You go right ahead and flame us all WHILE WE ARE ASLEEP!!!! its like 6am here dude, of course we wont reply while we're sleeping....

Well, the HT is running way out of spec, doesnt really matter though, it wasnt making a difference to the clocks. I put a Vantec Iceberg on the northbridge and that didnt seem to make too much of a difference, i reckon the problems are being caused by the temp of the processor, its sitting in a...

Does these Flaky Ethernet problems occur int he 754 version of the board? I've just been to a LAN this weekend and i kept having some real issues with the network dropping out and being real slow most of the time....

Well, in an effort to have some fun with mATX overlclocking, and cos i needed a faster server, i went out and spent 105 quid on a Biostar 754 and a 2800 Sempron.... Paired it with some OCZ EB 3500 Ram and i came up with this, after about an hours playtime with it, installed a new bios, no...

How can you RMA a board which works flawlessly at stock speeds? Motherboards arent guaranteed to overclock, so no bud, i didnt try to rma the board. I just binned the POS.

Yeah, it comes with a bracket that u can use brah.. fire me a text and i'll root thru the box just to make sure.

M4rk, i want him to come in and without spouting his usual crud, just post his best Sandra memory bench and his best CPU bench. Then we can get down to the business of deflating his ego. I'm gonna take my rig to Majormav's house and when GrayMole gets there, we're gonna see what this rig...

With the foxconn, you'll generally hit 280ish, mine was walled at 275, then i dropped the ht multi's to 3 and hit 279. The biostar is hit and miss, big time hit and miss, its yoru call, you might get a Biostar that'll hit 340, but then again you might get one thats walled at 250 like me...

Okay, i for one have had enough with Serge acting like he's an overclocking god. This thread is for people with 939 chips on 6100/410 and 6150/430 boards to post memory bandwidth scores from Sandra. I also would like people to post CPU Arithmetic Benchmark scores from Sandra too. I will...

See my new topic. Lets see what you got man. See if I can beat your scores. I'll only use the CPU's at my disposal, lets see if my "waste of time" 939 shizz can get near to yours.

Serge, its a 939 board, not 754, so shut the hell up man, your persistant ramblings and self gratitification are doing my crust in. You arent an overclocking god, just a lucky guy with proven tech. Shut up and please, leave this thread for those who dont have a head the size of Lake Michigan.

I personally would go for the foxconn. Better southbridge, better chances of overclocking, and better onboard graphics. Its your call, but i'd take the foxconn.... Dubz

Serge, After those beautiful rants, i feel i have to post this now. Its not willy waving, just backing up my dawg Firelord... I learned how to overclock properly under the tutoring of a certain Majormav. Go google that name if you arent familiar with it. You dont get to the top 10 of the...

Did you reformat before moving over? I had a ST20 with a lot of hardware in it, and it performed flawlessly...

Serge, i'm never gonna say 754 is an obsolete socket man.... When my old Clawhammer would do that day in, day out, why would i complain about that bandwidth? 754 is a great socket, its just at the time of my upgrade, 939 was cheap enough for me to buy it and get a good deal on going...

Biggest pile of crap i've ever read. If the hardware wont do it, i doubt OPPainter could get it any higher. Plus, i do love the fact that you're comparing the 754 board, a known good overclocker (Hell my neice can overclock a 754 board, she used to play with my DFI 250gb) with the...

Anything in TCCD flavour is sweet in a 25...

I sent Foxconn an email asking about a fix to my cold boot problems, but all i got back was a short sharp email telling me in no uncertain terms that "We dont offer tech support for overclocking issues" Nice eh? Guess we wont be getting a bios update to fix the few niggly problems... Dubz

Its a sound rig man, my girlie has one with a P4 2.8, a gig of OCZ and a radeon 9800 Pro. She loves it. The PSU is capable of dealing with just about anything... Shuttle PSU's rock.

Not too shabby i think, better than the Biostar for me...

Get the Foxconn, the biostar is hit and miss as to whether you can hit 250. The AsRock i've no idea about, and the MSI has no VCore. The foxconn will sit happy as larry at 275 all day long thru some pretty intense gaming sessions, so your opty should see a decent clock... Dubz

I have 2 friends with them, and they love the design and the airflow. Personally i think its a bit ugly, especially with that dodgey handle on the front, and personally i prefer the Sugo... Supposed to be a good case though, i'm tempted by one for a second machine, but i dont think i'd go for...

Try the Foxconn 6150 board, its pretty sweet and overclocks pretty damned good...

The 250 Watt PSU will run a clocked P4 2.8 (3.52) and a X800XTPE without any problems, so i dont think it'll have too many issues with your setup dude.

I am very happy with this Foxconn. 275x9 is solid as anything ran 3DMark 2001 and Super Pi without crashing, also managed 30 mins of Quake 4. Its a much nicer board than the Biostar one i had. I'd recommend it to anyone, 430 and decent clocking finally within our grasp... Dubz

The biostar wont go over 250 EDIT Well, when myself and 2 of my mates have the same board with the same issues, its hard, especially when so many people are finding the same issues. I guess you guys with the 300fsb boards have just got good ones, and we're stuck with the average...

Just as a final test before the Foxconn gets slammed into my Sugo chassis, i've just tested this mobo with a FX-57 week 16 i borrowed from a friend. Still no boot over 250, nothing, just black screens then resets itself. Tested it with 8 different memory combinations too, all proven ram from...

Sorry Mr Pyjama man, but this Foxconn is a lush board, besides, clocking is for fun, the 430 board is much nicer period.

I found a fix, its called a Foxconn mobo... :P

That would be me then. 6100-939 not 754, hell my old clawhammer used to hit 345 no probs on 754, so that clock he has is nothing special... I just want a decent clock is all, but 240x11 isnt anything to write home about, 250x11 is okay, but i was hoping more for 300x9 or 280x9 for a realisic...

Bullshit. My CPU does 325 in an MSI Neo2, and my ram does 295 at 3,4,4,8 in the same board, so explain to me why i cant get past 250.... I eagerly await your response... Dubz

Are there any NForce 4 mATX boards which classify as halfway decent overclockers? I'm willing to try anything to get 300x9 stable at the moment, but i cannot go back to ATX, i just dont have the space anymore... I'm wondering if its the memory controller on this SD thats the issue... might...

PJ's, i'd love to, but i can get 285 using windows overclocking, and cannot get a single mhz past 250 in bios.... I've had enough, this board is a POS, gonna pick up the Foxconn and wait for DFI. This chunk of crap can go straight in the bin.

The Biostar windows overclocking thing doesnt work for me... just gives me a "O is not a valid integer" popup every second or so... Any ideas how to cure it? This board is about 2 hours from the bin.... Dubz

Yo Sleepeeg, which bios are you running? The B02 doesnt like the windows overclocking thing, i guess the latest revision of the bios will like it though, i've tried so bloody many bioses i've forgotten which is which... I'll flash tonight and try the windows based one, see how high i can get...

Sleepeeg... I'm on Bios B02, the one Mr Busta Posted. Chipset Revision - A2 Board revision - Dunno til i take this rig to bits again... I can get occasional booting at 250, have had 283 with the windows overclocking tool... I want the original shipping Bios as i reckon that one would...

http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=963584&page=1 Try the search function next time dude.... :)

I've tried absolutley everything i can to get the Biostar to clock, and i'm stuck at 250fsb without hope of getting anything over. The only things it can be are mobo/bios or CPU. the CPU will be getting tested on Saturday when i'm at the LAN, a mate is bringin his Neo2 with him, but at the last...

How does the release of a DFI mATX TForce board possibly suck? I'm hvaing MAJOR problems with this Biostar one, so i'm kinda looking forwards to dumping this board and getting a DFI one... The only thing that could possibly stop me is Biostar releasing a bios which allows me to bang out the...

Just recieved an e-mail from DFI Sales confiming what i had heard from a couple of close friends about the release date for the DFI mATX mobo... January.... This email comes direct from the Sales Manager for Taiwan, so i guess we can assume its legit... Guess this Biostar will just have to...
