hello NG,
for my new PC which I will assamble shortly the Abit IP35 Pro is a hot
candidate. Does anyone know this board well and could tell me the good
sides (and, if there are any, also the "bad" sides)?
One thing that worries me a bit is that there are only 4 USB ports - this
seems a little low number of ports; or do I misunderstand something?
Thanks for your hints, best regards, Erich

Supposedly its very good

i have one

2 things i dont like

1) the reboot issue but mine is abou 99% better with ver 11 bios and the
write block for
bios upgrade - check this group for more info

"sussed it

ignore the abit switches to flash

use these

/py /sn /Wb /cd /cp /cc /CKS

clearing bootblock is key i think

hope it helps someone "



2) i find the sata sockets a real pain where they are but i can cope - you
get 6

but i like the passive cooling

The IP35 Pro has 4 I/O panel USB connectors, but it also has 4 USB headers
on board. Each of those headers supports 2 USB ports. I don't know whether
it would be possible to use the maximum 12 ports, but I expect that you
could.

Abit supplies a card slot USB/IEEE1394 bracket, so you can use 6 USB ports
without additional hardware. I also use two front USB ports on my case, so I
have a total of 8 available.

The 6 Intel SATA connectors all face the rear of the board, which isn't
always convenient. (It means that they don't interfere with a long graphics
card like an nVidia 8800GTX, though.)

The integrated gigabit LAN controllers are connected to the PCI bus rather
than the PCI-E bus, which limits their maximum rate. (I could care less, as
I'm not on a gigabit LAN.)

I got the board because I wanted a P35 mainboard, with the ICH9R RAID
controller, but without all the extras that Asus (for example) puts on their
high-end boards.

Asus has two features that I miss:

1) ability to update the BIOS using a BIOS-based utility (rather than
booting into an operating system like DOS)
2) BIOS recovery feature (probably related to feature 1)

I've been satisfied with the IP35 Pro. I haven't pushed the overclocking to
its limits, but it runs a Q6600 (G0) at 3 GHz without difficulty (air
cooling).


Return address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.

That's odd. I just put together a Asus cheapie board and was able to flash
the BIOS from the BIOS screen you can use EZFlash 2 to do this using a thumb
drive, which I did.

In fact I'm sure I can do the same thing on an older Socket A board I have
here, but it only works with 3.5in floppy drives.

> 2) BIOS recovery feature (probably related to feature 1)


I don't think there are too many manufacturers who don't have some kind of
feature which does this.
Asus has Crashfree 2 where the BIOS will look for a ROM on a floppy or CD if
a corrupted BIOS is detected.

Not as convenient as boards that store their CMOS info locally, but how
often do you think you will need to recover from a corrupted BIOS?

You must have an IP35E or IP35. The Pro version never had an issue
with reboots.

Did I write unclearly?

EZFlash 2 and the BIOS recovery tool are Asus features that the Abit board
lacks. So, I miss them.

Your posted Newegg link is for the Abit *IP35* NOT the IP35 Pro!!

Here is the link to the Abit I35 Pro:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813127030
This Abit *Pro* MB seems NOT to have any "dual boot" issues!

it does but not anywhere as bad as the ip35

i'll give you the link though Smile

i looked into this with mine a while ago

mine was bios 10 though so newer ones if they're 11 would be better

still think the sata ports are in a bad position at least for my case

I have an IP35-E mainboard and there are no working proceedures for
booting to a RAID array.
Has anyone done this yet? The original boot CD comes up with an error
after the choice to 'Make Driver Disk' is given. The manual goes on
from there, but, that does me no good. The official website has only
2 FAQ's and they are bogus (unrelated). The site has no
updates...exept the BIOS update, but, that requires an OS to use
it...they don't let you update the bios with a floppy... Should I
install the OS on one of the sata drives solo? Is it possible to
create the bootable RAID after? I have 4 drives. Can I create a
Stripe/Mirror after?

Dang....this blows like the wind...

Your mobo uses the ICH9 Southbridge. You need the ICH9R Southbridge
to support RAID. IOW, your mobo doesn't do RAID.

And you can update the bios with a floppy.

Go here:
http://forum.uabit.com/forumdisplay.php?f=48

for an Abit sponsored forum that will likely answer your questions.
