*** Biostar P35 review on OCM *** (http://www.overclocking-masters.com/articlesocm.php?id=57&p=1)


It s good for one of the cheapest P35 motherboard :D

[fireice2]

wow! nice results man! $100 mobo's beating the cr*p out of more expensive ones. :D hehehe

[x3ro]

What kind of fsb speeds will most of those Biostar TP35D2-A7 boards do without mods?

ow ok so the speeds u reached with it is just with a full stock retail board?

now Pt1t is showing his results.. :)

very very nice board.. :)

:woot:

[Gautam]

Awesome awesome results with a retail chip and a budget board. :clap: That's the sorta stuff I love to see.

[Solarfall]

really excellent scores on such cheap board :toast:

Great!!! Awesome results :toast:

BTW the board is out of breath to show the temp :D

Nice review and results as always. The hw monitor is :ROTF:

[Morais]

Very nice budget mobo.Great results dude

[SoF]

nice result there. insulation around the socket looks easy - is the area around it totally free of parts?
that would be another good point for this board as I hate most ones with condensors and resistors and whatever around the socket :/

Hi Pt1t,

How many volts can give this motherboard to cpu and memories?

Thanks

[Pt1t]

Hi Pt1t,

Thanks

2.6v for Dimm and 2.15v for cpu :D

2.6v for Dimm and 2.15v for cpu :D

Wow.. thank you.. very good for a 100$ motherboard :D

Sorry.. can you tell me if this motherboard drop too much? how much does it drop? (sorry for my bad english :cool: )

Thank you very much, man :)

:up:

[ziddey]

what vmch/vtt/vsb/vich you using?? i'm guessing new bios furthered fsb average for most users?? I remember when the board first came out, most people were topping around the 500fsb mark.

subtimings fixed yet or still a problem? any way to adjust the performance level from bios?

[Darkmaster]

Another question.. can you tell me if it is possible to change multiplier? (our team has got an X6800...)

[railmeat]

wow! nice results man! $100 mobo's beating the cr*p out of more expensive ones. :D hehehe

biostar use solid caps and bios that are simple to use(4 voltages),unlike the dfi rd600 which is crazy(10+ voltages).i would never buy another "top"name brand board again after trying em all threw the years. im currently using my biostar 965pt and there simply mind blowing for anyone who wants hi fsb for tops $120.asus,dfi,gigabyte,msi are all way to much money and always seem lately to have somthing buggy with them and there new mobos needing new bios,this mod,that mod for 400-500fsb attempts.the biostars are screamers right out of the box period.
AMAZING but pretty typical of biostar and there p965\p35 mobos they bring to us without the stupid price tags others feel they must charge with average performance,thanks biostar!!

biostar is foxconn btw...,.,.,

i bought 3 biostar 965pts for $50 each open box at newegg.2 sitting nice and comfy in my closet and flashed with newest bios after being tested. 3 mobos $150,rofl!?1?!?! might sell 1...pm


AMAZING OVERCLOCK btw.....

[Pt1t]

Another question.. can you tell me if it is possible to change multiplier? (our team has got an X6800...)

Yes it is possible.

Fsb is also good on a Quad Core Watercooled

Wich Board , The TP35D2 or P965 ?

Because to Reach Higher FSB than 500 mhz , you 'll have The CPU without FSB Wall @ 500 mhz .

vFSB and Vmch are Good in Auto for 500mhz :)

[Darkmaster]

Thank you for response..! You are great pt1t !!

Do you know some vmod for this motherboard? Or pencil mod?
Can you set all memories timings on this mobo?

I think it will be my new motherboard for little benchmarks session :D

[ziddey]

cool. it was the p35 variant of the board. i believe rebel's haven did a review of it among others when it first came out and ended around 500.

too many choices. awesome results

[berk]

I'd like to see other users results.

[natedog420]

i have one on the way so will tell ya soon what i come up with. i have an e6300 that can do 500+. i have crucial tracer pc8000s on the way to so i will post as soon as i get everything going. do you think i might be able to uninstall the 965 drivers from the tforce 965pt and install the p35 drivers and be fine?

edit: ahhhhh i hate this i had to order a 6550. i couldnt help myself so hopefully its G0 and it makes a good setup. my setup now will be for sale.

[Pt1t]

heres a quick boot at 500fsb. im on water and have a fan on northbridge heatsink. only been up and runnin like 15 minutes so lots more to come. i will keep you guys posted and will post more pics. im happy everything is runnin great. :D :) :up:

:toast:

edit: 520 at 1.36 vcore, nb 1.58 volts, fsb 1.35 volts, memory 2.14 volts. very happy lol. cpu z read the right vcore.

[jabski]

looks nice. May have to pick up one of these boards :)

[giraffen]

Holy:banana::banana::banana::banana:, That´s a nice board for about 100$

[Hutch]

Mine arrives tomorrow! I can't wait!

[redratamd]

Mine arrives today.
I hope for vmodds for the next week.:D
And test with mobo my cpus.

[natedog420]

i can boot at 522fsb at 1.36 vcore and im super pi stable and a few other benchmarks i can do. but not 100% stable and i can not boot 523fsb i will keep tryin to figure it out. very nice board so far with 500fsb 100% stable at 1.34 vcore and havent tried higher for 100% stable yet but will. everybody who gets this board for 100 bucks will be very very happy. i know i am and its a joy to see high fsb:D .


:toast:

EDIT: ok my ram can go 570+ and i dropped multi to 6 but still only 522fsb boots and not 523fsb. could somebody tell me what it could be. either board or cpu wall. im hoping board but not sure. havent tried more than 1.52 vcore but im not scared to push it a lot higher.

awsome scores there .

Good job seems you found yourself a good one neighbour.

Nice board you have. I almost just bought one but seem like a few lately have had some problems with them. Would like to see a few more results on this mb from different guys here.

Any air results? Thanks:up:

Yet another Biostar board that is great but not for sale in AU :( :down:

Very nice clocks and performance for a value board.

[Spawne32]

Does any one have any information on bios updates for this board? Im having some issues overclocking because of my DDR2-800 topping out :/ it doesnt have much in the way of options to reduce the ram speed

[3oh6]

its P35...no memory dividers, just ratios which means 1:1 is the lowest it goes. this isn't a motherboard limitation, its the chipset.

on a side note, the 'higher-end' version TP35D3-A7 Deluxe i have is pretty much a waste of time. i may just have a bad sample but this one has given me nothing but trouble. vCORE reverts back to default after a reboot 75% of the time, memory dividers not working, 440ish FSB limit (my CPU does 560 on every other motherboard with ease), memory clocking only to DDR1400 regardless of voltage and looser timings...such a mess. good to see the DDR2 version kickin some butt and taking names.

nice results on this budget board Pt1t :up:

[Spawne32]

i just swapped my DS3 out for the tests and put the biostar in my main rig, i was wondering is there any utilities programs or bios updates from biostar?

[TEDY]

please post more pics of board and box ;)

yes it is a pretty good board for the price. it will be going under ln2 hopefully in the next coming weeks if everything goes right. in the process of making a pot:).

no , unmodded. And with this 3 power phase board.

Is there any way to flash bios without floopy? Im asking because i dont have any floopy drive on my PC? Maybe Winflash??? Thnx for the answers:)

[krompirusa]

Is there any way to flash bios with Award BIOS flashing utility?? Im still without floopy drive:(

[Kasparz]

I always said that Tforce boards are great clockers for great price. Well, this is no exception. Only shame that we have Biostar P35 budget board available locally, not Tforce.

[krompirusa]

Is it possible that cpu-z,bios and t-utillity hardware show me wrong CPU voltage, becouse when they show 1.52v i mesured 1.48 with multimeter? thnx for the answers

Yes it is possbile. On a lot of mobo , it s beter to mesure it :D

[krompirusa]

I know that:up: And it was strange to me why my CPU is not stable 3.6ghz with 1.52v ( normali i need 1.49-1.5v), then i messured with multimeter and it was 1.47-1.48v . Now in windows i read 1.54v , with multimeter 1.49-1.5v and its rock stable 515x7 for 24/7 use.I like this mobo:up: .Btw my old ST ddr2 is overclocking great on this mobo.I try it in p5b-dlx, Commando, Quad gt, ip35-e and ip35pro and they never score 1200 mhz even in dreams.On this mobo they fly for the first time 1200mhz cas5:cool: .

i managed to reach 580ish fsb with E6600 under Cascade... anyway, anyone have the vdroop mod? on windows idle i got 1.79v on cpuz, e6600 on 4400mhz then i ran orthos priority 9 for 10mins, vcore drop to 1.712v.
