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

[Daytime Dreamer]

Update

I flashed to Bios Version 14, following Ace-A-Rue's rules with the USB flash method ... all went well

Now ... here are my 24/7 settings which were stable on my UBUNTU 8.04 setup but not during the installation of Windows (I have noticed that stable overclocks often fail Windows setups, anyway). The thing is that when I formatted the hard disk and the Windows installation started copying files, it froze at various stages (69%, 85%) and said it could not read from the DVD ... when I pushed the reset button the hard drive could not be detected anymore during post. The only fix was to run the pc off and back on again

This were my BIOS settings for 500X7=3500mhz on a c2d6300 with 4X1gb Crucial Ballistix D9GMH, actively cooled by an OCZ cooler

CPU Core Voltage = 1.4850
DDR2 Voltage = 2.100V
CPU VTT 1.2V Voltage = 1.31
MCH 1.25V Voltage = 1.48V
ICH 1.05V Voltage = 1.09V
ICHIO 1.5V Voltage = 1.65
DDR2 Reference Voltage = 0%
CPU GTLREF 0&2 = 67%
CPU GTLREF 1&3 = 67%

Memory was set at 5-5-5-15 with all other settings at auto & 2T

Please suggest any tweaks/changes to the above settings. Just a note : I could pass memtest all day with the above settings and Ubuntu ran like a dream (video encoding, mp3's, movies) BUT keep in mind the UBUNTU setup was on a SCSI controller, the SATA ports of the IP35-Pro were never used (DVD ran of the IDE controller)

if your pc was overclocked when installing windows,i would suggest you run everything at stock,other than maybe a little extra vcore and vdimm!!

did you say which windows version this is happening on?

[strange|ife]

just noticed C1E&EIST are broken in BIOS 17

*fixed*

strange did a reflash and hard cmos reset via battery removal and C1E works fine again

Its a WinXP Pro with service pack 3 splipstreamed Ace.

Settings seems to work now after the install but I have idle temps of 50-52 celcius. I am using an Ultra 120 with a push-pull config
