Although, I still dont know whether to get 2 or 4 gb....
Im really not sure, partly coz Im not sure what CPU i will be getting, wolfdale/yorkfield yes, (i7 is too much), but I dont know what one, all depends on if I can find one for cheaper, in a sale or whatever....
By the way, im not sure about vista yet, and why wont i be able to get past 3.5 on 32 bit? with which RAM/cpu???
Thanks for all your help.
have you tried clearing CMOS with the battery out for about 5 minutes...also, do not forget to pull the power cord to the PSU and push the power button to unload the caps.Quote:

I say for this board get a wolfdale like E8500 or E8600 and 2x2GB or Gskill or dominators.Quote:

Im looking at these: (having read around a little)

Any other reccomendations?
I have been looking at the e8500, ( the e8600 is another £40 or so, and I didnt think it was worth it, considering im only on air cooling, and it will be my second overclock, :D)
Thanks
Can someone help me out with setting to get my Q9450 to 8x500. Right now Im 3d stable at 475x8. My settings are
CPU +.150
DDR +.300
Chipset +.275
FSB .250
GTL Ref
.63

Then the other clocks are fir cpu and mch.

spend that type of money over seas for the same..I can get for $44.99 &
free shipping.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231145
but shipping is what cost more to ship over seas and philbrown23 is right
on a 32bit operational sytem it will only see 3.5gbs now if you had Windows
Xp Professional 64bit it will see all your ram..
I can't agree on the E8500 I would say the E8400 reasoningQuote:

is Price differents why should you pay $29 or $30 more for

but.. i payed $149.99 + taxs at mico center for mine.
this newegg link below Compares them in price
and $29 or $30 could be a (Burner or something else)

Hi,
a little development, my friend is looking at buying some new RAM, (PC6400), and I found these:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/143844
Which I think is a great deal, and so was wondering, should I get a set aswell, rather than the G.Skills,
And, a little more on topic, would you reccomend the HP, or the proper version?, Is it worth the extra £30...?
Thanks

DDR2-1100 is fine as well, but I don't have a SS of it unfortunately. That's as high as it'll go with 5's & 2.1v. I played around and managed DDR2-1128 at the same Vdimm but it took 6-7-7-24 to do it. Haven't tried over 2.1v yet, but we all know 2x2G don't OC all that well.
GueD'S - there must be something else. I could run my OCZ KIT @ 650 Mhz - before that mobo, my (their) record was 640 Mhz.
And that mobo is holding the FSB WR - because the lowest multy is 1:1 and the record is 740+ Mhz, ......
Yes, but i'm complaining about mem freq. my crucial ballistix PC8500 can do 1400FSb in older mobo (P5K Deluxe) and didnt even boot with biostar, and corsair dominators run below default specs and when running at default gets instabilities without touching mobos settings. Here i could do 533 in mobo fsb but mems voltages had to be very high (didnt remember nunmber now) to achieve that, and mobos voltages almost at default. All due to the lowest multi 1:1 if we have a lower multi we could raise mobo's fsb easily, or a better mem compatibilitie. I think the mobo's fsb could be better (higher) if it haven't these issues with mems.Quote:

i could not get my corsair dominators at specs either...i got to 1100 mhz instead of 1142 mhz...BUT...it was very similar to what i got on the Abit IP 35 Pro board...on that board, i maxed out around 1086 mhz...al ot has to do with how much voltage you are willing to dump on your hardware.Quote:

I think this mobo does have issues running some brands of memory. My newer revision Reapers run fine but my HyperX and Patriot Viper don't like running high frequencies on this board. I think my Cell Shocks are okay but I'll need to run more tests. I think I've seen "philbrown23" do some screenshots in this thread with the same model Cell Shocks.Quote:

I think what most of us are expecting from a newer version of official bios release is more memories compatibilitie, and an option to raise mobo's fsb keeping the mem freq, like 600 fsb with mems in 500, so we can run mems with poor specs and still get more juice from mobo, till now and with good mems we can't raise mobo's fsb because mem issues, as said, even with some brands that we have sure that run at good freqs we are having trouble. An exemple of it is my ballistix PC8500 kit, i never boot at least one unique time just to tell it run on this mobo, and i saw many people with the same kit running smooth, who can explain it??? New optimized bios NOW!! That's a chance Biostar is missing to raise its reputation and keeping the situation like this, only make them loose it.
Sorry about my english
You can't go lower than 1:1 on an Intel chipset. That's not a Biostar issue, that's on any board.
GueD's - you need 600 + power pack :up:

No, i need compatibilitie, i have 2 kits crucial ballistix non tracer 4GB (2x1GB x2) that can do 700Mhz in Asus P5k Deluxe but can't even boot at specs with biostar, just it. :)Quote:

Edit: I found the setting in the BIOS under SB, and HDA is set to "enabled" yet still no audio device is found in Windows after installing the drivers :mad:
make sure you are using the correct rear panel sound output port for your speakers...i presume you are using dual speaker system so you want to use the light green port...refer to page 5 of your manual, section "1.4."Quote:

I picked up a new cpu on Black Friday. It looks like it can do around 500x9 with +0.150v vcore. Today I was doing some initial exploration with +0.250v vcore. I usually start testing chips on the TPower which makes for a more apples to apples comparison since it was my first P45/Wolfdale combo. (I'm using the Xigmatek with OCZ PC2-8500)

anyway of removing the 4870 and insert some other type video card just to see if the 4870 is cutting out the board sound card because of IRQ conflicts?Quote:

New version of Tpower2 released today (well, yesterday). Thanks for pointing that out Lv!
What improvements do the new rev have over the old? Doesn't seem to be listed in the biostar webby

what?! i was planning on getting this board.. now that automatic shutdown is making me think twice. Is there anyway to rectify the problem?
That automatic shut down applies only if you start that program and you are subzero, otherwize no problems.Quote:

In a nutshell anytime i reach a "stable" overclock with ibt ( i conclude this by passing 100 times with maximum stress on vista 64) then when i unplugg my power supply and wait several seconds then replug, then i re test with the exact same configurations i end up failing ibt.
My first settings were
fsb 502
ddr is at 503 frequency 5,5,5,15
.200 cpu voltage
.250 ddr voltage (running gskill pc-8500) enough to give it 2.1 voltage
.275 motherboard voltage
.275 fsb voltage
core ref voltage were both at .63
cpu pll at 1.6
everything else on auto.
I tested this configuration and it was 100 percent stable. i tested ibt and it passed 30, 50, and two 100 tests. Then when i unplug my power supply and re test, my cpu requires my fsb voltage to be stable. I have so far risen my fsb voltage to .325 and my motherboard voltage to .300. Cause each time i make a small raise and test i become stable, but whenever i unplug and re test i have to do something different in my bios to make it stable. Not sure whats the problem.
Anyone heard about this before?
Why are unplugging it anyway?Quote:

i think it is a wee-bit to expensive (not necessarily a waste of money) to upgrade...for me, i do not play games so it is nuts & bolts operation for me..i mean: i have it all with the IP35 and and a QX9650...why spend a good amount of money on a low to maybe a slightly better bump in overall speed!:shrug:
Another negative.
Biostar never update their bios :(.

I've got this board now and i really dont like the voltage increments at all...the jump between them is too much.,.. seriously .300 to 400 wtf.
I was able to run less than 1.5v for 570fsb on my DFI...this one im there and struggle to even get 550fsb into windows....
DFI FTW, wish i could have gotten another one...

Hi all..Just got one of these based on this thread and Ive had 27 blue screens in two days trying to LOAD XP !!
It just wont load.
Blue screens vary from drivers, ram to irql or something not equal to some thing else..
Ive changed from 3.4G Pentium D to Q6600 , ram from 1G to 4g`s, ddr2- 667 to ddr2-800 , Corsair to teamXtreme`s..Upped voltages etc etc and still no go.
Im now RMA,ing the board thinking the problem may be with the board..
Anyone shed some light on this for me please?
Found a Googled topic of something similar where the problem was bad soldering on the board..
Cheers from Africa.
Try playing with the GTL's and also u need to put the CPU shew to 200

any ideas guys?
i cant go more than 450x9
i tried 500x8 and it wouldnt save the setting i did
I have i of these boards coming that I got in the for sale section. I am going to have to read through this thread for sure. Going to set it up as cruncher.
Is there a new rev out by Biostar? I am asking because when I had mine (rev 5.1), there was no problem at all to boot and run SPi 32M @ 620 FSB. I didn't try Orthos (that was not my 24/7 PC). But at this moment, members are already have problems with 450+ FSB!
im doing 500x8 just fine here
535x8.5 no problem here.
looks like you are doing some what better now with the FSB..right?Quote:

On the other hand, it's pretty damn easy to setup a good OC for 24/7. I literally beat the crap out of this board this summer freezing it to an ice block during 8 hour sessions many times, and it still clocks like day one. Maybe I go a lucky board, but I don't know, I think it's pretty awesome. My other two favorite boards in the rotation are the Rampage Extreme and the DFI LP UT P35 T2R, both of which are great. The vcore grnularity is my only gripe but it's not a deal killer. I would not waste my time to bench DDR2 Core2 on any other board with LN2.
Hi five biostar.
