What memory would be recommended for having 4GB with this board?

2x2GB or 4x1GB? And what memory exactly?

**Dami3n** · 08-08-2007, 04:34 PM

My floppy is dead

, how can i flash the bios without it?

Use a USB flash drive. Look here for instructions:

Thanks for link

I've noticed my cpu temp is up several degrees with the newest beta. I was idling at about 33c before, now it's around 40-41c idle. I watercool the cpu (Apogee GT) so I think this is abit (no pun intended) high.

SEE...i noticed a drop for my B3-Q6600...so...everyone is getting mixed results...small swings in both directions.

Should be fine, already seen people using the above ram with the Abit IP35 PRO, I added it to the original thread for memory compatability.

**andyddr** · 08-09-2007, 06:20 AM

What's the best Bios to use on this board?

this link will show you "tested" memory..remember, mushkin uses other memory maker chips probably the same that are listed in the link under different manufacturers.

No info for "us" third world IP35 "non" PRO customers?
NO BIOS, NO NOTHING, REALLY NICE.
Kudos ABIT

**anomalos** · 08-09-2007, 11:18 AM

Advised the best ones to me ram for this mobo?
Thanks!

**Dami3n** · 08-09-2007, 11:29 AM

Nelly, you can add to the compatable ram list my GSKILL F2-5400CL3D-2GBGA 3-4-3-8.

**MADMAX22** · 08-09-2007, 11:34 AM

4x1gb or 2x1gb of tracers 8500 work liek a charm in this baord. They oc like mad with this thing.

what the heck are YOU talking about!!!...have you visited abit's world wide website...probably NOT!

PLEASE, before you come into any forum to rant about support, go to the website to see if there is a bios update for the non pro boards....i just checked and there are two official bios releases for the IP35 (non-Pro) and IP35E!...i got news for you; the Pro board only has only two official bios releases to date.

What is the PWM temp sensor for? I'm loading Prime right now... and it is reported as 79C!

Though warning is at 100C... but still, 79C? Is it supposed to get that high?

from what I have read it will shutoff after 125C...it is normal for the PWM to get VERY hot.....especially with a quad core

pwm:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse-width_modulation

Voltage regulation
Main article: Switched-mode power supply
PWM is also used in efficient voltage regulators. By switching voltage to the load with the appropriate duty cycle, the output will approximate a voltage at the desired level. The switching noise is usually filtered with an inductor and a capacitor.

One method measures the output voltage. When it is lower than the desired voltage, it turns on the switch. When the output voltage is above the desired voltage, it turns off the switch.

using Crucial Ballistix DDR2 1066 now, no issues as of yet, currently running stock speeds with 4-4-4-12 timings@2.35volts. Have yet to try for DDR2 1200

I didn't even mention - I am using a Kingston Hyper-X DDR2-800 2GB kit (part: KHX6400D2LLK2/2GN, which is the EPP version). I'm currently running 425MHz at 4-4-4-13 2.1v.

What's up?

Anyone have a decent solution for custom cooling of the PWMs?

I supposed one could cut the heatpipe?

Do you think individually taped microcool sinks with a small fan would be sufficient? How about copper?

I'm a little wary of cutting up a larger heatsink, because I do have concerns that not all of the chips will make contact with a custom single piece heatsink, unless I steal the thick stock tim pad.

What are some solutions that folks are using? Certainly someone is watercooling the nb, how are they cooling the pwm?

Current overclock: 9*400 Ram@400mhz 5-5-5-15 bios 1.0
e6600 (29b), crucial anniversary, ifx-14, corsair hx620, evga 800gts

Also, if you are interested in the ip35 and performance with the Thermalright IFX-14 and Ultra120X, check out my review.

well...i did this to enhance the cooling solution with the heat pipe system installed:

What mobo are you using them on the IP35 pro or the one in your sig. If your on the IP35 pro your way overvolting for what you need to get those speeds and timings. This wboard should do that with 1T at 2.17vdimm or so.

**vampire338** · 08-09-2007, 11:09 PM

the olny thing i hate about this board is you cant run sli. to bad i can olny use a single 8800 ultra.
