I'm running two Seagate 1.5TB SATA drives on my IP-35 Pro without a problem, FWIW.
Thanks dstedman, that's what I wanted to hear.
anyone have a working download link (no hassle) for the latest Uguru version?

Hey, Ace is back! :eek: :cool:
i just came up for some air...i've been running deep for all this time!:D
He's Aaalliiiiiivee!!!!!
=p
i miss you guys!:)
i'll try to stop in more often...my IP35 Pro is still huming along with a Q9650 in it...my wife has it now and she is being a good custodian of it.;)
i moved on to EVGA X58 760 board with i7-920 and 12 gig's of memory...a mild overclock:p: of 2670@4150 mhz.
I'll be building another rig in about 2 months I hope...not sure what yet.
My IP35-PRO is still strong (knock knock, loooking for wood). Crunching einstein@home for over 2.5 years. Always overclocked.
^ Yep, 2 yr. 8 mo. on mine, with high o/c's all that time on E6600 or E8400. I really can't beef about the IP-35P. It's been a great mobo and I'll use it til it croaks...IF it ever does!
How do you like that rig, Ace? Anything you wish you'd done different, etc?Quote:

No reason you can't use a ATI card as long as it's PCI-e interface.
Thx for the vote, I'm showing to coworker, for example JuliM's HIS Radeon HD3850
I've been using a 4870 for a year now and love it.
Thx for the vote....that should shut this discussion between my coworker.
I'll head on over to the ATI thread to ask for suggestion for a balance card for
my current rig (see sig)
big thx

Yep, I have a 4870 and no issues with it on this mobo.
Wonder if the gtx480 will work fine on this. I really still have no reason to upgrade mobo/cpu since I game only on this machine.
What's wrong with your 4870x2? Would you get that much better FPS from a 480 on that build?
PhysX and dx11 would be nice :up:Quote:

Hello everybody! First post here.
I own an IP35pro board with an E6700. As i found a used q9550 in a good price, i wonder how my board can handle it.
With a little bit of googling, i found out a lot of people with issues when using this combination. Many of them unsolved, nomatter flashing the mobo with bios18.
What do you think ?
Thank you!
Hi, friends! It's my first post and I have not a good english. I'm trying to install an SSD Patriot in my IP35-Pro without success. Can someone help me with the ON CHIP SATA DEVICE and ON BOARD PCI DEVICE?
Thank you very much.
Elcio
been using this board for two years and w/ an e8400 and loving it. Hope to skip this entire i5/i7 generation!
^ :yepp:
My q9450 is absolutely fine in this board. I can't push it beyond 3520 mhz though. The board can do 450mhz with a x6 multi on the cpu, but I crash into windows at 450.
This is at 1.34 nominal 1.3v measured volts.
Now that this stuff is getting old I'm happier to push it harder. How hard?

Hoping to catch any fellow DIRT2 player with same board
I recently moved from nVIDIA 8800GTX to ATI Radeon HD 5850, and was wondering if there is a BIOS specifically for ATI to match this board?
I've been having issues with this STEAM-bought DIRT2 for almost a week now.
reinstalled game again, for maybe 4th time now
before reinstalling, I did the following
- turned off anything running in the background (no antivirus, no firewall, no USB attached, no sound)
- defragged C:\ drive (Primary: where my OS is installed)
after reinstalling, I
- checked integrity of download (passed)
- re-enabled sound
- defragged
changes made:
- My Games Folder> Hardware config> audio changed to software & DX9= true
- STEAM>apps>dirt2>systems>hardware config> core8 changed to core2 (since my CPU E8400 per Intel is 2 cores only)
- defragged again
Games for Window Live
- created an offline account
- signed on with offline account
replayed game
- made it to where I create a game profile, I used a default name, game crashed
event viewer log:
Faulting application name: dirt2_game.exe, version: 1.1.0.0, time stamp: 0x4b598827
Faulting module name: dirt2_game.exe, version: 1.1.0.0, time stamp: 0x4b598827

Report Id: 81a9d5fc-5abf-11df-9ac3-00508db6d9a6
please advice on solution
STEAM and Codemasters is receiving all my emails for Tech Support and, its a rather slow pace. Was hoping to catch an owner of this board with same STEAM-bought DIRT2 game
If you want to try a beta 18 BIOS with update storage controller ROMs, PM me. That's probably the only BIOS-related thing you can try.
Uhmm....Confession time:Quote:

IMHO, I don't think it really applies to my memory storage, more like a flaky STEAM/GFWL/ATI issue....so if your BIOS applies to those, then sure I'll try it :up:
I do agree that a potential storage controller ROM issue would have little to do with video issues/stuttering/what-have-you, but you never know. :shrug:Quote:

thx for suggestion
here we go with the n00b flash questions
-so I did the hp tool w/ USB
- dropped the files needed directly into the drive ( no folder )
- boot priority USB
restart, I get: Disk boot failure, insert system disk ans press enter
what did I skip?
advance thanks
Go back and read the thread. :idea:
rather than flash the Bios I'd be disabling this in Control Panel....
Creative Labs Fatal1ty ProGamer
and then seeing if the game crashes.
FIXED!!!!!!!
It was a stuuuupid Games for Window Live update issue. For something I thought was vidcard/soundcard/STEAM/DX9 vs DX11/Core2 vs Core4/Memory Allocation.....it was a stupid G4WL issue.
Just needed to update.:shakes:
I swear, it will be the last G4WL-related game I'll ever buy
Never was a BIOS related. So, no BIOS update for me since:
if not broke, why fix it? applies here
thanks :up:
Glad to hear you fixed it.

Do I have reason to be nervous?? Should I be taking that voltage down.
Stable in intel burn test, which is taking my cores to 70
Edit. Been messing furher with CPU ref and found a borderline unbstable intelburntest point on my OC - which is excellent for testing!!!
Anyway, the long and the short is that
65+65 = 3 passes
66 =4 passes
67 = 2 passes
So I declare 66 my sweet point.
can't find my manual but anyone remember how to enable the eSATA in the BIOS.
I'm trying to enable the two eSATA ports so I can use my Vantec NexStar HD dock
advance thanks
Go to Onboard PCI Device
enable "Storage Controller"=This option enables or disables the JMB363 controller that controls both IDE1 and eSATA1 ports.
then select "Controller Mode" this sets the mode for devices connected through eSATA1 ports.
thanksQuote:

IDE then perhaps??????
and yes the DOCK is powered on
again, advance thanks
Ok, the only other thing I see mentioned is about the JMicron SATA Driver:
※This driver provides functionality for the onboard SATA RAID Controller.
※ This driver installation is necessary for the devices connected through
connectors “eSATA1” or “IDE1”.
I sold my IP35 and manual a year ago, but I still have a copy of the PDF manual I downloaded from Abit. I'll upload it for you (3.60mb) http://rapidshare.com/files/389541428/ip35-pro.zip
If you prefer another file host let me know.
thanks new-b, will save manual on file.
any chance this is Win7 related?
will try using USB connection instead also
Very good of you, new-b! :up:Quote:

It's not the HD too coz I switched with last know good HD.
maybe time to visit JMICRON or Vantec Tech support.
UPDATE: I'm was adviced by a friend to check Device Manager...is there anything I can look up and make changes in there?
advance thanks
run Scan for Hardware changes and not getting recognized still.
I just tried two different SATA cables and two USB cables and not getting recognized still.
I went to JMicron for drivers but not sure which one applied to my situation.
Any other advice?
Try this: ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/jmb36x/X...17.55_WHQL.zipQuote:

I'm getting to the point of just getting another HD dock, but I want to know if this eSATA port will work for the new HD dock :shakes:
If anyone is still after a copy of uGuru 3103 I've managed to find a link for it.

For those of you interested in having a more up-to-date BIOS, here it is:
abit IP35 Pro Beta 18 BIOS "ZZZ", modded version from here: http://www.lejabeach.com/ABIT/IP35Pro/
Updated with:
Phoenix AHCI Option ROM 01.06.70 (08-13-2008)
Intel RAID/AHCI Option ROM 8.5.0.1030
JMicron JMB363 Option ROM 1.08.01
Included is AWDFLASH 8.94.
Flash using a clean DOS boot floppy or a USB key. Syntax:
AWD894.EXE 07-05-10.ZZZ /py/sn/cd/cc/cp
DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE. FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Download
I have tested this on my IP35 Pro and it functions perfectly as far as I can tell. I do not have anything plugged into the JMicron controller, but have enabled it in CMOS setup and its option ROM screen still appears during boot up and also shows up and installs properly in Windows, so I assume it works fine. Confirmation wouldn't hurt, though!
Any noticeable performance increase/cooler temps, etc?
With the updated option ROMs? I doubt it. I haven't run any benchmarks though on disk I/O etc. Temperatures would not be affected whatsoever I believe, because these option ROMs are part of storage controller operation.Quote:

Ah, gotcha.
Was just pondering because I'll be bringing my DDR2 build out of the dust (ABit IP35 board included in this) as a backup to my high performance DDR3 gaming rig.
very nice Ligushka! 10x!
Big thanks for pointing out this BIOS to us.Quote:

Any luck in the future to get the abit IP35 Pro Beta 18 BIOS "ZZZ" with the latest ICH9R option ROM v8.9.0.1023?
This option ROM can be extracted from Intel BIOS Update [BTX3810J.86A] here:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...16604&lang=eng
Unfortunately I do not have the knowledge to do it myself.
Thanks again.
Hope he can done this marvelous job!
I have tried that option ROM (as well as 9.5.0.1021, but not 9.6.0.1014) and it resulted in a "HARDWARE_UNKNOWN" error. If it were possible to use a newer version of the Intel option ROM, I certainly would have. Sorry. Maybe I'll try 9.6.0.1014 and 8.9.1.1002 sometime. I'm glad to hear that the updated BIOS fixed your issue, though! If you don't mind, could you link to my release post in your signature?
Thanks for making our board as updated as possible.Quote:

So if one would make an easy transition from a e4300 to a Q9300 what BIOS and procedure would be best?
It's been ummm since this mobo came out since I've done anything with this thing.
Do I flash the BIOS, then install new chip. or New chip then new BIOS. I pretty much want to do this in a way that wont make me reinstall windows.
Oh and how do I even flash the BIOS on this thing? Do I have to use any specific program I remember using a floppy?
p.s. I love that this thread is still active has to be a record. I miss Abit so much.
@Glow9: A Q9300 works fine with 17 and 18 BIOSes in my experience (but I have no experience with overclocking at all). You won't need to reinstall or modify Windows in any way after dropping in the new chip. Depending on your current BIOS revision, you may not need to update the BIOS at all.
+1.Quote:

I got to find an old OC guide its been so long since I was in my BIOS doing anything. My voltage constantly switches due to a power saving thing I think in the BIOS but what I don't get is that I have it turned off. Or so I think, which options would do this or should I just leave it as is?
I hope I actually see a difference over my 3Ghz e4300.
I'm not sure on the particulars with BIOS 17 & 18, Glow. I'm on 16 w. no issues and no need to update.
Details of each BIOS revision are on the first page of this thread.
Besides the abit µGuru software/driver, none of the drivers are abit proprietary. It would appear that the µGuru 3.109 link on the first page is dead, so here is a mirror. Here is a list for some drivers:
Realtek LAN
Realtek HD Audio
JMicron Controller
Both the Intel chipset and Intel Rapid Storage Technology drivers that are posted on the Intel website currently are not the latest versions. I have uploaded Chipset 9.1.2.1008 WHQL and Rapid Storage Technology 9.6.4.1002 inf files (there doesn't appear to be a setup file with the RST service for 9.6.4.1002; if you want it, you'll have to install the bundled "Intel Rapid Storage Technology 9.6.3.1001.exe" in the archive first, then update to the latest driver using 9.6.4.1002 files through Device Manager) here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SPIG8V6T
If you're not using RAID or AHCI modes with the Intel SATA controller, you do not require the RST drivers. The Chipset installer should install the latest version of the applicable driver for IDE emulation mode.
Here are the IP35 Pro manual and µGuru manuals, too. Links on first post are dead.
I hope this helps!
I think uGuru f'ed up my system once when trying to update the drivers. Whats the best floppy method? Do I need to use a program to do it with a floppy?
By "floppy method" I assume you're talking about flashing the BIOS? I would advise using a USB key for flashing the BIOS. Use this utility and these DOS files to create a bootable USB key. I would advise using my BIOS with updated option ROMs as it's the latest BIOS anywhere.Quote:

I wouldn't mind BIOS 17 with updated option ROM, since I used it a lot for overcloking.Quote:

Is there anyway to find out the firmware version of ICH9R for each revision of the BIOS?
If the firmware of ICH9R is too old. I may to the Beta 18 or get some help from Ligushka if it is possible to upgrade the ROMs.

I can modify any of the IP35 Pro's BIOS revisions. Tell me which one you'd like and I'll be glad to update it.Quote:

You need to update your ICH9R Option Rom to use the vertex 2 (firmware 1.11) as a boot disk. Ligushka is kindly offering his help to get your favorite BIOS with updated option ROMs.
Good luck.

I saw you propose the latest ICH9R option ROM v8.9.0.1023 in another post.
Is it necessary to update the Intel AHCI to the latest or the 8.5.0.1030 version that Ligushka used is good enough for OCZ vertex 2 and maybe?
Thank you
You are running BIOS 14.
It's not possible to update the OROM to 8.9.0.1023 as I've stated earlier. It throws a "HARDWARE_UNKNOWN" error when trying to use the AHCI/RAID controller mode. I would assume newer OROMs would give the same error, so I settled for 8.5.0.1030. It seems to solve some issues, so unless some more pop up I don't think I'll try to see if any newer version happens to work.
I confirm that the BIOS from Ligushka (option ROM ICH9R 8.5.0.1030) is working with the vertex 2 latest firmware v1.11.Quote:

Thanks again.

Intel RAID/AHCI Option ROM 8.5.0.1030
JMicron JMB363 Option ROM 1.08.01
That would be very nice ! :)

It seems that all the mirrors on the abit site for BIOS 16 are dead. If you can provide a mirror for BIOS 16, I can update the OROMs.
Here it is :

I have not tested this BIOS on my system, so flash at your own risk.
Thanks !
I'm going to test it right now...
