Biostar X58 Core I7 920 @ 4545MHz (my first try on air)

I received this motherboard this night from Biostar and I haven't test this board much yet but I'm really impressed with Tpower X58 , everyone wants high fsb and stable,don't doubt, this X58 is really good so far ^^
I can get into windows at 215 with low voltages but i can not reach more than 217 ,wrong settings maybe ,i need to tweak a bit more ^^

Here a quick run on air

Wow, that's nice! Can't wait to see some ln2!

Very nice :up::clap:

fix your SuperPi-Sandra @ 5520MHz Cuz i dont se any 5520mhz there mate ;)

Today i play to just testing for fun

you cpu score isnt good, enable HT


And Nice one PcCI2iminal , now i m not just alone to post some result about this board.

Nice PC, but not sure why but imageshack links not all images seem to show up when i view them - happens with other folks who use imageshack as well ?

waiting for ln2 test? :D

Nice board my friend, have fun :up:

figured out how to view them on the page click 'Show Adv Links' and click the image link to http://img387.imageshack.us/images/external.png :)

What batch is your 920 ? My 920 3836A756 doing similar on TRUE120 air :)

nice 920 :) and of course nice DFI ^^
max bclock?
EDIT
18x219.6Bclk - 19x219.6Bclk

for 32m
great :)

So 2 weeks newer heh

Yeah so far at 220bclk bios = 219.6 real heh

very impressive George :)

and great RAM clock

http://fileshosts.com/intel/DFI/DFI_...9m22s953ms.png

I can not reach that speed ....not now ....cz only two ram dividers(2:8 max) are available on Biostar X58 :S
I was talkin with Thomas about it and he said the same ,only two dividers is available for him but his 920 is an ES and its locked , my 920 has all dividers unlocked(tested on R2) ,bios issue maybe i dunno :(
I will report it and i hope they can fix soon :)

Time for some changes :) and still on air

Really awesome! I will get my i7 system tomorrow.

Yeah ram clocking on DFI is sweet... nearly as sweet as your 940XE (ES) unlocked multi cpu :D

Can you download memset 4.0 beta2 so we can see what sub timings are like. Thanks

edit 4.0 beta 3 is out http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=1110

Pretty nice Board and Tests Junior :)

Do you know if Intel will acually sell those 940 XE?

here is another unlocked 940 and the max bootable is 210fsb and multipliers from 12x to 18x is a no go with high fsb :S

Core I7 940 Black Edition?
I don't know Felipe :(

unlocked 940 + Biostar
http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6...locked1xo0.jpg

works like an Extreme
uncore clock,qpi link ,ram dividers but not the cpu multiplier :(
i can set any cpu multi but nothing over than 22x will work :( ,maybe a new bios can fix it ^^

maybe try loosening trfc from 59 to 72 or 88 and see if you can get higher ?

thx George but I've tried with no luck hehehe this chip is little different I need to find a good multiplier to fly on fsb ;) and the max is
214 with 21x :S

http://img262.imageshack.us/img262/7...ar940xesw1.jpg

low voltage 1.28v

http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/2...4230mhzwq1.jpg

high voltage 1.6v

http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/8...biostarom3.jpg

I found the problem and now 25x is workin hehehehe

http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/1315/fixed2zj4.jpg

Biostar X58 is very funny to play :)

Edit

all air and room temp @ 20c

nice low volts.. what was the fix for 25x ?

low vcore is so sweet hehehe and i think with that chip i can hit 5Ghz or more ^^

if I set the multi at O.N.E. clocking navigator(main screen) will not work and any multi higher than 22x will be locked at 22x so i use the Turbo mode configuration and then can be manually managed and everything works fine ^^

with First bios on sample board board i had to do also that on 965xe , i had Max multiplier of 24X via ONE , and i had to change max multiplier in turbo Boost menu. I think it s easy to fix on 940 B0.

good to know Thomas and now you can use the O.N.E. navigator to set the multiplier rite?

Setting by O.N.E. is better than Turbo Mode cz when i use Turbo the multiplier droops alot(-0.5x) with oscillation on the final clock and its hard to save the highest clock :( and its not happen with O.N.E.

following here i have acess to 22x on 920

Looks like there's more uses for Intel's Turbo mode on DFI UT X58-T3EH8 especially for single threaded benchmark/apps like Super Pi. In bios set Turbo enabled, EIST enabled, Set to 1 core enabled and you have access to fixed 22x cpu multiplier

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...8&postcount=20

but i dont need to droop to 1 core ,Biostar Tpower X58 just works fine with 22x and all cores enable(i havent tried HT on) and its all air :)

http://img201.imageshack.us/img201/1460/22x920lp5.jpg

:)

and i tried some LN2 with my unlocked 940 but i had some multipliers issues ,i started with 31x but after 3 minutes of testing it drooped to 28x ,27x etc and i never get a higher multiplier again :S

http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/2424/cpu4907ye6.jpg

4900MHz was the best clock before finishing and now im waiting for a fix
