UNOFFICIAL BIOSTAR TPower I45 M/B

[TurK-FX]

No its not, But I found a non modular, corsair TX750. My current powersupply's output:+3.3V@24A,+5V@26A,+12V@56A(4 Rails),-12V@0.8A,+5VSB@3.0A. The output on the TX750 is +3.3V@30A,+5V@28A,+12V@60A,-12V@0.8A,+5VSB@3.0A. So is the TX750 that much better than my current because its 60amps on a single rail? I don't mind buying this, its just I will have to put extra time to hiding the wires behind the tray. Also extra modding so the fan points down. I'll order this PSU this Friday so I can test it. If it works, kudos to you guys.

Did you plug 8pin power connector to motherboard? that happened to me as well. When i pluged 8pin it powered up.

[Mark90]

Yes I did, I even made sure I heard the clip on the 8pin click.

Hey guys, I finally bit-the-bullet & purchased this board along with a Q9550. My intention is to run the CPU at 4GHz 24/7.

I really need some suggestions on RAM to get to push this board upwards of what I'll need.

I'm currently looking into 2x OCZ Flex XLC DDR2 1150 (PC2 9200) Newegg Link .......... With this set, I have 3 concerns. The first being the room for 4 modules on this board. The second being able to run the four modules at the rated speed on this board. And lastly, how much of a PITA is it to put these under water (I'm aware that these same modules are available with a different heatsink that are cheaper).

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!!

I've had two sets of OCZ and never had a problem running them at their rated speed, timings & Vdimm. Both of mine were Platinum Rev. 2 DDR2-800. One will clock in the DDR2-980 range with 5's, DDR2-900 with 4's and the other doesn't like to boot over ~DDR2-825, so take that for what it's worth. IMHO, if you want to run 4Gb, get 2x2G at the same rated speed. Four sticks will put more of a strain on the MCH and (probably) won't overclock any better than 2x2G.

Short answer: Yes, but not b/c it's a single-rail (yours should be able to run as single-rail with the "TURBO" switch enabled), but because (IMHO) Corsair makes a superior PSU. If that doesn't happen to be your problem, you can rest assured you have gotten a great unit. It's not too bad hiding the wires if your case is decent. To wit.

Hi,
I got my OCZ platinum PC6400 up to 1100mhz, (cas 6), but it easily did 1000 at cas 5......
In fact, they clock better than my crucial ballistix, (only got them to 1000 cas 5 atm, havent pushed them yet though)

I wanted modular, should the 620watt do?

I got the 600w next..I'm goin with the 700w with the nexts Build either of these will be fine

You always want a psu with a Great Efficiency 80% and above

Free Shipping and rebates returns on both if your in the states

[Mark90]

Alright I will try turbo mode when I get the chance to do so. But can it run turbo without any hitches if its on constant turbo? If it doesn't work I'll surely get the tx750.

Have you somebody information about when the Biostar launch new bios for this board? i need only soft setings for the Vcore and Vdimm

I recently got some very good information on some G.SKill RAM that I'm on the lookout for & hopefully somebody will have some they are looking to sell. Otherwise, it's off to the egg..

Here is the Newegg link I am also linking my WTB thread in my sig in case anyone runs across this

my question to you is are you sure you have your front panel wiring
connected right?

Take your time mark Great you got it working right

What kind of memory bandwidth numbers are people seeing with dual core chips? This is what I run 24/7 with my Reaper HPCs.

Hello is there any moded bios for TP45 HP? Thnx for answers

Ket, one of the users on this forum, was working on some of them. There was some sort of scandal about bricked boards and I believe he stopped making them after it.

You could turn the motherboard on by clicking the button on the motherboard itself
That could save you the time, but nevermind now...

I'm handing this board off to my dad in a new build and I have a question.

I'm getting a checksum error after some reboots. It's retarded because the settings are 8 hours Blend Pr9 stable, OCCT stable and the mem is memtest86 stable for hours. If I do anything that requires medium or more processing and then reboot, I'll bet the checksum error F1 to enter or F2 to load defaults. If I enter and load the OC'd profile it will work again.

Any ideas? I want to use those settings, but I don't want anyone to have to deal with checksum errors. Is there some crap in the post routine that's causeing that, logo, oc retry etc?

EDIT - I've tried clearing cmos, rflashing via afudos etc. It's just something flaky in the boot up process. Is there a known issue? Another part of the symptom is that it's actually power cycling instead of a normal restart. And once it powers back up it either hangs or throws a checksum error. This thing is pissing me off. I have done a lot with this board, and now I just want to get rid of it. It's all in the bios this issue, I'm certain. I just need a solution if one exists, no matter how much of a kludge fest.

Anyone bought the Biostar Tpower I45 wtihin the last few weeks?

Just curious if the revision of the chipset is A2? can anyone check with CPUZ, see if they switched to A3? not that it matters much.

Mine I got 11/24/2008 hav'en seen any different Rev sense

about the same purchase date, same revision.

Lucky me - after six weeks in RMA, I was told that the board is on the way. So tatally (if I am still lucky), the RMAtakes 8 weeks.

Hi all
Im running this board with my old e6850 G0 could someone give me some setting to try im hitting a wall @ 500fbs and its doing my head in lol
cheers

[DoObs]

I'm RMA my board, im now getting the FF Code, cant boot at all, and ive tried different ram. Also the dual channel doesnt work anymore aswell....i was getting E1 and B1 error CODE....

Do yourselves a favour and get the DFI P45 LP UT T2RS with 8phase Digital PWN
