For now don't worry about the vdroop, find a stable overclock at a vcore and temps you are comfortable with. Use CoreTemp to monitor your temps.Originally posted by: daggermeerkat
Running a Q6600 with a VID of 1.3 and flashed the BIOS to 16 today. If I have a VID of 1.3, does that mean I have to set vcore to 1.36 to compensate for the 0.06 vdroop in order to run the processor stable?
Just a heads up for you IP35 fans - the IP35P is now available at teh Egg. Price is somewhere between the old IP35-E and the Pro.Originally posted by: Ratman6161
On their web site they are saying NEW next to their IP35P which looks to be very very similar but made cheaper with smaller and fewer heat sinks. Feature list looks identical. Speculation: this may be intended to replace the IP35-E
Tempted to get it to replace my nforce4 board. But arggghh another Abit rebate. Free shipping would seal the deal. Be aware that the images at the Egg are of the IP35-Pro not the IP35P. LinkOriginally posted by: AmberClad

Your VID of 1.3V at stock was already on the high side. With your cooling, room temp?, 1.35V with a 55C load temp is good. All your other temps look good.Originally posted by: daggermeerkat
Right .. I am currently @ 360 x 9.0 [3.240Ghz] @ 1.35V and its been running stable for 3 hours using Small FFTs. Temps @ load are 55 Celcius. Can't do 360FSB below 1.35V .. is there any way I can bring down the core voltage by modifying other values in the BIOS settings? All other settings are at stock/auto with this configuration. Here's a screenshot with HW Monitor.

True enough. Same here, ran all bios from 12-17. I am running the 17 bios now and it does the same damn thing, losing my Oc settings on cold boot.
May be I should just flash back to 12 and be done with all the updates.
:disgust:
I've been back to V12 for awhile, last bios I tried was a V16 beta, so I don't remember if any other manual settings other than my CPU OC changed in the first section on cold boot.Originally posted by: METALWORK

Do you lose all the changes made in bios settings or only those manual settings changed in the first section?

So, how different is the IP35P from the beloved but seemingly retired IP35-E? It certainly looks different (personally I preferred the deep blue of the IP35-E, heh). The specs appear almost identical, however. The main difference seems to be the addition of the 'EZ' switch to enable clearing the CMOS without opening the case, though Newegg's page doesn't list this feature for some reason.
As the MadScientist has pointed out, the current Newegg photos are jumble of IP35P and IP35 Pro photos. The latter photos in the series are IP35P.
I do hate opening a case just to clear the CMOS, but I'm not sure the convenience is worth an extra $20.
