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

run it at 2.2V thats what mine are runnig on.

 

[Nick1881]

My RAM was faulty

What kind of Vdrop are people getting on this board?

I set 1.475 in the bios and it shows 1.35 in windows, but doesnt seem to drop under load.

It's quite bad on mine, I'm running blend at the moment and CPUZ is showing 1.12/1.13v when I've got it set to 1.225v in the bios

 

[Nick1881]

Is there a Vdrop mod?

 

[Cob]

Mine drops roughly 0.1v with my quads.

But it's easy to compensate.

If you're up for a little soldering there is yeah - http://www.blazingpc.com/forum/showthread.php/abit_ip35_pro_vdroop_mod-10434/index.html

running the latest beta BIOS?
I think that you'll find that improves it.

 

[Nick1881]

Ah, i'm running bios 14 so I should update.

I read not to use the abit program though, why not? There is the flashmenu program. With my gigabyte I used the @BIOS program and it worked great.

I'll have to wait to get my usb hdd back off my mate to do it if I shoudnt use FlashMenu.

 

[Cob]

I'd stick with BIOS 14. It's the best for the 65nm chips.

I get huge vdrop with 14, 16.04, 16 and the latest 17 beta anyway.


You've loads of vcore options on this board, so it's really easy to compensate for vdrop.

 

[Nick1881]

Thanks cob,

What can I set in the bios to reduce vdrop?

I am already using the voltage settings you posted in this thread and currently at 3.6Ghz stable.

Thanks cob,

There's nothing you can do in BIOS to stop the vdrop. Just class the reading in Windows as your vcore rather than the BIOS setting.

There's no point in thinking that you're using 1.5v when you're really only using ~1.4v.

 

[Nick1881]

So I would be safe to push the vcore in bios up to say 1.6?

I tried 1.5v to get 3.7Ghz stable but prime failed after a few mins with a rounding error.

 

[Cob]

What are your temps like? 1.6v in BIOS will be pretty high unless you've got great cooling.

But even then go up slowly (no more than 0.02v at a time). If upping the vcore makes little difference then mess with the other voltages.

 

[Nick1881]

Its loading at 55 C at 3.6Ghz.

Its already beating my DS3 as I could only get 3.5 stable with that.

 

[Cob]

55c is grand. The chips can easily run over 80c with no issues when Priming.

 

[Nick1881]

Cool.

Well I just set 1.5575 in bios and in windows Cpu-Z shows 1.4v but oddly under prime it went up to 1.48, I thought it was meant to droop?

After 10 mins of prime my hottest core hit 65C a few times though my room is a warm 23.4 C atm.

I may try to push it to 3.8 latter on.

Thanks again Cob

 

[wuyanxu]

wow, that's some series cooling, what cooler and case have you got?

 

[Nick1881]

Antec P182 and Thermalright Ultra 120 eXtreme

 

[wuyanxu]

:O same as mine. and at 1.28v (under load) im getting 60c temperature at 3.2Ghz Small FFT Prim95 load.

what fan?

 

[Nick1881]

Fan is a Sharkoon Silent Eagle 2000, also have one in the front of the case.
