Ace-a-Rue, Ace-a-Rue!
Thanks for starting this thread. It is good to have another resource available for exploring its overclocking potential. I purchased my TPower around a week or so before you and I've spent alot of time overclocking it. I've been lurking here for quite sometime and I've also wanted to post but I had some diffulculties joining Xtreme Systems. I want to thank HousERat for pointing me in the right direction. I started with an E8400 and OCZ Reaper PC2-1066 (2x2gb) and have moved on to an E8600 and OCZ Reaper PC2-9200 (2x1GB). I also now have 2 sticks of 1gb Kingston HyperX PC2-9200 (spec 2.3v) and I'm expecting 2 sticks of 1gb Patriot Viper Extreme PC2-9600 (spec 2.3v) on Monday. Having compatible highspeed memory is important to achieving good overclocks and I hope the Patriots mesh nicely with one of the 4 RCOMPS. I'm looking forward to participating here.
Offthread: Since I had an extra E8400 available I just purchased a Biostar TP45 HP this week from NewEgg ($100). It has a very similar feature set to the TPower but it is a completely different circuit board and I think a less sophisticated power regulation design. Today I've got it running at 7x575 1/1 with OCZ PC2-9200... not too bad for a relatively low-cost board!

WELCOME PolRoger!:up:
i have bios shots for my 9650 and E8500 on the first page of this thread...the settings for 9650 were good for one hour of Prime 95...it should give you a good starting point...i was experimenting with GSkill PC6400 and Corsair Dominators PC 9136...the bios images were using PC6400 2 x 2gb.
not bad for TP45 HP board for $100 smackers;)...can you run and complete a Super PI 32M at 575 FSB?
look on the first page of this thread..i show bios images for the E8500 and QX9650...they should help you get started.Quote:

ok, bios booted at 3.99 but failed windows as soon as it showed. just booted into windows at 3.91 and the same setting (litterally) as your qx settings.
i am dying to hit 4.0 as most 9550 i read will do it. Im on water as it says in my sp and my temps are pretty low.
what should i do?
edit: running occt now.
edit 2: failed after 3 min, didn't crash just failed.
@Ace-a-Rue - Re:TP45 HP 32M superpi completed in 12m 8.235s at 575fsb.
Here is my first 600fsb overclock with my TPower. It is bootable to windows. I had to relax the memory timings a little because I didn't want to go over 2.272v on my OCZ PC2-9200. Maybe with some other higher voltage sticks I could do better.

hey gys,
my i45 arrives nxt week. im looking at grabbing some ram for it.
any opinions on these - http://www.mtechcomputers.com.au/pro...oducts_id=4765
i am hopeing to get 1200 mhz .
if not whats a good set for this board?
@adya
My OCZ Reaper PC2-9200 will run 1150 at around 2.1v and 1200 with 2.272v they seem to work well with the bios setting RCOMP 2. I have the newer lower volt revision which I think has different IC from the older 2.3v sticks. Your choice could run well but one never knows until you actually try them.
i currently have those same sticks and i got to say that i'm little bit disappointed with mine.. atleast mine aren't great clockers at all so i would recommend you to get something else.. mine did around 630mhz (or 1260 mhz) with the stock latencies :( i've tested em with 4 different boards and haven't been able get em higher. in some review they have been able to get those sicks to 660mhzQuote:

I have a P5Q-E and I don't like it at all, so I'm thinking in trading it for this one. Am I doing a good choice?
anyone noticed this ?
when you set cpu +200 in the volt options that volt actually drops to 1.180+-
when i set +250 its fine but thats like 2.440v wich is a bit much.
is 1.48-1.5 to much for a Q9550?
I do not have one, but my E8600 seems ok under water with those voltages. You have water so..........:up:Quote:

Aint this a little so so for a raid0 of raptors ?
It did a bit better on my nforce 6.

Why dont you try making a OS slice that would speed things up a bit.Quote:
