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

[joshuaboston]

Is there any place on this forum (because I apparently missed it if there was) where someone has posted there settings using a Q6600 and Crucial Ballistix 4-4-4-12 memory? I want to oc to only 2.8. Don't want very much right now.
Also, where is the best place to find the best way to overclock. I need some info pleaassseee

I have 4x1GB of ballitix Tracer and I have them set at a 1:1.2 at 5-4-4-11, but I am overclocking my CPU to 3.6Ghz. Best way to find out how to overclock is to google a overclocking guide or go back 20 pages and start reading.

Good LUCK.

this board doesn't seem to like the cl4 thing with 4 gigs of memory and aquad ... the highest I have had my tracers at 4-4-4-12 is 1030 on the 1:1.25 divider. I can't seem to get any higher. I can go as far as 1150 with 5-4-4 with much better performance, so I gave up on the cl4 dreams I had.

on the topic of the dfi:

you cant, in all seriousness, compare them can you? the bios for the abit is no doubt 10, if not 20 times more mature considering the time that the p35 has been released to the time the x38 and DFI have been.

i think the DFI bios on the X38 and P35 is far more complicated than it has to be...it would be fine if you are computer science major BUT for most of us normal users, it is quite the thing to figure it out...it makes the Pro bios look like child's play!

AND..for a mature Pro bios compared to DFI's first bios is about the same place in getting a good overclock...the Pro bios on the early release allowed me to easily get to 3.8 ghz while i had to work hard at getting the DFI bios to cooperate...probably due to the complication and numerous settings there to manipulate in DFI's bios.

can I use the 16.b04 bios on my ip35-e?

[phu]

I managed to get a floppy drive and trying the beta bios now.

[maxwedge]

can I use the 16.b04 bios on my ip35-e?

Nope, Pro only.

[phu]

Does anyone have issues with bios 16 beta 4?

1. The cpu reading in uGuru is way off. Just starting up the computer, it shows 52C.

2. I specifically set the voltage for RAM as 2.175V in the bios but uGuru shows 2.2V.

[phu]

Also I tried same settings I had under bios 14 on this new bios and it failed in prime95 in 3 minutes.

[pross]

agreed, coretem shows the cores at about 38 to 40 yet everest reports cputemp at 55?!?!

[silverphoenix]

Ok Got a different kind of question. I've got 4 identical 320GB drives in the lower hdd area. I'm taking my front rad out so I'm moving the two RAIDed drives to the middle hdd bay, well my question is is there a way to tell which drives are RAIDED? I have the 1st two in the RAID menu selected.

-edit

Also people who have attached fans to their PWMs can you post pictures?

Ignore the temperature of uGuru it is known to be off just go with what coretemp tells you.

Hey there!
I have Q6600 B3 version. Does anyone have here B3 that is OC to 3,8-3,9Ghz with aircooling? I have TRUE 120 cooler myself, and have stable 3,6GHz OC. But can't get it stable past 3,8 Ghz. Can someone share their bios voltage configuration? I'll post mine later, when i get home. Thanx, and greets from Estonia.

Got my system running for about a week now. On and off just playing games and running 3DMark etc

Had a go at overclocking my Q6600 (G0) with the stock intel cooler (should setup my WC this weekend) pushed it to 2.9GHz with 30Min OCCT stable Highest Coretemp reading was 59DegC under load. I was moving up in 10MHz increments so it took a while to get to 2.9GHz I'm just watching the temps trying to stay under 65 with the CPU cooler.

Has anyone had problems with uguru causing crashes in Vista64? I'm pretty sure I have the latest version but any comments? When I close uguru I dont get any freezes!?!

Cheers,
emu

don't be concerned about P95 or OCCT....just run wPrime...it is the main tool to see if you are stable for everyday apps...unless your are a folding type person or play heavy cpu demanding games, don't frustrate yourself, accept wPrime.

uguru has issues with vista 64 bit

[silverphoenix]

so any1 know how to determine which HDD's are physically part of the RAID?

[emuexport]

uguru has issues with vista 64 bit

Thanks Ace. I knew this would be the place to confirm my suspicions!

So you cant set voltages etc with uguru in Vista64bit? I wqondered why that didnt seem to work. I might try my other boot with XP havent tried it for a week! it defaults to Vista! 0

Whats the max temp you would go with the stock cooler? is 60DegC pushing it? I read somewhere that they are specced to about 65DegC but i'm interested in an experienced answer.

@silverphoenix: Sorry mate cant help besides disconnecting the drives to work out which is which! and I'm not sure that is the best way!

[Ace-a-Rue]

i tried vista 64 but it was RC2 and there were issues..i read a few complaining about Uguru in vista 64...my recommendation is to set it to run under XP compatibility...don't ask how to, i just don't remember!

[Ace-a-Rue]

i would suggest to unhook one drive at a time and then post-boot to see if you see a failure in the Raid Array...that is about the only way i could figure it out if you have more than 2 hard drives hooked up to the intel chipset.

UGuru 3.107 works fine for me with vista 64...i can set voltages/fsb no problem. What happens when you try it?

the older version of uguru 3.104 worked in vista 64, but would give BSOD's and was a bit buggy, I havent left it on enough lately too know if the newer version does or not. Iam sure its fixed, so upgrade if your on 104

[emuexport]

Firstly if I leave it running while stress testing I get a fatal freeze! I'm sure I have the latest version but will check. Maybe I'll change the exe to run in XP compatability mode.

Where do you change the voltages? do you go into the settings etc? Not sure I am in the right spot to start with really!

I'll try it out when I get home and let u know.

[strange|ife]

not sure how many HDD's are connected in your system in a RAID, but after post, in the intel screen it will show the disk, and will show if its a member or not. I mark all my drives with a marker on top to help out in things like this, or if Iam swapping out drives so i know whats on them.

check the screen after post, or just unplug them also, thats the sure way to know.
