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

[ssboisen]

yes.
the CPUFan header on the Pro will only control a 4-pin PWM fan - if you have a 3-pin & want to control it move it to another header.

Hmm, I'm running a 3-pin Nexus Real Silent fan of the 4-pin CPUFan header, and it controls it just fine as fare as I can see.

CONTROL or RUN. If it is controlling it, then you should be able to increase and decrease the rpm on the fan through %. But it is capable of running it either way, but on the 4 pin, you can't control the speed of the fan. I have a 3pin fan controller on my cnps9500 but I can't control the speed (it doesn't matter though since I found my fan controller). But it will run fine. This is all on the 4pin header.

BTW, I just got my memory to run DDR800 @ 4-4-4-12-1T @ 1.9v. The thing is that I doubt it's running that fast only because I don't think I've seen 4 sticks run at 1T and those tight timings.

I am able to control the speed of the fan through the % setting in bios.

I thought it wouldn't work, but looking at the fan, I can see that it is spinning slower or faster compared to the %-setting I have set in bios.

It must be Aliens then

Is there any chance to give the CPU more than 600MHz of FSB with that board?

Nope. Limit is 200-600mhz FSB

I never had to leave ASUS

Can't imagine why you would need that much FSB. I mean if you wanted to break some WRs you should have gone with the P35 DFI. Overall this motherboard is excellent and gives excellent overclocks for the price.

I 2nd that overall this board a great piece of kit without taking the price into consideration, when you do that its hard too see why anyone wouldn't buy it as its more than capable of maxing 95% of peoples kit out.

IP35 Pro - I'm running a 3-pin Vantec Stealth on the 4-pin CPU Fan header without issue, RPM's go up and down.


AW9D Max - Will not control a 3-pin Vantec Stealth on the 4-pin CPU Fan header.

Not only about that. (When I bought the IP35 Pro the DFI P35 T2R wasn't released, otherwise I'd have one now). IMO being limited by a motherboard when a chipset is capable to do more than 600MHz is a shame.

Yes I agree I hate being motherboard limited however I think the limiting factor for the majority of people will be the CPU.

Don't take this the wrong way but how many people do you know with CPU's that can break 600fsb.

could AS5 be use instead of ceramic for your mod, thx

yes, but i personally avoid it since clamping pressure, if extreme, can make AS5 electrically conductive.

[Hazzan]

Nope. Limit is 200-600mhz FSB

try with the last bios....You can set higher FSB 600 from bios boot to windows..

I use OCCT to load my PC. So I ran it and around 10min into testing my PC freezes. The mouse and keyboard(G15) do not respond. I waited 10-15min and still nothing. I restart and the Intel raid manager says that there is a problem with that data on the volume.

My clocks are bone stock.

It only seems stable with no load. (ie: at desktop and surfing the internet)

I played some Battlefield 1942 and when I quit a memory error message popped up. Don't know if this is related.

Temps are fine and so are the volts.

sorry for the bump.

The IP35-E & IP35 can but the Pro can't afaik (uGuru related I believe) although MoN's experience refutes that - do you have a Pro?

The Pro has been known to run over 600fsb - there's a thread here with it at 610 iirc but running at that fsb the latencies are eased so your performance drops.

[Soulburner]

Has anyone here had problems with the combination of a Corsair 520W and the IP35?

I get a high frequency noise coming from the motherboard, when I use my Corsair. It gets louder and more obtrusive under load. It is quite loud and I can clearly hear it even with the cabinet closed (P182)

When I switch to my Seasonic S12-430, the noise almost disappears.

Just finished off a build with an IP35 and Corsair 520HX.

No noises, very quiet system overall.

E6550 @ 460x7 = 3220mhz
Stock volts, 1.1v idle, 1.29v under load and C1E and EIST enabled
Stock volts on CPU, NB, everything...
2gb Crucial Ballistix @ 2.1v

Maybe it only happens under higher loads?

I just attempted the vdroop mod and everything WAS excellent until I tried booting. Post Error Code 8.7. - Check CPU core voltage so I tried removing all the fan connectors except cpu; attempted boot with 1 stick of ram; removed graphics card ; Even unplugged 8-pin connector and I still get the same code 8.7. I removed the vdroop mod and all the wires and still same code!
I'm uploading the pictures right now. I thought it was quite good. I don't know wtf happened. BTW, I set the VR @ 637ohms.

JB, I sure can use you're words of wisdom right now since I performed this thing exactly like you showed:

This couldn't be because OCCT is using all of your CPU cycles could it. Try running OCCT, right click it in Windows task manager and change it's priority to lowest.

[Alik4041]

Here are the pictures. Just thinking about how hard it was to get the job done with that solder iron tip and 2.4mm solder make me want to scream! BAH!
I used an IDE wire for the mod. It looked much cleaner but I guess it didn't work .

[Alik4041]

PROBLEM FIXED ! The cpu wasn't properly seated There goes a perfectly good mod

Never thought about that. I will try it.

Thanks.

Anyone know of a spot where you can read the vdimm voltage?
