Introduction
Universal
abit has been pretty quiet since the early of this year. This is probably due to
restructuring and this resulted in very little exposure of their products on the
online media. Today, we take a look at one of their latest products, the IP35
Pro.
The fanless heatpipe IP35 Pro is a high end board from
Universal abit. It is based on the Intel P35/ICH9R pair and supports the Intel®
Core™ 2 Extreme/Duo/Quad processors with 1333/1066/800MHz FSB and Intel®
Core™ 2 Extreme/Quad/Duo & Pentium® Dual Core Processors. It has 4 X 240-pin
DIMM sockets support max. memory capacity 8GB of Dual channel DDR2 800/667
Un-buffered Non-ECC memory. The board also comes with Dual Gigabit LAN
controller supports 10/100/1000M Ethernet and On board 7.1 CH HD Audio CODEC
which supports auto jack sensing and optical S/PDIF In/Out + HDMI ready header
(SPDIF header).
The board also comes with Dual full length PCIe slots which
allows two graphisc cards to be used on board in CrossFire mode. There are also
6 SATA II ports which supports RAID 0/1/5/10, 2 eSATA by Jmicron MB363, 2 x IEEE
1394, 10 USB ports. -E X16 (x4 bandwidth), 1 x PCI-E X1,
Most importantly, this board has on board power on/off, reset
button, that makes and debug led. this makes troubleshooeting easier. Something
I like is the EZ for CCMOS. You can now clear the CMOS without opening the
casing.
Other features include abit µGuru, OC Guru - AutoDrive™, One
Click BIOS Update, Auto-Detect Hardware Info, abit SoftMenu™, CPU
ThermalGuard™and abit's Silent OTES™ heatpipe technology
