That makes perfect sense when you think about it. Any chance of increasing the maximum CPU and RAM voltages? My E8400 will definitely go faster, but it needs more voltage. 1.58V isn't enough. I also think that may be holding back some Q6600 overclocks too.

As far as I am aware there is no maximum 'safe' voltage. Anything over the vID (stock) is dodgy and the box very clearly says (on mine at least) 1.225V Max.
I'm putting the full 1.58V through mine at the moment and when I swap over in a few minutes I'll be trying for more than 4.5GHz on a Gigabyte X38-DS4 and I reckon that will need more than 1.6V (in BIOS). By overclocking you risk damaging the CPU. I would normally say don't worry about voltage, however there have been reports of electron migration damage through overvolting Wolfdales so if your stable overclocks start dropping for no reason beware!
As for temperature, Intel shut it down automatically at 105C for protection purposes so that's what they think is safe.
Your RAM (assuming it's this stuff) is rated 1.8-2.0V but OCZ allow 10% so 2.2V is the maximum 'safe' voltage.

How are you installing it? They usually come as exe files?
http://www.jwele.com/UserFiles/download/WDM_R186.exe is the latest.
It should simply be a case of just running it.
Is this a clean install or are you upgrading from the P5B in your signature? If it's an upgrade you may need to clean up the audio drivers.
Oh - and it definitely is the OcUK/J&W IP35-Pro, isn't it?

Ah - right, this is hugely confusing but Abit make 3 boards called IP35 - the IP35-E, the straight IP35 and the IP35-Pro. Those are made by Abit, a company based in Taiwan.
This thread is about a motherboard called the J&W IP35-Pro. It's made by J&W Electronics, a Chinese company, and it's a completely different motherboard made by a different company, in a different country.
The drivers you want are these ones;

Hopefully, that should see you running properly.

they are set @ 667mhz to allow the high fsb
Have you tried the 800MHz strap? I don't think setting 667MHZ is doing what you think it's doing.
tried the 800mhz bootstrap
Good to know someone else is getting decent results!
Buy another X1950XTX - they're about £75 now 2nd hand, and run Crossfire. That'll speed you up a bit.
I'm running 2 512Mb x1950Pro's and they do 11,000 in 3DMark06 with the 4.45GHz E8400. I paid less than £100 for the pair, and the whole system didn't cost me £400 excluding the PSU and Case. Incredible value.
As far as I know there are no Omega drivers for Vista 32-bit yet, but have a google for beta drivers and there are some better than the official drivers available.
G.Skill PC8000 with 2.18V on it.
MIne does something similar with NVidia graphics cards. The system is actually booting fine, but there is nothing on the video? It works fine with ATI graphics cards, and is usually fine with NVidia, but once in a while it just doesn't start the graphics. Keep recycling the reset button and I think it'll light up OK.
Yes, it does. By default it is enabled, in 32-bit mode, but it obviously only works in Vista.
I can see the HDD/Optical Drive port allocations, then I get the Vista boot screen almost immediately. I have tried messing about with various settings, but I can't make it show the PCI slot allocations.
ALC883 on mine.
Yes, I'm running a pair of X1950Pro's in CrossfireX and it does 10,952 in 3DMark06 with my 4.45GHz E8400 with the Catalyst 8.2 drivers. The 8.3 drivers are theoretically better, but not in 3DMark06.
The Pro has both (the BNC at the top is the IN, and the optical below is out).
A video? You're having a laugh aren't you? I don't work for OcUK or J&W, and while I'm quite happy to answer questions about this board, I think you're pushing the limits of what can reasonably be asked. I've spent at least an hour this afternoon trying to get it to display the PCI slot allocations and you still haven't answered my query about why you want to see the PCI slot allocations on boot-up?
A video
So the board itself boots up fine, but won't run Windows or even detect the HDD? My first thought would be a bad XP update, or a virus, or a bad HDD possibly.
I'd certainly try some more fault-finding before sending it back as OcUK service department will levy a testing fee if the board is tested by them as good.
