"705.5*8 with Biostar I45..This time on LN2 "

[hey]

My Biostar I45 just arrived yesterday, since we didnt order LN2, i just checked fsb on air. It was able to set up to 668MHZ but i wanted to record vid of it so 662 was enough

here is the result of air cooling and vid of it..( sure i will push it more with my friends)

video of it

Nice,now we want LN2

[Oliver]

Good work hey...

Keep pushing it.

[mop231]

was it warm ?

[hey]

ehehe, maybe should try LN2 on both cpu and nb ,it seems they have potential

[dinos22]

watch your VTT at auto
it's probably at 1.55v at that point

how stable can you make it in dual channel (32M SuperPi)?

that was just a quick try, i got camera and boot the system, even no driver i installed. Now i am away home, i will more deeply try on this and sure more care about settings when i came back.

[dinos22]

haha nice man

just doing some 32M testing on air

it's not too bad efficiency wise i reckon
i have a nice CPU...should be able to do this at 4850 as well

This is a sick motherboard indeed, in the good way

Biostar can push this old E8400 chip easily over 600FSB with air cooling.
650FSB was the maximum it was able to post.

On any other platform this chip has maxed out at ~530FSB, so the increase is indeed very massive.

I am not really sure if the difference comes from the chipset or tampered VTT, but there is a difference and it is huge.

The only thing we need now is a DDR3 version of TPower I45
Even at 1:1 mode the memory is becoming the limiting factor very easily.

They will provide DDR3 based motherboard faster than planned

any probable release datE? im holding off for ddr3 version of this board

Much sooner than original Q4?

And what's up with distributors not liking biostar anymore.. My wholesaler has drastically decreased the line of biostar mobos and is likely to get rid of them completely Probably because nobody cares about anything else than Asus, Intel and gigabyte

that will change hopefully once they start seeing all the hype for this board and other biostar boards.

[Vivi]

you guys think the ddr3 board will reach same speeds?

[hey]

Yesterday my with my buddies tosunermc and AbsoluteZero had some fun on that mabo, it s too bad although i figured out ovp mod, after i did it save-existing bios was not possible , then stuck at 1.85v so only 6g validation and some fsb try. it was able to do 1m at 5864 but didnt try to optimze it since too low speed with this cpu , well, here the ss.

btw, coldbug for nb was around -70c

btw, can some mods change title of the thread to "705.5*8 with Biostar I45..This time on LN2 "

[tiborrr]

Man, this "high FSB Biostar runs" threads are getting boring to read every day I45 is really the FSB king, no doubt about it!

[Vivi]

amazing hey
i love to see all these results, so the the -70 CB, lol that can be done with dice :P

so this board stil isnt effiecient enough? we need a high fsb asus board

[hey]

a few insulation photos by AbsoluteZero ..

[dinos22]

Awesome man

that took a lot of work right there hahahah

[runmc]

OMGosh - what is all that stuff?? It looks like clay. You could run that mobo under water now.

I am enjoying this thread.

it is faber castel soft painter eraser , yes maybe could run after insulation of everywhere; it is really powerful

[DeDaL]

Great board, i need it

[Eldonko]

Love the insulation, what kind of clay is that? I used silly putty once and it sucked all the color out of everything lol. Great fsb!

[dinos22]

guys
i've been using blutac myself but around the CPU socket only
it's great

[mrcape]

Holy crap @ that insulation! I got one of these boards, can't wait to fire it up. How is th estock heatpipe? Should I use HR-05 on NB?
