Hello,
In our new build, we're going to have chipboard inside the plasterboard in the interior walls.
How much load can be screwed into these? Will we be able to avoid plugs and mollys and completely avoid searching for studs?
Best regards,
Fredrik

It's going to be really nice. I'm really tired of damaging the walls with Mollys. Additionally, it should provide good sound insulation. Apparently better than mineral wool.
Yes, on the positive side is also the soundproofing. 
And the feeling of a much more solid wall if/when you bump into the wall a bit.
Aren't OSB boards preferred over chipboard, due to price and load-bearing capacity?
The downside, however, is those damn splinters, from the OSB.

Maybe check with Götenehus. When we said we wanted something more stable (like råspont) in the interior walls, they immediately suggested chipboard. We didn't question it, but maybe OSB is better?

Real chipboard is just as good as plywood. Unfortunately, there's a lot of poor-quality chipboard on the market. However, it's important to pre-drill to get maximum grip/minimal damage to the material. If you have a 4mm screw, drill with a 2mm bit. Also, take the opportunity to glue the chipboard to the studs, so you get a really solid wall. Use winter glue.

That's probably the problem. Myself, I have a carpenter and his friend the home contractor to help with the selection, in this case Bygg-Elit.MathiasS said:
"Very cheap" can indeed be a clue on how to avoid cheap chipboard.
Funny that this came up (again...), I'm actually considering the same solution since my darling suggested that I convert the garage into a workshop. And since I want to do a bit of everything in my playhouse, I want some decent flame/fire protection, i.e., plasterboard on the outside. I initially thought of using chipboard but am now leaning towards OSB, the question is just what board thickness is required. It involves shelves and cabinets, tool boards, etc., that are quite heavy and need to go up on the walls. Does anyone have any good tips?

would probably go for the regular 11 mm as I suspect that odd thicker boards will be much more expensive. But please check the price and post it on the forum. Could be interesting to know what thicker osb costs.
Then for the really heavy items, you'll have to find the studs.

To, as usual, be a bit contrary I have only placed plasterboard and where I plan to hang things, I intend to install regular console rails on the studs, i.e., cc60, and then attach the interior to the console rails instead.

I went shopping at B****us and was going to buy some OSB sheets. But they were out of stock and backordered with their supplier, so it would take an unknown amount of time before they arrived.
But they had 11 mm ungraded construction plywood, in other words, ugly-plyfa. It was noticeable because there were many large knots and many sheets had some cracks in the outer layer. But it should do well enough to have behind drywall and the like, right? They charged 10:- less per sheet than they usually do for 11 mm OSB.
