UNOFFICIAL BIOSTAR TPower I45 M/B

[Ace-a-Rue]

Also, the Gskill 8500 will run at 500, but seems to need pl 10 to be stable which costs me 300 MB/s in MemTest. Anybody know any tricks with some other voltage or memory adjustment that might stabilize it at pl9? I really don't want to fry it and 2.3v did not stabilize it, yet 300 MB/s is substantial.

you could try RAS to CAS delay for read and write at = 6 and then set PL=9, but that will slow it down in speed...remember, the L2 cache and having four cores puts a huge strain on the memory and MCH, which is why you will have a difficult time getting above 470 FSB.
