Biostar TPOWER I45 about 160~170 USD
thanks:)

[hiwa]

wow really nice cpu and very good fsb we have to change our commando and get this mobo ;);)

[zsamz_]

real nice Windwithme been waitin for the e8600
that biostar board lookin real good too:up:

[[XC] Synthetickiller]

Thanks for the review. That's a very nice FSB wall. :up: How's the vDroop? And did you have a chance to play around with the PCI-e jumpers? I haven't seen anything like that in forever. Reminds me of old school OCing in the late 90s.

Oh, I have to ask, what type of camera do you use? Those pictures are incredible.

I use NIKON D80:)

[mrcape]

Nice. However, is there any major difference between these parts and a DFI UT P35 or Commando with a top notch e8400? I can the the same out of mine since January.

Not trying to be negative, the board looks awesome, especially the price. But I want to go to e8600 / P45 only if it's a performance jump, or able to run the same high clocks with very low, stable voltage..

[quake6]

4.7ghz @ 1.5v awesome... Keep it up,nice work,like always

[Pt1t]

windwithme , Nice Board and E8600 :D

[Richard Dower]

I love those little glass animals you use in your reviews.

[Leeghoofd]

windwithme , Nice Board and E8600 :D

Your turn now Pt1t, think you or Cornerjack got some E8600 ES too... :D

[Monstru]

Nice to know that E8600 is finally closing in :)

[Hyperhorn]

:woot: E8600 comes and Commando will retire then :yepp:
I guess not, but will there be a Xeon-Version (like E3110 - E8400)?

[dinos22]

E8600 EeEEEEEK :D

[M3kk]

I want that CPU + MB Combo :D.

[***Deimos***]

Meh,

all your bases will belong to Intel when Bloomfield tears you a new one when you see its SP1M scores.

Ofcourse, if you don't care about 4/6 core behemoths, E8400/E3110 Wolfdale is like the most amazing Intel price/performance super overclocking CPU since E4300. Too bad Intel isn't making more chips on lower FSB so that we can have higher multiplier (aka E7200.. but with all the cache).

[Loser777]

Wow, that's pretty crazy...
Let's hope it's this good with the Quads... :up:

[bonzo_catalin]

Few colours on that PCB :D Christmas mobo .

[SeLecT]

Nice test!

I like the biostar! It cuold be my next board! :)

[Kovsk]

I love this Board :hump:

[zfactor]

wow very nice i think the p45 will be a really nice board.. and that e8600 ... where do i get one...lol....

[Movieman]

I use NIKON D80:)

Beautiful photography.:up:

[RealTelstar]

Whats the max freq that u can attain at 1.3v for this cpu?

[loc.o]

Great gear and pics as always WWM. Thanks for posting.

[4Qman]

Very impressive.

[metro.cl]

Forget the mobo, E8600!!!! new WR will fall soon :)

[zoob]

I'm hoping older X38 boards can clock this thing like hell also. 10x500 would be perfect :slobber:

[gundamit]

Jumping from 530fsb to 606? No holes in between?

In any case very exciting stuff. The CPU as well, but I'm more impressed with the mobo. Biostar ... its been a long time since I tried one. :D

[bhavv]

OMG I want your little duggies!!!!

But that is an amazing motherboard and CPU, it has completely blown my expectations for the P45 out of the water.

I would like to see how the other brands overclock as well, particularly the MSI P45 Platinum and Diamond with the huge cooler on the platinum and water on the diamond.

[mrcape]

Saw this board on the egg tonight along with 8 or so other P45 offerings.

Anyone going to jump on it?

[scooter.jay]

Nice to see most P45's hitting high fsb!:D

[Oliver]

Good work as usual wwm...

Good to see ur playing TPower I45 and e86...

Keep pushing it.

[systemviper]

Nice to know that E8600 is finally closing in :)


+100000 :up:

[clon22]

Awesome cpu!
and mobo too.
:D:D
