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

[jagt]

For those running 4X1gb sticks:

After the reccomended settings from Ace this board seems stable now. I'm running 4X1gb crucial ballistix pc6400 at 5-5-5-12 with a 2.150 from bios and on page 131 I've just changed what Ace told me. PWR temp area doesnt exceed 60C on full load cause I have quite good airflow in the case.

A friend (Gomar) on the greek overclocking forum "thelab" did the vmod to reduce the vcore drop. 1.55 on bios gave 1.55 on full load with a quad. Before the mod he had a drop of 0.1 volts!!! (1.60 gave 1.49 on full load)

If anyone wants more details about this I can ask him to post pics

Hey, could you list these settings? My RMA'd RAM comes in tomorrow.

Also, I have an "unknown device" in the device manager I can't figure out what is. It says it's on the PCI bus, although it can't be on the physical PCI bus as I only have my soundcard and a wifi card in there. It pops up both in Vista and XP. What is it?

have you installed the INF Intel drivers after you installed your windows OS...most likely that is the SMbus controller.

Yeah I have, both in Vista and XP. I used the newest ones available at intel.com. Really wondering what it could be.

Hey guys,

I have the following setup which i have built for a customer at work...

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850
Abit IP35-PRO (Latest bios)
Chaintech Apogee GT PC8500 4x1gb (Link)
Antec Atlas (550w PSU) Link
Samsung 320GB SATAII
Samsung 20x SATA DVD-RW

OK, i have installed windows with 4gb and it was all fine...
i then reboot after i finished installing all the latest drivers etc and i the computer freezes after about ~2mins.

i then decide to run a memtest with the 4gb, and it errors like crazy after about 30mins..

I have

- upped the volts from 1.8-2.1v
- changed timings to 5-5-5-12
- ram is running below spec (ddr812)
- upped mch to 1.29v
- tested 2x1gb kits for hours (both kits test fine by themselves)


I have no idea wat to do, this is urgent and im all outta ideas

Urg...that sucks.
Have you tried to memtest each of the DIMMs individually? If not, I would - using the same DIMM slot each time.
If they all pass individually, next I'd start to populate the additional slots one-by-one until you find the where the errors are coming from.

Also, what version of Windows is installed on it?

I installed it a few days ago and I haven't checked since then. But I checked now, and lo and behold! The unknown device is gone. Haha, thanks though.

the device won't disappear until the next or 2nd re-start...that is my experience with that bugger.
