*****OFFICIAL OcUK/JW IP35 Pro THREAD*****
- Thread starter WJA96
- Start date
OK - I've been looking at this and it appears that setting anything other than the 667MHz strap in the manual timings results in unpredictable results when the FSB/DRAM ratio option is used in that it generally defaults to 1:1.5 (2:3) or possibly AUTO.
This might explain my somewhat poor CPU overclocks as the RAM has been running at over 1100MHz with only 2.0V through it (default is 2.2V).
Does anyone know when we can expect a BIOS update for this board? I looked on the website and it just says 'Coming Soon'.
Also, is anyone using 2GB OCZ PC6400 RAM with this board? Because I am, and I cant get the bored to POST in dual channel mode, so im currently running in single channel. I know the RAM isnt faulty because it was working fine in my old P5N-E SLI

I'm looking for a BIOS upgrade too, but I'd rather they did the work and got it right rather than rush into it.

I've updated the RAM list in post #2 of this thread, but I haven't tried the OCZ. What are you using to report the RAM status? If it's CPUz, check what version you are using - 1.42 and 1.43 are working fine for me.
Have you tried any more overclocking with a higher multipler?
I have only given it like 2 mins of attention with overclocking, it just fails to boot first time and reverts back to default, wont lift off 2.4ghz. I think I need to up the vcore but wasnt able to locate it in BIOS. (Have never overclocked an Intel before, always done AMD. So im not sure what Intels are like with volts etc..)
And im using CPU-Z 1.42 .

will it be timing + vdimm issue?
have you try loosen the timings, adding vdimm with one stick, save the bios, and boot again with uplifted vdimm then replaced by 2 sticks at dual channel?
will feedback to the BIOS team.
I told WJA the BIOS will be there after the flash tutorial is ready for safety reason.
Just clarify again and again to aviod misleading you guys that we are doing nothing.

is it Platinum series P/N OCZ2P800R22GK ??
kenofstephen - I will try this when I get home from college, dont have time at the moment.
And this is the ram im using:

I've got 8Gb of the G.Skill PC8000 in mine. It booted up no problems with all four slots populated at the default voltage and timings.
This board has a huge amount going for it, if I'd never read the original specification I'd have been a lot more forgiving to be honest.

Nah - I'm stuck at 3.4GHz. I've got 4.2GHz out of the E6750 though
It's stable enough to run SuperPi, but not Prime Stable. I can do 4GHz Prime Stable though (500x8).It does seem much more consistent in it's response to changes with Dual-Cores than Quad-Cores. The voltages are all rock-solid though, still practically no Vdroop at all, but the Northbridge heatsink isn't really big enough for long-term running at 525FSB with 1.65V on the Northbridge and 1.40V on the CPUFSB. I've got a fan on the Northbridge to get it semi-stable at 525FSB, and naturally, I'm running proper custom water-cooling for the CPU.
I will try the older BIOS at the weekend.

The manual has schematics for more than one motherboard as it covers two P35 boards and a G/P31 board (as does the BIOS apparently). I didn't notice any major errors in the manual - but you do have to be careful what pages you're looking at.
There was also an insert in mine for the IP35-Pro.
Hey that's pretty respectable WJA96, nice to see that these boards are living up to expectations now and 525fsb with little to no vdroop is a cracking result for sub £70. Will be interested to see how it copes with 45nm dual cores later this month too
Ah I'm almost regretting sending mine back now!

Its not a major problem if your an experience user.
I just found it slightly tedious looking for the CMOS jumper
EDIT:
I managed to fix the dual-channel problem. Switching the two modules around seemed to fix it. Very strange but at least it works now

More money!
