Biostar provides the TP45 HP broad enough voltage and frequency controls to get the best performance out of most parts, and our overclock tests will show how stable these settings are.
The TP45 HP’s overclocking menu contains CPU clock speed and multiplier, boot strap, and DRAM ratio settings, with several sub-menus providing advanced options.
The DRAM timings sub-menu provides all the important controls, but using automatic (SPD) values is an “All or Nothing” situation as individual settings don’t have the automatic option. The TP45 HP couldn’t keep our Crucial Ballistix memory stable at DDR2-1066 CAS 5-5-5-15 (2.2 Volts), so we were forced to test it at a similar-performing DDR2-800 CAS 4-4-4-12.
The Clock Gen sub-menu provides PCI Express frequency, skew control, and CPU clock drive strength control.
The TP45 HP’s Voltage submenu has all the needed settings for a stable overclock, except that the southbridge 1.1V line is tied to northbridge voltage.
Like most other performance motherboard makers, Biostar can store custom BIOS settings in one of several profiles, handy for quickly returning to a previous set of timings, clocks and/or voltages.

Wait, i think i missed the conclusion... what was the conclusion.....or am i just silly !?
Great review any who, i have been waiting for one of these. I would say go for the P5Q Deluxe!!!!!!!!11
the old E6xx CPU is not good enough to explore the FSB of the new P45 chipset. i seen better review then this in term of hardware. there should be at least a dual core 45nm processor and a 45nm quad processor.
sigh....tom's been lazy with hardware update!
I assume it is a mistake that says the P45 platinum from MSI has an X48 chipset?
so waht about a decent conclusion something like, are these boarfds worth the extra cash over a P35 chipset variant, everything tells me they offer little incentive over the P35, thoughts anyone?
Hello?
Uhm .. 45nm!?
I agree, test with a better (new) CPU(s) 45nm Dual/Quad.
That would be really interesting. This probably means alot to someone that owns the E6xx series CPU which i doubt someone buy if they buy a P45 board.
Methinks Tom has a bit of biassed attitude favouring Asus tbh
