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

[Ace-a-Rue]

I've read the whole thread and I didn't find any clear confirmation so here's my question :

How is the IP35-E overclocking features ? How is the SATA ports ?

I'm planning to get this model for my file server to house my E4300 when I buy a Q6600 to replace it on my main PC. I don't need a board with plenty of fluff, only something reliable with enough overclocking options to push the E4300 to the same ballpark as currently with my BX2.

overclocks very good and has no sata problems, at least on the intel chipset side....i am going to put an IDE DVD drive on the Jmicron controller to see if it will conflict with my sata DVD drive on the intel sata port..will let you know.

the only thing that i am not overly impressed with is actual performance compared to its brothen AB9 QuadGT...i ran a PCMark 2005 on the QuadGT and a run on the IP35 Pro...the QuadGT beat out the IP35 Pro by 1000+ points...all the hardware is the same...only difference is the motherboard.
