Anyone else having eSata issues with Win7x64 RTM? One of my esata drives is seen as hotp-pluggable the other isn't.
It adjusts speed based on the CPU temp. Don't remember quite how I did it, and I don't believe that I've ever had a problem with stuck CPU temps, but it works.

^ Brilliant!! :rolleyes:
Can someone please confirm if these are BETA or Final versions.
Thanks.

It's a shame really as this is a kick-ass motherboard and abit have left the business.
Oh, my brain didn't parse the question properly. I'm pretty sure you can always access the BIOS if you're using a PS/2 keyboard, but when using a USB keyboard with AHCI enabled you can't.Quote:

1. Clear CMOS 2. Restore default setting for BIOS 3. Replace BIOS chip 4. Send to RMA at last"
After clearing the CMOS it would boot the second time it restarted, but it won't run at anything higher than stock. I used to run this thing fine 24/7 @3.6 by just bumping the frontbus to 400.
I have had the board since january 2008, and since 3 and 4 are probably out of the question is there anything I can do to remedy this, or should I start looking for another board? :(
Edit: I am using Beta Bios 18 and specs are in signature.
Edit2: After looking again the board went through the 8.3 > 9.0 sequence, so I sent it to RMA.
anyone knows if the IDE driver's problem is general in windows 7 or exist only on the ip35 pro motherboard?
hey guys. i'm not computer savy. how do i make a raid driver disk for f6 during installation of windows 7? actually, i'd rather use my usb flash drive if it's possible like in Vista. i downloaded the manual and it only instructs how to make the disk using a cd that came packaged with the mobo. i need to use the newest driver posted on the first page of this thread. do I simply copy the contents of the driver folder onto a diskette or flash drive? if someone could help me i'd appreciate it. I'm only using 1 sata hard drive so I have no need for raid drivers. i just want to make sure I do the clean install properly. i wonder if f6'ing is even required for windows 7 for only 1 sata hd. i've googled for half an hour and can't find the answer.
U don't need no aditional drivers for single disk under Windows 7 instalation process. Latter, after instalation have finished you are free to update any driver u think that it is necessary. There is an RAID driver from Intel included in Windows 7, so you don't need to load one during install.
Hi, is anyone using a 5850 with their IP35 Pro? I have one coming in the mail and am trying to decide whether to keep my existing rig or upgrade. Any feedback would be appreciated. I will be running Win7 64bit once I either install the new GPU or build a new system. Note: I've always run my board and CPU at stock. Memory is running at rated speed. So am wondering if I can get this OC'd a little bit if it really would be worth upgrading my entire build or not. Will I be CPU limited in games, etc?
New Card: ASUS EAH5850/G/2DIS/1GD5 Radeon HD 5850 1GB 256-bit GDDR5
So, if I should keep my current system then any suggestions on settings to try for an easy overclock would be mucho appreciated.
Current Rig:
ABIT IP35 Pro LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard BIOS 17
Intel C2D E6850 Conroe @ 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W
Tuniq Tower 120 Universal CPU Cooler 120mm Cooling Fan
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2@1000 (PC2 8000)
OCZ GameXStream OCZ700GXSSLI 700W ATX12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready
Possible New Rig:
ASUS Maximus III Formula LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
Intel Core i7-860 Lynnfield 2.8GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor Model
COOLER MASTER Intel Core i7 compatible V8 RR-UV8-XBU1-GP 120mm Rifle CPU
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000)
CORSAIR CMPSU-750HX 750W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80
With the potential on your dispose (9x400=3600Mhz) you should not worry. That should be enough for a new card, especially in high resolutions.
Thanks for the info. Well, as luck would be on my side today the package arrived so I am going to start messing with the 5850 once I get the overclock figured out. If anyone can help with a few tips I would sure appreciate it. I've had to set my vcore in BIOS to 1.37. This is because of the vdroop right? This gets it to show 1.35v in BIOS voltage monitoring after a reboot. However, CPUz shows it as 1.36 most of the time. Now, here is what I tried:
e6850@400x9=3.6
vcore=1.40
memory set to 800, 5,5,5,18.
From what I understand I want to set the memory timings as above in order to figure out the CPU limitations. I suspect I need to adjust the other CPU settings for voltage in the BIOS, but not sure what. With the above I booted into Vista and it was fine until I ran Orthos. Orthos stopped on error almost immediately. So I figured I would get my memory set at its rated speed first. Here are my current settings:
e6850@333x9=3.0
vcore=1.37
memory set to 1000, 5,5,5,15,45,2T, 2.1v
Any suggestions or pointers on how to start OC'ing the CPU? Can I keep the memory settings as above or will I have to run them at 800 when OC'ing the CPU? I haven't done any overclocking (quite obviously) since the old Celeron days so please forgive the stupid questions. I will admit I don't know the first thing about doing an OC these days. =) I am going to do some searches on here, but thought I would post in the meantime. I would like to get this 5850 installed and run some benchmarks in case anyone else is thinking of upgrading.

can anyone direct me to a version on uguru that works with W7? Tried 3109 with no luck and I cant seem to find any links for 3103 which I read somewhere works in W7. Thanks to all that can help
I haven't had any luck with the actual µGuru application. I installed the bundled driver for the "Unknown device" in Device Manager and I have no issues, however. Everest outputs the same information as µGuru does so I don't need µGuru at all.Quote:

I have tried 3109 in every mode in W7 that I could think of and all allowed me to set my default speed at pretty much whatever I wanted(within reason of course) but as soon as I tried to edit profiles ...prog would crash....I read on another forum another poster was using 3103 and it was working to some extent...Quote:

Never mind the Uguru...I found a link to all of them
I ordered a q9550 last week and now I see a lot of people have trouble booting with it. I sure hope it's a problem mostly with ip35 pro as I got the regular board. Do they use different BIOS?
I see on the first page that the link to v18 bios is m629b_18.bin while the v18 for the regular board is m630a18.
I'll let you know how it goes when my cpu arrives.
One reason why I stayed on v16. No probs on E6600 or E8400. :surf:Quote:

Hey guys, quick question here, I've been searching for a definite answer as to whether the IP35 Pro supports the Q9650 E0 stepping...
I've found one dirt cheap and I'm thinking of getting it, however some people have had luck with their Ip35s and others not (no POST)...
Can someone clarify this for me?
AFAIK, with the later BIOSes (16 and up) the 45nm procs are supported.
Probably up to the BIOS version.Flash the newest BIOS with your current CPU.
I think it should because Abit was still working when 45nm quads went retail.

Hey it's a great, reliable mobo. I'm not building a new rig until next year.

Regardless of the OS i am using, i can install my OS to the drive. but the on the next power cycle the bios fails to boot from drive. i don't get the "BOOT DISK FAILURE" the bios just freezes and at the top screen i get 2 red lines and the Post LEDs read FF. i went back and used one of the 250GB WDC drive and it work just fine and will boot on the next power cycle. I tried using a WD 320GB and its fail on the next power cycle. i can still use any of the drives as storage drives just not as the boot drive. so any drive larger 250GB regardless of manufacture will not boot if use as the boot drive.
I tried looking thou near 300pages for something similar but couldn't find any thing.
Image of Bios screen trying to Boot from the WD3200AAKS, screen is the same with any drive larger then 250GB
Did you try both IDE and AHCI modes?
Yes, all 3 modes; IDE, Raid and, AHCI mode all have the same problem. Ive even used a PCI and PCIe sata controller and even still get the problem. even used and IDE 500GB and get the same problem.
Not sure if i can roll back to an earlier bios and see if the problem arises.
You can try that. If that doesn't work you could also try a BIOS with updated storage controller ROMs (I can provide you with that) but other than that it's a very strange issue. I have no idea what's causing it.Quote:

Thanks for your offer!
Honestly, I have no idea. Somebody reported a massive decrease of RAID rebuild time using 8.9.1.1002 ROM with a different motherboard, but that same ROM does not seem to function with RAID on the IP35 Pro. The latest fully working ROM is 8.5.0.1023, and that's what would be included, along with JMB363 ROM 1.07.14 and Phoenix AHCI Option ROM 01.06.70 (dated 08-13-2008).Quote:

Sigh I really liked this Mobo, it has served me well for the last 2 years. well I guess this would be the best time for looking in to upgrading. funds permitting.
Normally I can figure things out and fix them on my own or with a bit research. but this has got me. with my luck its something stupid simple that I am forgetting.
18.ZZZ still has stock ROMs, not updated. I'll PM you with 18.ZZZ + updated storage ROMs soon.Quote:

Unfortunately nobody has attempted to fix the glitch with USB keyboards not being able to enter BIOS (seems like that's only the case if AHCI is enabled). I think BIOS 16 and earlier are unaffected.
I have an IP35-E, and just installed a Q9550 in it, see cpu-z pics.
I'm posting here so others that still have the IP35-E will know that they can install a 9550. There was very sparse info on the web. Mild overclock to 3.2 (missing 8.5 mulitplier). I have some more tuning to do, ie memory and vid card, but I'm quite happy right now.

@insaneninjaguy: glad to know that the updated ROMs actually do something.

Hi all,
Is anybody managed to have uGuru working on Windows 7 32bit?
I am just interested about the overclocking features (frequency & voltage), frequency seems to work in v3.1.0.9, but changing the voltage in a no go.
Anyone having success with uGuru and Win7, please share.
I tried from V3101 to V3109 with no luck...same voltage issues as you...so I just set it in bios and left it that way...Quote:

This appears to be the best forum for this mainboard.
Guys I broke my mainboard. I had a computer open next to this IP35 Pro machine and had SATA cables running from the one to this mainboard so I didn't have to uninstall the HDD's from their cage. Well I descided to move the computer, thought I was done, and the locking SATA cables ripped apart my onboard SATA 1/2 box (attachment thing) and now it will not work. SATA 1 and 2 are down on my IP35 Pro. I know I should upgrade VS fixing this mainboard but I really want to have it repaired.
How much could it cost to have this fixed by ABIT?
:help:
Abit went belly up a year ago. I don't know who would repair it now. Why not give it a nice funeral and get another board?

That sucks, really does. I liked that company.
It still functions but SATA 1 and 2 are down. I'm not ready to upgrade yet. The stuff costs so damn much now and I'm making even more than I was before this build.
I don't want to spend the cash on DDR3 yet. That RAM can get cheaper before I buy it. Same with SSD's.
ABIT gone....
Was thinking of going with AMD this time because I hate the G.D. processor install method for Intel that much. No matter how precise I follow the instructions I feel like I am damaging the mainboard or about to get thermal paste everywhere it shouldnt be. I'll sacrifice the 30% speed for less frustration. Saves me about $100.00 also, maybe more.
I just wonder how much of an upgrade a Phenom II x4 would be over my E8600. Any comment to that? I'm researching now. An AMD route I can do (eventually) as long as I can remain competitive with my favorite online games.
I'm almost sad to hear ABIT is gone.
Thank you.
I'd say you're screwed. It would cost more to fix it over a new board, imo.Quote:

I seriously can not bear the thought of having to mount another Intel CPU the way they have you do it right now. I dislike it that much.
Man, I still have my first ABIT mainboard from 1998...
Anyway, I don't want to reinvest in the socket 775 anymore than I have to. If I replace it I want to move forward, you know.
I really liked my IP35 Pro. I'll look into having it repaired privatly. The SATA 2 still works but its on the same mounting unit as port 1.
For less than $250 I can upgrade (if it is) to an AMD Phenom II x4 system.
I won't be able to sell this mainboard on Ebay I bet. I'll look into having it fixed privatly. Should I just look at "Chuck-in-a-Truck" repair shops. I've never had to deal with one.
This is a great piece of hardware. Not sure what I'm going to do, nope.
If you hate the pushpin method so much, buy a bolt-through kit. You will probably get better temperatures as a result.
Update!
My IP35 Pro is whole again. The SATA port is in perfect working shape and some finely applied super glue fixed the housing damage.
Not that anyone should care, lol...

It's great to see this thread still alive. I know this board is on the old side now, but I still love mine!
I wanted to ask you guys a question. Has anyone used a Western Digital 1.5TB Caviar Green with this board or the ICH9R in general? (WD15EADS) The reason I ask is that I've heard of problems accessing drive bigger than 1 TB. Is this just a problem in IDE mode? I'll be using RAID, btw, since I have two 500GB in a RAID0 configuration.
Sorry for my ignorance on the subject, but I've never owned a drive larger than 500GB. Figured I'd get the green for backups. Any info would be much appreciated.
