Biostar TForce P965 Deluxe - 530FSB 1:1 4-4-3-4

IF you running Visa 64 bit edition, your cpu will most likely need more voltage. I've heard of this occurring on both AMD, and Intel processors.

you are right. thanks for your help. I used to be able to run 400x8 on near stock volts. now i just wack 1.5v and it boots into vista!

Hey guys one more question for you all. I bought a fan for my northbridge to get some air going over the thing, and i need some help on how to attach it. The fan is a perfect fit, however i cant just screw it in because the fins on the heatsink are too spaced out. Anyone have some suggestions on how to attach it? Thanks.

[loserkids]

cable tied will do it, i suggest to use thermaltake extreme spirit 2

all you have to do is take a pair of needle nose pliers and squeeze the fins a little closer. thats what i did before i got my swiftech nb cooler.

Thanks! That worked just fine. Not too sure how long it will stay with the fan jiggling back and forth, but its secure for now!

[JWilson]

It's time to flash to a newer mod BIOS:

Hi Guys, n00b question here. What's a good mosfet cooler for the Biostar P965PT and do you need one? Not a watercooled one, just a normal one. Seems I'm not having any luck.

[Shrekogre]

anyone tried a quad core on this board?

also want to know if it allows high fsb quad clocking ?

The TT ES rocks, I am using it on mine right now and the NB is cool as a cucumber (well, relatively speaking of course).

[loserkids]

quad core is supported.
i try HR05 but it blocked by some caps near the NB, so i think TT ES2 is the right cooler 4 the NB

or

Biostar TForce 965PT

and which ram?

sorry for the english....

they are the same with the exception of the deluxe has ich8r and the pt has the ich8 SB so there are no raid on the PT version, it has two less sata connectors also, infact on my PT's that i had i could pull the little sticker off that said tforce 965pt off and the printed on the mobo was tforce p965 deluxe

as far as ram i have only heard bad about using ocz with these guys, most all other d9 works great with the board

the board has some tight subtimings which can cause some issues and the easiest way to get really high clocks is to use clockgen and memset, adjust the timings and then proceed up with clockgen unless you have really good ram that doesnt mind the really tight subs

[Kasten]

MADMAX22, I haven't had any luck with my 965pt and memset. I set the timings loser with memset but i don't get any higher clocks with clockgen.

[MADMAX22]

what other components do you have, ram/cpu

[NinjaZX6R]

I'm having a heck of a time getting 500x7 stable. I suspect it's my ram, but maybe someone can give some insight.

500x6 is stable
500x7 will pass 1mb pi.

Ram is at 1:1 5-5-5-12 (Team group D9GMH...should go WAY higher).
Totally unstable at 4-4-4-12...which I don't understand. It's like the chipset is limiting my ram timings somehow? Is that possible? Chipset voltage is 1.45v, cpu vtt is at 1.3v and tried 1.4v as well. Ram voltage is at 2.3-2.4v. Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm using the very latest rabel's haven bios.

[MADMAX22]

just by chance did you try vmch at 1.35, i know this board overvolts it alot, if your running 1.45 i think your around 1.68 real or something like that, did you beef up your NB cooling with a fan or anything

try using memset and mess with the subtimings a little and see what you can get, i know that my crucial ballistic didnt like the trfc that the board set which was like 24 i think, i upped it to 42 which is kind of loose but it helped alot

check out the discussion thread over at rebel havens forums about this board, theres alot of good tips over there

[Shrekogre]

anyone has any quad core results to share?

[kniwor]

anyone point where's this thing available in US

[natedog420]

heres the latest version of the board.

[Kasten]

I have PQI TURBO 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDRII667 and an e6300 cpu. I've messed with all the voltage and run my ram at 2.1volts my cpu at 1.4 volts and tried to up that too so I know it must be my ram. I can get my fsb running at 450mhz but not any higher other wise random hard locks. I know that 900mhz might be the max for the 667mhz ram i have but if you could tell me what numbers to up in memset i might be able to get it running a bit faster.

[Glow9]

Hey guys I've own two other Biostar systems been fan of them since OCing my Barton. So glad to see they are still rockin.

I have some questions though cause I'm really confused from reading conflicting things.

Is the newest revision OCing just as good as the older ones?
Which Bios would you guys are are the best use with Micron D9 Ram?
Does the 1066/1333 strap mod work and which is best on this mobo?

Last but not least since I read the one guy said the pencil mod works but I dont really understand it either.



What is this? like did you buy that little part at radio shack or something? I don't really get this mod since it's usually just pictures of the board and text. I may be dumb but at the same time I'm cautious. Does the pencil mod work just as good? Is anyone besides nate useing it? I hope someone can really dumb this mod up for me? Like I said I'm dumb

[MameXP]

Can someone confirm me that there is no modded bios thats unlock the CPU multi correct? (i mean the lower multi)

Thanks
