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

[Soulburner]

I had a feeling its conflicting with it, like the multiplier adjustment won't take unless you disable EIST, but I'd like to use them both...otherwise I'd have to settle for "only" 9x400 when I'd really like 8x450 for more FSB.

[Master of None]

same problem as my 6400HZ

Several are running HZ without a problem, one of the Mods at abit forums is running 4 x 1GB in a IP35 Pro without issue.

[TheGoat Eater]

Yes I'm aware of that its just that I know it works and it no worky in the IP-35PRO

Though I do like the fact that I can run at 525MHz FSB no problem - haven't tested max FSB yet

To whomever caught it I quoted myself by accident and removed it <-

[nimrod_o]

Has any 1 managed/know if the Vdrop mod would work on Abit Ip35 (non pro)?

[Ace-a-Rue]

it should be the same board without the Uguru chip on it.

[nimrod_o]

well I checked the mod forum...seems it is different and there is no guide on how to do this on a non pro version.
The actual motherboard layout is different....pity.

[Soulburner]

Up and running now with Ace-a-Rue's Heatpipe/Heatsink mod.

IP35 Pro
E6850
2x1GB Crucial Ballistix @ 5-5-5-15-30-2T

Running OCCT at 400x9=3600mhz @ 1.320v (CPU-Z)

I found that to have multiplier control you must disable EIST, which is a bummer. I tested 450x8=3600mhz and got an extra 1,000 points in 3DMark2001 which is roughly an average gain of 2-3&#37; per game test. Seems small but if its free, I'll take it. Only problem is I can't run that setting with EIST on otherwise it tries to run 450x9 (default multiplier).

Loved seeing Car Low, Dragothic Low, and Lobby Low all max out at 999fps though

At these settings uGuru is reporting that the PWM temp is just hitting 50c after 30 minutes of OCCT which is pretty good I did not add any fans to my heatsinks as I think its overkill - I have an NZXT Zero case which has 4 side fans, 2 rear, and my heatsink is the Enzotech Ultra-X which blows downward on the surrounding area (PWM, NB, etc). System temp shows 37c.

Maybe since 3600mhz was so effortless I should bump up my goal a bit. I need to take advantage of this RAM - I didn't buy it to run it at stock!

[scorpion]

damm is there anybody that can give me the heads up how to overclock the ip 35 pro, newbee to the board.

[Soulburner]

Try doing a bit of reading...its really simple. Even the user manual that comes with the board explains the functions of the BIOS.

[Jodiuh]

Helluva chip you got there. I need around 1.475 in bios to hit 3600 on the E6400. Temps get up towards 65C on the cpu.

EDIT: Damn this thread moves as fast as some of the AVS owner's threads! That's for Soul BTW.

[scorpion]

i have read butt it seems to be stuck at 3.2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I paid a little extra for the E6850 over the E6750 and E6550 (which I also bought one of) so I could get a little extra headroom and it seems to be paying off.

I am going to try for 400x9 as a daily stable setting, am testing OCCT to see what kind of voltage it takes to keep it there. I will then test some dividers to see what the memory can do, and its effect on performance. I want the kind of boost I got from running 450x8 but I can't do that with C1E/EIST so I'm forced to run 400x9 and use a divider to get the memory back up there.

The Heatpipe/Heatsink mod posted by Ace-A-Rue has helped tremendously though. I am only seeing a 50c PWM loaded with stress testing at the moment, probably higher with more ambient temp (gaming) but thats nothing near what some people are reporting, as high as 80-90c!

[scorpion]

soulburner thanks,the voltage had me,mch,would be the same as vmch ,then witch one is vfsb.

[Soulburner]

I haven't seen a vfsb?

I have run up to 460 without needing to touch the mch, ich, etc. CPU and DDR volts have been the only things needing adjustment so far.

Are those settings in your sig current?

[Jodiuh]

I got really lucky w/ this board. The sinks are all flat and PWM temps hit pretty much what the cpu does, so loaded w/ orthos blend will get me 50C w/ stock volts @ 26C ambient.

Normally, I get the board w/ the heatpipe tore off in a fit of rage.

[Soulburner]

Mine looked the same as Ace-a-Rue's board. The pad on the PWM's, when taken off had less than half of the chips leaving an indent on it, meaning over one half of the chips were touching nothing but air.

My board also got a little curvy after the mod but it wasn't extreme and it functions normally.

i did a PWM mod to my QuadGT board just for kicks and i screwed the pooch by not getting the heatsink to sit level on all five digital PWM's...normal overclock was ok until i started to P95...it was over in a matter of minutes...poof went the smoke into the air on the open bench.

now i have a board to improve on my soldering skills.

[scorpion]

no,425x8, vcore 1.45 vdimm 2.050 ,thats my old sig

[Soulburner]

How much vdimm is too much?

I'm running D9GMH based memory, Crucial Ballistix PC6400. Currently at 400x9 with a 1.25 (4:5) divider for a nice even 500mhz (DDR2-1000) at 5-5-5-15-30-2T. I am just creeping up over 2.2v trying to gain some RAM stability through a 30 min OCCT RAM test. Have not run any memtest yet though so I don't know what kind of errors to expect.

I have a fan blowing on them, but how much is too much?

[DualCore]

buy the DFI BloodIron, the same chipsets 'n more baratus !!!

[Jodiuh]

The 2 G.Skill HZ I'm running have an Antec Spot on low. At 2.1, they're warmish hot wo/ the fan, barely warm w/. If I jack it up to 2.3, they get a little toasty even w/ the fan. FWIW, it's about on par w/ a good 80mm spinning around 1700RPM on low...spot fan that is.

[largon]

DFI Intel boards suck.
WTH is "baratus"?

[strange|ife]

Several are running HZ without a problem, one of the Mods at abit forums is running 4 x 1GB in a IP35 Pro without issue.

iam running HZ without issue aswell.

of course iamjust running them stock sync with the bus. I need this set up to last at lest a year..money is tight

[luihed]

ill takte the vrms away so they don get the cold. its normal that the vcore begins to jump because the resisetence becomes lower. wou was that person using that mini pot, arent you?

Yup, thats me ... I was going to use another piece to make it longer but Its working good the way it is.....

As for the vcore, its jumping a whole .1v like itll be at 1.75v then 1.86v all of the sudden without doing anything... I dont think thats normakl cos when I had it insulated well it was very steady at whatever voltage i set it at.... There wont be any more voltmodding for me cos Im using DFI LP now... First run and Im clocking higher already ... Only had a couple litres though....

[Fixxxer]

I guess he means "cheap".
