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

[S3RV0]

Most reliable mobo I've ever owned, and still gets the job done.

Still running mine with my Q6600 @ 3.6GHz. I've been really tempted my bite the bullet on a 2500k setup, but my ip35, Q6600 and GTX 580 are giving me 60FPS on BF3, Skyrim, Rage and anything else I want to play.

Such is the case with games being developed for consoles with 5 year old hardware...

^ Yes, exactly. I'm getting good fps on the games I play, and thing is still solid on a E8400.

Yea I have been looking at an upgrade just to get to SSD, did not realize the user community updated the BIOS. This board has been fantastic.

I'm building a budget system for my son-in-law using the IP35 Pro and Q6600, and I need a $50-$60 video card for it. The one I'm seriously looking at is this: GIGABYTE GV-R667D3-1GI Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card, which I can get for about $57 shipped after the rebate. Usage will be watching videos and maybe some light gaming. Will this newer card work easily with the older IP35-Pro, or is there maybe a better option in the same price range? Thanks.
