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

[steve30x]

you miss-understood...i wanted you to use both PSU's...the 550W to run the fans and drives with the drives not attached to the mobo...then, have your 650W power the mobo, cpu and VC.

i guess it doesn't matter any longer since you pulled the board...good luck with the replacement or whatever board you get.

It wasnt worth it anyway ACE. I was trying to get the Ethernet working for 2 days with no success. I didnt want to be trying to fix the motherboard for days on end with no success. I thank you for trying to help though.

One thing I noticed is that even though the quad core was faster in some applications etc this Dual core seems to load things a whole lot faster than the quad core. Also I can OC my ram with this AMD motherboard but I couldnt OC my ram with the Abit IP35 and my internet speeds are a lot faster with this motherboard too. Could I have had a faulty motherboard from the beginning? This is just my view on things.
