this seems good.
on xs it reached a good qpi frequency.

After seeing the way the BIOSTAR TPower I45 performed this might be a good outside favourite, looks a tidy board , will certainly look forward to seeing how it performs.

Any news on this John?

I'm talking with Taiwan as I type this. But nothing new really. This is a screenshot done in the lab but don't know anything about it. Trying to get more info now as far as max BCLK and so on.

Well the screenie looks interesting, I wonder what kind of cooling is used there?

Mafio · #16 26-11-2008, 16:36

Cascade. The result is pretty good . It seems on average most chips are only seeing about a 300MHz - 400MHz increase from air to LN2. Kinda levels the playing field for benching until someone latches onto a reprogrammed chip from Intel that has some of the safeguards disabled.

Nothing. We seem to have never got past the shipping soon part. A few others have told me the same thing as far as the boards that were being shipped to them. I'm not even going to hazard a guess as to what might be going on.

Yes, odd that. I can only find a trickle of not very detailed reviews.
