Why? You having temp issues?
Anyone using Mushkin Redline XP2-8000 2 gb sticks on the ip35? can't get it to post.
Even tried using the settings I got from a Mushkin board; http://forums.mushkin.com/phpbb2/vie...e+q6600#p40848
Is there a Bios that will let me run these? Running 1.4 atm
I'm kinda surprised that you can't enter the bios with USB keyboard. It worked fine with my IP35 Pro, still running bios 14. You have to make sure to set USB keyboard support to "BIOS" instead of "OS". I believe it is under "Integrated Peripherals" .Quote:

I am using Windows XP PRO and i have the Abit Pro version of our motherboards. Is there any solution other than clearing its power? It is quite annoying because i enjoy the quietness when the CPU Fan is not running at its fastest. Also quite annoying to have to clear its power when it does occur.
Ugh.
I don't think the hibernation/standby modes in XP is very good. Why not use Win7? I would have tried that if I used those functions. Anyway, I thought they were there mostly for laptops :)
it has always worked for me. i dont know what you mean by it is not good? is it eviL? i kid. but on different computers it has always worked without fail. i have never experienced a loss as in when it never resumed from standby or hibernation. it is only this computer with the abit mobo... and even then its a problem of the CPU FAN RPM changing. i remember reading about it somewhere else and the solution was to clear the power cycle.Quote:

This is a known bug. I have my CPU fan running off the AUX1 header to get around it. For some reason the CPU Fan header runs 100% after returning from sleep. U just need to go into the BIOS UGuru Fan Control area and tell it to ignore the CPU fan header and instead monitor the AUX1 Header. I've also noticed that the CPU temps aren't registered correctly, so I've been monitoring on the SYS temps instead of the CPU.

I have just order a nice 4870 1Gb Card and that will be here soon, the next major update is the main heart of the box - thinking quad QX9550 anyone been from roughly a E6300 to quad?
Any really major plus points to everyday computing/gaming or is it still video encoding/folding etc that gains the most?
I was considering the 9450 but its only 20 quid cheaper where I am. If I'm spending £200 then may as well go to the top of this motherboards line.
I'm just doing a patch-upgrade before I rebuild totally around 32nm - 2010/2011 time.
I went from 6400@3.2Ghz to q9550 and even at default frequency quad was much faster...it's not even comparable. q9550 unfolded the real power of my Sapphire 4870 1GB. Buy the q9550 you can easily reach 3.6-3.8Ghz with it.Quote:

My system has recently begun choking up with blue screens and failing POSTs - I figured a RAM issue, and went through all 4 extra sticks of PC8500 RAM I have laying around. Long story short, my system is gold and boots to 4GHz at ease with only 3 sticks of 1GB RAM - as soon as I add a fourth (all Crucial PC8500s), everything goes to heck. I didn't even think about it when I was sorting it out yesterday to raise my MCH beyond 1.41, though in retrospect I'm assuming raising that to 1.5 will soothe things out as well continuing to loosen the RAM timings.
My question is: What's the safest limit I can raise my MCH to on an ABIT IP35 Pro? 1.5?
I bought an E8400 EO to replace my E8400 CO. As soon as it was in, my core temps said 93 & 97 degrees. Since I wasn't running Prime or Orthos yet, I'm assuming this is the temp. issue these processors are known for.
My question is if this is a bios issue or a CPU issue?

Hi,
Here's uGuru 3.109 on Rapidshare: Abit uGuru 3.109
http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/1195/mystats4p.th.jpg
For some reason my processor is running a different multiplier on 2 of my cores then on the other two of my Q9450 quad core. I turned off both EIST and C1E but some programs are showing that they're still enabled, so it seems that I may need to flash my bios. I'm using Bios ID 14 currently which came out before the penryn 45nm cpus were released but I didn't appear to have any compatibility problems with my system until I noticed this difference in the multipliers. Which BIOS would you guys recommend for the Q9450 16,17 or the beta 18? I bought this motherboard and cpu as part of a system so I've never flashed a bios before. I can flash from a cd-rom right? the abit guide only shows how to do it from floppy and the one on this site only shows floppy or USB just making sure. I've read that BIOS 17 and 18 don't work at all with a USB keyboard not even the del key so the only way to get into BIOS is with a PS/2 keyboard for these BIOS? My USB only had limited functioning with 14 BIOS but then I changed the use keyboard via setting from O/S to BIOS in the USB Fuctions and now the USB keyboard has full functioning is it the same with the other BIOS or is it totally broken?
And just double checking the ccmos switch on the back of the motherboard is the same as the ccmos jumper right? just makes it more accessible right? I really don't want to screw this up
One more question, can I just copy and paste the Bios flash files onto a black cd-r then boot from cd-rom? It won't work will it I need to format it for MSDOS right. Can anyone tell me exactly how to do it I'm getting confused I search on how to do it but there seems to be a lot of ways to make an MSDOS startup CD like this el torito I'm reading about but I need a harddrive under 650mb so I can't use that method. I don't have a floppy drive unfortunately
On my Abit IP35 limiting factor for good overclocks seems to be the PWM temp. If it goes over 100C computer crashes or shuts down.
This runs quite nicely though:

Im using a Therlmalright 120 ultra extreme cpu cooler with a scythe s-flex 120mm fan at 1500rpm and I have 6 other 120mm fans in my system too. Are these safe temps to be running at normally?
Those temps are safe for every day use.
If you want to get them down, you should check that your heat sink is making proper contact with your cpu. Check for air bubbles and make sure you are not using to much thermal compound. You could also lap you cpu and HS.
anyone have a clue as to why my 2gbs of crucial 8400 ddr2 is running at command rate of 2T?

Just FYI.
And if you read around the web world, you will see that NOT ALL IP35 PRO motherboards are successfully running the Q9650.
I wondered if my Q6600 had a FSB wall around 452 MHz. I had cut the heatpipe away between NB and PWM heatsinks, so NB sink was burning hot. I had an urge to install a waterblock there, and that is what I did. It was a bit tricky operation, because the naked die.
I managed to get everything working though.
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2427/...71e8fe2f2e.jpg
Check rest of the pics: Checking contact between IHS and Swiftech Apogee and adding NB block - Flickr
My MCH voltage is now 1.65V and I could boot FSB @ 450 MHz.
CPU VTT is 1.425V
On average, where is Q6600s FSB wall around?
Depends on the Stepping for one thing. And remember that no two chips are the same. My Q6600 G0 was good for 425 which is also very good for a Q6600 on air considering most Q6600s will top out at 3400mhz (stable and cool) any way you look at it.Quote:

Every once and a while I would have an issue getting the board to fully post. It usually stopped at C1 and then nothing would happen. If I restarted the pc it would then post fine and run fine continuously. It would boot fine the next few times and then repeat the above issue. I was able to flash the bios to 17 from 14 previously and it posted fine.
Now that I have shut it down I can't get it to post at all. I have tried every memory stick and I have cleared cmos and everything else I can think of. I can't get past the C1 and the board won't even try to boot. The only other difference now is it starts to boot shuts off and then reboots stopping at C1.
Does anyone have any ideas before I scrap the board? At the time I didn't realize some people were having issues with the Corsair HX620 but found it later on the Abit forums which are now gone.
I frequented the abit forums and remember the info relating to problems with some psu's,I used the same board with a reported problematic psu,a seasonic with no issues presented,mine shipped with bios 14 and the two years I used it never needed changing,very stable with 5 different video cards used including a 4870x2
maybe a bios change or a psu swap could be the fix
I actually flashed the bios thinking it might help the issue since I was also running 14 previously. Unfortunately it didn't help. I unplugged the computer and removed the battery for 30 minutes and then I was able to boot once again. Of course as soon as I shut down I can't boot past c1 again. I was using the rig as a Windows 7 RC test machine and was planning on turning it into a quad qam tuner DVR so luckily it isn't my primary rig.
I think I am going to give up on the board and just order the UD3P or UD3R as a replacement. If it turns out to be bad memory, which I doubt, then I will go from there. Worst case I will build a new i7 rig just sooner than I planned.
Try posting with 1 stick first:)Quote:

I am hoping all along it was a battery that was going bad but I haven't had time to run tests on the other memory on my rig that I know works.
I also wanted to double check. I am looking at installing two PCIEx1 dual tuner Qam cards and I wanted to make sure this board wouldn't have a problem with using the PCIEXP2 slot for the second PCIEx1 card. I have read some boards don't work well doing this but my tuner cards are back ordered so I can't test. Also I would rather find out know instead of waiting and having to order a new mobo.
I hate to ask this but I must, a few years back I had a Asus P5WD2 based system. It was rock solid stable with about a 40% overclock. I literally could go months without rebooting. My Abit IP35-Pro hasn't faired as well over the last year. A few times a week I have to reboot because it locks up. Now I'm not blaiming the mother board because the software isn't completely the same, but it is close. The major difference is the Asus had a warez xP while the Abit is an official xP and the Abit has the paid for version of AVG running.
Anyway are people in general finding the Abit to be a very stable board or are others having to reboot every once in a while? I am asking because I am considering upgrading the abit to a Q9550 +4mB Ram Gskill and maybe a fresh OS install. But I don't want to do that if I'll still be fighting stability.
So I wanted others opinions, is this IP35-Pro a rock solid stable board ?
Yes,once i get the setting of oc right and i can went through days without issue at allQuote:

temperatures under Prime95 is 61c to 67c.
what does everyone think? is it safe to keep it running under such conditions? is the voltage to the cpu too high? or the temperature?
Is there a guide to setting GTL REF ?Quote:

Cool thanks
what about SSD, does this board support it in anyway?
Well I did the upgrade today Q9550 + 4GB ram (suskill). Everything stock and no overclocking and this setup absolutely kills my old 2160 overclocked at 3 ghz, Running at only 2.8mhz tells me the extra cores really have an impact. I am stuck on bios 17 so no CO stepping although the chip supports it. I have had no luck with my floppy even since new so I may study the flashdrive bios upgrade to go v18 then overclock. Believe it or not I got to 17 with windows flash utility, I don't feel like risking it this time.
Just for kicks I tried 400 mhz fsb, no go, windows completely unstable. I also notice even when not overclocking xp thinks this processor is a xenon III processor. Sounds like I need the bios 18b.
I flashed to v18b, recognized as a Q9550, can only OC to 3.0 ghz but it is software related. Windows is fine till it starts loading all the startup junk like AVG and a hundred other junkies I don't need and have no idea to remove. I'lle stick with 3.0 ghz until one day I decide to gety a new OS and likely new MB. I'm very happy with the performance at 3.0 ghz.
Here's my latest endeavor.
http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/9666/460val.jpg
I've been examining the E0 Stepping predicament with IP35 PRO for about a year now.
Here's is a link to my current findings.
TRP-IP35 PRO-E8600
Unfortunately the original thread regarding all of it is missing. One of my fellow staff members must have accidentally deleted it so my determinations from last summer and fall may not be available.
By the time all was said and done I had used a total of 16 different BIOS 18 files and performed 24 BIOS flashes using floppies as well as files throughout the process. I even pulled a couple of hot swaps.
I used 3 different IP35 PRO motherboards - one early and two late revisions, and a variety of actual BIOS chips.
You will see my findings in the linked thread.
I think that it has more to do with the actual BIOS chip. I purchased a brand new IP35 PRO - 1st revision with the original BIOS 10/11 chip. Well. 418 hours on it. That's new in my book. I flashed BIOS 18 to that chip and have it installed in my old, worn out, second edition IP35 PRO. Total success.
So far.
___________________
Bottom line is that the IP35 PRO is a fantastic motherboard but the BIOS versions that support E0 Steppings are flaky at best. So if you want to achieve 100% successful results from an E8400, E8500, (E0 Stepping of course), and especially an E8600, then it would be best to go ahead and invest in a current motherboard that features a fully operational E0 Stepping BIOS.
Cuz it ain't gonna get no better!
In spite of its problems with the newer CPU versions, I still haven't used a better 775 motherboard than the ABIT IP35 PRO.
My E0 stepping Q9550 appears to be working fine at 3.4 Ghz. What issues should I be looking for?
Excellent work, chuck. :fact: :clap:Quote:

Now what MCH voltage have you been running with your Abit IP35 Pro, you think 1.44v option would be safe to use? Just need this board to last until P55 + Lynnfield cpus arrive. :p:
^ i think thats the maximum safest voltage that you can use for the MCH -- 1.44v for this mobo...
Is bios v17 bad or something? Can't even get 500x8 stable for my E8400 and voltages are already high and whatever I change one at a time doesn't seem to make any difference to the stability:
vcore: 1.42~1.44
VTT: tried 1.23 - 1.3v
MCH: 1.44 - 1.48v
vdimm: 2.2v
I remember running 500x8 on it before but with an older bios, still this board sux in overclocking compared to my Gigabyte P35 DS4 which ran rock solid at 500x8 (as long as it didn't kill my micron D9 sticks) at:
vcore: 1.36v
vtt: 1.2v
MCH: 1.425v
vdimm: 2.15v
Can't socket 1156 arrive a little faster, getting tired of this piece of :banana::banana::banana::banana: and don't really feel like buying another mobo just for some 1 - 1½ month usage. I think I used BIOS v14 b4 so gonna give it a try b4 I'll have to settle with a lower overclock. It ran fine with this bios with 9x multi at 4GHz but performance sux then.
EDIT: Upgraded to the modded (by rebelhaven) v18 beta and have had more luck, either that or going to 1.48v for MCH really helped but I tried that earlier too and then it didn't help (well perhaps I didn't have enough vcore). But then when playing UT3 for a while I suddenly got a BSOD in nvdisp.dll file and was like wtf can motherboard also impact on gfx card clock stability? But then I searched around and found this interesting issue http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=4432 - Installed and have ran fine so far, seems this Abit IP35 Pro board could be affected by this issue, I know Gigabyte P35 DS4 certainly have had to have the issue fixed within their BIOS as I never got a BSOD in nvdisp.dll with that.
Using the same v18 beta from rebelhaven this is the best mine old C0 8400 under SS can do.It can run 24/7 rock solid at 500MHz give more vtt to cpu...

If you're having PWM temp issues pull the heatsinks off, lap 'em and do that bolt mod thing ACE-A-RUE (IIRC) has linked or for that matter, I have used mini-washers beneath the spring pins themselves. It all depends on how much bowage may be in the assembly.
A 40mm fan screws right onto that NB heatsink. It's a big one anyway. And if it's flat and flush, you shouldn't have any problems with adding a tad more MCH Voltage.
I was under the impression 45nm didn't like high VTT on P35? I mean stock is 1.1v for this board and it doesn't go up more than to like 1.5v or so. Anyway it's the Abit IP35 Pro that's the real prob, it's known to not hit very high FSB compared to other boards, Gigabyte P35 DS4 ran 500 fsb fine at 1.2v VTT and could have run at like 1.35v MCH but to run performance level 7 stable at 500MHz it wanted a bit more juice.Quote:

Don't let the Vcore fool you. It's really 1.39V. This one undervolts like crazy on the Vcore. IP35 PRO tends to undervolt across the board but a lot of builders seem to forget that so they end up with stability problems. If you're using a crummy power supply its even worse. I see it as getting abit of voltage headroom though.
On most of mine I've found that with WOLFDALE 1.1V CPU VTT has always managed to carry me as far as 410-415 FSB and after that I bump it up to 1.2V. Using more than that has never made any significant improvements, at least not for me.
I had one IP35 PRO that was good up til 515 FSB but any of the others got really flaky at around 470 - 475. The one I'm using now craps out at a little past 460. It's got 6000 overclocked hours on it though so I forgive it. I'da black screened anybody else's motherboard long before that!http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/4803/hysterical.gif
Horror, I have suddenly gotten the dreaded bios code 8.7 problem :mad:
I have been running my system for about 2 years now without any problems, and then suddenly the other night when I went to turn on the system, it started displaying the 8.7 code.
I have tried resetting cmos/battery with no luck, as the system goes straight to code 8.7 when powered up, and then cuts the power.
My system consists of the following:
Abit IP35 Pro
Q6600 @ 3,6GHz
4 x 1Gb Crucial PC8500
BFG 8800GTS OC2
Has anyone ever solved a 8.7 problem without getting a new board? I'm thinking to try a new bios chip, which I can pick up on eBay for a reasonable amount.
Sure.Quote:

Also, as I mentioned, I have been running this system for 2 years without any problems, so it seems strange that the power supply should suddenly be the problem, when it is working just fine.
I don't need to read around.Quote:

I've been there more than once and I have fixed that problem a couple of times by doing just that.
Could be a power supply issue.
Could be that the CPU may have developed a problem and is crapping out.
Could even be the board.
How do you know if you don't test it out?
What's the point in trying to help someone when they have already made up their mind what ISN'T the problem?
Plug your ATX 12V 4 pin power connector into the right bank of the 8 pin board connector. See what happens. A lot of times when a multi rail psu (if that is what you have - since I don't see any PSU specs how would I know?) has a failing rail, this procedure will work if the rail supplying +12V to the 4 pin connector is still fully operational. If it works, then you know that there is a power supply issue.
8.7 is CHECK CPU CORE VOLTAGE and 9 times out of 10 that is a direct result of insufficient voltage to the CPU.
What supplies the voltage?
Duh?
Has anyone tried the optical sound output with WIn 7 ?
i am using the #17 bios right now and it show the correct multiplier on all 4 of my cores on my Q9450.Quote:

when i ran the E6850 and when i over clock to 4ghz i need to take the mch to 1.52 volts to keep it stable just like the cpu voltage which was 1.62 volt.
but this month i had to up the cpu voltage some to keep it stable from 1.62 to 1.63v for the 4ghz and even my 24/7 OC of 3.81ghz i had to go from 1.5v to 1.51v
which i thought was weird that had to do this even though i did this 1 yr ago to do the same thing, just to keep my over clock stable.
now with this quad core i hear they need less cpu voltage to over clock so now i need to relearn all over again.
so i am wondering if anyone has any tips for me or starters?
the friend that gave it to me said he had it doing 3.6ghz with a cpu volt of 1.38
but it didnt seem to work for me. even after i took all voltages up by 1 setting. i got a blue screen after that. so back to stock clock i went.
any help would be appreciated .
and yes this board sure does rock!!
anybody have a link to the v18 beta bios?
surprised this thread is still going
Anyone has this board working under Windows 7? Any driver or software issue? I appreciate your comments.

Only issue is my EMU 0404 soundcard doesn't work right with WIn 7, hopefully they will update their drivers.
With the Quad core I'm running, I'm thinking I may just keep this MB until it dies, I'll wager it will be good enough for most people for years to come.
Also I didn't install any of the Abit software (uguru, driver, etc) I think this may help with the stability. I'm running this Quadcore 9550 at 3.6 ghz. I highly recommend this MB with Win 7-64 4GB ram and one of the quad cores (overclocked). Its amazing how much quicker daily things like encoding audio, video, ripping CD's and surfing the web vs Win XP 32 bit.
yeah i wish abit didnt get out of the mobo biss since this 1 they really did a great job on it! it is still the only mobo i have ever gotten that i have not had to send back with the 1st 30days or do a rma on it yet.
and i had MSI and ASUS in the past and now i finally find a real good mobo and they quit on me !
question#1
and now i would like to go all water on the nb and sb and pwm on it. but i am not sure what block that will fit it.
anyone around here know what they are? that is still here
and i am still wanting to clock this Q9450 up to 3.6ghz some time soon but so far i have not been able to. i have use COBs setting in his 1 post which did not work at all.
thats when i decide to try out 3.2ghz to try for and got it stable at right now. but i want more and then keep it there for 24/7
@glen you didnt install anything off of the disc or any of the newest mobo driver then? even with vista i had to just to get rid of all of the big yellow question marks in device manager or other wise my system was not happy.
and beside i am running raid0 for both xp and vista so i have no choice as well but only for the raid device since they need there drivers.
I installed nothing from Abit or the disc, Win 7-64 is extremely stable. I can't make this 9550 @3.6 ghz crash. I'm using a big copper finned heatsink that I bought several years ago.Quote:

Does anyone know where I could buy a spare bios chip ?
Pascal, I think it is as chuck4456 says, very likely a PSU problem.
I've had this IP-35P going for "AC Power On Total Time: 18236 HR(s)", "PC Up Time Total: 15365 HR(s)" and no significant hassles running on an Enermax Infiniti PSU (sig) with a TrippLite SU1000XLa back-up @ usually at least 495MHz. Settings are similar to chuck's, except DDR2 REF is +2% V and VCore is lower @ 1.31.
I think much of the longevity of this board is due to clean, steady power, meaning not only a stable voltages all the time, but voltage with low ripple/noise - very important since excessive ripple can slowly destroy components. And, some of your name-brand PSU's are not always so great in that dept. You need to check reviews that know how to properly define & measure those aspects of PSU design that are equally important, not just if a PSU can hold 12V or 5V or 3V steady within 3%.
Hi there, i'm reading a lot about the Abit having issue with the Q9550. I have one that is never used and i was planning to buy a Q9650 to play with or the Q9550(if i cant find a good deal on the first one) and use it as my main as the Asus i have (in sig) cant resach high FSB.
I would like to have a confirmation that i'm not waisting my time trying to use that Abit (with no future support), im getting back home in 4 days and buying parts at that time.
Thanks for your help.
geisher - I have no experience with Q-cores on this board, so far just E6600 & E8400. Maybe chuck or others can help you.
Aztec thanks for this quick reply, i will wait on others opinions aswell.Quote:

Does anyone know what the current word is on the CPU fan speed issues?
I'm running a Q9550 (E0 stepping) with B18 BIOS. A cold boot into Linux and the CPU fan speed works like normal for weeks and months at a time (increasing speed with load/heat).
However, if I boot into Windows 7 (64-bit RC) the automatic fan speed will stop working at some point (not always immediately). Sometimes it gets stuck at full speed and other times at low speed. I think it depends on what the computer is doing when the BIOS gets knackered. No amount of rebooting or resetting will fix it, only a cold power-off and cut the power main will fix it. I have tried with and without installing uGuru but that seems to make no difference.
I have seen other posts about this issue but no real solutions. Some people say try changing BIOS rev or whatever but even that seems to have mixed results. Besides, I need to run B18 for my E0 CPU as far as I know.
I'm pretty positive this has something to do with Vista/Win7 because everything works normally in Linux (64-bit) and XP (32-bit). Other people complaining of this issue also seem to be running Vista or Win7. I'm not sure if the 64-bit flavor makes a difference.
If I never had to boot to Windows then I would be OK but as it is it's pretty annoying when I want to play some game that only works in Windows and it ends up screwing up my BIOS. Actually, I think it's a bug in the BIOS but obviously we're not going to get fixes from ABIT. My system runs 24/7 so cold boots put a lot of unnecessary extra stress on my system.
^ It's just another reason why Windows blows c*ck. :mad:
I run Vista with mine & I had the same problem. Had to use one of the regular fan headers instead of the CPU fan header & disable the CPU fan header control in order to get it to work. Known bug, and no fix coming, unfortunately. Works fine running this way, though.

If the CPU temperature is stuck in the BIOS then that won't work on other headers either. That is unless disabling the CPU header somehow makes the CPU temperature not get stuck. If you follow what I mean :)
