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

[Ace-a-Rue]

Lol, you forgot to tell him how tho...

no, no!...he had me confused so i needed clarification....if you understood, why didn't you answer...LOL

[Ace-a-Rue]

@Ace

Yea, I figured you meant uninstall and did that too. That crapped XP. Some lsass.exe error....so reinstalling again fresh...

LOL, either one is good. I don't see any option to reply specifically to a message. I used the "Quote" option but I don't see the nice grayed-out boxes in the reply.

the grey out happens when you click on the "submit reply" button...like this

...and poof!

I like being quoted!!

Me too!!

how good is the abit ip35 pro? does it run hot? and should i buy one or wait on x38?

[Knight]

Has anyone tried to set up the Abit uGuru "Mode Select" feature? Does it work? Can you help me?

My over-clock is 3.6GHz right now, but the ideal vCore is ~1.5. (load is like 1.42) I just don't want the CPU to be at 1.5 while at ideal, so I want a way to revert to somewhat stock settings while at no load. Is the mode option even for this type of stuff?

It would be cool if it worked like that.

[tpdinh]

...and poof!

Let's see if this works...

Thanks again for the advice Ace and Jodiuh...did a clean install and that seemed to fix the problem. Not sure what went wrong the first time though

i had to reinstall vista 32 ultimate because downloads were being blocked..it said to check with the administrator and that was ME!

[Jodiuh]

Good luck mate. Hate to see a fellow XS separated from his board.

The following is a guide to have full administrator control
without having to approve the popups on vista 32bit/64bit.
THIS WORKS BEST WITH A NEW INSTALL.

You just installed vista and you have the administrator
account (or so you think). But what is actually going on is
you have administrator powers, but you have to enable them
every time you open up an application which is retarded..

Follow these steps to have full administrator powers without
a window popping up every time you want to open or install a
program. This will be more like XP-SP2 style, but you will be
on the ACTUAL administrator account.

Again, I recommend that you do this with a new install.
Problems can occur when doing this with an install that has
lasted a while.

After you install vista, go through the steps of setting up
your account. Windows then will do a performance test. When
you finally reach the desktop, click the vista start button.
Right click "Computer" and click "Manage". On the left window
under "System Tools" double click "Local Users and Groups".
Two different files showed be shown in the middle windows
"Users" and "Groups". Double click the "Users" file. The
middle window should now show you 3 users; "Administrator",
"You Account", "Guest". Right click "Administrator" and click
"Properties". A new window should pop up. Under the "General"
tab, deselect "Account is disabled". Click "OK". Log off.

Log into the Administrator account. Go back to "Manage" in
the administrator account. Back to the "Users" under "Local
Users and Groups". Now delete your account that you created,
not the administrator account (it will not let you - duh!).

To do this simply right click the account and choose
"delete". Now to make the Administrator account yours. Right
click the administrator account, and choose "Properties".
Under the "General" tab, type in your name and delete the
description. Click "OK".

*Note - Your documents from your old account will still
exist. Your new documents folder will be the Administrator's
documents folder unless you want to change it to the
documents folder with your name.

OPTIONAL - To change your documents folder, click on the
vista start button. Right click "Documents" and choose
"Properties". Under the location tab, change the documents
folder to a folder of your choice by clicking the "move"
button.

I hope this helps the people who are annoyed with vista's
administrator style.

god damn the vdroop on my board is horrible. i have to set 1.5V in BIOS just to get 1.43-1.40V in windows. nevertheless, i'm priming my Q6600 away @ 3.6 GHz, and i'm going to let it sit a few more hours.

glad i did the heatsink mod on this mobo, as my PWM temps hit max ~80C under the utmost CPU load in prime. if i run blend test a few hours they hit the max 65-70C. at idle they are about 40C or a little lower.

the vdroop is still bugging me though, are people experiencing similar results?

it's kind of a 2 stage thing:
1st you won't actually get at the CPU what you set in BIOS even at idle but probably ~0.2V less. Still, knowing that it's easy to compensate for.
2nd then you'll get your idle>load droop which is probably ~0.7/0.8V with a quad. There is a vmod to cure it though if you're good with a soldering iron.

you can either do the vmod, which you can find info on in several areas on the site after some digging. Or since your 400fsb, just turn on c1E, leave EIST off it causes some issues.C1ewill jump your vcore up and down on load levels. it takes some strain off. My vcore is same 1.5 bios, droop about 1.44 under load. this new board i received has better droop then my first

the droop mod is the best, but iam getting rid of this sucker soon so dont matter really

for max fsb benching for fun though u must turn off c1e

[strange|ife]

what through WU? or downloads in general?

[saapas]

i'm going to get rid of this mobo soon too, so i won't even bother doing the droop mod

[louie101086]

droop is bad like that on my evga 680i until i pencil modded

The vmod is not for me. My parents will not allow for that type of xtremeness.

Thanks,

Just run the default multi and enable both EIST and C1E.

don't believe that was my problem...i went into the administrator account and then into the secondary account...neither one would let me download updates...something happened when i created the 2nd account...i probably should have deleted the 2nd account to see if that opened up downloads again...i will try another install to see if i can duplicate the problem again.

once i did the reinstall, everything was fine for the administrator account.

[Ace-a-Rue]

what through WU? or downloads in general?

yes, WU.

[Knight]

Just run the default multi and enable both EIST and C1E.

I will try EIST again, but the first time resulted in freeze at boot. That was with an 8 multi.

Thanks, will do.

[Alik4041]

Yeah, I've noticed windows doesn't boot if you turn on EIST and C1E with anything but the max multiplier.

[Knight]

Even with the max multiplier I get a lock up when the PC is at desktop. Running 9x400 with 1.52 set in BIOS. (load stable at 1.42)

Well your overclock is affecting that. I'm talking about having the CPU @ stock speeds but a different multiplier ex.) 8x300 =2.4 but unstable with C1E & EIST

[Master of None]

If you run EIST and manually drop the multiplier strange things can happen.

I run both EIST and C1E enabled on both my IP35 Pro and AW9D Max. Both Dual Core processors are heavily overclocked and will pass a round of Orthos. Both overclocks were established and tested with EIST and C1E enabled.

I know others run both enabled with overclocked Quads, if you get freezes at the desktop my guess is you aren’t running enough Vcore.

Oh how I hate the squealing sound my mobo makes when I run Prime95 blend test, luckily it only hits in during 8-12K(?) FFTs and then fades away, and even then it's not squealing non-stop but varies a lot. Strangely it doesn't occur during the small or large FFTs tests. Or at least I hope it's my mobo as I'm going to get rid of it anyway...
