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

My understanding is that most of the newer HD-codecs are pretty decent unless you're planning on gaming. Their EAX implementation is crap.

I am heavily gamer oriented so you're saying XFI is the only way to go?

Pretty much, yeah.
Might also want to look into that new XFi-based card that's made by another company (I don't rememeber who though).
Creative is licensing the Xfi chip to other MFGs, like nVidia & ATi do for their GPUs.

[Mr.Bones]

Has anyone ran an e6400 on this board ??

[MikalCarbine]

YES!...don't forget to flash your boot block!

What option under awdflash ensures this?

I seem to have a problem around ~520FSB, when I set it that fsb even with a low multiplier upon saving my settings my board hangs on the C1 diagnostic display. I looked it up in the manual and it refers to the memory or the L2 cache of the cpu. The memory is below stock, and the CPU is only at 3Ghz. Is this the dreaded FSB wall I ph33r? I've tried upping vtt slightly and playing with GTL but the board still hangs. Does anyone experience this?

the "WB" switch is the one that flashes the Boot Block...

your problem could be not high enough vcore, MCH, ICHIO 1.5, ICH 1.05 and Vdimm...vcore is the most important element...

what kind of cpu cooler are you using?

[MikalCarbine]

I have a Storm R2, I've been debating on lapping my C2D for some better temps. I have never gone over 55C load with over 1.55v at 3.9Ghz with this CPU

My Vcore was at 1.49 while my CPU was at 3Ghz, which it can easily do under stock. I can hit 500Mhz with 1.41v on MCH and I tried up to 1.5ish with no help. My memory is underclocked with 2.0vdimm

One thing I could try pushing a little more is ICHIO and ICH

Hi,

I've flash my board with the B04 bios but not flashed the boot block.

Is there a big pb?

For instant, everything is ok. I run at 3.6 Ghz (9 x 401) memory at 1002 Mhz 5/5/5/15.

Must I flash the board again with WD switch?

I will tomorrow but it's an early week...only 3.4Ghz stable at 1.4v (actual).

so...not gonna see anything amazing from me posting here.

Mines an early week also.......Im curious to see how it does.

I'll post what I get...I'm not hopeful because I tried up to 1.55v and only got to 3.4Ghz any more and no windows boot. It's just not a very good overclocking CPU by comparison of others available.

I'm shooting for 425Mhz FSB, 3.4Ghz CPU, DDR2-850 4-4-4-12 1T which I should be able to do easily.

I can't get 3.4Ghz stable, but I can run up to 503+ FSB and get through some benchmarks with 6x multi. My memory is not stable enough on this board (4 slots filled maybe why?) to do DDR2-1000 without over 2.250v which I am not going beyond. I am currently settled in at 400FSB DDR2-800 4-4-4-12 1T at 2.25v (2.1v is not stable with 1T). This only gives 3.2Ghz but like I said, my CPU won't do more than 3.4 and that's a stretch really to be honest. I can get it to boot at 1.4v and 3.4Ghz, but Vista froze at some point every time even up to 1.45v so I gave up and went to 3.2Ghz.
