Searched and didn't find anything...
Will the Enzotech Ultra-X Copper heatsink fit on this board?
I haven't heard one way or the other, but I think it would.Quote:

Is there a list boards that it won't fit, by chance? If so, that might help you get an idea.
Haven't been able to find one.
Having some trouble installing windows on this board. I get a BSOD with the system in my sig right when i go to enter my product key, sometimes before that.

Any ideas?
This happens when trying to do an install? :( Are you running a RAID at all?Quote:

After a little research on line it appears to be a memory problem.
Install only one stick of memory into the board and load optimized defaults then try loading windows again.
I have RAID0 setup, really wierd because early yesterday all 4 sticks were running fine on my badaxe2. Ill try 1 stick when i get home from work.
Make sure you are giving them enough voltage to work right.
Tried giving them a little more volts still no go. Tried 1 stick, still no go. Tried with only my raid harddrives, still no go. This is so frustrating.
Did you try a different stick? Try another stick in each slot. I know this is frustrating but sometimes it takes a little finess to ge a board going.
Ok so i guess i wasnt giving enough volts, i thought it was plenty but it seems 2.0 is the starter for this set of ram, thanks guys and now look forward to some results from me!
Seems my xfi is acting up, newest drivers off website dont work, anyone have a link to some that do work?
Hi Circaflex.
Her are some new betadrivers from creative.
http://connect.creativelabs.com/beta/default.aspx.
I haven´t installed them yet myself, but I will later today.
As mush as i love this board, lately i have been taking advantage of the fan control options via the bios, however by doing so i have discovered an annoying high pitching whining noise coming from the motherbaord.
The noise only appears when i surf certain pages (sky sports, heavy add related sties) and even makes the noise when i put on WMP, does anyone else have this problem or now of a cure??
anyway to flash to bios without usb key or floopy? dont have either and want to try the beta, can a cd work?
Do i need to edit the switches that come with abits file?Quote:

do i need to put what you put in bold instead?
Yes put that in and it will work just fine.
Will I be able to boot with the Crucial Ballistix Tracer 800's with stock voltage?
i see the 800's up there but not Tracer
With two gigs I booted with mine, 4x1gb sticks wouldnt boot from stock but two were allright, I would try it and find out before you do anything else though just to be sure.
This board overvolts the ram a little bit also so keep that in mind.

I tried 2 kits of teamgroup (1200 cl5 / 1300 cl6) with no luck...
So the three-pin and four-pin won't control your 2-pin fan, correct? If so I believe that's by design; IIRC the 3rd & 4th leads are what give it the 'sense' capability (RPM monitoring, temp monitoring if it has a diode, etc).Quote:

I believe you need to make the raid disks from the included CD.
it's right there in the screenshot, 06/06/2007. i have since updated to the 07/09/2007 .B04 BIOS and have had no problems running the same settings. HTHQuote:

Is a bios update for the IP35 Pro required to support the G0 stepping Q6600?
And if so has it been released yet?
Other G0 CPUs work fine, so I'm sure the Q66 will work.Quote:

What is Max FSB on Quadcore please?
I saw 495MHz, is this stable?
On QuadGT, PWMs run inferno-hot with Q6600@3.9@1.58
Is it the same on IP35?
Thanks
Last test was 493FSB 2h prime stable (incomplete), and yes the pwm temp was too high when priming 75-80C and this is open ambient!...for 24/7 use i wouldn't pass 460-470 unless you have better cooling for this areaQuote:

Muchas Gracias :up:Quote:

Got a strange problem with this board.
Example. Set my vcore to 1.48v qx6700 to 355x10. All boots fine.
Set my vcore to 1.55v qx6700 to 355x10. Double boots and resets back to previous bios setup.
It seems I'm having trouble setting my vcore to anything above 1.5 ish.
Given the vdroop, this is limiting.
If on the few occasions I have managed to set vcore to 1.6v(1.52droop) at 360x10, on running prime the machine shuts down. It just don't like it up it.
Never had these issues with the quad gt and was able to 3dmark up to 3.8 ghz.
If it wasn't getting enough juice, Prime would just fail on a core, no shutdown.
Starting to think this is power related, either with the board itself or the PSU. PSU was fine with the QUAD GT though.
I did get 8.7. codes on initially setting this kit up, so putting 2 and 2 together possibly?
RLM
Don't know if this has any bearing or not.
Voltage readings from bios.
ATX +12v (24 pin) 12.31v
ATX +12v (8 Pin) 12.37-43v
ATX +5v 5.2v
ATX +3.3v 3.39v
ATX 5vsb 5.11v
Note: I did take the measure of wiring all but 2 small fans to fan controllers on separate sources to cut down on the draw from the motherboard.
RLM
that is not correct...i have a 3 pin 120mm fan plug hooked up to the 4 pin on the mobo and it controls the fan just fine if enabled.Quote:

I've tried both 2 and 4 sticks. I've set the ram under spec, loose timings and I'm pretty positive with the Gskills at least, that they aren't the problem.Quote:

A guy in the shop, where I bought the geils from yesterday, was memtesting the same sticks(not mine) on a dfi board at 1200 mhz 4-4-4-12. Mine on this board will barely do over spec 1066 mhz 4-4-4-12.
Unfortunately I don't have a spare PSU or CPU lying around to do further testing.
All I know is that I have one new part in the equation. The IP35 pro.
Will take the board and the geils back to the shop tomorrow and see what sort of results they get.
At the moment I'm most tempted to go back to a QUAD GT. The one I left back in the UK was a great board. Rock solid.

Does anyone here have any decent pointers regarding MCH, CPU VTT settings and GTL REF settings for a QX 6700.
Have read a bit about GTL REFs on a DFI webpage, and have a very rough understanding. 'Rough' being an understatement.
Basically my understanding is something along the lines of GTL REFs being a percentage of VTT and the aim being to find the sweet spot. This sweet spot will help reach higher FSBs on a quadcore, but I also assume it will enhance overall stability.
Am I right in saying that to find the proper settings you would need to take readings from points on the motherboard with a volt meter?
Experimenting. I've just tried a cpu vtt of 1.27 and gtl ref of 71%. 352 x 10 1.5v (1.43-1.45 guru)
That seemed to be a pretty stable start with prime managing to run for a bit.
Upped it to 1.52v and 355 x 10. Ran for about 2-3 minutes, then the machine shut down.
Not sure if I'm on to something here or not???
RLM
edit: Looking at http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/....php?p=2322655 and http://sg.vr-zone.com/?i=4409&s=7
It seems that for quadcore you're looking for a figure of 1.12v. In theory then shouldn't the gtlref be a percentage of the VTT setting to reach that figure? Don't really see how it works, because say 69% of 1.2v VTT is .83v which would be way off. obviously missing something???
All my experience on the GTL refs area has been frustrating:mad: too complicated for me...
I've been trying GTL with VTT small range areas with no success, the only parameter that seems to be critical when rising FSB in my case is mch volts
400->1,41
450->1,44
475->1,51
490->1,56
500->1,64 not fully stable
my Q6600 is stable enough at 500 fsb for everyday work...i can reliably prime 3 cores or 75% with 4 cores at 500 FSB at 7X multi....it will freeze after a few minutes with all four cores priming...before i took off the heat pipe system and used AS ceramique and screws to clamp it down, i wasn't even able to do one core priming without it freezing...i used vmch all the way up to maximum..i really prefer to stay at 450 FSB at 8X...that way i'm able to use less voltage for mch and ICH voltages.
hmm could you post pics ace of ur NB&sb screwed down set up=)
i might try that, the NB lost contact again for the 2nd time..the pipes dont like those plastic clips on this board
For the ram i have listed in my sig, what would be the best fsb:dram ratio to use? Im pretty confused on the options.
Well stopped messing with GTLREF. A bit of fun, but making little difference really. I think my divider, was having most impact.
Machine still won't boot with vcore set to 1.55 or above in bios. Just double boots and resets itself.
CPU? Motherboard?
Cooling isn't a problem, I removed the heatpipe, applied paste and put it back before installation. Have an 80mm fan over the NB, a 40mm over the PWM area and CPU watercooled. Priming at 3.55 ghz 1.55v it hangs around 58-62c in coretemp, before shutting down. (It's hot here)
I like the idea of screwing down the heatpipes though Ace-a-rue. Good idea. (That or throwing it away.)
Going to take the board back today. Not knocking the IP35 Pro. Seems to of worked well for most, but am tempted to go back to a QUAD GT.
Just a attaching a shot I dug out from my Quad. A bit better than I'm achieving now. That's with the GSkill 6400 HZs

EDIT-12-26-2007:...i should have recommended this right from the get-go but i want to correct it now since MANY are having success with this mod....without further ado!:D
use 3/4" length bolts or 1/2" bolts

use #4-40 X 3/4" (or, 1/2" #4-40)" round headed machine bolts...to insulate the bolt head from the bottom of the motherboard, i used a #6 galvanized washer that had a rubber gromet or washer fused to the galvanized washer...just to make sure the bolt head would not be grounded to the m/b case bed, i put electrical tape over the 6 bolt heads....it looked like i had plenty of clearance but being safe is better than being sorry later on.
getting the nut to thread on the bolt gave me some difficulty associated with the NB and the HS over the mosfets...just a tight clearance for the #4 nut to sit over the hole so i could thread the bolt...i slid the nut up against the foot or each side of the appropriate HS and then work from the bottom of the board with turning/screwing the bolt into the nut.
after doing this mod you will need to add at least two 40mm fans, one to the NB and one to the HS over the mosfet area since the mod will increase the heat within the heatpipe..the SB is questionable about adding a 40 or 30mm fan...i couldn't do it since i just added a 8800 GTS VC to my system ...
you kind of help yourself with taking the heat away from the chipsets and mosfets but you are now in need of additional cooling to help with cooling the heatpipe system.:)
here are the pictures.
looks like a good idea,my board is coming with a q6600
4 cores x 4 sticks of ram
looks stout. will do this next week for sure. And you said put 40mm , what just punch some bolts through the fins? I had servo tape holding one on the NB for about a week but it came loose:D
right now i have a 120 side duck blowing near the NB. the PWM has a asus pwm cooler just stuck on it ..ill keep that in mind if i do this mod.
and yeah SB is a no go with a 8800 on this board, unless you could find some ultra low profile HSF set up
my order shipped on q6600 from nciux
G0 woot.

i went ground shipping, so its just a waiting game now
the 'GO's' are doing very well with low vcore....exciting times are ahead!:)
all my parts were bought at home depot, out of the speciatly draws that they have in the nuts, bolts and screws isle.Quote:

I'll be selecting out of an Ace Hardware store here,they have a nice 40' long isle full of fasteners parts
ncixus.com got my bussiness too
even better!:)
here is how i put the fans in...i used 2 plastic ties to anchor the fan over the mosfet area....you can see the white ties, trimmed, adjacent to the heat sink fins.Quote:

i picked up up the nuts and bolts at homedepot before they closed. I was unable to find the #6 washer/grommet, they only had #8. I was able to test thread it though, it was snug around the bolt, i opted for slightly longer 4-40 screws to compenstate for slightly larger washer.
and got brass aswell..anyway!
there you GO!:D

Re Vdroop. Seems to vary. I've now switched motherboards for another IP35 pro. Next door to where I bought it they had a Q6600 GO for sale, which I couldn't resist. Vdroop at the mo is about -.03-4. Maybe that will change with higher volts.
On the qx6700 with the previous motherboard I was getting - .07-8.
As someone else said here you just figure that in
nice solution there overall, i'm interested how much your pwm temp drops with that tiny fanQuote:

Does anyone tried to use a Q6600 G0 on a IP35 (not Pro) ? If yes, what is the results so far because I'm tempted by this board to unleash mine because the Bad Axe 2 is limiting me to 3.5 Ghz and less :(
wow i didnt realize i was going to have to worry about the heatpipe falling off with this board....guess i skipped over those posts.
At least i know how to fix it now though. thanks Ace.
it won't fall off the way the board is manufacturer right now...the attachment points are adequate...but, the installed 'TIM' is really ineffective since the attaching pins really do not have the strength to pull the heatsink down firmly to make solid contact with the chipsets and mosfets.
yeah get those. cant go wrong with crucialQuote:

QFT. I haven't had many good experiences with them. I know a lot of people do like them, but when they take over a month refund an 'Advanced' RMA charge for my company, it leaves a sour taste in my mouth.Quote:

I did Ace-a-rue's mounting technique for the NB/SB/PWM blocks and their temps dropped quite nicely (no fan yet either)
Currently priming my E6750 at 3.2GHz stock volts, I'll post some more results tomorrow when I get the time
So far this board looks great, I'm excited
personally, i believe this board is slightly better than Asus' P5K.
this could be a problem with the bios reading the thermal diode on the cpu coreQuote:

This is coming from a well tested week 29b e6600, thoroughly worked thru on a AW9-max and an IN9-32x.
Orthos blended stability tested 9*272, 9*300, 9*325, 9*335 no probs, low temps (IFX-14).
At 9*350, couldn't get the thing to even post.
My e6600 is good to about 9*360 on stock 1.2375v.
Went back and took off the heatsink assembly. The PWM pads weren't making good contact on the i/o side column, so I added a little AS ceramique. Then replaced the nb and sb with AS5. Then add 2 low speed 50mm fans to the nb and pwm.
After that, the 9*350 wall disappeared, and I've marched on to 9*360.
So: recommend a TIM changeout.
Also, the TR Ultra 120X and the IFX-14 fit in either configuration no probls.
Some more random notes.
I've found that software overclocking by uguru (windows xp), still isn't as stable as bios. A number of times, settings in uguru would fail stress testing, but going back and setting the exact same settings in the bios were stable. I'm using uguru 3104.
I never use uguru when ocing, I allways use the bios which works out great. This mobo performs very well.
So do I need a bios update to run the new Q6600 G0 stepping chip and if so has one been released yet?
I could be wrong, but I don't think so. I ran my GO on one of the older bios's, may of even been the shipped bios (prior to the command rate option) and it ran just fine.Quote:

SUBZERO SNACK GOES 630FSB
http://pic.xfastest.com/hicookie/Abi...pro/630FSB.gif
Is the chipset cooled at that fsb?
at 450fsb the nb on my ip35 is just barely warm to the touch
after 500 though it gets pretty hot.
iam on air so i run it 450 max
but yea they run very cool compared to 680i stuff
no need , still stock cooler for all pwm/nb/sb.Quote:

hmm sorry for being a noob, but what exactly is PWM? Right now, my uguru is reporting that my PWM is about 70~C under load with my q6600 at 378x9, which is pretty hot and bad for the mobo i assume
gonna try to take off the heatpipes on the mobo and redo it tmr i guess
Looks like I'll be selling yet another Abit board, I really thought they had finally released a decent board but unfortunately Vdroop of ~ .07 using quad is a crime :down: :mad:
When will I ever learn
Is that measured vdroop or just what you see in windows?Quote:

For the record I get a .04 +/-.01v vdroop at stock volts

Just a small update, I have listed below a link to the a Revised Edition of the Manual i.e Revision 1, I'm not sure what has changed but it has also been added to the IP35-PRO section on the ABIT Website.
English Version (Revison 2) April 2007
The above link is now also on first thread which I posted.
Just recieved my E6850 Batch# L719B027 :eek: will finally get round to building my new rig! :clap:
cooled by LN2, and sets in bios 9X612 , oc guru software can't support over 600FSB...
I just ordered this board with the g0 q6600 so was this a good choice for the quad core?
Can anyone confirm this? If this needs a new bios for the g0 q6600 I'll have to RMA the board since I don't have another 775 CPU.Quote:
