Hey, does anyone here happen to have the recent bios update on hand? I just got an e8400 but for some reason Abit's site and forums are down.
 
well i may have missed that news. sucks that they didnt keep up a site for drivers and such.

does anyone have these files on hand or am i screwed.
 
I noticed this also this weekend. What I find odd is that they mentioned that they were still handling RMAs. How is that possible when you kill the website? If it were one website, it could just be down. But it looks like all the abit websites are mia.
 
I have the 16 bios, which I think is the last one.Send me a message with your e-mail address and I will send it to you.
 
ask BUFF who's a member here.

I'm sure he can tell you to get the last BIOS version (BIOS 18 IIRC)

good luck!
 
Oh shit! Abit went under? If I need to RMA something, I should do that ASAP right? My IP35 has been a little messed up for a while but I've been putting off RMAing it.
 
im using 16 from rpchip and its working great. what are the changes in bios 18?

@insane, i wouldnt even know where you could get the rma since the sites down.
 
can't even get their site to work, or reach their phone number.

This blows. My IP35 pro needs to be rma. CPU fan doesn't turn on.

Does anyone have a converter type of thing that turns the cpu fan connection into a molex connection?
 
The newest final bios I used on mine until some of the pci slots died last week (my fault i think) was bios 17. I had no idea Abit was going to stop making mobos though. Yeah the vdrop + vdroop on the iP35 Pro is a bit much. Had to set my Q6700 to 1.565 in the bios to get ~1.51 in Windows @ 3.6ghz. Then under load it drops down to 1.46V or so.

Hopefully the Asus Maximus II Formula board I get tomorrow will be better and possibly require less voltage @ 3.6ghz+
 
I'm on BIOS 16 right now with a new build. With the E8400, I can't get the IP35 Pro stable at FSB 400 no matter what the multiplier, which is really dissappointing. Was hoping for 4.0ghz overclock, and figured I'd back it down to 3.6ghz for 24/7 use - and I can't even get 3.6ghz (hell, I can't get 2.4 with FSB at 400)

We'll have to try the 18 BIOS and see if that helps, otherwise I'll have to grab a P5Q-E, P5Q Pro, or Gigabyte P45-UD3P. (at least those are on my short list)
 
I finally got mine stable on orthos/prime. Turns out, my video card was clocked too high, which is weird since it worked fine with the e6750. Drop everything a couple mhz and is now running solid.
 
Mack I think I had to jack up the nb voltage past 1.5 to get mine stable at 400x9, so most of the time I was running 360x10. But I had the same experience b/t bios 16 and 17 (final versions). Anyway, it's all a moot point since my pci slots are dead.

Thanks. I'll have to try cooking the NB a bit. I only went as high as 1.44v (I think) in my playing around. I didn't think 400 fsb should need a 0.25v bump in voltage, but shows you what I know. Might be more reason to grab a p45 board, since I'd like to go 400-450 fsb -- or just crank the voltage on the p35 and hope for the best (the board was uber cheap on clearance)
