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

[The Viper]

Does anyone else have a problem overclocking their graphics on this board.
I have an Nvidia 8800gts 640mb (g80??) which, on another board, has been up to 650 core/945 mem. On this board I cant get it past 574 core/900 mem.
This is my 1st post so, hi everybody.

no problems at all with an 8800gtx and a 6600LE

[Budwise]

8800GT here OCed just fine.

[18 is # 1]

What is a reliable Vcore source. Everest & CPU-Z (1.26) is so far off from uGuru (1.36), that I do't know what to believe. Same for my clock speed. Some readouts say 3.6 others 3.78GHz. I don't want to fry my CPU.

Hi everyone, I have had an IP35 Pro for about a month now and it has a peculiar problem. Whenever I shut down the computer after about 3-4 seconds, it will turn back on. I have to flip the switch on the power supply to make sure it stays off. When I first flip the switch on to the power supply it is fine until I hit the power button. Then if I hold the pwr switch, it will "shutdown" but do the same.

I have a
OCZ Game X Stream 700w PSU
Corsair 4GB XMS2 DHX DDR2 PC2-6400 (2x2GB)
Nvidia 8800gt graphics card
Q6600 processor
Zalman CNPS9700 heatsink

I RMA'd the board with newegg to fix this issue. However, the same issue happened with the second board. But it had the same issue.

I did a search and found other people on the abit forums have the same problem . I have disabled in the wake features in the bios. I haven't overclocked it. The bios is 14. Tried two different pwr supplies and 2 sets of memory and it still has continued.

I'm at my wits end, any idea's?

have you looked at the board diagnostic LED to see if there is a code there as this happens?

try clearing CMOS with the battery out for about 5 minutes...when you put everything back to normal, make sure the switch on the back of the I/O panel is in the correct position and the jumper on the board is set correctly.

[Cpl Ledanek]

couple of changes:

1) switch thermal paste Artic Silver 5 Ceramique to Artic Cooling MX-2 @:
a) CPU
b) PWM/Mosfet
c) NB
d) SB

2) Xigmatek RS-1283 push-pin changed to Thermalright 775 Bolt-Thru kit

3) PWM/Mosfet now cooled with a Scythe Mini-KazeSY124010L 40mm fan
3500rpm, 4.11cm, 14dba, 12v/0.06A

4) WD 5000AAKS SATA now caged in CM 830 HD case cooled with stock 120mm Blue LED

Posting if someone could tell me if there are any improvements with posted updates...I tried to copy setting from previous as much as possible.
But having more eyes on it, is better than just a pair

As always advance thanks

Hello everybody, i have a questions for those who did the bold mod, the temperature of pwm in load is about 50, does it worth doing the bolt mod and replacing the thermal pad with arctic ceramic? I was wondering if replacing just the original plastic push pins with bolts would be enough ?

Took out the battery and that seems to have done it. Now it shuts down and stays off. Thanks Ace!

[dstedman]

50 under load is fine - don't do the mod. Mine was 78 under load before the mod, 71 after.

@ Ace-a-Rue,

Would you mind looking over my post and comment on my questions?

Whats the latest greatest word on a bios version for the IP35PRO and a E3110/8400....

Anyone using this setup have a tested version they prefer?

UPDATE: as some has pointed out, there is a heat discrepancy in my PWM...so:
update: here's without running Orthos:


with Orthos running:


so does this still say something with my BIOS...
... or is it the MX-2...
...OR bolt mod is not set in properly....
here's one side of the NB:

while the other side is not completely screwed in

...AHA! Am I getting somewhere?

Of course this would happen now that I screwed the mobo unto the Stacker's removable tray

WHen I checked my voltages with my multimeter uguru read vcore dead on. The vdimm was the one that wasnt read correctly or really too close at all.

ok, I tighten up all the bold mods:
start of Ortho Blend


3 minutes of Ortho Blend


36 minutes


BTW if I'm supposed to be using a different "bench mode???" in Ortho pls do tell me, coz again, I'm a n00b, I really don't know what I'm doing

26 minutes small FFTs:

advance thanks

Official Bios release today!

http://www.abit.com.tw/page/en/downl...ET_TYPE=LGA775

I just finished updating to the new Bios. My system is a bit flakey until I can get into the BIOS screens and change voltages & Memory timings away from their defaults, so my system froze (In the blue bios configuration screens) a couple of times while I was trying to change the timings, set fan speeds, etc.

Had to power off each time, use the clear bios settings switch, etc. and then try again. After that was accomplished, now working fine with the new bios, but I don't really notice anything different over Beta 16.10.

hmmmmmmmmmmm...wonder if they fixed my the multi (to go above default) on my QX9650?

clicked on the link and the post number is in the mid 2000....

[MADMAX22]

Umm why does the bios date say 3/18/08, did they jsut not get around to posting it until now and that was when it was actually compiled or whatever.

[Ace-a-Rue]

it is why i hardly frequent abit's forum...got tired of the long down times...they are just SLOW over there...maybe it is only one guy trying to do it all.

[AstroCreep]

hmmmmmmmmmmm...wonder if they fixed my the multi (to go above default) on my QX9650?

There's only one way to find out, my good man!

AFAIK from what i read on abit forums, they only release bios'es on Tuesday..

[Ace-a-Rue]

same as the previous beta...it doesn't do jacksh*t for my multi above 9!...disappointing that abit can not get it in gear with QX9650...i could go back to 16.B04 to have that capability!...SIGH!
