I started testing this m/b today evening.
Here are some provisinal results .....
1) The max HTT is limited to 274 Mhz with these newer bios. beyond 274HTT the m/c does not boot even.
to go above 274 we need to flash some hacked older bios files which i will do later tonight.
The above is @ 274 Mhz HTT, 1:1 fsb /mem ratio i.e. memory too @ 274 Mhz but sadly at T2 settings since i could do T1 till only 260HTT.
Score is reasonably good for such a low cost board.
Cpu is the 144 opty. Rams are GEIL ONE TCCD.
H/S stock 3000+ cpu one.....
2)
The above is with AMD64 3000+ cpu @ 270 HTT.
The Memory is my old and trusted CH-5 OCZ @ 221 mhz @ 2-3-3-6 settings. Clock divider of 5:6 was used i.e. in the bios the memory speed was set @ 166 MHZ.
For both the cpu i had raised the Vcore to 1.45V which is the max allowed with this bios. Tomorrow might do the VID pins mods to get around 1.55V which should be sufficient for the opty 144.
Tomorrow i will post some more pics with the TT BT h/s over it. since this m/b does not come with a m/b socket backplate will have to scavenge one from some other m/b.
currently trying ways and means of taking this higher and testing general stability issues....
Will write a Mini review of sorts (if XT helps in rephrasing and editing it , removing grammatical errors etc...
hyeah: )
Edit: here is a current screenie....

and can you push it further with your hacked bios or is this the max ?
