» MEDIA (5) The CPU used for this contest The system I used for the competition The validation screenshot - the link is in the blog The result....I have a better one but valid is corupted After bench

I have used Biostar TPower I45 for extensive benching under LN2, and I can say without mistaking that it is a great overclocking board. It has everything I need for extreme benching, giving me the ability to push the CPU close to it's max due to the huge FSB this board can give, and it also gives me the ability to overclock the RAM to the limit. Did I say I am in love with this board?

My benching platform:

E8600 Q820A599 + F1EE @ -165oC w 2v @ 6316.15MHz
Biostar TPower I45 + NB pot @ -60oC / 1.55 vNB / 1.45 vTT / 1.5 vPLL
2x1GB Crucial Ballistix DDR2 PC8000 w 2.85v @ 631MHz 4-4-4-4
WD Raptor 74GB
PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610W


My results

Validation = 6316.15MHz - http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=422746

SuperPI 8M = 1.43.375

Score = 61.099

Unfortunately I didn't have enough time to use software tweaks, I just relayed on the way in which this great motherboard overclocks RAM. Hopefully, I will seriously improve my performance in the second round, if I make it :)
