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

[FlimFlam00]

Maybe this is a spurious correlation, but after I went back to 14, Vista won't recognized my 880 or 7800. What's worse, is that it is seeing the Nvidia drivers. Anytime I try to reinstall the drivers, it says access is denied.

Yes, I am an admin and yes, UAC is turned off. I can only run 1 of 3 monitor right now. Spent the past 6 hours on this. Sucks.

[TheSMJ]

What's your equipment?

....you mean what am I running on the board?

E8400 OCed to 4Ghz (445x9, 1.37v)
8800 (G92) GTS, overclocked to 755, 1830, 1100
4GB Patriot Viper Fin RAM, OCed to DDR2890 @ 4, 5, 5, 12 (bleh)
Running with the 16 B10 BIOS.

If you meant to ask something else, could you please elaborate?

Hello everybody. I just got my e8400, and i was trying to run orthos on stock everything, no oc. Only bump was to the ram from 1.8V to 2.0V, after 20-30 minutes my computer freeze. Temp reading with realtemp are 30-35 idle, 45-50 when running orthos. I should be able to run orthos at stock speed and voltages, any idea?

[fornowagain]

Flashed from 16.B04 to the official 16, needed more vcore to be stable, tried the beta 17.B02 as well. Same thing, more voltage needed. Back to 16.B04. I noticed the cpu VTT was fluctuating on the 16/17.B04, but rock solid on 16.B04

not the Guru here:
do you have uGuru opened?
it was the first question ask when I posted same question on computer freeze.

BTW: can you add your OS in your sig, thx

[Ace-a-Rue]

Weird I flashed to 16, and the BIOS doesn't let me save any settings and exit. It just hangs after I enter Y, and try to save and restart. Ugh.

Edit: This is so strange. When I updated to 16 I could not save my settings all the time; only sometimes, and only certain ones it seems. When I would boot into Win, the OS would not see my 8800 Ultra which runs my 1st two monitors, it would only see the 7800 which runs my 3rd monitor. When I reverted back to 14, everything was peachy again.

sounds like the CMOS is corrupted...the only real way to correct that is to pull your PSU power plug, pop the battery out and clear CMOS for about 5-10 minutes...after that, reset everything back to normal; enter the bios and load optimized bios settings and SAVE...re-enter the bios and make your changes.

EDIT:...if this fails to correct the problem, i presume your flashing process had induced errors or corruption.

[Ace-a-Rue]

Quick question:

I did the bolt-mod on my IP35-pro and replaced the rubbery plastic thing with ceramic based CPU paste. Now, my PWM (as reported by HWMonitor) climbs to 61 C under load, yet the heatsink itself is only a little bit warm to the touch.

Is this normal? I'm wondering if I need to tighten the bolts more or something, yet I'm pretty sure they were as tight as they were going to get when I first put them on.

you need to add a 40mm fan to cool the PWM and also the NB.

@ Ace...recently switched to MX-2, not the car , and Tenax got me worried about my temp.
present screenshots are here so maybe you could point out the temp discrepancy(ies)...hopefully nothing to be too concern coz I about ready to place my mobo in its pc case.

advance thanks
any suggestion for a NB fan btw

Yes, i have the uGuru opened, i will try without, im using xp sp2, i have added in my sig. Thanks.

Hi, thanks Cpl Ledanek, you ware wright, i closed the uguru, orthos 2 hours with no problem.

Anyone running 32-bit Server 2008 as a "workstation"?
Was curious as to whether: that O.S. would allow using 8 Gb memory, even though it's 32-bit?

Edit: only Server 2008 32-bit "Enterprise" (not 32-bit "Standard") version could support 8 Gb memory.

No. The reason 32-bit OSes cannot see more than 4GB of memory total is due to the "physical" limitation of a 32-bit address space. It's not some feature MS decided not to include with some OSes, but an actual limitation of being 32-bits - there are simply no more memory addresses possible beyond 4 gigabytes.

hmm odd flash annomalies. I used thumb drive to flash, with proper switchs. Flash went fine, but when booting back into windows, display drivers corrupt, and vista needed re-activation. Luckily that was a quick fix with online activation. CPU temps via uguru are reading way high..50c, while core temp still shows 32c idle. voltages look normal. I was on bios 14 this whole time. Might try a reflash with a full cmos clear. System seems stable though, just those quirks..never seen odd things like this after a bios flash.

trying to reinstall windows vista sp1. i keep BSOD towards the end of expanding files. Lately i have been seeing error under my raid setup. After each bluescreen during install my raid craps out, bad drives or bad board?

bump?

[strange|ife]

half multi's not working either.. hmm will reflash later. no time right now=[

[strange|ife]

bump?

have you tried only two sticks of ram. And also what are your voltages?

I had ACHI issue's with this board on my last one. I have yet to try RAID/ACHI on this newer one..IDE has been fine.

try also installing just with IDE to rule out a faulty HD.

Hi… I realize that this is probably not the right place for this message but I am building my first computer with an Abit IP-35 Pro and… I’m scared that I’m going to do something wrong and screw it up. I installed the CPU and heat sink but got a bit confused with the front and rear panel wires, especially related to the polarity. I had a few other questions as well. Is there a kind soul familiar with this MB who could help me via IM or phone? It shouldn’t take long for someone who knows what they are doing. Thanks!

Well me running.

Interesting how the first MSDN link says Vista x86 supports it. Given that, I wonder if anyone has tried it?

Furthermore, does it effect performance at all when compaired to Vista x64?

There seems to be some people recommending using Server 2008 over Vista (as a desktop workstation O.S.):

[TheSMJ]

I know what some people "recommend", but IME it's best to use an OS which is designed for the way you actually intend to use it (which does not include playing games on a server OS) due to compatibility issues which tend to pop up.

In any case, why are we even discussing operating systems in a IP35-Pro thread?

Just out of curiosity, how do you access the half multipliers?

I have flashed to latest Bios version 16 and have no idea how to get the half multipliers. I have Q6600 G0.

Cheers

Q6600 doesnt have half mutlis, its the new quads that have this I believe

Only the new "Penryn" family ( 45nm Dual-Core & Quad-Core ) processors support half multipliers.

[rentay]

Ah!

I feel a bit dumb now :P lol

Thanks for the quick replies! Will have to get myself a QX series processor once they come down in price!

Cheers
