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

[stevem99]

Hi... just joined the forum yesterday as my IP35 Pro is on its
way. A couple of questions.

1. Do I need to install the JMicron SATA driver? I am NOT
going to use RAID.

2. Do I need to power the PCI Express Auxillary 12v connector for my PCIexpress graphics card? The card says nothing about needing aux power, or do all PCIexpress cards need aux power? Thanks for any help.

no, if you are not doing raid.

refer to page 1-6 in your manual...i tried it and i found no difference for my setup in stability...it might make a difference if you have a large power draw card and it is NOT augmented with a additional molex plug on the card itself.
