i wanna change my current mobo with this biostar to pair with my prescott 506.

does it really have a good performance like those already posted?

first time i was interested in DS3, but too expensive

in Biostar's web listed that 965pt doesn't support DDR533, is it real?

no it supports 533 just fine.

and the 965PT is WIERD!!!!

i can actually run my gskill HZ's at 500+ but only with 5-5-5-15 and only if i set the 2.2v jumper.
it needs more vdimm.

but i flashed my 965PT with the Deluxe bios and it uns better with that bios.
plus the mch voltage now goes to 1.8v and fsb goes to 1.5

but i can only run the HZ ram at 1000+ ONLY if i set the ram to 800mhz.
this means my max overclock is about 3.1ghz.
if i do 1:1 i can boot at 4ghz,, but this was only on air so i need to throw my water on it and see if it will let me run better.

but the 965PT is just wierd ... i am not sure if i will keep it or not.

I see the Rebels have a 914 Mod BIOS working on both the Deluxe and the PT.

Linky...

what do you mean by weird?

compared to DS3 & ECS 965, which is the best? most overclockable?

**Ace-a-Rue** · 10-21-2006, 06:51 AM

anyone have knowledge of when the Deluxe model will arrive in the USA?

wierd as in,,, unstable at various FSB... stable with this.. not stable with that.

the ram divider is just killing me.

i MUST run the dram freq at 800 if i want to achieve 1000mhz dram.

WHY ? im not sure i fully understand it.

as for a 1:1 ratio.

its no better or worse than the DS3.

can someone show me the 965 Dlx or PT running the gskill HZ's 500+ at less than 2.4v and what timings they are using ?

and are you running 1:1 or running on a divider ?

plus the lack of a cpu multi is killing me too, i cant get any high FSB since i am stuck at a 9x multi.

**keiths** · 10-21-2006, 07:29 AM

Probably about the same time a 256mb 7300gt ddr3 does(everyone+dog can get one, expect in the US, even though they've long since been released. Lame ass market segmentation is my bet).

**Fr3ak** · 10-21-2006, 07:41 AM

I am not 100% sure yet, as Biostar didnt reply, but I have the feeling the PT is a replacement for the Deluxe for whatever reason..
All German shops, that had the Deluxe before now have the PT

lestat did you run the memory on a different 965 board before?
If so what were the max speed and timings you were able to run?

And what exactly do you mean by that sentence:

but i can only run the HZ ram at 1000+ ONLY if i set the ram to 800mhz.

You can run the memory at 1000Mhz when you set it with a divider that it runs 800Mhz??? Doesnt make much sense to me, sorry.

Early November Deluxe will be available retail.

does it mean that PT is just the same (identically) as Deluxe? or Deluxe is not good so Biostar released PT?

**JWilson** · 10-21-2006, 02:15 PM

The Deluxe uses the ICH8R that supports RAID.
The PT uses the ICH8 that does not support RAID.

Rumor has it that the ICH8R's are in short supply.

**Carnajo** · 10-22-2006, 01:02 AM

Anyone know what the differences are between the P965 PT and the P965 vanilla?

Oh, and regarding the PT vs. Deluxe, is the ICH8 vs ICH8R the only difference? If I could expect the same level of overclock on both boards I'd be more attracted to the PT in that case.

**Fr3ak** · 10-22-2006, 08:24 AM

I havet seen a P965 vanilla yet, so I dont think there is one out.

The PT only has 2 SATA ports and raid functionality less than the Deluxe.
They should clock the same and you can use the Deluxe bios for the PT.

**Ace-a-Rue** · 10-22-2006, 05:18 PM

i thought it was four sata ports for the PT and six sata ports for the deluxe

EDIT;...confirmed...four sata ports for the PT:

4 x Serial ATA 3Gb/s Connectors

there is 4 sata ports and NO raid,, none...
no AHCI either.
sata is on or off thats it.

without a cpu multi option i was unable to test max FSB but it did boot at 440x9
but thats not a cold boot thats set it in the bios and reboot.

**Ace-a-Rue** · 10-22-2006, 05:52 PM

does the deluxe model offer a cpu multi lowering option?

**buckshot** · 10-22-2006, 05:58 PM

Yes, it does.

**Ace-a-Rue** · 10-22-2006, 06:00 PM

then, i will wait for the deluxe model to show up in the USA....actually, i really want the one with onboard video....i guess i will have to wait several months for that one.

**Lestat** · 10-22-2006, 06:12 PM

wierd,,, even flashing the 965PT with the Deluxe bios did not open the cpu multi... hhmm....
is it hidden some where ? or is it right on the overclocking page ?

**Ace-a-Rue** · 10-22-2006, 06:19 PM

check the overclocking page...biostar puts it there for their AMD board.

**Lestat** · 10-22-2006, 06:21 PM

yeah its not there.

even using modbin its not there hell its not even in the deluxe bios.
buckshot do you own this board or you just saying it has the cpu multi
cuz everyone i talked to said the dlx didnt have it either

and in fact Stilt says himself he used EIST to control the multiplier.... i believe it was stilt.
EIST meaning i assume they were using Crystal CPUID

you can try Biostar G965 Mini ATX, it has onboard video, but I don't think it's OCable

**Fr3ak** · 10-23-2006, 01:05 AM

I didnt make it too clar in the above post. What I meant was the PT version has 2 SATA ports less than the Deluxe and missing raid functionality.

I Have seen some pictures at the Cebit showing a G965 board with on board graphics. Havent seen any info on that one after that :/

Why dont you use CPUID to control the multi then?
If you select a lower multi, say 7, you wont be able to clock the E6600 as high as a E6300 with a default multi at 7 would clock.

**irenic** · 10-23-2006, 03:34 AM

i had 965 DLX and i'm very sure there is no cpu mutiplier in the bios
