**Official ABIT IP-35 Pro Review/Overclock/Guide Thread**

[hokiealumnus]

Played with MCH at all? I know several people that used MCH with their Q6600s and had good success with it. 1.45v'ish @ 400x9 seems to be a good spot for Q6600s @ 3.6GHz. I'd imagine your Q6700 would be somewhat similar, but you shouldn't need quite that much since you have that 10x multi.

yeah ive upped the MCH to 1.48 TOPS

Please help forum members. I've run into a strange problem recently where it seems the abit's bios is changing my default boot drive. Usually my default boot drive is a Fujitsu SCSI and is listed as "modus L". For some reason it keeps getting bumped to second place in the bios. About 2 weeks ago I booted into my xp drive to restore my vista drive. Any ideas?

Can't get Orthos or OCCT stable with current set-up
Hopefully someone here can take a peak and give me some tips...

E3110 OC'd to 500x8
running BIOS 17b2
4 gigs Mushkin DDR2 800

All voltages set in BIOS seem to be spot on with what uGuru is showing in my screenshot except vcore which is set for 1.315.

Please help, much appreciated.

How much vdroop when you run OCCT?

[bnhoang86]

Hey guys. I've been trying to get my Q6700 past 3.4Ghz for a while now. These are my current settings

10x340Mhz FSB
Bios: 14
Vcore: 1.4675 (in bios) 1.43v in cpu-z and 1.37 load in cpu-z
MCH: 1.25
ICHIO: 1.5
ICH:1.05
CPU VTT: 1.2
Dimm: 2.0v
1:1 divider
4-4-4-12 timings (ive tried 5-5-5-15 as well)


Any suggestions on getting to 3.6 or 3.8?

I've bolt modded, lapped both HS and CPU. so i dont have to worry about temps much.

OK. I've decided to max out my Vcore at 1.5275v to compensate for Vdrop. Im prime stable @ 350x10 for 1 hour so far

Here are my settings:
Vcore: 1.5275
Dimm:2.0
MCH:1.48
ICHIO:1.5
ICH:1.05
CPU VTT: 1.27

what bios are you using?...did you change the bios recently?

have you gone into the bios recently to check that you have the "modus L" set as the first choice to boot from?

seems to me that you are about 100 mhz below target for Prime 95 stable run...i would raise your ICHIO to around 1.65 or 1.7 and then raise the FSB to 360 mhz.

did you do the heatpipe mod and add 2 fans to blow on the NB and PWM?

[eaa315]

How much vdroop when you run OCCT?

I'm seeing it drop down to 1.28 in uGuru...but I can only get about 4 seconds worth of Orthos or OCCT before they stop due to failure message so it might be even worse

probably too low of Vcore.

[eaa315]

probably too low of Vcore.

I think so, I actually got orthos to run a bit before crashing and it was dipping down to 1.27 very frequently.

[loonym]

Yeah on mine it seems the more I push the greater the vdroop becomes but as long as I compensate for it I don't think it's a big deal.

I believe it's 16 b3 I am using...it has worked great for months and months now. Yes, I have to move the SCSI (modul L) to the top of the list in bios nearly every time I have to reboot. It's getting worse and is nearly every time now. I just added a s/pdif header the other day, maybe I didn't get everthing back together tight (I doubt it but will check tonight). Any other thoughts are very welcome.

1.3625 is the top of Intel's acceptable range. Have you flashed to bios 16 yet?

[Budwise]

So far 16b10 has been really good with my E8400. Very little vdroop compared to my old quad. So far 4Ghz 1.27v...

The IP35 Pro is about to get moved to its new home in a Rocketfish case this weekend. Will have to redo the watercooling and do some modding for my PA120.3 but I'll take some pics.

[rubenmer5]

My system consist of:

-Abit IP35 Pro (Bios 16)
-Intel Core 2 Duo E6850
-Vista Ultimate 32bit
-EVGA 8800 GTS 512MB
-Corsair CM2X1024-8500C5D
-WD Raptor 150MB (Raid0)
-OCZ GameXStream PS 600W
-X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatali1ty Pro

My problem is on the uGuru bios the multiplier is x9, however in windows with the CPUID 1.44.2 it shows x6 (underclock). I use the user define trying to fix it and it does the same underclock. Can anyone else has the same problem? I need help ti fix it.
Thank you.

[loonym]

Disable C1E and EIST and that will go away.

[rubenmer5]

WOW, loonym that was fast. Thank you very much. If I disable those two, the board will set itself 1333CPU/1066Memory?

[Ludo057]

Hi

Can we disable the led display on the board while the power is off ?
And can we display anything else that error code ? Like temperature.

Thanx

(Sorry with my english )

I think I'll bump vcore up to 1.33 or so.
I'm running BIOS 17b2

You may still have to adjust bios settings but the board won't underclock at idle in windows.

sounds like the bios is corrupted...you'll need to clear CMOS with battery out and don't forget to unplug the power cord...do that for about 5-10 minutes...once you go back into the bios, load the "optimized default" settings; save and then re-enter the bios to set up the way you want it.

let us know the result.

EDIT:..if this does not work, i would suggest you upgrade the bios to a higher beta or go with the official 16 bios.

Thanks again. Now I install uGuru (v3104) on Vista and I get this message "abit uGuru Application has stopped working". Do anyone knows why I am getting this message? Any help would be appreciated.

I uninstalled uguru about 2 days after it was installed.. I did finally get it to work, but didn't like it...
I always just use Hwmonitor and cpuz...

3.107 Uguru version should be the only version to use...it is the latest version that works in Vista 64...but...to close it, you have to use the task manager (under 'Applications' tab) in vista 64...32 bit OS, it will close out normally.
