Biostar TPOWER I45 about 160~170 USD
thanks:)

wow really nice cpu and very good fsb we have to change our commando and get this mobo ;);)

real nice Windwithme been waitin for the e8600
that biostar board lookin real good too:up:

Thanks for the review. That's a very nice FSB wall. :up: How's the vDroop? And did you have a chance to play around with the PCI-e jumpers? I haven't seen anything like that in forever. Reminds me of old school OCing in the late 90s.

Oh, I have to ask, what type of camera do you use? Those pictures are incredible.

I use NIKON D80:)

Nice. However, is there any major difference between these parts and a DFI UT P35 or Commando with a top notch e8400? I can the the same out of mine since January.

Not trying to be negative, the board looks awesome, especially the price. But I want to go to e8600 / P45 only if it's a performance jump, or able to run the same high clocks with very low, stable voltage..

4.7ghz @ 1.5v awesome... Keep it up,nice work,like always

windwithme , Nice Board and E8600 :D

I love those little glass animals you use in your reviews.

Your turn now Pt1t, think you or Cornerjack got some E8600 ES too... :D

Nice to know that E8600 is finally closing in :)

:woot: E8600 comes and Commando will retire then :yepp:
I guess not, but will there be a Xeon-Version (like E3110 - E8400)?

E8600 EeEEEEEK :D

I want that CPU + MB Combo :D.

Meh,

all your bases will belong to Intel when Bloomfield tears you a new one when you see its SP1M scores.

Ofcourse, if you don't care about 4/6 core behemoths, E8400/E3110 Wolfdale is like the most amazing Intel price/performance super overclocking CPU since E4300. Too bad Intel isn't making more chips on lower FSB so that we can have higher multiplier (aka E7200.. but with all the cache).

Wow, that's pretty crazy...
Let's hope it's this good with the Quads... :up:

Few colours on that PCB :D Christmas mobo .

Nice test!

I like the biostar! It cuold be my next board! :)

I love this Board :hump:

wow very nice i think the p45 will be a really nice board.. and that e8600 ... where do i get one...lol....

Beautiful photography.:up:

Whats the max freq that u can attain at 1.3v for this cpu?

Great gear and pics as always WWM. Thanks for posting.

Very impressive.

Forget the mobo, E8600!!!! new WR will fall soon :)

I'm hoping older X38 boards can clock this thing like hell also. 10x500 would be perfect :slobber:

Jumping from 530fsb to 606? No holes in between?

In any case very exciting stuff. The CPU as well, but I'm more impressed with the mobo. Biostar ... its been a long time since I tried one. :D

OMG I want your little duggies!!!!

But that is an amazing motherboard and CPU, it has completely blown my expectations for the P45 out of the water.

I would like to see how the other brands overclock as well, particularly the MSI P45 Platinum and Diamond with the huge cooler on the platinum and water on the diamond.

Saw this board on the egg tonight along with 8 or so other P45 offerings.

Anyone going to jump on it?

Nice to see most P45's hitting high fsb!:D

Good work as usual wwm...

Good to see ur playing TPower I45 and e86...

Keep pushing it.
