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

[THE_Prodigy]

Hello everyone,
Not sure whre to post this.
I want to mod[update] the Raid and Ahci(don't know if there are separated) of my Abit IP35 PRO motherboard.
I have the latest official bios for my MB, and that is BIOS 17. I want to update the RAID(and AHCI?) from version 7.5.0.1017 to the latest version available on INTEL site: v8.6.0.1007.
The info related to this BIOS from INTEL is HERE.
My problem is i can't extract de RAID ROM from INTEL bios(.bio file).
Hope that someone here can help me, maybe post the moded bios directly.
Thanx in advance.
P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

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

<18 there no E0 support...

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.

After you reset the bios and get in you need to do the following:

Change the IDE delay time from 0 -> 5 seconds or more

Next time you want to enter the BIOS only press the DEL key after you see the memory speed displayed in the post screen and you will be in....

[Kallileo]

I have Vcore = 1.32, Vtt=1.30 and Vmch = 1.37 set in bios...Is this ok for 24/7 with watercooling?
I was surprised by IP35 Pro overclocking abilities with quad cpu...

@Discoboy
The IDE delay thing didn't work for me...

If you're using a USB keyboard, try tapping the Pause/Break key, at the same while tapping the Del key. Seems to be more of a problem with USB keyboard + Raid enabled.

[Vatos_locos]

i have the same problem with raid enable and usb keyboard :p no bios

have anyone tested max fsb on quads ? mine goes up to 480 Mhz then no more :/

[Kallileo]

vailr
Yes I use usb keyboard and have a raid array.

i have the same problem with raid enable and usb keyboard :p no bios

have anyone tested max fsb on quads ? mine goes up to 480 Mhz then no more :/

Vatos

Voltage settings you use for 480 fsb? Any extra cooling for Northbridge?
I'm going to try today..

[Vatos_locos]

water for the cpu+NB 1.48V for 470 on C2Q's and 540Mhz Max on C2D's

If you're using a USB keyboard, try tapping the Pause/Break key, at the same while tapping the Del key. Seems to be more of a problem with USB keyboard + Raid enabled.

btw this is not working on me the only way to get me in the bios is to have 2 keyboards

[Kallileo]

I have plugged the keyboard in to PS2 port and it's working.

Try setting the IDE Delay to 1 or 5.

Nice thread. Can anyone tell me whether the PRO has 6 fan headers which can also control fans?

[rockfella]

Which software did you use to strees CPU? nice temps must say!

Yes it does - CPU, SYS, and AUX x4.

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 managed to get the QX9770 running with the IP35 PRO but it is impossible to get into the BIOS (can anyone help).. To change anything in the BIOS not in the uGURU options I have to swap back to my E6600 and boot, then replace the E6600 with the QX9770.

Currently running 100% stable @ 333 MHz FSB, memory divider of 5/6 and a multiplier of 10.5. (3.5 GHz). Soon I'll push for some more but if I crash the system there is a good chance I will have to swap back to the E6600 to recover the system- something I don't want to do.

[OC4/3]

Anyone experience the same thing as me?
I am using an E1200(Lend from friend,damm local retail shop for E8600 availability)
I set 400x8 in bios,posted@400x8,window show 200x8 and my pi time is what to expect from 200x8 so any idea???
Bios is rebels heaven 18 modded

[OC4/3]

Problem solve after flashing with abit beta 18 bios,wish everyone on xs a happy new year and another good year of benching

had a little drama at the Corsair Thread...maybe someone here had the same situation....

Mr Yellowbeard, I installed these two modules and I get this staticky noise/flickering artifact:
--- I went to the Abit IP35 PRO BIOS...everything is set at default right now...and when I tried to adjust the timing to 5-5-5-15 and voltage...all I saw was a lot of flickering...I can set to Manual vs Automatic....but when I get to voltage, all my options are scrolling up and down rapidly.

I tried capturing the noise by using Audicity...but I cannot even name the file coz I cannot type a name coz the cursor keeps scrolling thru....

I tried using one module at a time but, same effect every time.

am I missing something?

weird....I unplugged my USB KB (Saitek Eclipse--blue lights) and noise is gone and I don't hear the static stuff....running on one module:




not sure what else I'm running wrong...will try to add the other module next

UPDATE: after unplugging the USB KB, using an old ps/2 kb...then adjusting the timing per listed on said memory module:



seems running better now....weird....I'm no poser-wannabe---I really don't know what this all means....just want a stable rig...after all dust settles...I'm going back to default safe BIOS per aBit...

thanks

damn Saitek KB...always gave me problems....

At one point a while back, I think there was an issue with certain USB keyboards and this MOBO. Look for a USB device option to change the keyboard and mouse support, or see if you can navigate the BIOS using a PS2 keyboard if you have one. Also, make sure you have the most recent BIOS.

update:
had remove the Corsair Module Fans...too loud and retention bracket is very loose...if made to fit tight, it vibrated too much....plus don't like how the retention bracket being so close to vidcard

System setting now...if you can interpret, great help...


I'm not trying to OC...just stable enuff...

and yes, I connected the USB KB directly to one of the aBit mobo USB...before I had the USB KB connected thru the Dell UltraSharp 2407FPW-HC's USB.....no more noise...and static artifact

advance thanks, I see some familiar names here

Got this RAM: G.Skill 4GB DDR2 PK PC2-6400 (2x2GB) CAS4, my supplier was running it at 546mhz, 2.3v, 5-5-5-15, trfc 52, pl 7 but he was using rampage formula. On my ip35-pro I can't get stable 540mhz, 2.3 5-5-5-15, trfc 52, pl 8.

Now I'm trying to volt up my MCH and see if it changes anything, if won't help will try to set ddr2 ref +2% and if it doesn't help will try to set tras to 18.

What you guys think - is it possible to clock this ram on ip35-pro as he clocked it on rampage formula?

[iron fist]

hi everyone..
i'm having problems with abit ip35 pro offlimits and i hope you guys can help me out.

i'll start with my first problem..my mobo comes with bios version 11 and for some reason when i try to update the bios to the latest official version 17 using the flash menu utility that comes with the mobo i get this error "this file dosen't support BIOS LOCK function"
then it refuses to updated.

the 2nd problem is one of the reasons that made me want to update the bios..the problem is that the mobo dose a police siren like sound randomly when playing some games or when using windows in safe mode..surprisingly this sound stops immediately when i run abitEQ utility and never happens if abitEQ is running even if i'm playing

3rd problem is that i have the dual boot up bug when the mobo boots then shuts down and reboots again on it's own at the start.

4th problem is that abit Uguru isn't showing me any status when running it..the standalone abitEQ works fine tho

here are my specs along side the mobo
intel core2duo E6650 2.33
sapphire hd4870 1gb graphic card
2 king stone ramsticks 2gb each
epsilon 700watt psu

i'd really appreciate the help

btw i had an a 8800gts 320 graphic card before i switched to this new one and i had a 500 watt psu with only 4 bin cpu power connector before this one..the sound never accrued back then but now this sound thin appeared out of no where..

i have a question about my cpu..is it fully supported by this mobo? cus i get some hitching while laying games even when the graphics are on the low setting..something like a stable hitching that always happens in some games like bioshock and tomb raider legend.

[kuebk]

Never try to update your bios under windows, mostly it won't flash your bios or will fail at flashing.

As far as I remember new bios should fix 2nd and 3rd problem.

About uGuru try to update to newest version and yes your CPU is fully supported by this mobo.

[iron fist]

ok so what should i do? i don't have a floopy but i heared that the bios can be updated from a flash drive..is that right?
i have some questions.

can the bios be updated from a dvd rw like booting by making the system boot from cd?
would it refuse the file like it did in windows?
i got the bios file from here.

You can burn a bootable CD with bios files too same as you can use pendrive.

In DOS it can refuse to update only if you have wrong files.
