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

[Pntgrd]

if you are using Uguru version 3.104, then you have a defective board or possibly the bios is all screwed up since it should not be doing that, the shutdown part, when you set the max ICHIO 1.5 and MCH.

did you say you did the heatpipe mod?

Yes I have done the mod. I finally have the settings that I posted will keep it Prime stable at 3.6 either 8x450 or 9x400. I cannot get it any higher. If I try any higher on vcore or mch I get an instant shutdown when I try to start Prime. I got the same symptoms with my OCZ psu so I think power can be ruled out. The only 2 things I can think of are either I have gotten the heatpipes too tight somewhere or a bad board, like you say. I would not think it was a memory issue as I was using Small FFT's. I do know my Crucial 1066 Tracers will not get into Windows at 1:1.25 @ 450. Must not like the Strap at that speed, which kind of surprised me. I had gotten 2 more sticks and through them in yesterday. I think when I redo things when my fans come in I will go to the 2 newer ones just to make sure. If it IS a bad board, how can I go about checking exactly what is wrong so I can contact Abit?
As far as a bios issue, I have reflashed it and it looks like all goes well. Did the battery removal, power button, the whole nine yards. I am tempted to try the 10 bios of maybe even beta 12. I also don't want to just buy another board, not knowing what the problem really is. But something is screwey somewhere.
