i presume the both go together...I would email one of the moderators to ask for assistance in your matter.
as for the bios, look at page one of the thread to see my bios images with settings to attain 550 FSB...you just scale down from there to attain a lower overclock.
remember, not all hardware are equal in performance or max overclock from user to user.

__________________
As for the OC I wanted, I started messing around and I could go no better than a 3.4Ghz OC or the board would just state that the OC failed and reset to previous settings (I set retries to only one). At that point my CPU temps were 47 Celsius at idle....and I was uncomfortable with that since I wasn't even under any load.
If it matters, I have version 5.1 of the board, and I read that may be an issue with overclocking?
Also, a bit off-topic for OC....has anyone had any issues with SATA Hard drives randomly disconnecting? I've had 3 brand new hard drives ( 2 WD's and 1 Seagate) and every single one of them have the same problem....just random resets and then the hard drive will not read. I have to switch SATA ports and then it reads fine again? I've tried BIOS reflash to no avail. Ohh, the board is a Tpower I45...I'll list hardware in sig shortly :)
Post to see if Sig works.

i cant pass 3400ghz with my zalman 9700nt. actually i had it @ 3560mhz,then i tried 3600mhz it BSOD. then i screwed up the settings, i didnt take a note so i couldnt get that clock rates again.
is there any suggestion?
i ordered Sunbeam CR-CCTF 120mm Core Contact Freezer, i may get better temp with that.

Not the case with EVGA, Foxconn, Gigabyte, Anus.

I just put my system together, and I speculate its the motherboard's fault that the system won't turn on. I have everything connected properly, is there anything I need to do with the jumpers for the system to turn on?

Without the motherboard the fans spin, optical works, and HDD spins. But when I connect the motherboard everything is dead including the powersupply.

The output on the TX750 is +3.3V@30A,+5V@28A,+12V@60A,-12V@0.8A,+5VSB@3.0A. So is the TX750 that much better than my current because its 60amps on a single rail? I don't mind buying this, its just I will have to put extra time to hiding the wires behind the tray:D. Also extra modding so the fan points down. I'll order this PSU this Friday so I can test it.

Hey guys, I finally bit-the-bullet & purchased this board along with a Q9550. My intention is to run the CPU at 4GHz 24/7.
I really need some suggestions on RAM to get to push this board upwards of what I'll need.
I'm currently looking into 2x OCZ Flex XLC DDR2 1150 (PC2 9200) Newegg Link .......... With this set, I have 3 concerns. The first being the room for 4 modules on this board. The second being able to run the four modules at the rated speed on this board. And lastly, how much of a PITA is it to put these under water (I'm aware that these same modules are available with a different heatsink that are cheaper).
Any thoughts?
Thanks!!!
I've had two sets of OCZ and never had a problem running them at their rated speed, timings & Vdimm. Both of mine were Platinum Rev. 2 DDR2-800. One will clock in the DDR2-980 range with 5's, DDR2-900 with 4's and the other doesn't like to boot over ~DDR2-825, so take that for what it's worth. IMHO, if you want to run 4Gb, get 2x2G at the same rated speed. Four sticks will put more of a strain on the MCH and (probably) won't overclock any better than 2x2G.
Short answer: Yes, but not b/c it's a single-rail (yours should be able to run as single-rail with the "TURBO" switch enabled), but because (IMHO) Corsair makes a superior PSU. If that doesn't happen to be your problem, you can rest assured you have gotten a great unit. It's not too bad hiding the wires if your case is decent. To wit. :up:Quote:

In fact, they clock better than my crucial ballistix, :( (only got them to 1000 cas 5 atm, havent pushed them yet though)

Alright I will try turbo mode when I get the chance to do so. But can it run turbo without any hitches if its on constant turbo? If it doesn't work I'll surely get the tx750.
Have you somebody information about when the Biostar launch new bios for this board? i need only soft setings for the Vcore and Vdimm

I'm handing this board off to my dad in a new build and I have a question.
I'm getting a checksum error after some reboots. It's retarded because the settings are 8 hours Blend Pr9 stable, OCCT stable and the mem is memtest86 stable for hours. If I do anything that requires medium or more processing and then reboot, I'll bet the checksum error F1 to enter or F2 to load defaults. If I enter and load the OC'd profile it will work again.
Any ideas? I want to use those settings, but I don't want anyone to have to deal with checksum errors. Is there some crap in the post routine that's causeing that, logo, oc retry etc?
EDIT - I've tried clearing cmos, rflashing via afudos etc. It's just something flaky in the boot up process. Is there a known issue? Another part of the symptom is that it's actually power cycling instead of a normal restart. And once it powers back up it either hangs or throws a checksum error. This thing is pissing me off. I have done a lot with this board, and now I just want to get rid of it. It's all in the bios this issue, I'm certain. I just need a solution if one exists, no matter how much of a kludge fest.
Anyone bought the Biostar Tpower I45 wtihin the last few weeks?
Just curious if the revision of the chipset is A2? can anyone check with CPUZ, see if they switched to A3? not that it matters much.
Mine I got 11/24/2008 hav'en seen any different Rev senseQuote:

Has anyone applied any "Aftermarket" Heatsinks on the NB or isn't it really necessary? I'm thinking of an HR-05 if the stock isn't effective enough to take care the heat.
I used both HR-05 and Duniek's NB pot on this board under LN2. Both worked great. I think the stock cooling is fine for normal gaming OC though, not a hot board unless you max NB voltage.Quote:

Do I really need to slipstream or set up a floppy drive for this thing with the drivers?
The drives are initialized & formatted.
By the way, I'm attempting to install Server 2003, which is a Technet version with a legit key.
As a side note; thank you guys for replying to the HS question. So far I've had her cranked a little bit & no heat issues, so I'll leave it be. (for now anyways ;) )
If your using XP then you either need to slipstream or use a floppy to load the drivers the F6 way. If your trying to load Vista, then the drivers can be loaded from Floppy, CD, USB drive, or whever.Quote:

What waterblocks are available for the mosfets and the northbridge?
Are there any tricks to getting this board running with the 1066mhz latch with high FSBs? My ram will run 1270mhz+ with the 5:6 ratio on the 1333mhz strap, but gives me errors when I attempt to drop the strap down to 1066mhz to get the next higher memory ratio. I tried it with a 505mhz FSB and was able to boot, but got memory errors left and right. I've got all of the Clock Gen settings at stock, and have my ram set to +300mv, NB set to +250mv, and FSB set to +175mv. These settings get me a 10 pass Linpak stable setup at PL8, but can't even make it into memtest86+ when dropping down to 1066. I tried bumping the PL up to 10 and even 11, but it didn't help.
--Matt
Edit: I tried setting DDR2 Enhance Mode to Disabled, and tried bumping up the voltage on the ram and the nb. Neither helped.
I believe the MCW30 is pretty universal for the NB. I don't know of any for the mosfets.Quote:

XP & Vista do it differently, that was my point..... XP is limited to using a floppy, where Vista can pull drivers from anything.Quote:

Even still, 500 was the limit and performance suffered heavily. I'm back on the 333 strap now :-)Quote:

I found a Waterblock for the Mosfets for the I45, its the koolance MV40 Nickel plated copper. Also for the people that have the stock heatpipe/heatsink removed. Whats the surface area of bottom of the mosfet heatsink? Since I need to buy a heat plate for it.

As for the bottom of the stock heatpipe/heatsink it's a (soft) brass material made for faster heat escape that builds up...
It's made out of the same material that you have in your house (water pipes) but there's a little harder
base made:yepp:

I know that I was wondering the surface are of the part that touches the mosfets:/. Thanks though!
Koolance have been making sexy blocks lately.
Well, I finally managed to get Server 2003 x64 installed by slipstreaming the drivers onto the install disk. Thanks for the additional suggestions guys!
I don't have all of the drivers installed yet, but I'll post my results once I get cranking the FSB up on this Q9550 :D
see if koolance is making some brass plates for the bottom..You should be alright you need heat to escape as quick as possible:yepp:Quote:

Holy crap DonNiger!
So far so good for me here.. I'm stable running at 3.0GHz until I can find time to play. I will report back once I get a decent stable OC on it.... Man, I love these G.Skill PI 1100's!!!!! Everything on auto right now & they're only 1.8v :o
hey everyone. I'm having a lot of trouble overclocking this board. I'm running 4x1GB of the new 2.0v ballistix and an E6400. I used to have a P5B-Deluxe and I had that figured out and I know my CPU can do 3.4GHZ at 1.375v with 2x1GB of D9's but I can't seem to get it to boot with this board besides at stock frequencies. I'm not familiar with P45's so I'm wondering what kind of voltages I need to pump through the board and what kind of subtimings I should be running on my ram to get the CPU back up to speed?
The i45 I got in the mail the other day had a piece of plastic covering the cpu socket as well. I wasn't lucky enough to get free vaseline, or custom soldered caps though. My last 2 boards suffered from exploding mosfet syndrome....hopefully this one has been vaccinated.
mattgmann, do not worry - mayby you will have more luck next time. No vaccination against explosions so far (exactly the same mosfets - 4 times 58A power mosfets- no chance to OC quad. Just have to figure out, how to keep them below 85c.
So were you able to RMA that f***ed up board they give you?Quote:

its been a few weeks and no reply
i heard that a lot of plants over there are on shutdown/forced leave due to the recession
Yea man....ive waited 4 weeks for stock down here in Johannesburg, South Africa... and im still waiting. I plan on buying the DFI DK PLUS P45.....coz i cant get the UT which is a :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing bummer.
BIOSTAR YOU GUYS SUCK A$$$$$$
same thing here in malaysia for DFI p45 dk T2RS +
no stock too
thats why im gonna buy rampage formula soon :P

guys someone has tested the last bios beta ? ====> P45AAB03
the info about that version is =
BIOS for TPower I45
Release Date 2008/11/03
Update Description:
1. Unknown changes.
i need know what mean UNKNOWN CHANGES and of course if anyone has tested your experience with this bios.
if someone have curious here the link ===> http://www.lejabeach.com/Biostar/TPI45/P45AAB03.rar
Well, my board seems to have randomly died. It rebooted to a blank screen in the middle of a q3a run on the longest yard and now only displays "d2" on the double 7-segment display. I'm a little surprised, since I've not touched any settings and it has been running the same settings for quite a while. Any ideas? I tried the recovery procedure, but it never attempts to read the bios from the drive. This code apparently means that there are issues reading the boot block of the bios :-/
--Matt
I'm not sure wth happened, but my CPU and the mobo both ended up being toast. The e8600 won't boot on my other system, and the TPower won't boot with my spare e6750. I even picked up another board from microcenter and tried the bios from it on my board, no go. Something tragic happened, not sure what. It couldn't have been power related, since the system is powered via a UPS. I guess these things will happen from time to time when components are under so much stress so far beyond their design specs. I picked up a phenom II yesterday. We'll see how much luck I have with that.Quote:

Im having a bad time trying to get some crucial memories to work right on the tpower i45.
The memories: 4GB kit (2GBx2), 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-8500 memory module
With a gigabyte ep35 ds3r i was able to do this:
-1066mhz 6-6-6-18 1.8v
http://thumbnails7.imagebam.com/2784/0dc79027839882.gif
-1125mhz 6-6-6-18 1.9v
http://thumbnails16.imagebam.com/278...d327839883.gif
On the tpower i45, i cant manage them to run even at 950mhz 6-6-6-18 stable, no matter the vdimm. Neither at 1066mhz 7-7-7-24 :( i tried with two different bios
any ideas? :confused:
P.D.: flashed to the newest beta bios, and raised tWTR, tRRD, tRTP, and now it works really well :D :up:
Thanks Ace! Following your settings I managed to get an EO Q9550 to 4275.8Mhz @ 503 x8.5 w/1.512 Vcore.....:)
CPU-Z Validation .....If I get the hang of this AMI Bios, might push her higher.
Bought some 9 layer OCZ Flex DDR2 1150, but had to switch to Mushkin 996580 to get it to boot...:(
Just dicovered the possibility to have the exact voltage needed. It is poosible to chanege the core vid manualy :) And +/- 0,25 or 0,75v can make the difference :yepp:
Btw, that MB has a huge vdrop if quad used - just testing QX6700@3,5Ghz. Idle 1,326, load (100% load) 1,296 :eek:
very good!:up:Quote:

got my DFI x48 back and i was testing it to see if it posted 8.8. like this guy claimed and it did but i also found it had a pent pin socket.
Anyway i took the E6400 out of my dads machine wich has the biostar board and then i put the processor in the DFI borard. Now the biostar post FF, thats it. No beeps, nothing. I checked all plugs and then remounted cpu and ram still nothing. I Did not even touch the graphics or anything else besides proc.
what the heck is this boards problem? i have had SO many issues with it.
This board really can not be dead i can not afford to have this machine down, it is VERY important it works right now.
Did you clear the cmos after you switched parts?
