HI04 BIOS And Overclocking

by

BIOS Frequency and Voltage settings (for overclocking)
FSB Frequency Stock-700 MHz (1 MHz)
Clock Multiplier Adjustment Yes
DRAM Ratios 1.0, 1.2, 1.25, 1.5, 1.67, 2.0
PCIe Clock 100 - 200 MHz (1 MHz)
CPU Vcore Stock - +0.750 Volts (0.05 Volts)
CPU FSB Voltage Stock - +120.09% (1.905%)
Northbridge (MCH) 1.125 - 2.256 Volts ( 0.0175 Volts)
Southbridge (ICH) 1.50 - 3.031 Volts ( 0.0235 Volts)
DRAM Voltage 1.85 - 3.285 Volts ( 0.0255 Volts)
CAS Latency Range tCAS: 3-10; tRCD: 3-10; tRP: 3-10; tRAS: 9-24

Jetway includes all the settings that most overclockers are likely to use, with adequate frequencies and voltage ranges. We prefer actual voltage settings, rather than plus or minus values, however, and are especially annoyed when forced to calculate percentages to reach our voltage goals.

The HI04 Overclock menu is just over one page long, with settings for CPU multiplier, FSB clock, and key voltage levels.

A DRAM timings sub-menu contains the most frequently adjusted latencies.

Three BIOS configurations can be saved for later retrieval using the User OC Profile utility. These value remain stored even if BIOS is “Cleared”, allowing overclockers to get back to a workable setting after a failed boot attempt.

One other thing we noticed about Jetway BIOS is that its “Onboard Device Function” menu must be entered to enable “USB Storage Legacy Support”, which is disabled by default. We updated BIOS from a bootable USB flash drive after enabling this feature.

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
