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

Has anyone gotten their ram upto ddr1200 or close to it? I can get to about 1180 with 2.2v on the ddr and then it's like a wall and no voltages will get rid of errors in memtest. I'll keep at it but if anyone has done it speak up please.

[terrybogard]

Ok so I need to update the intel chipset drivers for sure, will do that. Need a optical mouse/keyboard when doing that *looks at pile of junk*.

1) Can anyone tell me what RAM settings I should be running at, I have the crucial RAM from newegg.com 2 x 1 Model# BL12864AA804 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146565

On the website it says to run it at 2.2v So I set it to that and it seems to run fine I guess, but maybe the issues I list below may be in conjunction with the RAM voltage. My timings are 5-5-5-15 2T and I hope the 15 and 5's are in the right place lol

2) CPU-Z is showing my core speed @ 1224 w/ a multi of x6 and a bus speed of 204. Now in bios it is set 9 x 204 = 1804. I have version 1.41 of CPU-Z
(My core voltage is @ 1.170 in CPU-Z but in bios @ 1.32 ???)

3) When running prime95, do I just take the .exe file and copy/paste in another directory and then run one test on CPU 0 and another on CPU 1?

4) Core Temp restarts my damn computer when I open it...

5) TAT gives me the error "Error Enumerating on Demand Clock Modulation Support." Terminating Tool

6) Can someone list anything other then the new intel chipset drivers or software I should be installing as well please!

I have to admit; it's been forever since I got into bios and overclocking so please bare with me. 5th Abit mobo in like 7 years so I know my way around the bios, it's just getting the settings right. Thanks for the help in advance

Update:
Issue#4 was corrected by downloading the correct version or just re-downloading period...
Issue#2 was corrected somewhat; read a very nice sticky on this chipset about the CIE1 or whatever it's called, having a idle multi & a what I set in bios. It's like having 2 different modes, which is nice, but then again not nice. Just gotta figure out where in the bios can I turn this off.
Issue#1 has been corrected by just changing the settings in the bios and sticking to what the website suggests
Issue#3 was fixed by just downloading the correct file/better of orthos and running that as my bench/overclock tester

Looks like you fixed most of your problems. However I would suggest lowering your DDR voltage to 2.0v. It will most likely still work just fine. I have 2 sets of them and they will both do 1000mhz at the 5-5-5-15-30-2T settings at only 2.0v.

Ok I'll make those changes in the bios, but I got a small annoying thing I need to change.

Issues:
1) Abit Uguru doesn't work, so I'm wondering If I should just uninstall it and then go ahead and reinstall it again.
2) Tat still gives me issues; so can someone point me to a link of a version that has worked and is updated please
3) C1E & EIST have got to go; it's killing my computer...Well it's causing freezes when I go from not needing power to BAM there you go. I want to disabled this stuff; but where in the bios can I find it *reading manual as he's typing*
4) Is it safe to do the Intel chipset update with still using USB, because I can't find any optical mouse/keyboard to use

update(s):
Issue#3 was fixed by just finding in the manual where to go and disabling that crap, thank the mobo gods.

DDR2-118x seems to be the limit on my board as well.
Tried all possible slot configurations, various DDR2 memory kits ( tested on various boards, reaching DDR2-1250+ ), various BIOSes, settings, etc.
Still, DDR2-118x wall.

Thanks for the reply. I've heard that there is a problem but was hoping someone had done though.

Heres where I've gotten to so far with a combination of fast cpu and ddr. I've gotten into the low 1180's for the ddr with the 7x and lower clock on the cpu.

[ncsa]

Probably comes down to CPU limits along with the interaction of the motherboard ...

Nice! What kind of volts on those sticks.

I'm getting 1188 now but only 5 5 5 12!

I'm wondering if I should try my settings @ 4-4-4-12...

i guess i should leave mine in the "bios" mode..sounds like a plan..thanks.

I can't find any optical in my place or nearby...think it be safe to update the chipset using usb?

let me do re-install of the Intl INF drivers using joebar's solution....my keyboard is a P/S2 but my mouse is an USB type...will report back in about 5-10 minutes.

Interesting, me too, with about 4 different sets of ballistix I got the same 1180 limit. Actually 1150 is my stable limit on any of the ballistix.

Ive had mine up to 1200, even with a 1T CR rate, didnt test for stabilty though,

I got 6hr of orthos blend last night at 1188 with 475fsb x 8 and then it threw an error! That was with the 1:1.25 ratio and I know the cpu wasn't at fault because it will do 480fsb just fine with the 1:1.20 ratio. Got 12 hr of blend with that. I just bumped my mch up to 1.41 and am trying again now.

This morning I tried so hard to get memtest86+ test 5 to be error free above 475fsb and couldn't do it. Had the doors wide open and 60f in the house with a 10" fan blowing in the case and no go. I bet chilling that NB is the key!

I've been able to run 600MHz 4-4-4-4 1T (see pic) with the IP35 Pro, but this ***tty mobo doesn't let me boot at 1280+. The same RAM does superpi 1M at 700MHz 5-5-5-15 with Blitz Formula, so it's a mobo problem.

Too bad, ABIT.

Mind sharing your voltages for that?

I figured out my problem! I've been trying to run the 8x multi with an E6600 for 3.8gh and ~ddr1200. I guess running a lower multi other than default puts a greater strain on the NB because I have no problem getting ddr1200 with the 9x. No errors!!

the MCH is inside the NB...so...you have to jam volts up both butts!

[Knight]

What memory over clocks can you guys get with 4 x 1gigs? I just want to know what others are running.

I had tried 4x1gb but found that one stick was defective. While it was in RMA, I purchased the 2x2gb G.Skill 5-5-5-15 DDR2-1000 for $189 from Newegg. Much better choice since any board will always like 2 sticks more than 4. I'd jump on the 2x2gb since the speeds and price are damn reasonable.

Yeah I know, but I was jamming it more than I wanted to without much success.
I think I tried up 1.56v for ddr1200 and the 8x multi and it still errored in memtest. 1.37v MCH and no errors for 9x multi and ddr1200.

I think I'm gonna push this at 9x for awhile and see what I can get.
