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

[aztec]

Aztec, I wish I had taken a pic of what I did. The S1 comes with a sink for the VRM area> The S1 comes with a sink for that area on an X1950. Only problem is the bolt holes do not line up. But with the help of my trusty old Dewalt, a new hole did appear and there is now a sink on the five chips in question. I ran ATItool 3d app for over five minutes and the temps rose to 63c, which is a far cry from the low 80's with the stock cooler.

Sounds good. Did you up the fan speeds?

Man this thread is amazing, 271 pages and still going. I just received a Q9550 yesterday and have it fired up in my IP35 Pro. I am going slow on this as it is my first 45nm chip and don't want to cook it. Here is where I am so far, this machine is a Kruncher running Boinc WCG: My plan is to get to 3.8 and run it there 24/7.

The fans won't plug into the 4870 so you can't control them that way, but I have an idea that should be more than adequate. I have 2 Artic Cooling AF 12025 PWM fans I tried in push/pull in my TRUE. Even at high speed they are pretty quiet. I would guess they should handle the job quite well. I am going to have to change the fans in the side of my Stacker. I now have some orange bladed YL's and I need some more airflow onto the IP35-Pro. Even with the change in the coolingon the PMW area, and with a 40mm fan on it, it is still too hot for any summer o/c past 3600. It is a hard area to get any flow across as it sits right in the path of the TRUE exit and a 120mm exhaust fan, but below the airflow. I have some 3-speed Antec's I may experiment with so see if increasing the side intakes will help.

anyone know why i only have sound coming out my left speaker?

i have the 2 jumpers set on pins 5-6 and 9-10 is this right for using HD Audio from the back panel? according to the manual putting jumpers on them pins disables the f/l audio panel right?

thanks, really annoying was fine when i was using the front panel.
