    Help me get Ket a Biostar TPower I45!

    OK guys, you stepped up to the plate here...
    Ket is getting his TPower I45...
    There are two main reasons I thought of this:
    1: I'm grateful for Ket helping my first P5Q-E kick ass before it totally flaked out and became fsb handicapped/downright unstable.
    2: I'm genuinely curious to see what he can do with an I45. I would love the I45 to absolutely destroy all the high-dollar mobos out there.

    Update regarding Ace's board FS as of 11:58PM EDT on 7 October 2008:
    Alright folks, here's the latest... Ace is trying to get some affairs in order and needed to sell the board quickly.

    Based on my belief in the general goodwill of humanity: I paid the entire $140 to Ace (USPS gave him bad shipping info, we originally expected $135USDtotal) to get this thing headed off to Ket ASAP, thus putting myself $115 'in the hole'.

    Final standings of donations received for Ket's TPower:
    $15 'pending' from Slovnaft once PayPal clears it.
    $38 from radaja
    $25 from whodie
    $17 from philbrown23
    $15 from Marcam923
    $25 Canuck bucks from Logger which worked out to $20.89USD
    $20 from walternowi, who generously offered to cover my original $10 pledged to start this project

    WE GOT IT DONE!!!


    We ended up at $145.73USD net after paypal 'fees' which is actually $5.73 over the board's cost, so per walternowi Tiberius the Husky is getting a big box of biscuits for being so patient while we got together and made this work. I'll get a pic of him enjoying his new treats tomorrow & post it right here!

    The board has already shipped by Ace heading straight to Ket via USPS, which Ace addresses himself on post#142 in this thread.

    I sincerely thank you all for your support in this good cause.

    ... and to anyone who doubted my intentions: are you still wondering?




    Looky below at what radaja is getting courtesy of Ket...

This kit retails on the egg for $43 before shipping. Do be aware though that this kit is incompatible on the P5Q series mobos. I've run the kit on a 975X (chipset I tested the kit to 1000MHz+ on), NF570 and NF590 chipsets (only quick tests on these chipsets, just plonked in to see if the boards in question would POST with the kit) without a problem.
