Just looked in the bag of goodies that came w/ the biostar. It did come w/ a HDMI to DVI convertor, and the sVID is built on board. There was no Optical Out PCI bracket in the package. SOrry about that.. I didn't look closely at the back, i am still running some test with it on my workbench, and only using the VGA out.

Sad I checked the Biostar website, and a few retailers, and it says it comes with a SPDIF out bracket. Can anyone confirm this, was yours a retail board.
Thanks

I have a retail board and it does not come with an SPDIF out bracket.

Yup.. mine does NOT come w/ the bracket. It was a full retail bracket. I really wish there was a way to OC this board in windows :(

better placed ATX/FD connector and PCI(e) slots are better placed to and it has got a DVI port

I completely agree! This thread has totally wrong title.

This is much better placed but how well can it OC?

What are the bios options as well.

Great sneak peak Wind! THANKS!

Great review as always WindWithMe. I just ordered this motherboard for a replacement for a horrible DFi RS482 HTPC motherboard. 2 Gigs of Ram, loaded motherboard, X2 3600 for under 200 bucks. I'm lovin' it.

Hey windwithme, have you tried the TF7025-M2? I'm working with that ATM and I can barely get 225MHz HTT?! What am I doing wrong?

I have the TF560 AM2+ here. Once my AM2 cpu arrived, I will post some information :)

Nicks it might be helpful posting bios screens with the relevant information. 225 sounds way too low.

The TF7050-M2 is a fantastic motherboard. This is the highest HTT I was able to achieve though. 600MHz on pc5300 ram @ 2Volts ain't all bad either. :D

Does anyone know of any overclocking software that works with this board? I've tried Glockgen,Systool,and A64 info and none work.

I figured it out. Somehow even though the RAM was running @ under spec, some alpha timings were affecting HTT OC. Once I adjusted them it's fine, now I'm running 316x9.5 24/7 :)

Maybe DRAM...

NickS,if it' not the problem,can you list those timings and the settings you used to overcome the HTT OC issue?
