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

[Ace-a-Rue]

Hey guys,

I know I don't post much here on XS, but for anyone that does not know me. I run a QX9650 on my IP35pro and use it for LN2 benching.

I've been given on loan a QX9770 and I'm having some funny issues.
Getting it to post has been a hell of a time.
I did get it to after an hour of trying, even went cold!

This is what I found in the bios.



Has anyone here used a QX9770 on this board, or knows of someone I can PM.
I've changed the above to 400X8, and I'm installing windoz now. But I can't seem to use anything other than 8. Do note, this has been 100% fine with the QX9650.

hi deanzo!

i know 17.b02 did not unlock the multi on my 9650...but...as you see, 17.b04 appears to do the trick as posted above.

i tried to get my hands on a QX9770 but i was unsuccessful.

it doesn't surprise me about your 9770 issues since Abit is having a difficult time addressing the 9650 unlocking problem until now.

have you tried using the 9770 on an X48 board or X38 board?

Hey mate

Just flashed to 17.b04, everything seems fine with my QX9650 (though it was only on for about 10mins)
I've put the QX9770 back in, and it now posts all most every time .
It will even try and boot into windoz (the HDD I had on was for the 9650, so I didn't let it go all the way)
What it wont do, is enter the bios, No way in hell was it ever going to do it. Tried for over an hour! every time I tried it would stick at post code 75

I've got a Asus P5E3 Premium WiFi-AP (X48) board here as well, takes a bit to get your head around. But when you do, runs nice.
I don't know if it's just this board or all of them, but this P5E3 Premium runs well on air. But as soon as I try to run at -140c it's a total pig, so much so if it was mine I'd run over it with the car!
So I was going to try the IP35pro to see what the QX9770 could do. As you know my Abit board loves the cold

Think I may try and get my hands on a XFX 790i Ultra and see how that does.

I'll let you know how the new bios goes cold when I get the time.
