Abit IP-35-E

[Blacklash]

new beta 14 bios, this is 14-05 not the 14-04 which was posted before, just found this at the abit forums

The click herel

Any idea what the difference between 14-04 and 05 is? I am using 04 now.

danmody how is freezer 64pro compared to stock?

danmody how is freezer 64pro compared to stock?

damn near any aftermarket cooler is better then stock.

[danmoody]

well its worth it all the way i dont get above 48c and with the stock it would get to 60c or shut down **the nb will kinda get in the way sand dremel it down or make the cooler suck air from the top


** i have the auto shut down set a 60c

What is GTLREF? I have been reading around but haven't seen this acronym before.

Also, I second the question about availability...Newegg had it dirty cheap, but every place I've found it now (using the TH price grabber) wants a lot more for it - almost enough to make me go with the P5K-E instead, but I'd rather save the money and get this board.

The abit board is a nice one.
I made 4ghz with my e6750 for some benches.
Needed 1.67 to get there tho.
13725p with 3dmark06 with a 8800GT single card with Vista is pretty nice.
Made sub 13sek on 1m super pi and sub 13min on 32mb.

8x500fsb so pleased with the board.
However, the winter is here -15c so using the door a tad open the temps was let say, decent

3800mhz 24/7 seems like a nice all around middlepoint.

Where can I find the newest (beta)-BIOS? Can it fix this F''''n' double boot? Arg.

1.54V @ 3870MHz Prime stable.
1.6075V @ 4104MHz SP1M (bios) with +25C air. (Tuniq Tower)

I'm quite happy about this cheap MoBo.

[Andrewv]

i can not pass the 412mhz fsb.
e2160 @ 1.585v max 412mhz x 9
and 450mhz x 8 doesn't boot

maybe need more voltage for the south/north bridge ?

E21x0 and E4xx0 are limited to about 425MHz FSB.

New overclocker,guys,I say the best you can have till now: beta 14_08 (26 Nov).
It reached 365 FSB,others only 350 on my system.
This mobo rocks with 14_08 !

where you got this ?

pushed hthe voltage to 1.56 and got to 3.4 but too temps are way to high waiting on watercooling before i run it @3.4 all the time

[furballi]

where you got this ?

By testing seven E4300 and two E2140 CPUs. They all run out of gas just north of 420MHz FSB.

[Andrewv]

i saw 2 e2160 @ 430mhz :\

430 its a high level - sux

yea but for around $80 430fsb x9 is still a good value im at 3.4 hopefully 3.6 with w/c and somevoltage. For the money you cant beat this little amd eater

[Andrewv]

the new bios versions will be able to put vcore under 1.35v ?

[Heidfirst]

the low level for the CPU Vcore setting will be set according to your CPU's VID.
I guess that yours is 1.35V

[Andrewv]

in GB mobos you can set vcore under the VID

[danmoody]

i had mine at 1.31 before

I like this board a lot too. Need to get off my ass and rma it so I can use it again. Meanwhile been stuck with my old dfi p965

I just got one of these boards, have a few questions for you guys.

First off when ever i restart it hangs when searching for IDE or SATA drives (only thing in is a IDE DVD) i run OS from pci scsi. i updated bios to 14 and it still does it. also it has a really weird restart after bios or sometimes turn on, where it turns on then off and when its off it takes nearly 5 sec (the time for the cpu fan to spin down completely and then it turns back on again) is that normal for such a long time to restart?

Im running a e2140 chip in it and its not clocking past 415mhz fsb regardless of multi (change from 8 to 6)

What settings do you guys run to get higher fsb's? what CPU vtt ? what northbridge voltage? what southbridge voltage? I have disabled the slow down things under cpu options. Ive seen people get fantastic fsb speeds with this motherboard just curios on the settings that they use.

thanks

e2140 has low fsb wall.
due to 800mhz buss.
415fsb seems pretty good to me.
More than that I guess will be hard to do without excessive freezecooling.

double boot is a Intel chipset issue, some bios can fix it if you dont remove the powercabel.
(its a intel thingy)
Just live with it.

Go into BIOS and set the boot HDD as 1st boot device. Disable booting all other devices. Connecting USB card reader, USB HDD, or other USB devices during POST can cause slow/no POST.

E21x0 and E4xx0 CPUs are limited to about 425MHz FSB. Need to step up to E6xx0 to approach 500MHz FSB.

[chatmaster]

Thanks for the responses so far guys they have been a great help.

My other questions are that its very cold the cpu, never gets about 38*C its under a TT big typhoon and a/c in the room. could it be it needs more volts? If i put more volts at this low temperature cpu will it do less damage? I have tried @ 1.525v and i can get it at 3.3ghz thats it. 415mhz fsb is the max. Ive seen some people get alot more with their e2xxx was that with sub zero cooling?

What settings do you guys use to get high fsb's? cause if its my chip thats holding me back no need to up the volts on northbridge.
atm i went up 2 voltage increases on northbridge, 1 increase on southbridge and 1 increase on that CPU VTT which i dont understand what it does though? what is CPU VTT?

Can someone who is getting 450+ mhz tell me what settings they are running on their northbridge and southbridge voltages please.

Thanks
