setting in the USB option. What was weird was that I was trying a different bios (12) from 14&16 which were giving me problems, but then 12 ran into a whole slew of stuff.Quote:

I finally was only able to flash the bios after hooking a ps/2 keyboard up, and hooking up only a usb flash drive which the bios found by default with no sata drives hooked up.
The Nvidia drivers were borked, and only 1 of my 3 monitor worked. In the device manager, no display adapters were showing, and I could not install the 8800 Ultra (running 2 monitors), and the 8600 GT (running 1 monitor). It said in the device properties that "access was denied" and I could not install the drivers even through enabling the administrator account. It finally worked in safe mode under the admin account, and now everything is peachy.
Hi guys. Im trying to reach 3.6ghz on my q6600 but prime not stable and occt not stable as well. Super pi crashing too. At 3.4 works fine.
Try to push vcore to 1.47 at bios but show less vcore at Vista and less vcore on load testing.
Vdimm set to 2.0v. All other voltages are stock. Memo running 5-5-5-18-2t
So, should i change any chipset voltage or cpu VTT voltage?
And the new bios v16 will help ?:confused:
Also, i try to find how to mount a cooler blowing the pwms, how you guys do it?:shrug:
tks in advance.
Bios = Latest official release - 16.Quote:

hi again guys:up:
Just sharing my ugly experience, but i think good results.
I was worried about my pwm temp, and i saw ace post about cooling better the pwms with the 40mm fan. Since i had a spare 80mm fan and im lazy to do the job and go buy an 40mm one i start to fit an 80mm fan blowing near the PWM.
Here is the pictures how i done. Is pretty ugly(i can live with), not organized and clean as ace post, but is an alternative:
In the end PWMS temp idle : from 53-55C to 39C
full: from 61-65 to 44-48C

You can't change it on the IP35 pro AFAIK. Even Memset won't work.Quote:

Although I've got some tight timings, I still can't get stable past 3.8Ghz (yes I tried 5-5-5-15 T2). I was hoping the RAM was holding me back.:(
Hey Ace-a-Rue this board is capable of running run @ 500 x (6-9) correct?

You won't be able to push 500 fsb with a 65nm quad. I believe the Q6600's max out on FSB in the 460-480 range on this board. I'm not sure if that holds true for other boards as well.Quote:

So, great story -- after finally dialing in my 24/7 stable overclock and nailing down the voltages that I wanted, I turned down the fans to a more reasonable level and have noticed that I have the dreaded high frequency noise resonating from somewhere on my IP35 Pro. Even worse, I plugged studio headphones into the rear audio port and can hear HORRIBLE electrical interference coming from the board.
A few things I've learned about the problem:
1) Changing my PSU (Seasonic S12 650W) out with a Seasonic S12 550W didn't help the problem at all -- possibly a problem with Seasonic PSU's & the IP35 Pro, but doubtful.
2) Manipulating the PS/2 port with my finger alters the frequency of the sound, but doesn't eliminate it.
3) Unscrewing and re-seating the motherboard doesn't help.
4) The sound is clearly coming from around the PWM area.
5) Reducing my overclock back to stock frequencies/voltages didn't help.
6) Disabling C1E/EIST, onboard audio, both ethernet ports, and pretty much every other feature on the board that can be adjusted in BIOS didn't help.
7) Changing my BIOS from 16 beta 04 to release 16 didn't help.
8) The sound changes in intensity based on CPU load -- setting my G9 mouse up to a polling rate of 1000 makes it much more intense anytime I move the mouse.
9) I stopped by home this afternoon and tested for the presence of this interference and high frequency resonance in the system I built for my parents a few months ago, which features an IP35 Pro w/ an E6400 overclocked to 3.44 Ghz (and the 550W Seasonic PSU that I "borrowed") -- their system has no interference issue... plugging my studio headphones into the rear jack yielded sweet, dead silence...
10) So even if I can find a way to kill the high frequency sound, the interference is still there and that's the real problem.
So, is the interference I'm experiencing unique to my IP35 Pro (or a small % of bad ones), or are there other things causing the interference that I haven't explored yet.
The only other thing that comes to mind is my 8800GT SSC -- but I haven't been able to find any other people with major interference problems from it.
I would just RMA it, but others with this issue claimed that it wasn't corrected by the RMA, and Abit's policy towards advanced RMA's is awful (they take a $157 deposit, make you pay $15 for shipping the refurbished board to you, and then will MAIL you a check for $150 when you send the board back...), so I might as well just buy a new board and sell my IP35 Pro (or RMA and then sell it).
Opinions/advice?
I was able to get 476fsb bench stable for a q6600 but that was the absolute wall for that cpu.
I can't get past 425 FSB.:mad:
forget about going past 3.8 ghz Prime 95 stable; not unless you have a Vapo unit.Quote:

I feel comfortable feeding 1.5175v in BIOS because HWMonitor tells me that the chip itself is never getting more than 1.48v maximum, and that occurs very rarely because I have EIST & C1E enabled (which works if you choose the 400x9 overclock, though likely not at 450 mhz FSB) -- so most of the time my chip is just getting 400x6 and 1.38v.
So if I were you, I'd turn C1E & EIST on, set your OC to 400x9, and up the voltage in the BIOS. If your small fft load temps start eclipsing 71 degrees, your cooling is the limiting factor. I had to lap my Q6600 and tuniq tower in order to keep my prime95 load temps under 70.
I have some complaints about this board, but Q6600 G0 overclocking potential (and stability at high OC's) is certainly not one of them.
What's the VID on your Q6600?
YesQuote:

I figure if I can't go over 3.8Ghz, I'll have the fastest 3.8 there is!
Dam Ram Tootin'!
To update on the IP35 Pro's awful high frequency whining, I was able to minimize the problem by changing my Vista power settings (high performance made the CPU run at 100% all the time).
So I've isolated the problem to occuring only under high loads. I have a feeling that a different motherboard (or even another IP35 Pro) may not have this issue, but I've seen a million similar complaints from people with laptops/desktops of various builds, etc. so I guess it's common.
What is more disturbing to me is the fact that my parents' IP35 Pro doesn't have the same EMI problems that mine does (audible via the onboard audio). So I guess I can either keep the board and buy a sound card and live with the buzzing under high CPU load... or go with a new board altogether (maybe a DFI Lan Party) and hope the problem was just my IP35 Pro.
Anyone else out there hearing this buzzing under load?
Yes done the mod first day i bought the board. Actually with 1.51+ vcore i expect high temps but if the was no vdroop it would be stable at 1.43V which temps would be better overall. So mainly vdroop is my problem and cannot change unless h/w mod the board which i am not capable of doing!Quote:

I could do what you say but then i would have low memory b/w plus high latencies. My goal ofr 24/7 is the following
occasionally a board shows up with that noise...it is generally the choke coils were not filled with enough silcone or has pockets without silcone...the silcone is used to keep the coils from vibrating under heavy load on the cpu...i would say to RMA the board back to the retailer if you can.Quote:

It turns out that neither the IP35 Pro nor the IX38 are good overclockers for massive voltages from 65nm quad cores, and the PWM can't handle the stress involved in most cases.
Unfortunately, it has been over 30 days since I bought the board from Newegg, so a replacement/refund from them is not an option, and I don't trust that I wouldn't just as easily overload the PWM of the replacement either... so I'm going to buy a replacement board and RMA this Abit IP35 Pro and sell it to a friend who wants to build a cheap E8400 rig with it.
It's a shame because the IX38 has a spectacular MIR right now on newegg, but I think I'm just going to get the more expensive DFI P35 T2R and deal with it now (some users have written about how their 3.6 Ghz Q6600 overclocks have killed the 5-phase PWM in the IX38 as well) -- it includes 8-phase digiital PWM, which I think is necessary to keep a Q6600 stable at 3.6 Ghz for the long haul.
I love everything else about the IP35 Pro, but I should have been more attentive to its ever-increasing vDroop as a sign of mine dying (my load vDroop is now 0.09-0.1v). Oh well... I would recommend it unquestionably for anyone looking to OC any Core 2 Duo.
Really sucks about the board. I think a broad qualifying statement about the board's ability to handle 65nm quads is grossly inaccurate. You fried the mosfets, major suckage but it sounds like you may have had a flawed board from the start. I found immediately that that area of the board in particular needs special cooling attention. Contact was poor and I consider the pad useless. My ip35-pro has run a q6600@3600 100% load nonstop crunching WCG since I set it up and I have no reason to believe it won't continue to do so for a good long time. Vdroop is a fact, I have it but it's not out of the range of any other board I run. I'm quite satisfied and may add another quad cruncher built around ip35-pro simply because of the simplicity and stability.
I don't mean to make a broad statement, but what I mean to say is that there's evidence from a few users who have had the PWM hissing/death from multiple IP35 Pro/IX38 boards -- hardly what anyone would consider proof or even a reasonable study, but enough to make me consider that if I want to build a rig that will last 3 years with a strong 24/7 overclock of my Q6600, I better go with something that has a 6 or 8-phase PWM, preferably digital.Quote:

I originally had set my Q6600 to 1.5175 in BIOS, which was coming out as about 1.45-1.46v under Prime 95 small fft load. After all of the stress testing I did, by the end that same 1.5175v was reading as 1.42-1.43v. Same BIOS the whole time (16B04). The hissing has all gotten worse, and when I put my ear up to the board I can hear a lower frequency hum (note that I'm now running at stock speeds/volts again, but the hissing is still audible at idle now). I found an IX38 thread on a forum where a few quad core users were experiencing the same phenomena and reported that Abit technical support suspected the PWM's had fried.
I wondered why I hadn't heard the hissing sound the first week I had the board when I had my case open and it should have been readily audible to me -- I can only suspect that I didn't hear it then because the PWM's were fine then.
I would have confidence that I could do a re-build of my IP35 Pro and it would probably be fine, but I think I stand a better chance with DFI's LT P35 T2R and the 8-phase digital PWM. It'll be my first DFI board. Now I hope I don't kick myself for having skipped getting the IX38 or Asus Maximus Formula and their PCI-E 2.0 slots...
Hi,
Has somebody else get some changes in Everest memory benches since updating to beta 10 BIOS? When I compare my results to SetteUltras for example, my writing bandwidth is always higher than the reading bandwidth (before the update is was the same as SetteUltras (Read>Write)).
aight for the 3rd time asking this question.
what bios is the best for 45nm HIGH fsb? im currently on 16b9.. so bios 17b2? final 16? someone give me a response pleaseeeeee....... :rofl: :p: lol
Hi JamesBong420,
what do you understand under high fsb? I can go up to 530 fsb stable with the 16b10 bios. (I have reached 550 fsb not really stable, but I think my ram is the limiting factor).
i will have to try 16b10 then. if u look a few pages back i state that the chip is capable of much more then 500 fsb. which i am stuck at. i can boot up to 540s but its nowhere stable.. :p:
Well I've run the Corsair Dominators up to 1160MHz, tried 500FSB x 8 and everything else I can think of...this CPU won't be stable past 3.8GHz regardless of RAM settings, divider, voltage (up to 1.38) or any other setting I can find. Any speed above 3.8 results in Prime or Orthos immediately failing. I can boot XP and run SuperPi at 4.3 GHz, but forget stability above 3.8. The Q748 batch just sucks.
At least I have a really fast 3.8!
My Q748 can get over 4 GHz easily when set to 1.455V in the BIOS (runs at 1.42 under load, 1.38 idle). Granted, I'm running mine on water so temps aren't a problem for me.
My temps are not a problem either. I just don't want my Vcore over 1.38 out of fear of frying a $225 Intel processor. I guess a 27% OC isn't bad...it just hurts to see so many E8400 owners at 4 gigs running stable at 1.25 Vcore.
I run mine stable with 1.365 at 498x8 for 3.985 - that appears to be my sweet spotQuote:

Is that a typo? 4GHZ @ 1.25 volts?Quote:

lilke I said some pages back , I'm going to complain abit for not letting out a 1600MHZ fsb compatible bios! I heard Asus even updated their 965 to 1600 lool!! but Im sure asus has made its p35 mobos compatible with 1600.
Im going to buy a q9300 will it work on IP35 Pro? if not is it any good to swap my mobo with maximus formula guys ?
With a few, most are closer to 1.35. I'm still depressed.:(Quote:

i take the tactic of let it run until it stops and then replace it with a new or used cpu...i try not to run absurd high voltage but i do probably run it higher than most others are willing...i don't do 24/7 operations so i will use slightly more Vcore.

is the PWM heatsink still effective if you cut the heatpipe into sections like that?Quote:

So my IP35 pro is topping out at about 454fsb with my X3350. I've got the NB at 1.52v, can I go higher than that or should that be about my max for 24/7?
Also, I've currently got 60mm fan blowing over the NB, and the PWM is passive and getting to about 60C with 1.35vcore loaded at 100%, should I think about a fan over the PWM at 60C?
put a fan over the PWM in addition to the NB.Quote:

I measured the vcore on my board and while some of the bios's get cpuz to match the vcore I know the 17 bios doesnt on my setup and one of the others didnt also.
However uguru and bios itself matched dead on with my mutli meter.
The one you gotta watch out for is the vdimm as that isnt really read correctly. What you set in bios is what you get plus .01 to .03 under load. Uguru and other devices including the bios monitor dont read it correctly.
Are Intel's suggested VID range is 0.85V – 1.3625V, the same as the Vcore settings in bios?
