Abit IP35-E ocing

cool tnx,
u see I was really worried about the oc cause i read in an article that the ip35-e wont go over 350 while the ip35 goes over 420

and the pro isn't really an option cause I am not going to sli.. if i do then i will go all out for a descent mobo..

anyways, once again tnx

they should both go to ~500 or so if you drop the multi & your CPU etc. are capable.
getting 500+ capable CPUs is the hard bit.

That article is always described by Abit supporters as very odd as the boards are supposedly the same, just with components missing. Now, that's patently not true as the IP35-E has 'wet' capacitors, the IP35 has a mixture of Solid and 'wet' and the Ip35-Pro has 100% solid capacitors. So now the motherboard might be the same, but some have components missing, and some have different basic components.

However, that article is a bit odd, as plenty of results have been posted with the IP35-E where high FSBs have been recorded, so maybe that reviewer just got a bad board?

Pretty much all the P35 boards (including the new £52 Foxconn one) will do high FSBs so if the IP35-E floats your boat, then do it, but there is lots of choice at that price-point now.

the IP35-E & IP35 are extremely similar mobos (as shown by the fact that they share the same BIOS) - basically the same design but the -E has only ICH9 versus ICH9R & firewire on the IP35.
As for "wet" versus solid caps if they are equivalently specified that shouldn't make any difference to actual performance merely longevity.

The IP35 Pro is a somewhat different mobo although again there are obvious similarities in some parts of the design.

Any of the 3 should be capable of doing 500fsb given supporting components also equally capable.
