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

[MADMAX22]

ordered mine today, will post this weekend with it on phase and my E6600 if it gets here in time. Seems like a really nice board.

[doom_st]

Some read points i have found.

I'm subscribing to this thread (new user) as I just returned my Infinity P965-S Dark because the freaking squealing it did was driving me nuts.

I'm a little confused here though; I read Evilsizer said it doesn't support 'fsb dividers'; what do you mean? Like, you can't drop the memory divider?

[Heidfirst]

I think that what he means is that they've removed the manually selectable nortbridge strap option in the current BIOS.

I'm new to the Intel 'perfomance computing' scene (been working with AMD systems for the last 5 years though) and I guess I'm not too familiar with that term; can you (or someone else) explain that to me a bit? Or have a link, perhaps?

this board is good...but...about on par with my QuadGT except for memory bandwidth....cpu: Q6600 on air

Super PI on IP35 was almost the same at 410 FSB as it was for the QuadGT board.

here is 495 FSB at 7X on the IP35...500 FSB (even at 6X) would freeze on me after 3 minutes of Prime 95:

need to post up cpu-z in that ss to show the timings and ram speed to fsb.

it's as fast as dfi p965 in Spi32m

Excellent time!! With my DFI 965-s at 4620Mhz i have 10 min 50 sec.
Can you try 32M with ram 5:6 at 618Mhz for me?
I'm very interesting this board!!

[xTr33m sammich!]

My DFI 680i ate my ram, I've been waiting around for these results to decide on a replacement. Only reason I am considering the P35 is because I run a Raid5 array, I'm not really keen on going back to another 680i solution...

HDtach scored my SATA-3 Raid5 at approx 350 burst and 90M read..
Does anyone have Raid-5 benchies for P35, abit or asus?

[boblemagnifique]

Crotale was playing with an FAE modified board, this is MODDED Abit IP35 board.

The current boards are very strong on bus but it only gets better, I cannot disclose the mod as I am not fully sure of details to be accurate.

Crotale has the 1M pi shot, mine was blurred.

World records were broken at Computex. % wise highest OC at the show. 6400 WR

WR 6400 ???? This WR is 613x8 or not Coeff 7

Hello boys, but someone is successful to send the ram to 1200? I have tried the teamgroup(1200 and extreem 800/1000) and the dominator but I do not succeed....bios 06/06....all divisor, all voltage

You aren't lucky with Ram over 600Mhz!!

[cjordan61]

it's as fast as dfi p965 in Spi32m or even faster.

What voltages are you using for this OC ?

[gandalfone]

Hehe...pippo this team 1200 passed spi 32M under dark al 1200Mhz 4.4.4.4.....and 1300Mhz under dfi 680LT spi1M

That team superoc(800/1000) passed spi 32M 5.5.5.15 under p5b dlx at 2.45v no mod........what's the problem mainboard or ram??

[TASOS]

You who have the board, can you please post what kind of clockgenerator your board has? (The big IC just below the upper most PCI-E 16X port)

Here it is.

[derektm]

I'm setting my board up now. The heatpipes have HORRIBLE contact on the core. Half of the core wasn't even touching the thermal pad. I fixed this by taking the heatpipes off and laying it on the board and by trial and error bent it until it layed flat on the board. This took forever... but now it is perfectly level.

[Ace-a-Rue]

i settled on 8X with 440 FSB...had to fall back from 450 FSB since one of my Dominator DDR2-1142 sticks bit the dust...presently using Teamgroup DDR2-1000...the highest FSB with my Q6600 was to 495 FSB at 7X using the Dominators...Teamgroup could only go to 490 FSB @ 7X...so...3520 Mhz @ 8X OR 3465 Mhz @ 7X ...sligtly better memory bandwidth at the higer FSB...appears to be an even trade off...i prefer raw power over memory bandwidth...years ago, i had the opposite opinion!

[QUOTE=Ace-a-Rue;2257201]...i prefer raw power over memory bandwidth...QUOTE]


Me too that is why I wish Intel would use dividers or find a way to unlink the memory like nvidia. Fast timings and raw CPU horsepower is what I like.

[NLight95]

what specific lian li case do you have?

I had the same issue with my old LL PC61USB case--the Thermal Ultra 120 was too tall. I couldn't slide the left door on because the U120 stuck out too much. I was getting tired of working in a mini-tower so I just decided to upgrade to a full size unit.

[doom_st]

What voltages are you using for this OC ?

2.27 mem
1.79 cpu
1.48 mch

[The Runner]

how does this board compare to the p5k deluxe?

[CornerJack]

First result with Abit IP35 PRO

The max FSB is 538MHz in aircooling and cascade... This CPU has a max FSB with P35-DS4 560MHz...



The max CPU-z with the X6800
CPU-z validator : http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=208764



And to finish, my best SuperPI !



It's a very good motherboard and OC Guru works perfect in XP !

Thank you for that. Comparisons always appreciated.

Does anyone know how the Gigabyte P35-DS4 compares to the P35-DS3P (for max FSB)? The only difference between the two seems to be the nb/sb/mosfet cooling system.

the P35-DS3P is even more affordable than the Abit.

Not that overclockers care but, I read that standby is broken on the Gigabyte boards. I can confirm that it works perfectly on the Abit.
