P45TS-R BIOS And Overclocking
| FSB Frequency | 100 to 800 MHz (1 MHz) |
| Clock Multiplier Adjustment | Yes |
| DRAM Ratios | 1.0, 1.2, 1.25, 1.5, 1.60, 1.67, 2.0 |
| PCIe Clock | 50 to 150MHz (1 MHz) |
| CPU Vcore | 0.81875 to 1.60 Volts (0.00625 Volts) |
| CPU FSB Voltage | Low, Middle, High, Highest |
| Northbridge (MCH) | Low, Middle, High, Highest |
| Southbridge (ICH) | Low, Middle, High, Highest |
| DDR2 Voltage | 1.79 - 2.72Volts (0.06 Volts) |
| DDR3 Voltage | 1.47 - 2.40Volts ( 0.06 Volts) |
| DDR2 Latency Settings | tCAS:3-7; tRCD: 3-10; tRP: 3-10; tRAS: 9-24 |
| DDR3 Latency Settings | tCAS:5-10; tRCD: 3-10; tRP: 3-10; tRAS: 9-24 |
The P45TS-R has all the BIOS settings we liked about the P45R2000-WiFi, along with the vague FSB, MCH, and ICH settings we didn’t. Once again, extreme overclockers won’t appreciate the 1.60V core limit, but this motherboard isn’t designed for the “at any cost” crowd.
The P45TS-R BIOS Overclocking menu has most of the features found in the CPU menu of ASRock’s other model, plus memory timings.
Scrolling down reveals voltage settings as well, which can be increased to enhance overclocking stability or decreased to reduce power and heat in an under-clocked system.
The Chipset menu looks like that of ASRock’s other entry, with memory speed and redundant timing settings.
Further down the Chipset menu are onboard device controls.
At the bottom of the Chipset menu are voltage controls, which are again redundant to those found in the Overclocking menu.
Do any end users actually adjust RCOMP Strength? The settings were probably put here to bolster the motherboard’s overclocking aspirations.
DRAM Skew controls are also probably just here for show, though anyone who really understands them might be able to get a slightly higher memory speed, or added performance, using these.

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
