arghh... i think i bought the buggy 1 out of 1000 TPOWER I45 here..
I try to run CF on this mobo with HIS HD 3870 + Gecube 3870 Turbo 3. But there's NO CF AT ALL. still running as single card.
Solution done so far:-
Switch all JPE1 - JPE9 (Crossfire Switch Jumpers) from 1-2 to 2-3 as instructed in the manual.
my GPU-Z detect "ATI Crossfire Disable" but at the same time: GPU-Z detect my Bus Interface: PCI-E 2.0 x16 @ x8 2.0 which is as explain by biostar this 2 pci-e 16x will run at x8 when crossfire enable.
My 2nd GPU oso very cold seem like no activities at all.
help help help aaa sifoo sifoo here...
TQ in Advanced..

» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « QUOTE(ben_panced @ Sep 15 2008, 05:36 PM)  here hope this helps The problem is.. There are NO CROSSFIRE below the ATI Overdrive menu.. uwaaaa... seems like my CF setup couldn't recognize by BIOS itself. anyone trying CF with this mobo? mind to share your experience? For your information, i trying to sweep between these 2 cards to the primary slot and both of them running fine and perfectly. i think there is something worng with the secondary slot there.

QUOTE(Cyclone87 @ Dec 10 2008, 08:32 PM) Erm i going to install RAID 0 on my I45 tomorrow. But during window installation, do i need to install additional driver? I cant find any sata RAID driver for the installation process. The window to be install will be Vista 64bit. Browse your Driver CD. It was there.

i think this mobo is very selective on RAM. i cant boot at DDR2 1100mhz with my 2x1GB OCZ 9600 2.1V (1200MHZ). Need to run with single stick (1GB). it even cant reach 1200MHZ with single stick. I wonder if my ram is faulty or this board.. any one try OCZ 1200MHZ with this board?
i start thinking to sell either my mobo or RAM.. hahhahah

Anyone can justify this _weird_ temperature detection? I'm happy with the temperature but afraid if either my board or processor wrongly detecting the temp.. thank you. Full LOAD
As you can see in OCCT reading, each core are : 71/71/68/68 BUT the CPU is 51. is that correct? Idle
When idle, 52/54/51/51 and CPU is 30. This post has been edited by dee_death: Feb 19 2009, 10:31 AM
