TPower i45 Software And Accessories

by

Biostar’s TPower2 OC Tweaker utility puts a different face on the same features found with its less expensive TP45 HP.

Voltage and CPU FSB controls are the same, but why would Biostar think this interface was better?

Fan speeds can be monitored and altered from a second menu.

A third menu allows updating BIOS from within Windows, a method which we were afraid to try.

Problem reports can be sent directly to Biostar Support for assistance.

Accessories
Documentation & Software Motherboard Manual
Motherboard Driver CD
Hardware 1x Supplemental Chipset Cooler w/Fan
6x SATA Data Cable
1x I/O Panel Shield
1x 80-conductor Ultra ATA cable
6x 4-Pin to SATA Power Adapter
1x S/P-DIF Breakout Plate (Optical, Coaxial)

Biostar includes enough cables in its installation kit to build a fairly elaborate system, adding its supplemental VRM/Chipset cooler for good measure. The included 70x15mm fan is a Tranyoung model 7015H12S, rated at 36CFM, 3800RPM, and 37 decibels.

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.
