BIOSTAR TPower I45 Motherboard Breaks FSB World Record

[MAC]

In the hands of Youngpro, the BIOSTAR TPower I45 motherboard set an FSB world record by reaching an amazing 725Mhz:

"BIOSTAR Microtech Int'l Corp., a professional manufacturer of motherboards announces that a well-known overclocker nicknamed Youngpro broke FSB world record with 725MHz using TPower I45 Motherboard. Youngpro, who is based in Australia, first reached 685MHz, but then trumped his own record by using LN2 and broke the FSB world record by climbing to as high as 725MHz. He also managed to get his CPU up and running at a stunning 6GHz frequency. Below is the CPU-Z validation link of the latest FSB world record:

At the same time, other overclockers worldwide use TPower I45 to challenge O.C. limitation targeting current world record. Such as Belgian Pt1t , who was the first to reach FSB 645MHz with air-cooling, but then he lowered the temperature and reached respectable FSB 675MHz and a peak clock of 6GHz with one core enabled. Thus, BIOSTAR TPower I45 is the world-class solution for overclockers. BIOSTAR TPower I45 is an amazing motherboard that offers more than you could imagine."

Damn us Aussies are the best at everything and he had 1Gb of Crucial PC2-6400 love my RAM.

Just becareful with LN2 don't get any of it on your hands if you manage to reach that level of overlocking. As far as the board goes if this becomes widely popular I think we can expect most people to jump on the biostar bandwagon and will probably see a few boards here.

As far as looks goes, somewhat a unique design I quite like the heatpiped aircooling device on the VRMs and the layout seems pretty clean can easily fit two HD4780 in crossfire with soundcard room to spare.

Somebody care to tell me what those red jumpers are all about? PCI-E lane switching?

[bojangles]

The layout of this board is awesome. But SKYMTL, I have no idea whatsoever what those red things are. I even checked their website and it doesn't say anything. Maybe it's BIOS settings jumpers so that you have like 8 different configs?

[Master-Spud]

Read some where else they are jumpers, my guess would be to set X-Fire mode... Had to do that on my old DFI mobo, kinda a pain, but really only need to set it once... maybe twice...

[Eldonko]

Yeah killer FSB clocker, saw a couple >700FSB

[BALISTX]

The jumpers are to set Crossfire mode like the old DFI LanParty's for SLI
