I was getting coldboot issues at -100 and coldbug at -148, same CPU and board. What rev was your CPU?

Nice FSBs Benny.
I shall start testing the EP45T-DQ6 next week :D

Thanks m8... i just got DS4, DQ6, DS3R, DS3P and DS3 retail version on hand.. but no DDR3 version :(...will test it again

Was everyone getting similar FSB?
Cant wait to get my hand on one to improve efficiency from FSB and RAM speed :)

P45 overclocks QUAD FSB much easier than any other board

i had a crappier board but i was easily benchmarking 3D at 460

actually i was able to bench at 480 with relative ease but some other guys with slightly better boards were doing some 500+ MHz FSB 3D stable....hicookie did around 512Mhz 3D runs on AIR cooling lol
so did Pt1t next to me and some screenshots at around 530Mhz all 4xcores enables lol :up:

i also benched at 5.4 and 5.5GHz (458*12) with -95 to -100C on the base of the pot as much chip had a bad cold bug

Looks like I was right then Dinos.
The P45 clocks quads ( FSB-wise ) better than the rest Intel chipsets ( so it looks ).

Nah, most of the times you or Tim get the hardware first.

Thomas (Pt1t) got a suicide shot at 535 i think. Plus my boards will be arriving this week :D

BTW (to all the other people looking at this thread), do not take our benches as the real thing. These boards had so many problems you wouldn't believe it. Expect the retail boards to be even better!

hehe i'm just joking around
my hands are full with so much hardware to test hahaha
it would take a while to get to it i'm sure

i really want to do some Geforce GTX cough cough runs and post them up but then again i don't want my Johnson chopped off for it hahaha

i wonder if it's A2 revision or later actually cause FSB for Dual Cores was OK but not fantastic :shrug:
i guess we'll find out when these boards eventually arrive heh

I can risk my Johnson ( no NDA signed, alternate source :D ) but... I'd rather keep my promise and keep receiving nice stuff from my contact :D

Can't really test it's oc potential because i have only one running cpu and it's a that p4 :ROTF:

Hrm, wonder when I'll receive a board. I need a new toy to play with :cool: Maybe I'll have LN2 by then.. just maybe. All hell will break loose the moment I have LN2 :eek:

Gomeler, set me up two rotary cascades for my gpus, and send them to me.
I'll give ya LN2 :p:

On 1.312 this chip goes very well, the board is promising some fun in the future.:D

Yeah... end of NDA :D and this some my results on Q9300 and QX9770

Q9300@500MHz FSB benched ;)

Tim or Dino, any chance you've got a newer BIOS for the EP45T-DS5 m8s ?
06-07-2008, 02:57 AM
dinos22

lol we didn't even get our boards yet heheh
have you done much testing with that board yet
06-07-2008, 03:02 AM
BenchZowner

Not much.
The EP45T-DS5 board is revision... listen... 0.3 :D
BIOS is D21 ( WTF ? ) and...unfortunately full of bugs.
Most overclocking attempts ( even ridiculous ones, like 380MHz FSB with gay timings ) result in a... power on - power off sequence...
Guess I'll have to wait for Sue to come back from Computex :(
06-07-2008, 03:41 AM
dinos22

don't waste time with those early boards
i'm sure we will get full retail ones for testing soon

btw here are some results i had on the USB stick from Taiwan event on DS5 board

nothing special
crappy drivers and buggy board....some of these were done on single channel and also i used the second PCI Express slot so 8x bandwidth

i was more interested in just testing the CPU at 2volts all day long to see if the board will live :D

it's a survivor hehehe

That board is full of bugs unfortunately, even with last bios (D23), it doesnt clock badly but its not that stable ;)

I received 3 stuff, 1 EP45-DS4 ( seems to be working ok now, even with early BIOS ), 1 EP45T-DS5 ( God knows if it'll ever work properly ), and a T-Shirt.
2 out of 3 stuff working properly :p:

Come on Sue, I seriously need some new BIOSes :D

anyone got E2 bios working ? i have it but i cant flash mobo ...
06-10-2008, 10:42 AM

That's the second report for E2.
PPinDaHouse told me the same.

I will try later on my board ( need to get some stuff done first ).
Could be a wrong ID... we'll see.
