DFI JR P45-T2RS is ABS ready

OC beginners can download ABS file from DFI web for easy system boost After reboot the PC and press F1,

the bus speed will auto upgrade from 266 to 333MHz, 333 to 400MHz.

Some difference between DK P45 and JR P45 in OC setting.

I tried some OC setting and saved as *.abs file, you can download the file via the link below

(Description: Dual-core @ 500MHz/ Default voltage; Dual-core @ 600MHz; Quad-core @ 500MHz; 2GB + 2GB DDRII @ 1133MHz)

When you upgrade the BIOS, please note that ABS file might be failed because of difference between new and old BIOS version.

To compare with the ATX P45 + ICH10R (USD $150~$170), the price of DFI LANParty JR P45-T2RS is acceptable (USD $160).

Most manufacture produced microATX MB with entry-level chipsets, cheap, small and fair performance.

However, DFI breaks the rule,DFI adopt mid-high chipset into microATX and does bring great performance to the market.

Some friends of mine want to build small and powerful system, but it’s very hard to find the MB. Now, DFI offers the solution.

NB 1.45V VTT 1.32V

There are few MBs that could be OC up to 600MHz.

DFI JR P45 does a great job that reaches 600MHz with in microATX form factor.

Q8200 M1

Stable in HyperPI 32M (Dual processors mode) with 500MHz

NB 1.43V VTT 1.4V

Passed Super PI 32M and 2M @ 512.6MHz

NB 1.43V VTT 1.4V

I also got unexpected outstanding result by OC quad-core CPU.

Although it cannot pass 500Mhz 4 X 32M, it’s good enough.

Stable in 3 X SP2004 Blend mode

Memory Benchmark

DFI broke the bias about performance in microATX MB.

The DRAM frequency rose up to 1200MHz by installing 1GB + 1GB; it also performs stable in 1134MHz with installing 2GB + 2GB.

microATX but has Crossfire function is so amazing, it’s good for upgrade system in the future.

If you want a small PC with powerful performance, DFI JR P45-T2RS is the best choice.

There are two BIOS interface in JR P45, “Easy mode” and “Advanced mode”.

You can get into advanved mode by press “F9” in “Genie BIOS setting” page.

Genie BIOS Setting page

For dual-core (C0/E0) overclocking, please set CPU Clock0 Skew as 100ps.

Shutdown after AC loss: fix the “shut down after OC” problem in P45 platform.

DRAM Timing

Generally, you can set 0/0/2 or 3/3/1 to get better performance; if you install Corsair Dominator, you can try 4/4/1.

Voltage page

CPU VID Special Add +12.5mV~787.5mV

Vcore Droop Control: help to fix the “voltage drop” problem.

CPU/North Bridge GTL REF: there are some difference between different CPU (such as C0/ E0/ C1/ R0)

I often input 0.63/0.67/0.61 or 0.61/0.61/0.61

FSB Verf: New option in BIOS page. Make user to OC FSB more. (For E0 dual-core, please select 28 or 29)

In hi-end market, the only one choice in LGA775 is “X48”, and X58 will be the next performance king.

Almost all P45 MB in the market are designed with “ATX” form factor, it’s hard to find an “O.C.” MB in microATX world.

I hope G45 will change the situation; however, according to my experience, the OC potential may not good enough.

What we are talking about in this article is DFI LANParty JR series, which embedded with “P45+ICH10R” and “Crossfire Reday!”

About package

DFI brings completely different design into JR package, more vivacious than before.

DFI put a label on the box that describes “Intel OC power off issue fixed!”
