Abit IP-35-E

[furballi]

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

Luck of the draw with CPU. Most of these chips will max out around 425MHz FSB. Don't be greedy.

Download Coretemp 0.95.4 to check CPU temp under Orthos large mode. Add 15C if your temp is too low. You should see at least 50C under Orthos.

the board is absolutely incredible for its value... I can boot to windows at 500+fsb, but can prime stable at no more than 492Mhz. Gives me a nice 50% overclock on my E6750 at 1.57Vcore on Air!!! temps never exceed 65C after hours of orthos. Happy camper here.

I guess bios 14 is the culprit for such juicy OC.

[furballi]

I've achieved the same level of overclock with 12 BIOS. This one is a hair faster than 14 under SP. Also note that 14 can cause your FSB to revert to 200MHz after the first cold boot. Shut down and restart the PC will restore the FSB setting in BIOS. Guess the double post patch isn't 100% reliable, yet.

The board for its price have been absolutly the best buy I ever made in several years.
Stable, fast and hasslefree.

my IP35-E can do 415mhz (unstable) with GTLREF 63% ...

what the difference between GTLREF 63 and 67 %

how the GTLREF improve the OC ?

I've been told that I should actually keep my GTLREF on default since im using Core 2 Duo... Only Quad Core chips should increase that setting. I decrease mine back to default.

[furballi]

Feel free to experiment. if 65 or 67% yields stability at higher speed, then there is no downside.

is there a difference in clocking abilities btw the E version and the pro version?

[furballi]

Perhaps 10MHz lower with -E. I've seen posts with 500MHz. There was another who could hit 525MHz at ridiculous Vcore. Very few chips can crack the 500MHz FSB barrier. Most E6xx0 chips will top out around 490 to 500MHz.

does SCYNTHE INFINITY fit on this mobo?

Yup.

LOL, the first post of this thread I did 500MHz. Post #6 I did 510.

any experience using quadcore with the ip35-e?

If any difference in regard to the ip35-pro

No issue with Q6600. A few were able to hit +3.8GHz. Heat was the major source of bottleneck on air. You'll need a good downdraft CPU cooler like the Big Typhoon modded with a medium speed 120mm fan or add active cooling to the PWM heat sink to keep MOSFET temp under 70C. The additional air flow will also benefit the NB cooler.

Not much difference I presume,look over here a 4 GHz hit(on air).

My IP35-E died--weird issues. Check the uAbit forum (pg3) for more info. Check sig for my specs.

I'm not sure but my IP35 PRO is just gay

Did anyone tried just unplug hdd from old system and plug it into new system without reinstalling everything?

I've tried this operation from 945P to Q965,than from Q965 to P35.
Not a problem,some XP errors until new chipset drivers were installed (and the former removed).

[TEDY]

so basically i might do this way:

safe mode, remove chipset and everything related to old mobo and proc....remove , plug into new system....and boot normally...install new chipset?

i'm asking for ASUS M2N SLI DLX to ABIT IP35-E :P

major you did same intel that way it worked, i'm not optimistic :P

[WSX]

this worked for me, it's much safer when changing mobos especially if your going from an AMD to Intel chipset ...

thanks for link WSX.

I havent been able to find any information yet, but what are the corresponding devices to temperature readings?

Ive got System, AUX and Temp1. Now System never gets above 38*C but AUX is the one that gets the hotest. Im assuming that the AUX is measuring the temperatures for the PWM chips but im not 100% sure.

I remounted both the northbridge and PWM coolers with arctic creamique and bolts and nuts instead of the lousy push pins. Seems to make a little difference. Atm highest temperature of AUX is 69*C with a TT BT and a e6300 @ 3.4ghz (485fsb), Temp1 never gets above 53*C.

The thing that gets me is that before temp1 used to be higher than AUX after the mounting with the bolts AUX is higher than Temp1.
