Same here, tried running my corsair at 1T .. even when its set in the BIOS as that, it reverts to 2T. Does that 5-5-5-15 too, so just stuck with 4-4-4-12 2T.
it's still an IP35-E thread though so imo you would have been better posting it in it's own thread.Originally posted by: RRTRACKS

We know that OCZ Gold 6400 isn't a good match for the IP35 (although it's believed to be OCZ's fault with a poor SPD programming) & similarly we know that Platinum Rev. 2 works OK at the default JEDEC 1.8V with 1 DIMM & with 2 DIMMs at the OCZ recommended voltage (which is higher than the JEDEC standard).
What I don't recall ever seeing before was an 8.7. code (as that relates to CPU core voltage) due to memory , normally that would get you a C1.

Hi,
I have bought this board to exchange with DP35DPM early this year (DP35DPM goes crazy while installing XP for SATA issue).
Using Enlight 4205 casing - ACBel E2510 - C2Q6600 - 2GB Corsair an - SATA DVD - 1xSATA ST250Gb - 1x WD160Gb - 1x WD120Gb - XP Pro - Vista Ultimate - (a few hackintosh - prior to a real Mac) and working with a few double post. Flashed BIOS to v.14.
Thing goes very well until I noticed that the HDD LED is NOT BLINKING from before - it keeps on glowing - means that I will not know if theres a hard disk doin' a read/write. The casing's HDD LED works with the DP35DPM before.
I e-mailed Abit Taiwan but the best answer is to RMA.
Thanks - and sorry if this is a wrong thread.
The problems with non-JEDEC spec. memory are not unique to abit, it's a pretty general situation. Unfortunately you started out with what is possibly the worst RAM to combine with the IP35 & unfortunately you either didn't mention it explicitly or I missed it otherwise we may have saved some of your heartache.Originally posted by: RRTRACKS
Given the tech at OCZ told me to use a DRAM voltage of 2.0v, the 1.8v voltage settings with Windows were not even attempted with the Platinum memory. You cannot even begin to imagine how tired I have become at working on this box that is supposed to be a computer. Doing the minimum to get the darn thing working is where I have been coming from lately. However with two of the Platinum memory sticks the BIOS will post with the default memory voltage of 1.8v.

has anyone seen the ip35 e show back up anywhere at reasonable prices again?
as long as it's within the manufacturer's allowed voltages (otherwise you void the warranty), no.Originally posted by: RRTRACKS
You mentioned the OCZ Platinum memory as being non-JEDEC spec. memory. Unless I am mistaken, this means a higher voltage would be required for the memory to operate correctly. Is there any downside in doing this if both tests run on the memory and operating system fail to report errors with an acceptable CPU operating temperature?
user experience seems to show that whilst the Plat Rev.2 is fine for use with 2 DIMMs on the IP35 series there are better for use with 4 DIMMs or indeed 2x 2Gb is usually preferrable (2 DIMMs is less stress for the memory controller).Should I decide to upgrade from 2 to 4GBs of memory, would going from two to four dimms of the OCZ Platinum memory be a problem? Would spending a bit more to buy two 2GB dimms of JEDEC spec. memory allowing for future expansion be worth the extra cost, given the limited technologic life of the motherboard?
tried doing a couple of restarts?Originally posted by: jporter
I'd like to say I love the Abit IP35-E board I have got but I have to say, if an overclock fails you have to open the case and manually reset the CMOS?!

I got around this by using a 3 pin fan extension cable plugged onto the cmos clear jumpers, stuck it through an open slot cover at the back, with the cmos clear jumper stuck on the end.
Works a treat and never have to open the case to clear the cmos.

Here is another thought.
