take this lightly but...

IF and only IF i can get us a package deal on a certain mobo that everyone wants....

how many of you would buy one?

a show of hands please

EDIT: stipulation is... you have to buy it sometime within the next 7-10 days.

Isn't this CLASSIFIED information...LOL. I'd be interested, if the price was right.

Fitseries3 · Feb 24, 2009

i cant speak of a price but you have the right idea.

I'm interested, but I NEED to buy this week. I've got a chip with no board, until I make a decision....and I'm very close to pulling the trigger on the Biostar board.

Some early engineering sample and retail results for the Biostar board.

http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=207139

is that a different biostar than the one on newegg?

is that one better than the DFI?

The Haunted · Feb 24, 2009

Its an engineering sample i think..

Fitseries3 · Feb 24, 2009

so anyone down for a

Chicken Patty · Feb 24, 2009

Fit i would love to but im honestly super happy with my un classfied ad. lol.

thats $2200 in video cards there. looks like something i would cook up.

speaking of cooking...

i bet them cards are HOT HOT HOT.. i know mine are roasting

how hot do yours run? what fan setting?

Fitseries3 · Feb 24, 2009

fan at 54% and they run 76c when folding

however...

i put one of my 140mm delta's on them today and temps dropped into the 40's while folding.

kid41212003 · Feb 24, 2009

That's "cool", my single card run 78C while folding. -_-

Chicken Patty · Feb 24, 2009

god damn those deltas can cool FIT!!!

wheres HT at ?

Good job so far, but 1.5v for 4ghz, i think you need to tweak other voltages, thats too much vcore for that clock. I do 4.0 GHz @ 1.305v, raised it a tick to 1.317v for crunching, been crunching away ever since. By the way I raised it in fear of crashing, @ 1.305v i never had a reboot or bsod in about a little over a month.

HT is at the place where proccies run 10C hotter

Thing is, I ticked on a nifty little feature called "Load Line Balancing" just before I made a last test last night. That got me .02-.025 volts more compared to without LLB. I likes.

Concerning voltages, I BSOD'd with:
- CPU @ 200x20, 1.45(BIOS)v
- QPI @ x36, 1.340v
- RAM @ x6, 1.60v
- Uncore @ x13
I might get the IOH/ICH volts up, but I need to figure out what they do before messing with that.

To add to the board discussion, I think my Gigabyte EX58-UD3R does mighty fine.
Though I miss the auto-reset of OC values when boot fails (yeah, spoiled by Asus), but that's about all really.
Might not be a Folding board with just 2 PCI-Ex16 slots, but I don't need that.

Your uncore is way too low, and your vcore is way too high.

You mean the uncore multi? I set it low to make sure that it was stable. Was that wrong?

I feel like such a kiddie again, C2D was so easy to clock up

kid41212003 · Feb 24, 2009

Your uncore frequency and qpi link speed need to be 1:1 or 9:10

At 200 baseclock your qpi link speed is 3600MHz, that's mean your uncore need to be atleast 3200MHz for stability.

Thrackan · Feb 24, 2009

Uncore as close to QPI as possible, check!
Thanks for the tip!

PaulieG · Feb 24, 2009

I just ordered this board to replace my DFI. I was not going to risk another DFI at this point, not with three dead boards from them over the last year.

Awesome, more people will be on the Biostar boat! I have another 2 weeks or so before I can even think about choosing a board. Unless something is seriously a fantastic deal I won't be jumping for it.

Thrackan · Feb 24, 2009

Why can't work be over already? Can't wait to test some of the stuff I read and get a better OC

I was on the fence b/t the Biostar and an MSI Eclipse. After looking at Rebels site and seeing the tremendous support for bios mods and tweaking there, I decided on the Biostar for sure.
