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

[steve30x]

How long does an rma usualy take? I am still waiting to get confirmation from Komplett that they tested the IP35 Pro I sent back to them 3 weeks ago. They confirmed that they recieved the motherboard 9 days after I posted it to them but I havent heard back from them with almost 2 weeks now.

Hi Guy’s

Can someone help me out with a small overclock, I’m not looking to push my system to the max just want to get the FSB up some and the CPU to around 3000Mhz or 3.2.

I’ve been looking through a load of the IP35 forums and everyone is going into so much detail I can’t seem to get the basic information for a small overclock.
My last system I had was an ASUS P5B and I struggled to get that to run at stock and was hoping I would have more luck with the Abit BIOS.

Anyway any information would be really appreciated indeed, by system spec is as follows;
Abit IP35 (not PRO)
Q6600 Energy Efficient SLACR 95W Edition
OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-8000C5 1000MHz ReaperX
EVGA GeForce 8800 GTS
Western Digital Raptor

Even if you could point me in the right direction to some links that would really help.

Thanks

Lee

Ok Guy's

Looking for something like this if possible for the Q6600

for 3.2ghz try 1.4v for vcore

1.3-1.4v for mch

1.55v for ICHIO 1.5

1.9-2.0v for vdimm

[mezryn]

Any word from Bingo13 as of yet regarding the latest beta bios?

hi All

with my rig in my sig , is it safe to run 24/7 at 3.6 ?

my coretemp is 21~23 idle 49~51 max load - orthos stable 2 hours and my vcore is set to 1.49 vdimm 2.125 ?

i'm stable yes , but , am i pushing it too much ? or it is just safe to run 24/7 this way ?

thanks in advance

Regards

voltages seem more than fine, so if the temperature of the hottest core doesn't exceed 72°C you're free to crunch

If you are in the UK then abit RMA direct usually quote 9-10 working days but often do it well inside that.
As for RMA with Komplett ...

1.55v for ICHIO 1.5

1.9-2.0v for vdimm

just in case, when y'all share those numbers listed, those are for OC'ing right?
I'm not trying to OC, just want to be updated and stable...still waiting for Ortho's Benchmark(???) to finish its 24hr cycle.
I have to restart, coz I forgot to turn off my MS Auto-Update.

I'm still trying to figure out how to run Memtest and Prime-something

Advance thanks from this n00b

Hey guys, i have a question. i'm putting together a new system in a few days, but my cpu fan wont' arrive until next week probably. i'm getting a wolfdale e8400 cpu with the abit ip35 pro. here's the question: would it be risky to use the Thermalright ultra 120 extreme heatsink without any cpu fan for a few days? i read in one review that this particular heatsink provides better cooling than the stock hsf's that come with intel processors.

I think you'll be fine. I wouldn't push it until you get a fan though. For general use at stock the TRUE will do just fine.

[TuTu]

i hope so. anyone else think i'll be ok doing that? i read that the temp readings might not be accurate cuz of buggy bios so I might not know how hot it's running. i'll be running it at stock though.

he told me today that abit is still tweaking the code for the wolfdale.

if you are using windows XP, you can monitor your temps with "coretemp" program...

GripS is probably right about the TRUE heatsink handling the cpu heat at stock settings without a fan....BUT...why can't you even put a small fan blowing on the heatsink or install a small fan close to the heatsink which is blowing on the heatsink from a distance?

[Tsuchiro]

hmm what are the fsb holes on this board? or are there any?

None that I have found.

[Tsuchiro]

and what exactly does cpu vtt, cpu gtlred1&3 and 0&2 do?

and what exactly does cpu vtt, cpu gtlred1&3 and 0&2 do?

If I had a penny...
I've been trying to figure this out for a while now, and I've given up, from what I've heard that it makes very little difference if any, and it's only for squeezing that last drop of OC out of a processor, for most mediocre OCs it won't make much of a difference at all.
But what do I know, I am sure Ace-a-Rue has a much better explanation
(SOMEONE PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG)

Thanks guy's

I'll have a look into this today and see if it makes more sence!

Hi Ace-a-Rue / yannis18

How does this look, I take it I now set up the DRAM timing in the advanced Chipset menu to the recommended manufacture CL, tRCD,tRP and so on?




This is the DRAM Timing set by SPD at present!

[bert555]

how does increasing voltages other than cpu + mem (mch, cpu vtt etc) affect the lifespan of the board/chip/memory ?
I dont know what any of them are exactly so am just increasing them randomly, small steps, hoping its all ok
theres only so many options to adjust them by so is it safe to have them to whatever it allows you to adjust them to ?
any advice people ?

cpu + mem is e8400 and gskill pc28000

[bert555]

any help people, im anxious to get this working

got in to windows at 1.355v 4ghz but orthos crashed after 5 secs

i think it needs more volts for the cpu as i tried more and stress test lasted a little longer

but i dont wanna mess with these other volts until i have some form of idea what they're for, and safe limits for them

Vdimm is to high.

ICHIO is to high

[leo5111]

does the ip-35 pro like 4 gigs overclocked??? im at 3.2 so far with a e6750 & 2 gigs ram 2x1 gig sticks. i want to add 2 gigs more also board is on stock bios so far because that bios flashing thing is tricky looking to me ...

[dstedman]

I've got my sig working fine. Looser timings, but it shouldn't be a problem...
