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

[OC4/3]

No. "DRAM Timing Selectable" is a individual Item in all the Official BIOS that allows setting all the memory timings if you want, but it's not necessary.

So, "DRAM Timing Selectable" has to be set to "Manual" for Performance Level to work.

Also leave both "Invoke Boot Agent" set to "Enable"(that is the default)

MCHBAR is unlocked by default. I didn't make it selectable.

And, I re-tested all the .ZZZ Mod BIOS and they are all working properly on my setup which is nearly the same as yours...

Hmm..........Dram timing selectable is on manual as all of my timing is almost manually set
Even so,performance level is not working/
Both Invoke Boot Agent is enable but only 1 lan port is enable,could it be the reason??
I know that.Hmm,maybe i should reflash and do a cold boot,maybe doing that later.

[OC4/3]

Finally,get the rebels heaven bios to work by enable invoke boot agent

[RebelsHaven]

Glad you got it going

Here's another to play with. I call it the "Strap Tweaker" BIOS. It is fully tested. There was no room for Performance Level with a quick mod....

Note: Set "DRAM Timing Selectable" to "Manual" to enable Strap Controls. Leave both "Invoke Boot Agent" Items set on "Enable".

Thanks but PL and MCHBAR unlock is plenty to play around with for some time
Thanks for your contribution toward Abit IP35 Pro owner

Glad to help out and work on such a great Motherboard! It's just a shame that ABIT is falling by the wayside.....

It sucks indeed. First EPoX and now abit. Those were 2 of the best enthusiast board makers ever, IMO.

Hi Guys
I was recommended to this thread by user in the Hexus abit forums:
I have the following specs:
Intel Quad Core Q6600 with a Scythe Ninja Plus Rev B
ABIT/IP-35 S775 MOBO (dark raider)
Enermax 650w infinti PSU
4GB (2x2GB) Corsair TwinX XMS2
XFX Geforce 8800 Ultra

Ive had it since the start of the year and it works absolutely fine with one small problem that ive just been living with.

The computer will not shutdown. Ever. It just restarts everytime (via dual boot). Ive become used to just switching the power off at the mains when i shutdown, but this cause problems with dates and times and is just plain annoying.

I read in a similar thread that the infiniti and ip35 dont work together. Has anyone else got this combo and problem? Does anyone know how to fix it?

I have the latest (18) bios too.

I just want the damn thing to switch off when im done.

Any help you can offer would be great.

Cheers

Anyone think this board can do 600FSB PL9 or PL10??
Trying tomorrow

Hope they can release a "final" v.18 bios for the IP35-Pro board...

Hey all,

I just bought 8gb of ram to replace my current 4gb. It's 2 4gb (2x2GB) sets of ram.

Here it is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820220335

Here's the "review" that encouraged me to buy it: http://www.anandtech.com/guides/showdoc.aspx?i=3476&p=3

My problem is that I can't even get my box to boot with one single stick in any slot. Even if I reset the BIOS, set the RAM voltage to 2.2, speed to 800mhz and timings to 5-5-5-15. All I get is a C1 error code and a long beep that lasts about 1 second and repeats.

Any ideas? I've tried everything to just get 1 stick to boot, let alone 4.

Thanks,
-Keetha

It could just be that the abit board doesn't like that particular Patriot RAM. I have the same silver G.Skill Pi in that Anandtech review and it does nice in the IP-35 Pro.

I have IP-35 Pro, BIOS 16, and Infinity 720. Never had any prob with not shutting down like you describe, but you have the vanilla model IP-35. The Infiniti's are somewhat picky about the power they're fed too, so make sure your AC ground is good, etc. It also could be defective. Have you thought about RMA?

Installed my Q9550 E0 tonight using Bios 17. Problem - after booting-up and going into Windows, the system shuts down b/c it reads that the cpu is at 103c. I reseated the hsf and everything is at stock. When I go into the bios, it will flash 67c for a sec but then goes straight to 103c for cpu. Is this a bios issue and maybe I should try bios 18?

edit - Upgrading to Bio 18 resolved my issues. First, it identified my cpu as a Q9550 which it didn't with bios 17. It also recognized the correct speed 2.83ghz instead of 2.89ghz. When I went to check temps in the bios, it went up to 137c for a second and almost gave me a heart attack but it then dropped down to 37c. It's frickin fast!

I have the same problem... Will do the update today.

I have an IP35 PRO (Not XE) and I have been "given" a QX9770..

Yes it is a hard life. Can I et these to work together or do I need a new mainboard? Thanks for your help...

[aztec]

The QX 9770 will work on the IP-35 Pro, but you'll have the 1333 FSB speed of the Pro, not the full 1600 MHz of the CPU.

I have an ip35 pro with enermanx infinity 650 and bios ver.17 and I don't have any shutdown problems. The system turns off and then on for ~ 10 sec, depending on psu temperature (Enermax CoolGuard) and finally turns-off completely. Maybe is samething else that cause your problem. Did you try another psu?

Hey all!

I'm glad I found this board of ABIT IP35 PRO gurus. Can you help out a little bit of a return-newbie to this mobo?


I have a system I put together some time ago. I went with a bit of a minimalist approach and did not use the Quick-Install function on the included CD. Instead, I opted to install drivers one at a time, manually, with updated ones I found.
The user is not using RAID. The SATA drives worked just fine without any drivers. Windows Update picked up the RealTek Ethernet Driver. And Windows also picked up an HD Audio Driver that worked fine--can't remember if I installed the RealTek one or not with the extra options. In other words, I THINK all I installed was the chipset driver...


I've since been working with other boards and have come back to this one and can't remember for the life of me which of all these drivers I used or didn't use. I was hoping someone could help me out and give me sort of the "noob-look" at each of these drivers and why or why not I should consider getting them installed.


I checked the main ABIT site and grabbed all the updated stuff:

• INTEL Application Accelerator RAID Driver - I don't think this should be needed... no RAID is being utilized... only 1 hard drive anyways.
• INTEL Chipset Driver - The main mobo driver... handles all the USB and stuff too... installed. The ABIT site lists v9.0.0.1007 but I grabbed 1008 off this site.
• Intel RAID/AHCI Installation Disk - I'm not even sure what this is.. but it seems related to RAID.. so I skipped it.
• JMicron RAID/AHCI Installation Disk - The same thing.. but for JMicron.. not sure what that means.. but skipped it too.
• JMicron SATA Driver - All the HDDs are working fine... I skipped this because I'm not sure it's needed...
• Realtek High Definition Audio Driver - Skipped so far, since the audio is working great. Does installing it get you anything other than some fancy effects software? I notice R190 on the abit site, R196 posted here.
• Realtek LAN Driver - This isn't even on the ABIT site... but Windows Update picked it up.. so I assume it should be all set.
• Intel Matrix Storage Manager - I notice this topic also lists this thing... no idea what this is, but I have not installed it.
• uGuru - Lastly, uGuru... I remember the last time I did NOT install this, and device manager had an error because of uguru on the board.. I ended up finding a way to install the driver and NOT the software, and can't remember for the life of me how it was done.

FYI this system is on Vista Ultimate 32-bit, with an nVidia 8800 GT.


All I really appreciate you helping me out. Ya'll are the best.

You need nothing from the above list...Maybe you should just update the sound driver since the last is around version 2.11.

Never install μGuru...on of the tiest software I have ever used....

Well I was looking for some more info really on what each thing really is for... it seems there are too many RAID things going on there... and what is even the purpose of the SATA driver?

You say I need nothing but it seems I would at least need the chipset driver.

Any word on how to install the board uguru driver without installing the software? (to fix the unknown device in device manager)

Thanks

[aztec]

Which version have you used? v3.109 works OK here.

[Kallileo]

You would need JMicron Sata drivers if you used e-sata devices. Since you have no raid array you need no drivers for it. Raid installation disk are needed when you want to install windows on the array.
Just instal mGuru but I suggest to never run it.

Ah ok.. so JMicro SATA Drivers are for e-sata.. Good to know
Ok, so there's the RAID drivers to set it up.. And the install disk if you need to start up RAID right from the get-go and put Windows on it. Gotcha.
mGuru? Or uGuru? Not sure if that was a typo… I know for a FACT that I was able to install the uguru board driver WITHOUT the craptastic application last time. Maybe if I try to manually update the driver from Device Manager and point it toward the uGuru installation files?

[Kallileo]

Ok. I have problem after installing my new q9550 E0 and updating the bios to 18 beta. I can't enter the bios setup. The only way for me to enter the bios is to use clear cmos first.

[aztec]

If 18 doesn't work well, install 17 or 16.
