Biostar X58 Core I7 920 @ 4545MHz (my first try on air)

[PcCI2iminal]

I received this motherboard this night from Biostar and I haven't test this board much yet but I'm really impressed with Tpower X58 , everyone wants high fsb and stable,don't doubt, this X58 is really good so far ^^
I can get into windows at 215 with low voltages but i can not reach more than 217 ,wrong settings maybe ,i need to tweak a bit more ^^

Here a quick run on air



Wprime 32/1024 @ 4450MHz


Pifast/winrar @ 4500MHz


SuperPi-Sandra @ 5520MHz


3d(HD4870X2 @ 840/1000MHz)

3d05 @ 4450MHz


3d06 @ 4450MHz

LN2 soon

[Riggs]

Wow, that's nice! Can't wait to see some ln2!

[fatguy1992]

Very nice

[PytonOrm]

fix your SuperPi-Sandra @ 5520MHz Cuz i dont se any 5520mhz there mate

Today i play to just testing for fun

only with my geforce 260 gtx and cold air in my room =)

you cpu score isnt good, enable HT


And Nice one PcCI2iminal , now i m not just alone to post some result about this board.

[eva2000]

Nice PC, but not sure why but imageshack links not all images seem to show up when i view them - happens with other folks who use imageshack as well ?

[PytonOrm]

Okey Thanks dude =) i will try enable HT on

[PcCI2iminal]

thx you guys

here is the same George

thx for all Thomas and now you are not alone in the boat

[hiwa]

nice 920 chip u have man
waiting for ln2 test?

[Viss]

Nice board my friend, have fun

[eva2000]

thx you guys

here is the same George

figured out how to view them on the page click 'Show Adv Links' and click the image link to

What batch is your 920 ? My 920 3836A756 doing similar on TRUE120 air

[PcCI2iminal]

nice 920 chip u have man
waiting for ln2 test?

thx man
i need to wait one more day

Nice board my friend, have fun

thx Bart
and yes,its a nice board ,the new Biostar dynasty just began

figured out how to view them on the page click 'Show Adv Links' and click the image link to

a single click on the thumbs like before was better hehehehe

nice 920 and of course nice DFI ^^
max bclock?
EDIT
18x219.6Bclk - 19x219.6Bclk

for 32m
great



my 920 ->batch 3838A548

[eva2000]

nice 920 and of course nice DFI ^^

my 920 ->batch 3838A548

So 2 weeks newer heh

Yeah so far at 220bclk bios = 219.6 real heh

19x219.6Bclk

[PcCI2iminal]

very impressive George

and great RAM clock



I can not reach that speed ....not now ....cz only two ram dividers(2:8 max) are available on Biostar X58 :S
I was talkin with Thomas about it and he said the same ,only two dividers is available for him but his 920 is an ES and its locked , my 920 has all dividers unlocked(tested on R2) ,bios issue maybe i dunno
I will report it and i hope they can fix soon

Really awesome! I will get my i7 system tomorrow.

[eva2000]

Yeah ram clocking on DFI is sweet... nearly as sweet as your 940XE (ES) unlocked multi cpu

Can you download memset 4.0 beta2 so we can see what sub timings are like. Thanks

edit 4.0 beta 3 is out http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=1110

[metro.cl]

Pretty nice Board and Tests Junior

Do you know if Intel will acually sell those 940 XE?

here is another unlocked 940 and the max bootable is 210fsb and multipliers from 12x to 18x is a no go with high fsb :S

Core I7 940 Black Edition?
I don't know Felipe

unlocked 940 + Biostar


works like an Extreme
uncore clock,qpi link ,ram dividers but not the cpu multiplier
i can set any cpu multi but nothing over than 22x will work ,maybe a new bios can fix it ^^

[eva2000]

maybe try loosening trfc from 59 to 72 or 88 and see if you can get higher ?

thx George but I've tried with no luck hehehe this chip is little different I need to find a good multiplier to fly on fsb and the max is
214 with 21x :S

[PcCI2iminal]

low voltage 1.28v



high voltage 1.6v



I found the problem and now 25x is workin hehehehe



Biostar X58 is very funny to play

Edit

all air and room temp @ 20c

[eva2000]

nice low volts.. what was the fix for 25x ?

[PcCI2iminal]

nice low volts..

low vcore is so sweet hehehe and i think with that chip i can hit 5Ghz or more ^^

what was the fix for 25x ?

if I set the multi at O.N.E. clocking navigator(main screen) will not work and any multi higher than 22x will be locked at 22x so i use the Turbo mode configuration and then can be manually managed and everything works fine ^^

with First bios on sample board board i had to do also that on 965xe , i had Max multiplier of 24X via ONE , and i had to change max multiplier in turbo Boost menu. I think it s easy to fix on 940 B0.
