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

[Ligushka]

thanks but I use an oc profile when I really need the horsepower and run almost stock 24/7 ....little easier to do this within uguru than booting to the bios each time....its more of a convenience than anything else...at least for me

Ah, forgot about the overclocking stuff built into µGuru.

Don't know which (if any) version of µGuru works properly in Win7. I'm assuming you tried compatibility mode already?

[squito]

µGuru killed abit

[aztec]

^ No, if I'm not mistaken it was one of the executives that swindled the company, among other things.

I have tried 3109 in every mode in W7 that I could think of and all allowed me to set my default speed at pretty much whatever I wanted(within reason of course) but as soon as I tried to edit profiles ...prog would crash....I read on another forum another poster was using 3103 and it was working to some extent...

You are correct - just putting the blame on the one thing I do not like about this board

[zzz]

I just bought a Q9550 and pop in this board but it just wont post,i'd even flashed to bios 18 beta,it keeps on shut off after 5 sec. Any advice to get it work ? thanks in advance

I'm glad abit are dead. They have sucked ever since the NF7 days just after they let Oscar & Co go. Good riddance to a company that time and again showed they could build awesome hardware then bungle it beyond belife with crappy BIOSes and incompetent programmers.

"Crappy BIOSes and incompetent programmers" could be said about ANY mobo mfg at some point or another.

Let's not even go there.

[Rippermac]

I'm pretty sure it has never been fixed....works great in earlier bios...cant remember which one I'm running but its been working flawless...now if someone could provide a link to Uguru 3103 I would really appreciate it

Never mind the Uguru...I found a link to all of them

[Amaze]

I ordered a q9550 last week and now I see a lot of people have trouble booting with it. I sure hope it's a problem mostly with ip35 pro as I got the regular board. Do they use different BIOS?
I see on the first page that the link to v18 bios is m629b_18.bin while the v18 for the regular board is m630a18.
I'll let you know how it goes when my cpu arrives.

[aztec]

Has anyone found a fix for the USB keyboard bug in BIOS 17/18 yet?

One reason why I stayed on v16. No probs on E6600 or E8400.

[Amaze]

Is the ip35 without an LLC setting?

[mikecdm]

Is the ip35 without an LLC setting?

I don't remember ever seeing LLC on my ip35pro. I remember constantly complaining about the vdroop and never having the courage to try and do the vdroop mod.

[Amaze]

Yea the vdroop is just awful

[vailr]

I'll add another.


The IDE drivers don't work with Win 7x64, so the OS doesn't see any old HD's you have connected to the IDE ports. I didn't notice this till today, tried all the drivers on the front of this thread and none worked.

The IDE port, as well as the eSATA port, both run off the JMicron controller chip.

Hey guys, quick question here, I've been searching for a definite answer as to whether the IP35 Pro supports the Q9650 E0 stepping...

I've found one dirt cheap and I'm thinking of getting it, however some people have had luck with their Ip35s and others not (no POST)...

Can someone clarify this for me?

[aztec]

AFAIK, with the later BIOSes (16 and up) the 45nm procs are supported.

[Erklat]

Probably up to the BIOS version.Flash the newest BIOS with your current CPU.
I think it should because Abit was still working when 45nm quads went retail.

Guys a noob question.

Ive loaded default settings and when i press the power button it starts with memory testing.

How can i disable it in the bios?I couldnt find the exact setting for changing it!

thanks,Nasos

Seeing this thread make it this far & still going makes me feel good I got this board; but now it's that time. Moving onto i7 so everyone here take care.

One last thumbs up to Abit Usa, only motherboard company I had thus far

[aztec]

Hey it's a great, reliable mobo. I'm not building a new rig until next year.
