P45T-A BIOS And Overclocking

by

BIOS Frequency and Voltage settings (for overclocking)
FSB Frequency Stock-700 MHz (1 MHz)
Clock Multiplier Adjustment Yes
DRAM Ratios DDR2-667, DDR2-800
PCIe Clock 100 - 200 MHz (1 MHz)
CPU Vcore Stock - +0.328 Volts ( 0.05 Volts)
CPU FSB Voltage Not Adjustable
Northbridge (MCH) Not Adjustable
Southbridge (ICH) Not Adjustable
DRAM Voltage 1.85 - 2.40 Volts (0.05 Volts)
CAS Latency Range tCAS: 3-10; tRCD: 3-10; tRP: 3-10; tRAS: 9-24

There’s not much to see in the P45T-A’s overclock menu, and most of the settings that exist are restrictive. We couldn’t even select DDR2-1066, and changing the memory timings to anything but the defaults prevented the system from booting. Thus, the ECS P45T-A is the only motherboard in this comparison to be tested at both lower speed (DDR2-800) and higher latency (CAS 5-5-5-15), and it’s fair to do so because those are the only settings that worked.

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
