any body think I could hit 366/7 FSB on decent volts for 24/7 use(long term - several years with any luck) I am hoping to push an e6600 to 3.3GHz so just looking at my options

rite now i'm at 390x9 on my e6600 steppin 6.. it's not stable but at least can boot.

btw, why i cant find cpu multiplier in the bios? i'm using Stilt mod bios...

I think the ds3 and ds4 are @ 9 x 400 @ they`re max. We need another great bios :) . My ds3 rocks @ 9 x 400, If I can do 9 x 450 I`m happy :) .
08-17-2006, 03:05 PM
irenic

on my dq6 i can do 367, ds4 360. so for me 390 (so far) is consider good already :D

but where is the multiplier? i wanna do 400x8 for daily use! :(

Absolutely nowhere in the USA. In the other thread we have found a couple places in Germany that are actually taking orders for it.

I called Biostar-USA in CA last week and they have no ETA on a US release.

Lucky.

Are you using the memory in your sig? I have read through the threads and I am worried a bit about my OCZ 800 Gold and this board, I believe it will boot but hopefully its not flakey like the other boards.

I really don't mind waiting a bit longer, cause that will just force me to wait and get a better deal on an E6600 as well; but it would be nice to see an ETA for US release.

well i'm using mushkin ddr2 800. never have problem during boot either in gigabyte or this biostar.. and it is capable of doing 1088mhz @ 5-6-5-15 2.2vdimm..

btw i just update my sig :D

Somebody needs to lose their job over that. I mean based on the few results we have its a little early to make a solid statement about the board, but if results like this continue, Biostar is missing out on the business of all the people fed up with dealing with garbage boards. Hell there isn't really even a board yet that will work 100% flawlessly right out of the box (shipped BIOS) WITHOUT adding overclocking to the mix.
08-17-2006, 07:47 PM
metro.cl

the rep said the mobo is an awsome overclocker, keep in mind that new bios is always a must for overclockers, for example DFI

i dont mind flashing another bios to get max OC

I just spoke with Biostar sales department in the US. I asked them about availability of this motherboard. He stated that the motherboards are en route and should be available for purchase in 10 days.

Feel free to call for yourself and confirm (626) 581 1055.

yeah just let others be the guinea pigs lol.
if you look above these guys aint getting close to 400mhz FSB
maybe its just one or two guys but still..

we'll have to wait and see what happens.

spekaing of prices did you guys see those a$$holes at newegg raised the price of the P5W DH another 10 bucks. its now 259.99 it was 249.99

375 fsb ? that`s nog realy high.... :( ...

Did you used memset and setfsb to see what latency`s are the best for your mem ? p965 chipset is very buggy,

I could not go higher than 9 x 400 on my ds3 and with memset and setfsb, I knew what the ideal settings were for my mem, changed them in de the bios and voila

Thanks for your update.

on our mainboard because they use different memory chip...

Got my board today.

Results so far are not too bad. I can run up to 440MHz FSB with boxed air (multi 7x)

With a single-stager my max. FSB rises to 480~482MHz.

http://home.hccnet.nl/J_Bongers/P965/480.JPG

Concidered that my 200 euro Asus P5B Deluxe does 455MHz FSB boxed air and 490MHz FSB with SS then this 130 euro Biostar isn't bad at all :)

I have some severe problems with that VIA chip and my Pioneer DVD writer, so can't install windows right now. Is it possible to use IDE --> Sata convertor for a DVD burner ? And also this board doesn't boot with PC2-3200 sticks. I have 2x512mb PC3200 fatbody's doing 500mhz 4-3-2-8 easy but they don't boot. My AENEON PC2-4200 sticks died so can't use them either. Still i'm happy with this board because it does boot at 370 with my dead AENEON so i'm past that stupid wall on my 975X/G infinity. When I get the DVD writer working and another set of mem i'll defently let you know how this board goes !!

and is that all the baord can do ? is that the highest stable settings you can do ?
what about running the ram at 1000mhz ?
what about running the FSB way high..
eh ? eh ?

the screenshot doesnt tell anyone anything.

bought here in Malaysia.

highest benchable 1m 3.8ghz
my ram need vdimm2.4v to run at 1000mhz mobo max only 2.2vdimm
anyway vdimm mod coming soon
can't run too high fsb coz the bios doesn't have cpu ratio so stuck at 9x

this mobo definitely better than my ex-ds3 coz i have no problem booting my e6600 over 400fsb x9,intel raid,built in power/reset button,cmos reloaded & US$25 cheaper than DS3.
bad-vdimm 2.2v only & no cpu ratio

this is another screenshot dropping cpu ratio using crystalcpuid :

Well I have a problem again, my board mem combination doesn't like 1:1. I only can get 420mhz FSB :stick: I'll need 2,6Vdimm for that. But strange thing is that the memory isn't exactly the problem, in other divider it can reach 420 on 2,2V but on 1:1 I need 2,6Vdimm for it and it's strange too because if I change from 4-3-2-8 to 4-4-4-8 it doesn't change max FSB at all while Vdimm defently does. So pretty weird but I might wanna try other memories because I think it's the memories flashed SPD which is the problem.

Guys,
Is there a working ClockGen for the TForce P965 Deluxe mobo?
I've tried the 1.0.4.8 but it doesn't seem to work. :rolleyes:

Just got this mobo today and currently priming my little E6300 at 3GHz... stock vcore and stock cooler of cause... Heck, all the voltages were left stock. Except for the RAMs, which got the 2.2VDIMM jumper treatment (actual 2.1V).

The NB heatsink gets a litte warm at 429FSB, but considering that I didn't raise the chipset volt, it is not too hot. In fact, its just warm to touch. I have a 120mm case fan facing towards the mobo though. But the MOSFETs are starting to warm up a little. Maybe those fellas need some heatsinks on them. The board has the mounting ready for a PWM heatsink.

Cheers! :toast:

I guess it has to be custom made...
Any idea on the ClockGen for this board?
I seriously need one. Limited to 472FSB here... :slapass:
Cooling the NB with TR HR-05 and the CPU is cooled by Ultra-90.
Tried everything... even giving 1.55Vcore.
I doubt my RAM is limiting me because I'm running the PC2-8000 VX2. It does 500MHz at CL4 with 2.3V... Yeah, got the VDIMM mod done. Feeding 2.3V to the sticks...

With the VDIMM mod, the VDIMM can go up to 2.6V easily. It can go further though (up to 3V!)...just don't dare to kill my VX2 yet! :nono:

^Btw, it should read like this "The board has the mounting ready for PWM heatsink" :P

Edit: Flashed to The Stilt's modded BIOS and currently doing Memtest at 3.4GHz - 485FSB!

Sigh... I still couldn't get past 472FSB with my E6300.
Managed to post at 486FSB a couple of times but usually crashes at memtest!
My CPU does 3.3GHz 472FSB at 1.424V prime stable, so I doubt my CPU is holding me. Anyhow, I couldn't maxout my CPU because of this motherboard... or perhaps it has already maxed? Tried 1.5V to 1.6V also can't go over 472FSB.

My RAMs are rated at 500MHz.. so not a problem either. NB is cooled by TR HR-05 and SI-120 on the CPU. Feeding a 700W FSP PSU to it... so everything is ready for over 500FSB. I guess its the board... :(

Any idea if this board dislikes OCZ (D9) RAMs? Will try some HyperX later (Elpida ICs)...

Currently running 8x360 (1.3625V) 1:1 CAS 3-4-4-9 (2.2V) with ease, but everything above that doesen´t boot. Tried everything from 361 to 450... all voltages, CAS 6-7-7-20... only result is machine booting up by it self, LED1 shuts off (LED2 on) and two long beeps. After that another boot and the board is at stock FSB :/

LED1 off / LED2 on = VGA error, but changing to Radeon X300SE didn´t help, so it´s probably memory related. I haven´t tried change all memory latencies... four lowest options are at AUTO setting. Should I change them too? Or does someone have any other ideas cause I´m sure running out...

I´m using 8/03 bios modded by The Stilt.

As the board is not as yet available in the USA, so they are looking for someone that can recover from a bad flash to test the BIOS. The modder has a long track record of successful mods, so it should be OK..... Anyone?

You tested the Official 914, not the Mod 914. But the 914 doesn't have the NB/SB voltage setting? Is that what I read? That sucks if true...

Anyone figured out a vcore mod yet?

The 1,8000v option in the bios isn't enough for me (gives ~1,71v DMM)
I need up to 1,85v for cascade testing of my CPU so a vcore mod is necessary.

Hey PC Mod, have you heard anything as to why it isn't available in the states?

Is 2.2 reg max V on this puppy?

Yup... I've posted the reason in my TForce P965 DLX review. Read up the conclusion part... the reason behind has something to do with chipset stock limitation.

Nice review. Thanks.

PT should be much cheaper I would presume. Any idea what the main differences are.

Also the easy VDimm mod should ease the mem options...

This was mainly because the Deluxe version utilizes ICH8R SB chipset whereas the non-Deluxe versions utilizes the plain ICH8 (non-R) SB chipset. Other than that, the bundled accessories will be reduced on the non-Deluxe versions.

Apparently, the non-Deluxe versions supports up to 8GB physical memory. Deluxe versions supports 4GB max only...
Looking at the pictures on the product pages, the PT version looks to have 4 SATA ports only...but the P965 (non-DLX) seems to have 6 SATA ports as seen on the picture. However, both have only 4 SATA listed on their specs.

They have the worst website.

Can't even see the products. No large images whatsoever. The pt looks a tad different than the reg 965... tiny pic so can't tell.

Thanks a bunch PC Mod. You're always helpful.

Biostar always has passive heatsink. I guess to cut costs they do this. They put no info whatsoever on release dates.

btw the DFI is running tremendous. Never got to modding the case so I'm thinking of doing an Epox 6100 am2 till the e4300 comes out... unless a GOOD cheapie motherboard comes out. Was thinking on the DS3 but I hate junkabyte and I don't know about the s3 even though it seems it's the same.
