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

[steve30x]

I got version 1.1 of this motherboard and I am awaiting delivery of a Q6600 from Komplett.ie (it was shipped on friday , should arrive weds or thursday). I ordered both motherboard and CPu on monday evening but the CPU didnt come into stock until Friday. Ive checked the heatpipe on the motherboard and it is touching all chips / mosfets.

I also got some Zalman ZM-STG1. I know its not super TC but its better than what comes with the Heatsink Intel provides. This will be used with my XSPC X2O Pro WaterCooling Kit. So I am hoping that I will get a good OC. But I will have to wait until I get good ram because last Thursday my 2 sticks of 1gig Corsair Dominator died on me. I will be buying 3 gig of Crucial Ballistix 8500 instead. I had the two sticks of ram tested on a different motherboard each inserted seperately but the other computer souldnt boot up , so I bought a 2gig stick of Kingston Value ram to get me by until I get new ram.

Anyway I am after getting some info that I can use to get the q6600 up to 3.6ghz.

Vcore 1.48 ( Droops down to 1.4v underload)
Cpu VTT 1.27
MCH 1.44
GTL REF Both @ 69%
this 8x450......

And I got the following info from this thread which should also help.

I do run 1.65 on the ICHIO and 1.44 MCH -for ram to run properly++

all right, adjust your voltages to this:
MCH = 1.56 or 1.64
ICHIO = 1.70 or 1.80
Vdimm = 2.3 or 2.4
DDR2 REF = PLUS 2%

and memory timing to at least CAS 5...i would really try: 5-5-5-15 (or 18) and 42-48

Is there anything else I should know for OC'ing an Intel because I am new to intel. I always run my computers with AMD parts but AMD suck lately.
