New Biostar Tpower X58A can do +5Ghz Uncore

Before to test Vantage for F1OC contest , i tested max RAM / Uncore OC on the Biostar X58 Motherboard. Previous revision had some issues to push High memory frequency and uncore frequency.

Here are results of the new revision :

Biostar Tpower X58A (Bios june 2009)
Core i7 975 xe retail
3 X 2Gb G.skill PS 2000 CL9
2 stages caskade (-100°)

+ 5ghz Uncore

No , that come also from the motherboard.

:shocked::shocked::shocked: bio star :clap::clap::clap:

nice one thomas :up:
Great uncore on biostar mobo :clap:

and yeh u need first good IMC and after Mobo must handle high uncore
So you ready for vantage ....

Nice warm up! Congrats Thomas!:up:

An ickle bit under 5.2ghz with only 1.42volts is good going dude, should be nuts when you spank it under LN2 :up:

What about bclk?
5GHz rocks!

very nice Thomas

Biostar back in business ;)

Very nice... I was looking about this board, anything about max bclk?

extreme performance for a budget price ... BIOSTAR showing it's stregth :clap:

Thomas, does the X58A board have CAS B2B strobe or any other advanced settings in it's BIOS?

Good one from Biostar. Thanks for sharing Thomas.

not the best, but price performance wise biostar is definately nice... and they seem to be really committed to improving their stuff more and more... nice :toast:
biostar is almost like asrock was a few years ago, cheap and good clocking :D

Very amazing, but imho if you have good CPU and goor RAM kit (like yours) every topline motherboard is able to do suicide screenshot with 5GHz CPU uncore.
What about other score like superPI or 3D with this motherboard?

The biostar ratio price/performance is good for this product.

imho biostar is capable of high clocking and low price...but i always measured very low performance when compared to other (i.e. TP45 or similar model)

please try some 200x20/2000 run with this and other system and let's check if it's fast
:)

anyway good job Thomas !

sure it is a good MB ... if the prize drop down to 250-300$ maybe can be a good choose.
please run some bench @ 200x20 for check speed :D
