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

[Voodoo Rufus]

I recently put together a new machine with this mainboard. I like it running stock, but am having difficulties with the bios.

Specs:

IP35 Pro
Intel Celeron 420 (1.6GHz Conroe-L, single core)
2x1GB Crucial Tracer 8500
xp64 OS

Coretemp on Orthos is 55C on a U120X, 65-70 with stock cooler.

Last night I managed to get it to FSB 290 without locking up, at 1.28V, or 2.32GHz. The bios defaults the ram to a 1:2 ratio because the CPU's FSB is so low. I can change anything in the bios I want, except for the ram ratio. Running the CPU and memory at stock speed/timings, if I simply change the ratio from 1:2 to anything else, it causes my hard drives to go bonkers, and windows does a raid 1 verification on my matrix raid array. The bios is #14, Sept 07 I believe. I'm nowhere near the limts of the board, or ram. I only exceeded the ram's rated speed when I managed to get above 265FSB. I set the ram to the rated 2.2V for OCing purposes as well.

This is highly frustrating. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this oddity, and send me on my merry OCing way?
