Abit IP-35 pro and 45nm CPU's

[AD-15]

hello,

Will the Abit IP-35 pro (I believe a 1066 Mhz FSB motherboard) support the latest intel dual and quad core CPU's (I think with 1333Mhz FSB's)?

Thanks!

yes, also recommend to update to the latest BIOS.

All P35 boards support 1333Mhz FSB, but that doesn't mean there won't be the odd glitch with the new 45nm chips without the latest bios update. You may be OK without, I don't know. It's a popular board, chances are someone on here has it and a 45nm CPU...

I'd certainly be interested in an answer to this as while 45nm chips are supported by the motherboard, a correct CPU temperature couldn't be gained - does anyone know if the latest BIOS (v1.7) has fixed this?

Well my new IP35 Pro XE that arrived last Thursday proudly proclaimed on the box that it was 45nm compatible.
It's running very nicely with my E8500.

Yes, I am running BIOS 17 and the temp reporting issue appears to have been fixed.

I hope that helps!

OK, thanks for all the advice!

I run an Abit ip35 motherboard with the upgraded bios v18. In the bios you need to disabled the temp settings or change to a setting so it will run.It seems the bios reports wrong temp and the computer thinks it is overheated and shuts down.Run a good heat monitor and it should be fine.
