BIOSTAR Tpower I45

[nefariouscaine]

I'm pretty excited about this board from what I've seen in projected OC reports

I'm soo close to buying this outright but I can't find any solid reviews on the interwebs - if ya got them let me know

I have never owned a Biostar board but I have seen some stellar OCing results with them in recent times on XS- they seem like great budget OC boards! If you are in the market for a new board then I don't see any reason not to go with Biostar, and this TPower I45 looks awesome 612FSB is certainly not lacking.

it's tRD will be set v. high though so high fsb but poor overall performance ...

Sure, but only the High end X48's have adjustable Trd not these budget boards so it's about as good as you'll get. Additionally some users may be using CPU's with lower multipliers in which case fsb overclocking is the only way to go.

once again everything everyone is pointing to is based onthe prerelease - not retail results IIRC - also this was done with a ES Sample of a yet to be released processor - another strike on my questioning if retail boards will perform this way

no one has bought one yet?
