 September 12, 2007 –Virtual-Hideout gives the IP35 Pro "Editor's Choice", and the reviewer is impressed by the performance and overclockability. The abit IP35 Pro is based on Intel's P35 chipset and supports Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme/Quad/Duo & Pentium® Dual Core processors. In addition to the latest 65nm and the upcoming 45nm multi-core CPUs, supporting Intel's SpeedStep Technology (EIST), the IP35 Pro offers even more advanced energy efficiency. Moreover, with the 100% Japanese made Solid State Capacitors and abit's Silent OTES™ heatpipe technology, the IP35 Pro provides best stability and keeps your motherboard cool and quiet.
"First, the overall layout is very easy to work with, and I didn't have any real issues with any of the cables or components. The heatpipe cooler for the chipset worked extremely well, as I didn't notice any significant heat on any of the heatsinks."
Overclocking is not a dream with the µGuru software anymore. The abit IP35 Pro is truly user-friendly especially with the µGuru technology. The reviewer gives great compliments to abit's µGuru technology:
 "The µGURU Windows-based software utility was extremely easy to use, and just every option in the BIOS could be adjusted through the Windows-based utility."
"Any change made was tested before being applied to the system, which eliminated a lot of system crashes. If the system did crash and the BIOS needed to be reset, a simple switch on the rear I/O panel gets cycled and the BIOS is reset to the factory default."
In addition to the advantage of the µGuru and external CCMOS switch, surface mount power and reset switches and the onboard POST Code Display for the BIOS also make it more convenient for overclockers. With all these features and performance, Virtual-Hideout reviewers conclude:
"They should call the IP35 Pro Off the Charts and not Off Limits. By all means, if you can afford to get one of these, then do so. The µGuru overclocking software was extremely user friendly, with plenty of voltage adjustments to suit anybody's needs."
