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

[T2k]

SO nobody knows anything about IP35 (non-pro)?

[T2k]

where did you get the idea that this an SLI board?...this chipset does not support SLI!

Geee...

[new-b]

Get the latest CPU-Z Beta. 1.40.8..

Looking for that, I found a Beta 1.40.9......that finally shows my Vcore correctly.
(forgive the low OC....I just got the board )

the only difference i know of; there is no Uguru chip on the board.

other than that just go to abit's site and look at the differences between the two boards

[bingo13]

heh bingo: what kind of volts are u using for 1260Mhz? timings?

2.4V, 5-5-5-18

[GAR]

ok, so PCI-E mhz goes up to 200mhz, does this mean it supports pci-e 2.0?

[Ace-a-Rue]

i think the bios says 1.0a or 1.0.

I did, that's why I posted here... thanks for the uguru info - does it matter in terms of OC (I'm running a hi-flo 1/2" custom CPU-chipset-VGA-Physx w/ 2x1048-based WC)?

[T2k]

sorry to say I am sending this mobo back for a refund...I have ordered the DFI LanParty UT P35-T2R as it's replacement

Since DFI deliberately killed the DFI support forum called dfi-street.com I won't touch a DFI board ever again until they bring it back.

Uguru is the fun part about the board...it makes life so much easier to change overclock settings right in windows desktop...the other thing might be the CMOS reset switch next to the PS/2 ports might not be on the non-pro board...that is a nice feature when you have gone beyond a reasonable overclock setting...don't have to pull the side cover off.

Ah, I remember now something... thanks, I'm a BIOS guy anyway.

Although my side panel is usually open, especially during intial setup including OC, it is a nice extra, I agree - however it is certainly not a deal-breaker on IP35 if I get it for $100...

See, that's why I'm avoiding DFI right now; because I don't know the full story. If I did I would either say "Grab a DFI board" () or "Boycott DFI" ().

[Goone]

Thanks guys for the help cooling off the pwm, damn this thing is hot.

[Magic Chief]

I had the same problem.

My GSkills, only 1 stick, booted in the last slot, then I set 2.1v, then stuck in the 2nd stick, in slot 2, and booted up.

Flashed to BIOS 11, and its all fine now, boots after clearing CMOS also, in any slot, any amount of Sticks. BIOS 10, sucks. Period =X.

Yeah I was using the beta 12 and switched back to official 11. I put one in ram slot 4 and cleared CMOS with switch and jumper. Using 2.1v. Also I can't use 2 and 4 together. Only 1, 2, and 3 work. Even with that I am still getting corrupt downloads in all of those slots. Which could be memory but it passes memtest.

are you using dial up, DSL or cable?

what about trying an USB, PCI or PCIe network card to see if you can eliminate the two board network chipsets.

Managed to reach 490fsb on my xeon x3220 (B3) this morning. Was shooting for 500fsb but it wouldnt load vista all the way before crashing. Looks like a vmch mod is in order.

Celeron 440@3800mhz@stock cooling

Abit IP35-E fans on chipset
ICH 1.7v
MCH 1.410v
Vcore 1.58v from bios
vmem 2.2v
(Ocz Reaper 6400)

Flat 19 sec in sp1m, Any suggestions for memsetting's? (these wont go to 500)

got my 6400 repear @ 500, 2.1volts timings 5.7.5 23, maybe worth a try

[scwam]

Anyone know a way to reduce the vcore lower than 1.325 for the IP35 (mid level)? I have the newest bios so I suppose the old bios wouldn't have that option either. I would like to use less than 178 watts when downloading.

T2K:
I have to mid-level ip35. My maximum fsb is somewhere between 465 to 485 no matter what multi is used. I can not boot it at all over 499 fsb. Either chip or the board, I don't know. The chip can do 4100mhz though. The board is fine except for that and the CMOS Jumper is in a inconvenient place and sometimes hard to reach. Double boot happens almost every time. One of my sata slots fell off exposing the pins on it. That part is not the best quality, it went back on and works but can be easily pulled off again. There is also no Uguru. If those things don't bother your then everything else is ok.

Yep still same problem. I am just going to rma the board and memory.

[Dredd]

Well, then I have to tell you the truth, I don't give a damn about SLI cticker, you know.
If it works, it works, if it isn't then isn't - couldn't care less about stickers or any other 'bling' on a mobo...

it's not worth the hassle of using unsigned drivers & hacks to get it to half work.

[bfox2]

Can anyone help me with the PWM temp at 85 current running prime95 quad core 1.35 vc 62 degree load, TR ultra extreme. thanks

My board is doing the same thing. I messed with the pipe before i installed it and tried to get it to sit flat, but my temps are the same.. Anyone else beside me and this guy getting these hot temps. Q6600 @3.5, 1.4v real here... pwm temps are approaching 80 when priming, but proc is holding at like 59-61 My ambient is like 40C reading from mobo sensor.

have you looked over this mod? (top of page)

I have a new one for ya concerning eSATA; anyone using eSATA yet?

I'm using an eSATA enclosure for backups and it seems that the drive doesn't appear in the 'Safely Remove Hardware' option in the systray. I know it's not USB, but in older systems I've seen it where you can add/remove SATA devices this way (namely the nForce-based systems).
Does anyone think that by just turning off the enclosure that it will screw up the drive/data at all? The only other thing I can think of would be dismounting it via command prompt, but it still shows up under 'My Computer' that way.

Any thoughts/ideas/suggestions?
TIA!

i have been 50/50 with disconnecting my USB drive before turning it off and so far, no damage to the drive.

Anyone having issues with SATA under Vista x32???? do i need to install any other drivers for the sata to work properly other than the intel chipset drivers????
