kifni43 — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 08:49:10 +0000

DFI was known as one of the best manufacturer of motherboard, moreover for overclocking users DFI claimed as one of the best motherboard for overclocking. Some motherboard that considered as overclocking motherboad is non-onboard graphics controller motherboard, but DFI also produced on-board graphics controller motherboard. That’s not NVidia or ATI, but the Intel as the 2nd class graphics controller product. Maybe DFI provide for users that doesn’t need 1st calss graphics cotrolller, that’s also caused a lower prices. DFI G41-T33 is one of the DFI product that used Intel Graphics Controller.

DFI G41-T33 Blood Iron used G41 intel Chipset, the next generation of Intel G31 Chipset. Intel GMA X4500 that support DIrectX 10 as the one of motherboard with Blood Iron Series. This Motherboard supprted by PCI-Express 16x slot, that’s possible to upgrade with the graphics card with higher performances.

The G41-T33 Blood Iron used LGA775 socket and supported Intel Core 2 Duo and also Core 2 Quad processor. In addition, this motherboard completed with dual slot DDR-3-1066 memory.

Nvidia: nForce Chipset Better Than Intel

kifni43 — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:15:00 +0000

Nvidia has claimed that the nForce chipset is “better” than Intel. A company spokesman also criticized the USB chip manufacturer allegedly delaying the introduction 3 until 2011.

“Nvidia nForce chipsets usually have full innovative features, even better than Intel’s own chipsets. [For example], Nvidia has redefined Ion netbook category “, as what has been described Nvidia spokesman Brian Burke said in a statement e-mailed recently.

“After all these news also has been widely reported that Nvidia will not make any new chipset for Intel platforms with Intel until the dispute resolved.”

According to Burke, many of the innovations on the PC platform that comes from chipset technology.

“We also has learned that Intel is delaying introducing USB 3 to the next 2011 years. With no competition in the chipset, Intel seems to have decided that innovation is not needed for USB in the near future, “Burke said. “With no one to encourage Intel to innovate, the remaining PC enthusiasts with the Intel chipset and its features and performance they provide”.

MSI Eclipse SLI Review : All 3 Features

kifni43 — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 06:13:00 +0000

The presence of Intel Core i7 that at this time can only be used on the motherboard with the Intel X58 chipset changed the “war” of motherboard. Previously, the war of motherboard more concentrated on Intel P45 Chipset motherboard, but after the Core I7 presence, the war of motherboard shifted to Intel X58 Chipset Motherboard. MSI as the manufacturer of motherboard follow this “X58 War”, one of the motherboard relased by MSI is MSI Eclipse SLI.

MSI Eclipse SLI use Intel X58 an ICH10R CHipset that supprted Intel COre i7 Extreme processors. This motherboard equpped with 6 slot of DDR3-1600(OC) memory that supported triple channel cofiguration. This motherboard can accomodate DDR3 Memory Clock until 1600 MHz on Overclock Condition and 1333 MHz on normal condition. The Maximum RAM Capacity that can be accomodate on this motherbiard is 24 GB.

MSI Eclipse SLI equipped with 3 slots of PCIe x16 and supported with AMD ATi CrossfireX and and NVidia SLI, 3 slots of PCIe x16 can make triple Crossfire or triple SLI with install 3 pieces dual slot Graphics card. That’s amazing, isn’t it?.

MSI Eclipse SLI also provide overclocking facilities. There are 6 sets of CPU Power Phase and 4 sets of Chipset power phase. Actually that’s not awesome. Allthough MSI only provide 6 sets CPU phase but MSI provide good cooler system solution. There are heatsink that equipped with 2 line of heatpipe.

Biostar TPower I45 Review

kifni43 — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 08:36:00 +0000

Biostar is one of the computer hardware manufacturer based in taiwan. Biostar produced motherboard and VGA Card. Biostar products known for quality but with cheaper price. One of the moterboard that produced by Biostar is Biostar TPower i45. I own this motherboard. I use this motherboard on my computer.

Biostar launched TPower i45 after Intel launches P45 chipset. Biostar TPower I45 use FSB (Front Side Bus) up to 1600 Mhz, it’s supported Wolfdake and Yorkfield Intel processor generation . This motherboard use DDR2 Memory with up to 1066 MHz frequency (normal condition) and up to 1200 Mhz frequency (overclock condition). There are 4 slot of DDR2 Memory with dual channel mode and support up to 16 GB of memory.

Crossfire Support
One of the typical range TPower is the use of jumpers on the red area around the expansion slots. Eight of jumpers are used to enable CrossFire mode. However, it’s quite difficult, because the motherboard in another process takes place automatically without using jumpers.

Overclockers Button
For additional features, Biostar TPower I45 include power and reset buttons for users that usually work when not using the PC casing. There is also a debug LED light that functions diagnose system if an error occurs while booting. However clear CMOS buttons that are usually used by overclockers not included.

Hybrid Space-Pipe
For overclockers, the temperature becomes hot about the scourge. To solve this problem, Biostar TPower I45 included a fan to be named the Hybrid Space-Pipe. Fan is used as an alternative to adequate before you switch enthusiastic cooler.

Overcloking Software
TPower Series features include monitoring and tweaking of the hardware and software. On the software side, Biostar include application TPower2. In it there is option 4 with the main function of the OC tweaking to do the overclocking in the operating system, eHot-Line for services online, BIOS-watch to monitor the system, and Biostar Flash to update BIOS.

AMI BIOS
Biostar TPower I45 used AMI BIOS that is popular, there are overclocking features on the ONE (Overclocking Navigator Engine) with auto and manual options. To maintain the possibility of damage to the BIOS, such recovery is also included with the name of Self Recovery System (SRS). This system will work if the overclock failed, and the configuration will automatically return to the default position. Convenience is also a BIOS update the value to be important features of the Biostar with BIO-Flasher. This feature allows to update the BIOS flash disk. Do not forget there are also features of the CMOS reloading program that is capable of saving up to 10 different configurations.
Overclock
From the results of the test that, I able to increase the processor’s default FSB 266MHz to 480MHz. When I try the Intel core2duo E8400 (3 GHz), I successfully raise the clock speed to reach 4 GHz Increased high enough this indicates that this motherboard is strong and stable. Moreover, my method is quite simple overclock, so for the extreme overclockers still able to perform higher overclocking because the support options of that BIOS is complete.
