Abit IP35P LGA775 P35 ATX Intel Motherboard $57.99 AR + Shipping (NewEgg)

I read the review for this one, seems the FSB don't go as high as the older line of IP35E, probably the components used are a little weaker. Still at this price, not too bad.
 
I'm very pleased with my Abit IP35-E, but I hope some local punters go in for this IP35P deal. Very few people appear to have tried the IP35P (given the paucity of Newegg comments), which is a little surprising. Is it so much inferior to the IP35-E? The specs are more or less the same, though the IP35P offers convenient CMOS clearing ('EZ' switch). The one worry is that physically the board seems inferior to the IP35-E (let alone the IP35 Pro); a prospective buyer might think twice about the board's stability and longevity. There doesn't seem to be PWM cooling onboard.

But it's less than $60! Someone has got to try it...
 
Everyone compares it to the -e model.......I just think it's a great deal on a P35 chipset.
 
Ughh... I got all excited about IP35P model at a lower price point than IP35-E, and it's all for nothing.

Folks, this is new and "improvied" IP35P. The old IP35P (with the Blue PCB) had better heatsinks and solid capacitors around CPU/memory sockets. This version uses solid state capacitors only around CPU socket, and I think less than on the old board.

Yes, this is a good deal on P35 chipset, but this new IP35P board is not the same as the old one.
 
Okay, so is this a good board to start a socket 775 system or no? I still have socket 939, and am thinking about the upgrade. I don't want to spend more than $100 for mobo. If not, what do you recommend?
 
I ordered this motherboard when it was $66 after $10 rebate last week. I will install it tonight and update this thread with my opinions on it. So far from the reviews I have read most people consider this an excellent board for the money. We are talking about $57 here for a P35 chipset Abit motherboard. Yes, its not the IP35-E, or the pro..but those boards are $99-$140. For basic overclocking and stability I think this will be fine. I will be setting mine up with a Q6600 cpu and 4gb of adata 800mhz ddr2 tonight. updates to follow
 
Not to beat a dead horse, but I get the feeling people loved the IP35-E because they were getting a $100+ motherboard for $70. The IP35P sounds like.. a $70 board. Though for $58, that's still technically a deal. 😉

As long as the board is stable it should make a fine purchase for users migrating to Core 2 Duo on a budget.

See the OP's thread in the 'Motherboards' forum for links to discussion and reviews of the IP35P. X-bit Labs did manage a 4.1 GHz overclock using an E8400.

Yeah, I just realized my bad. I confused IP35P with IP35 which is what I was talking about and which was built on blue PCB with plenty of solid capacitors and heatsink on mosfets.

This is indeed different motherboard. My mistake.
 
This P version will not overclock as well as other boards, probably due to the 3 phase voltage regulation. The Pro and -E boards have 4.
But as others have said, it's probaby a decent board for the money.
Of course if you hurry Newegg has open box -E boards for about $50 right now.


 
If the IP35E is any measure, then this one should run just fine up to 450mhz, which means you can overclock the 200/266 chips (such as my E4500) to really good speed.
 
got the board by UPS today..installed it without a hitch. I think someone mentioned it didn't have the EZ cmos switch, but it actually does. So far it is great!

squeeze wont happen till I get a better hsf in the mail. I am using a Q6600 processor with stock hsf right now.
 
ahhh, come on... u ought to be able to go 3 or 3.2 ghz with the stocker... just tickle it a bit to get us all excited... u don't need to push up the voltage or anything, come onnnn....

That doesn't sound very good. I don't think you can run a quad-core with less than 4 voltage phases reliably.

4 phases is pushing it even, I had two MSI boards die on me.

This Abit board scares me a little with the lack of any cooling on the PWM, I doubt this thing would overclock too well.
 
I am a little dated on the motherboard scene, can someone explain to me what the phase differences are, and how I can effectively cool the PWM on this board?

thanks!
 
the power transistors... look at some other higher end mobos and you'll see a skinny heatsink near the cpu... u can buy a heatsink for them... the advent of tall, blow front to back coolers has taken away some of the ventilation that they used to get...
