    "Unofficial" Biostar TForce 550 Thread

    This is an old thread, I know, but this may be a new solution to an old problem :-) Certainly applicable to other boards too, I bet. When I built this rig, I thought I had reached the CPU/board FSB limit when I began to encounter blue screens. Mostly at startup, but also during normal work...

    "Unofficial" Biostar TForce 550 Thread

    The most I measure with both cores fully loaded is a consistent 45 C, using Biostar's included monitoring software (everything else gives goofy readout, IMO). I'm using a single 92mm fan at rated voltage/rpm, but I'm waiting on another fan to run both in a 'push/pull' arrangement, tied into the...

    Thanks for the info and the link to the AMD Bios settings and explanations. Up and running without a hitch. VERY narrow sweet spot, however: Brisbane 3600 and Patriot 'Extreme' DDR2-800 run perfectly stable at 9.5 x 292 (533 divider), but it's hoseville at 295 (won't boot). Questions not...

    "Unofficial" Biostar TForce 550 Thread

    Hi I appreciate this thread, and I could use some advice (as could many others, I'm sure, due to the popularity of this board). I used to be a 'power user' and have built/tweaked many systems, but I got into building custom bikes a couple years back and have been 'out of the loop'. I'm...
