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

[joshuaboston]

Thanks for your concern. I am not worried or insulted. But I am trying to refrain my self from making to many posts. I just want my posts to have substance, not like this one

Just to let you know I also plan to have a solo drive to back up my files. I use to use the two IDE as those drives right now. I am acutally going to buy one more drive to act as a backup. Whats CRAZY is I have over a Terabyte of space, have my computer for two weeks and I am starting to get nervous about not having enough harddrive space, hate deleting good movies. Hopefully this will be my LAST computer purchase besides the HR-03 Thermaltake GPU heatsink for my 8800GT, for a very long time. Just waiting for a good deal on harddrive, probably I will get a 400GIG.

Guys I have a strange problem with my cpu fan and IP35 Pro that I never had such a problem in 20 years of working with pc's !

sometime when I reset my system within windows, the fan will not began to spin, and I must power down and power up my whole system to make cpu fan to spin.

anyone with similar problem out there? or I have a bad board?!


I really dont think the cpu fan have a problem itself.

when you say reset your system from windows, are you talking about coming out of hibernation?

suggest you switch the cpu fan to either AUX 1 or 2 header.

Definitely, if that doesn't work you can try the sysfan header as well. Sean, are you using the stock intel heatsink and fan? Joshua, glad to see your overclock is working out for you! On the RAID screen during boot up is it saying "error occurred" on one of your drives in the array? Mine did that once when vista crashed due to an unstable OC, yet all of my data was still fine. I did a WD advanced diagnostics test and verified the volume data in the intel matrix storage console in windows and everything came back ok. To get rid of the error message, all i did was right click the port with the drive that had the error and selected "mark as normal" in the maxtrix storage console. Fixed my error during bootup and the status is ok now. Hopefully thats the error you are talking about or i just typed all of that for no reason lol....

Thanks for reply friends,

It will occur randomly when I reset my windows (not resuming from s3 or hybernate)

and yes I am using a stock intel HSF and it works great for me as follow :
intel 6320 @ FSB 400 = 2800Mhz , 1.38v (guru reads 1.36 because of vdroop!) and it will max out @ 55c

since my HSF have a 4pin cpnnector, can I put it in a 3pin header?

Thanks again.

Yes, but you will lose pwm speed control i believe....someone correct me if im wrong

YES THAT HAPPENED TO ME THANKS!!! NOW I 100% RECOMMEND THIS MOBO . My raid is two 320gig maxtors (rebandaged seagates).

This forum ROCKS!! Will try it maybe this weekend... just so busy.

Hey I am looking for either a 400 or 500 gb harddrive to act a my storage area. Man, game files are BIG . Any recommendations? Fry's has a 500GB Western Digital for $100.00 that is kind of the best price I see.

Haha same thing happend to me with 320GB maxtors in RAID, I just got 4x of em from Fry's and 2 of them are in RAID, once during oc session one of the drives showed up as error occurred, luckily I had an acronis image backup of a fresh vista install on one of the non raided drives.

The new BIOS really helps with vdroop from idle to load, I mean my vcore is set to 1.4785 but shows 1.4-1.41 but that is where it stays idle or load. Currently 8x450 stable gonna push harder as soon as I see how hard I can push memory, see if memory can do 1080 and stay stable.

I sometimes have the same problem, even when doing a cold boot. Right now I'm just rebooting and it usually is ok the next time. I'm using a Sythe 4-pin fan on a downdraft CPU cooler - with the fan attached to the 4pin CPU fan header, since I like the RPM feature with this header.

Hopefully a later bios might fix it. Using Bios ID:14 right now.
I've hesitated on the beta bios 16 because the file size is about half the size of the non-beta bios versions. Is this a concern?

the beta file is compressed so it will be smaller in size until it's taken out of the zip or rar file...if you are comparing the file size to abit's official bios releases, then yes, their will be a difference in file size...abit's official bios release includes 5 files where as the beta only has the bios file.
