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

[MADMAX22]

here is 480 FSB after 10+ minutes of everest stressing...i think 485 FSB (8X) is going to be more challenging with the vcore having to scale much higher....right now bios set to 1.5150 with an idle vcore of 1.475v...that is measured from the board...under load it drops about another 0.04v, maybe 0.05v...i'll check after posting this picture.

EDIT:...checked the actual load vcore from the board and it is 1.43v...actually, like 1.428v

Thats really good. It sucks about the vdroop on this board. I gotta get the mod done once I muster up the challenge. Thats about the same droop that uguru reports on my board and last I checked uguru vcore was dead on with the multimeter reading from the board.Thats still really good for a quad.

thanks ACE, I mean AstroCreep

Could you post a screen shot of where to enable/disable?
Can't seem to find it on the "Intel Matrix Storage Manager Console"
v. 7.6.0.1011.

Right click the volume & it pops up

@Ace-aRue should I need to know something using the 1066 strap with this Quad Core?

just be aware that the 1066 strap makes a bit more difficult to maximize your overclock...try it at 1:1 or 1:1.20 settings...those two are the 1333 memory strap settings.

as i thought, 485 FSB is a "big" challenge...hehehe...i am going to stay at 480 X 8= 3840 Mhz.

i agree, this chip is doing great...i just got in my Ultima 90 heatsink...i'm going to set that up tonight after my workout.

i have been thinking about the mod myself...i'll definitely need to practice first...i need a new low power soldering iron so i don't remove the resistor...LOL

Just gone back to the sound card for a bit more practice.

Mistakes I can spot. Wire Shields should be closer to the ends of the resistor legs. Just dropped a couple of gloops of super glue over those solders.

Globule of solder on the far right IC a bit big. Globule on the left could do with a snip just at the end.

Difference in what I'm doing now. I'm tinning the ends of the wires first. The wires are smaller and off a CD IDE cable.

As I say I did initially post over at the Xmods section, but haven't had a reply in what 12 hours+.

The solder does seem to stick a lot easier on this card than the motherboard though.

Cheers

Did exactly that yesterday on one of my test runs. Came as a bit of a surprise

Hi,

Just done the vdroop mod and it's worth it



before vmod: 1,45v bios = 1,40v idle / 1,37v load

after vmod : 1,45v bios = 1,44v idle / 1,45V load

[Dredd]

A bit off topic but does anyone know how likely it is to get a G0 Q6600 from newegg or zipzoomfly? They have cheaper shipping options than clubit which has G0 guaranteed and tankguys (they have no stock anyway).

hi guys!

anybody knows the pll (setfsb) for this motherboard?

thanks...

I really wouldnt risk it, I know Newegg has been giving out both G0 and B3, I know a couple of other sites offering G0, Ill try to find the links

Quick question, did you use a 1kOhm VR and if so what did you set it at, thanks!

[Dredd]

I don't mind to go with a B3 I'm just looking at prices and if I can save a bit of cash on a risk then I'll risk. I'm not looking for an uber overclock. 400x8 would be fine for me 24/7. I can benefit from 4cores and extra overclock Mhz speed really won't make or break my day.

Here you have:

IP35 non pro, if you have the pro, you don't need setfsb at all.

whats the best price uve seen so far?

[strange|ife]

is a 15 watt iron too much you guys think? should i get a 10 watt?

also iw as just told not to use rosin core solder at all, but silver bearing solder.

I think someone who has done this mod succesfully should share the knowledge with a small guide in mods forum=]

personally my cloths look smoother with a 15 watt iron, but I do have it OCd to 17 watts!

Would be nice. 24 hours and still nothing in the Vmod thread.

I used the silver compound(is that the right word), and a 20 watt iron. No longer than 2-3 secs over the IC.

Just a few links I bookmarked

Got to take the board out today, so may well have another go.

Like this idea for the VR. Wires maybe not the best to work with though. Tested the ends with a MM and it's fine.

To quote Johnny Bravo who kindly found the mod. "620-650 ohms seems to work best"

Yes , a 1K. (followed the johnny bravo mod)

I get into bios ( window µguru voltage monitoring) and turn the VR till I get the same value as the one I choose in the bios.

i have a question,
this mothreboard can't pass over 3.6ghz in Q6600 g0 without vdrop mods?
