check ur ram..how many sticks ur using? try one stick..

hi can teach me how to update the BIOS of this mobo n how to check the BIOS version ya..I noe can update thru the software tools,but I fear la to update BIOS within windows environment coz last time I did,i need to RMA my mobo

any help would be highly appreciated thanks =)

download the bios from the website, den put in pendrive, and put all the files required..read the manual and den u can flash the bios easily thru bios..nvr ever use windows to flash..very very dangerous

btw...biostar bios is always in date form...guess the latest wan is the only bios released after the first bios...only one bios is available in tpower website

Anyone try the latest beta bios from Biostar?

hi guys.. i own tht mobo too.. rev 5.1..
im currently using E6600ES and onli manage to OC to 3.2GHZ.. unstable in orthos after 14minutes.. idle temp up to 62C and full load around 70C under Tt bigtyphoon with vcore 1.328... is it normal? i means the temperature..

Btw..i decide to upgrade my proc.. by using this board...q6600 or E8x00 which one should i buy? which one has better oc ability? which one u guys recommend me to buy? gonna change to hyper 212 oso..

my current spec:
BiostarTpower i45
E6600ES
Tt big typhoon
CM real power 550w, corsair gaming ram 2Gb x2(s*cks ram)

Thanks for advise.. nid answer quickly..hehe

get E8400 E0 bro... 4ghz stable...

better consider other cooler like sunbeam ccf or xigmatek hdt 1283...hyper 212 performance not good enuf...

if u wanan oc, play e8400 lo

imho, big typhoon is better den hyper 212...and i really wouldnt consider getting hyper 212...

if u convert movies alot, take quaddie...gaming alot...take c2d

reli? but my E6600ES idle 62C under bigtyphoon le.. i dun think i wrongly install the bigtyphoon becoz i try to uninstall and install it many times.. but temp still same.. hyper 212 reli tht sucks? i can get it with cheap price thts y im thinkin to get it..

hyper 212 meh? better look for 2nd hand xigmatek hdt1283 or ccf lo

so if hyper 212 vs bigtyphoon which one is better?

i personally still perfer big typhoon...urs is vx version?

nope mine nt TX version...

btw wan ask.. the CPU TM function in cpu bios setttings of tpower i45 do i hav to disable it when OC? becoz if i enable it i can boot into windows without any prob @ 3.2GHZ on E6600 v1.328, but the multiplier tht shown in CPU-z will keep change.. sometimes 6 sometimes 8. SuperPI result is 19sec in 1m

But when i disable it, boot into vista seems hard to me.. when i successful boot to vista.. i check cpu-z and the multiplier FIXED ... and superPI reseult is 14sec in 1m.. but most of the time i cant boot into windows.. it stuck at the loading bar of vista..

so guys.. do i reli hav to disable the TM function when OC? or juzz let it ON? but if i enable TM function the performance seems weaker than TM disable.. giv some advise guys!!

u can prevent the auto downclocking by disabling C1E and Intel Speedstep... TM or thermal management will downclock ur processor when the temperature goes too high.. instability of ur system will also affect the superpi results... hope that helps

Halo fellows~
i oso got Tpower i45 wif Q8200 here
jz wan 2 ask is it same as the method 2 oc C2D ??

yea..juz the same..guess it needs more vcore den c2d since its a quaddie

woo...been using this board for like 6 months. lol...now trying to learn how to OC this beast. But the C2D OC is too much diff from K8. LOL...i am a noob again.

any place to start looking for OC basic or guide for this board?
btw, can i run the ram at 1066Mhz (just OC the ram, rated at 5-5-5-18, 2.2V 1066mhz)) and leave the other settings untouched (think my proc speed is sufficient for now. )? i tried once but the system locked up, haha..have to clear CMOS to get a post. any tips for noob? thanks!

this mobo kinda picky in terms of ram..

try 500fsb and c..

this board is one of my fav...its a very easy board to oc...

the only thing that this mobo is good is LOW VCORE WHEN OC! the rest are crap. crap mobo. indeed
