Hopefully somebody will most and put us out of our misery ;)

Also if I use the IP35 Pro's onboard NIC's I get static on my Auzentech X-Fi Prelude sound card, I've disable them now and I'm using a Intel Pro/1000 PCI-E NIC and no crackles/pops etc.

This has go me confused. My new build will have 2 SATA optical drives, 2 SATA HDs, non raid ICH9R. Using the above diagram where should I plug the drives.

any of them.

HEADRAT, I don't use RAID but I'm sure that ICH9R is internally split into 2 groups (I believe but not 100% that it's 1&2 & 3-6) & that you can't bridge across them but that you should be able to run both an array & standalone HDDs.
Perhaps try the abit USA forum where there certainly are some RAID users?
 
Hi there, bit of help if pos please,

Picked up a IP35-e today and cant get it to post or anything - it powers on with both lights on for about 5 seconds, powers of for about 5 seconds, then powers up again and so on, there are no beeps at all.

I have tried it with 1 memory dim in different slots and 2 different gfx cards to no avail. I have tried clearing the cmos with all power off and unplugged and the battery out and again no improvment. Anyone any ideas ?

Spec
asus ati 3750 512 meg
e8400 core 2 duo
4 gig geil black dragon 6400
tagan 480 watt psu

Cheers
 
don't suppose that you know what BIOS is on it?
if it's an old 1 it may not support the E8400.

Got another 775 CPU to flash the BIOS with
 
Hey all, I'm a little late to the ip35 pro party but at least I made it.

I've read all this thread and a few other but still have a few questions I hope peeps can answer for me as I aim to start clocking very soon.

First the info you need:
Q6600 (G0) with a TRUE cooler (lapped)
Abit ip35 pro (obviously) (BIOS 14)
4 x 1gb Corsair DDR2 XMS2 DHX PC2-6400C5DHX TwinX (2x1GB) states 1.8v on the chips and 5-5-5-15 timings

P182 case full of sharkoon 2000 golfballs

issues:
The bios is 14 and cpu-z shows this as 10? Also the standard clock in the bios is 266 x 9 and this is again different to what cpu-z shows? no idea why this is can I trust cpu-z?

I've read that you should disable C1E and EIST in the bios before clocking? is this the case and if so are there any more bios settings that should be changed to help? (not including volts, ram divider and the other standard stuff I mean the sometimes random bios tweaks that help stabillity).

I'm hoping to get to 378 x 9 for 3.4ghz but will still be happy with 355 x 9 for 3.2 ghz. I'll post clocks after I've fiddled.

Also I'm looking to use Orthos, CPU-z, Core temp as diagnostics for clocking, any other handy software I should consider?

what is CPU-Z showing for the clock? It could just be EIST at work.
but CPU-Z isn't always infallible or there wouldn't be updates.
edit: there is also a known clash between uGuru & CPU-Z if you have both open at the same time

if you were going to drop the multi I would certainly recommend disabling EIST (quite often on abits it will still try to use the stock multi when enabled) but a lot of people leave it running with the stock multi.

i've disabled one of them, the one listed last in the BIOS, can't remember which one. and my system is very stable no matter which multi i set.

use Abit flash menu to see which BIOS version you've got
 
Thanks guys

CPU-z seems to have sorted itself out now thankfully, I start clocking this morning! I think its the C1E that needs disabling as well.

EDIT: Got the 3.4ghz clock I wanted!

Got a nice stable and cool overclock of a q6600 @3.4ghz on this board, tuniq tower and P182 case really help.
I'm setting the Vcore to 1.32, anyone running less or more Vcore than this??

Most Q6600's will run 3.4GHz with very little extra voltage, then you need a whack more (1.55V - 1.65V) to get over the 3.6GHz stable barrier. You should be fine with that cooler though.

I had to go to 1.43v in BIOS to get 3.4ghz so you've done well. What is your VID? mine was 1.325 to start with which didn't help. My loads temps under prime are 54-56c though and Idle is around 33c +/- 1c on cores so I'm not too concerned.
