    Got this board up and running yesterday - just like all the other results out there 620fsb + is a breeze on air. Can get good clocks with wolfdale no problem, same voltages required as DFI UT P35. But the big difference I can see is ram performance. So far it won't run PL7 with tight timings and therefore is not as efficient for normal use. I lose time in 1m and everest read and latency totally stink with PL8 44412 vs PL7.

    If someone can share settings for 500x8.5 4444 PL7 that would be cool. Don't want any jacked voltages for that either. 1.2vtt, 1.4nb would be nice.

    Yes, but only by 0.3 Volt if I remember right.

    Picked up this board recently and install/oc was relatively painless even for a newb like myself. Updating the BIOS is especially easy.

    But for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to turn off the Marvel Raid adapter to keep it from initializing everytime I boot up. I've tried messing with every BIOS setting pertaining to SATA and HD I could find with no luck.

    Can someone please let me know if they were able to disable the Marvel raid init and how you did it, please?

    I just receive my biostar Tpower but I have a problem! When I set the vcore manualy, the motherboard shutdown. In auto mode, no problem. I use the bios P45AA710.BSP. So, is it a fix or my new mobo should go in RMA ?

    Hmm looks good, apart from the high CPU and memory voltage (on aircooling?).

    I had some nice results with the mainboard at the weekend. Will post them later =)

    I really hope this is not on aircooling but then it should be the source of your shutdown problem

    The board is great. I posted about problems getting past 600 MHz FSB. I was finally able to get over that mark =)

    NB was cooled by a ghetto construction with LN2. Temp was -186.6 C. I will post pictures of the setup later

    About 1.8V on the CPU, memory 2.5V, NB +0.7V (max selectable), VFSB +0.650V.

    The board works well wit just +0.3V on NB and VFSB, but I had the impression the board is more stable with the high voltage, while I cooled the NB with LN2.

    Seeing 650+ MHz with just +0.,V, I am pretty sure, the board can do more than that, but the CPU is limiting here. Too bad I didn't try to run 1M with that setup. I only ran it once with 5.8 ish GHz single channel and CL5, but didn't even take a screenshot. Was way too slow on my messed up OS

    One user @ Hwluxx has some problems with the board. maybe you can help him. Here are his question:

    Hello,



    i´m a customer and i´ve bought the TPower I45 Mainboard. Now i want to ask you why i cannot put a lower Vcore like 1.15V?

    The problem is in the Bios you cannot put an exactly setting. you have to choose these + and - settings. but now im at 0,025V

    and to go lower ia have to choose the next step -0,050V and thats is too much. I can put better sets over the TPOwerII Software

    but thats are only for testing. because the settings from the software will not be transfered to the bios. Maybe you have a newer Bios versionin future

    or you have a Beta Bios Version. To fix this Problem? I´m using already the newest Bios version.
