I would put the PC in the garage overnight so the temperature will fall below 60F. If the PC will not POST in the morning, then try another PSU (non-Seasonic, Corsair, or TP Trio) if possible. Repair is convered under warranty. I would request cross-shipment.
Also note that this problem may be a by-product of IP35 and some Seasonic PSUs. There are many confirmed reports about failure to POST with IP35 and Seasonic/Corsair/Antec TP Trio. I have TP Trio 430 and TP Trio 550 (version A2). Both work fine with my IP35-Es below 60F.
Hey Serpent,
I overclocked my ip35 got the system to do 3.0 on a E2160 chip..1.405 volt.. Adata 6400 ram..runs orthos great..
But after a week of testing I have come to realize I got stuck with a board that will not boot when the room temp is below 60f.. My back patio room gets down to mid 30's and the system starts but will not start up the video card,,All fans run,,but no post.
Then when the thermometer on the wall goes up to 60f, all of a sudden the system runs great..That's funny stuff..
Looked up the RMA specs and it will cost me more to ship it back , and if I use the cross shipment option. there is a 7 dollar fee. After receipt of the new board the warranty is only 90 days after that..
So I have decided to stick with it and run it only the system indoors.. LOL..Funny this I was going to use this system outdoor? go figure..
I 've been a big fan of Abit..And now a bigger fan of gigabyte..Oh well that's life..Maybe a year from now I will get board of the no post issue and RMA the board and get lucky and receive a IP35 pro? LOL
