do anyone know whr i can get a BIOSTAR TForce 965 PT Deluxe Edition rite now?

ya, i know the different between deluxe and non-deluxe, but the deluxe 1 got raid feature, so i think it may useful if use more than 1 sata hd...
i think i will get the non-deluxe version la...

All pro here, i'm going to get myself this mobo, but i heard AceCombat said that if wan OC, better change the NB cooler. So, rite now, i'm aiming Thermalright HR-05, izit suitable?
Or got any other recommendation? As cheaper as better la~



Thanks!

Any1 using 3rd party s/w to OC? Or jus OC in the bios? Since the Biostar built-in software "T-Utility Over Clock" look so "nice" and without any guide, i dunno how to OC rite now...

Plus, the "T-Utility Hardware Monitor" will give me a wrong result for the temp and voltage. It is not accurate at all! What's the problem actually?

sorry for that...

So, the latest bios verson should be P96CA119rh2, rite? I refer to the Rebels Haven's website. Now mine is using the P96ca914bs which is the 1st released version, so can I upgrade to the latest version directly?

Just tried to OC from 1.86 to 2.33 (333 x 7), not able to go higher due to my sucking RAM limited me... I cant go higher than this since when the RAM speed higher than 667MHz, errors will occur definitely...

I discover another problem is, even I ald OC till 2.33, but the CPU-Z 1.38 just show me 333 x 6 which is only 1999GHz... Then, it will show me I'm using 965PT Deluxe Edition but I'm not.

One more thing, I cant run TAT at all, have anyone encounter the problem same like me? Therefore, I use CoreTemp to read the temperature, guess wat, it show me 43C at idle temp. I don't think it is accurate coz my previous mobo, Gigabyte 945GM show me 48C at idle....

Honestly, why so many problems happen to me. Is the mobo problem? Or just the software compatibility problem?

there are no 400MHz, just got auto, 533(1:1), 667, and 800 only.
1.325 seems like too low, cant even boot into window. Just now prime with orthos, system not stable at all, not sure what is the problems. So, i tried to increase the vcore to 1.4v, vdimm to 2.0, errors still occur....

sorry, might to explain wat is bad timing?

ya, most the ram can function even at 2.2 vdimm, actually i dun think it is necessary need to set it at 2.2v, but anyway, i will try at 2moro. Thanks ur advice!

thanks for explanation, i will try it after the school...

@flatfinger, I just followed wat u said to disable all the the CPU features, but the CPU-Z still showing me the multiplier is x6, not x7....

Which 1 should I refer to???

I tried to ask the same questions in Rebel's forum, what answer i got is maybe it is thw windows problems, probably some applications reduce the multiplier.
Luckily it is not the mobo problem otherwise need take it bakc to RMA.... I'll will try to reinstall the OS c what will happen...

I tried it ald, cant solve....

Ya, will try it once go back to KL, currently at hometown. thanks!

got 4 RAM slots, maximum 1GB for each slots... So total will be 4GB only...

When i try to run a full scan of virus by Kaspersky, my comp will hang or restart, is tat mean it is not stable enough?

I OC it from 1.86 to 2.33 with the default vcore(1.325) and 2.2 vdimm. Should I increase the vcore? But thr got no problem when i played game(Marvel:Ultimade Alliance), no hang or restart...

I also feel weird when asking such question...
Coz before I OC, i can run kaspersky very smoothly, but after OC, it will hang or restart like wat i said before. So, i assume that it is due to the low vcore problem...

Just prime it but not stable, error occur just for few minutes, i think should be the low vcore problem....
RAM should be ok i think, since i ald set it to 2.2v, timing 5-5-5-15.

I nvr trust what i see from speedfan, it nvr provide me an accurate result....

are u using the stock NB's heatsink?

Biostar T-Utility actually given the lower temperature, if read in coretemp or TAT, the temp should around 71-73C...
Too bad, this mobo cant run TAT at all, coretemp always giving me some errors...

is there any software to read the temperature for the NB and SB?

do u mean u OC by using the stock NB heat sink?
wow, i not dare to do so since i heard some1 said the stock NB heat sink perform so weak, worry it will burn....

everest can give me the correct temp reading jus like coretemp, but the voltage 1 is incorrect at all... Conclusion, i dun use everest as all!
