I reaaaaaaaaaly want to get my XP-90 running, been so long, but this stock cooler rocks. 18s superPI...i LOVE THIS THING.

Give it more!!!!! you still have a full 10C to play with

Man I am so sick of the haters... "Bah my P5N32-E does 500FSB easy"

Well so would this board, with that CPU...

People just don't get that it's not the board limiting 450+ FSB... it's the freakin chip. Certain steppings and what not allow 500+FSB...

Good job on the OC Kopi...

Thanks.

According to shipping, April 15th.

The max OC will begin. Waiting for my mounting device for my cooler, stock atm.

Pook had a Biostar board and he ran 515 fsb, now he can only get 470, he doesnt like the board i dont think

Boards very Kops.
From what you've been posting you got a good board out of the lot.
When you get your bracket in, find your max FSB and post it.

No one but you can do what you're claiming, so I wanna see.

Not true. My chip is proven at 515FSB at least (Biostar 965PT) and this board is not stable past 480.

FSB plays a very important role in overclocking, if the FSB isn't stable, you get RAM errors, CPU errors, graphical errors, slower than stock performance, etc. It's nasty and its hard to figure it out since 90% you end up treating the "symptoms." ("Oh, my RAM gives error, more volts. Oh, still unstable, maybe my CPU. More volts." , etc etc.)

Saying this board can do 500+ FSB may be possible, but it is far from common.

And with that, getting something to eat, and going to sleep.

*edit*
0505.

It is quirky I know. But I am sure you can get back to 515.

[The Pook]

With this BIOS? No.
Posts at 480, BSOD during POST.
Posts at 475, Windows errors, Orthos fails, but still stable enough to use.

Going to downgrade to 0401 over Spring Break to try again, but I doubt that'd help any.

And I do like this board. Stable as hell, cheap (not as cheap as the Biostar, though), and doesn't break constantly when pushed. (Biostar *cough*) Just not a fan of the 475 cap I have.

Yeah i think pook kinda got a dud, just like chips. How much does the Biostar run for?
