I know i know another Biostar thread LOL
but what can you say when this board is that good
no mods on my board and FSB limit of 611MHz for 32M SuperPi runs on CAS4 but i did do some superpi tests at 5.8GHz-5.9GHz tonight
i didn't want to kill anything so i stopped the session as condensation was really starting to get a bit much for me.....i will give me my best to make it stable at 5.9GHz for some 8M and 32M runs...i know i can do it damn it lol
Test Configuration:
Biostar TPower P45 board
***1.88vcore, 2.68vdimm, 1.69vMCH, 1.47vFSB***
Intel Core2 Duo E8500 Q740A497
2GB DDR2 PC10000 Corsair DOMINATORS (645MHz 1:1 4-4-4-8 timings)
PCI GFX Card MX200
620W Corsair PSU
Stock heatsink on NB (LN2 cooled with small pours)
kingpin F1 Extreme Edition Solid copper CPU LN2 Pot
Big mamma 35L LN2 Dewar
160GB PATA
Windows XP Pro 32bit SP3
I was FSB limited here.........and condensation kicked in when i figured out how to run 1.92vcore and -140C lol
this CPU is a monster.......i need a board that can give me stable 631MHz FSB so that i can bench it at 6GHz rofl

here is my settings template i usually use and then adapt it to whatever cooling i am using....so it would be slightly different for the above run if you know what i mean
