UNOFFICIAL BIOSTAR TPower I45 M/B

[mrcape]

No mod, I had no probs with OVP at all. I had actually had it up to -160c and 2.05vcore lol. It's really amazing this board, especially the price, speed and durability.

The memory is 2 kits Gskill, 1 Team and 1 mushkin, all with D9GMH ics. Probably not for the average settings, but I'm not opposed to throwing voltage at my ram. It's held up fine too. I've ran a D9 kit at 2.23v for over a year at 1000mhz 44412. It's a breeze to run those settings on the DFI, I'm sure I can get it back on this board too.

Nice review and thread by the way. This board needed a good thread for more than just benchers.

what bios were you using then?

if you had no problem with that vcore then maybe my board had a defect...i had the 710 bios!

What were your mem settings when you did your 6.1+ on the biostar???

The max I've been able to boot windows is between 550-575.

If I try to run 1M superpi at 575, my computer locks up.

I have some 2x512 D9GMH that's capable of 650 with 2.4ish volts so I'm not mem limited.

If i'd venture a guess, I'd say it was the chip.

I have another chip coming to see if this is really the case.

Well, it certainly is a really good e84.

For 600 fsb - I used rcomp config 2, set PL manually in bios to 10, left timings at auto/spd, boot at 580, then in windows use setfsb to 600fsb. Then once you're in you can drop to PL 9 with memset if you want.

Here's 6.06ghz 1m with e84
