Biostar Tpower I45 or?

[Pilky01]

Jumpers, to change from single PCI-e gfx card (16x) to crossfire mode (two 8x). Most other P45 boards do this auto-magically using some kind of digital switch, but Biostar apparently skimped on that and spent the money elsewhere (and it shows)

Thanks, i was looking at the pictures and couldnt figure out what they were and it was really annoying me.

im looking to order one of these in the next few days is there many of you using them now? and how are you finding it also most importantly hows the oc'ing going? higher than your previous board?

Just ordered one from a well known auction site and the seller got one out of the warehouse and tested it with a processor similar to mine (p4 3.4ghz) so he could be sure it would work then rushed around so it would arrive with me for tomorrow! amazing service ill let you know how the Over clock goes on this old timer

It's a bit overkill for a P4 is'nt it?

haha yer maybe i plan to upgrade soon but i needed a new mobo since my asus p5n32 sli plus has died so cpu needed to wait

i wounder how fast a water cooled p4 can go

I hastely ordered one today, not realising it was the TP45 HP, NOT to the Tpower (which was £30 dearer)

I don't think the TP45 HP will be worth it over my Neo2-FR, especially as the board loves high fsbs, and E5200s have pretty low fsb walls...

I made that mistake also but contacted the seller and added the extra before it was sent.

My board stopped booting last week (think it might have been bios related) but i've got a new one now.
