Abit IP35 Dark Raider

[format]

Can anyone tell me -

Does it have a POST display on the board... with an on/off and reset switch on it?
Also, how many of the 3 pin fan connectors does the board have... and where are they placed?

Thanks

there's 3x 3pin fan connectors on the board
1 in the bottom left of the board.
1 in the bottom left corner of where the CPU outline is marked and 1 next to the motherboard power supply plug.

the 4 pin fan connector is right next to the 3 pin in the bottom left of the marked CPU area.

no post display, you need the pro for that.

what is the POST display?
is that when it checks everything?
'cause i'm sure you can press TAB and it gives you the POST display..

I took it to me the digital read out of post error codes which the PRO has and the dark raider doesn't.

[matty-hodgson]

do you mean that small LCD screen thing on the motherboard?

[Agent]

Yes.

[matty-hodgson]

well in answer to that question, no it doesn't have 1

I have 1 of them its external makes a good clock while u r running a game and cant see desktop.

cant see much other point in it. used to have a mobo that had a voice post that was cool at the time.

The POST LED is handy for troubleshooting.
& the IP35 doesn't have onboard power & reset switches - again you need the Pro for those.

Unless you really need the extras I'd save the momney and go with this board. I built a PC for a friend using one, it performed really well, as well as my x38 at normalish speeds (q6600@3.2Ghz)

You might even go for the IP35-E, besides lacking Raid and Firewire it's the dark raider's identical twin.

One thing to keep in mind: only one - besides the CPUfan - of the 3-pin fan headers can be speed-controlled. If you want a quiet system it may be advisable to get additional 2 fan controllers.

I'd like it to have 4 of the 3 pin connectors ( I have 3 80mm fans and a 120mm fan)
The post display is actually necessary atm because my case button needs to be rewired and the button on the display is needed to power on the machine.
Does the pro have these features?

[BUFF]

yes, the IP35 Pro has an LED POST reporter, onboard power & reset buttons & an external clearCMOS switch.

I can't see the reset buttons here?



Also, do you get the uguru panel with this?
