Both boards use the same core design for the power section. IP35 Pro has an additional circuit to improve overclocking although I didn't see any improvement with my CPUs (E4300 and E6320). Both should be able to push a capable CPU up to 500MHz, which is more than adequate for all current Intel processors. The sweet spot for these chips is 430 to 490MHz FSB.
The PWM circuit can get toasty with quads. IP35-E's PWM temperature is lower than IP35 Pro under load because it is not connected to the hot NB heat sink. The Pro version uses one heat pipe cooler for the NB, SB, and MOSFET.
