HP COMPAQ Iris8 with Unlocked Overclocking Options

[MethodsOfMayhem]

Well it detects the CPU, that's about it. Once you get into windows it drags worse than a single core because it draw WAY to much from such a measley socket on these boards. I'd stick to 95W and under

okay so the 945 should work just fine? it's a AM3 Phenom II X4 95W

I'm willing to test the 945 chip out if it hasn't been confirmed yet

[TheWiz]

It hasn't been confirmed correct, but I'm confident it will boot and run.

Also, an official documentation wiki has started for all these boards. Please contribute screenshots and any other info you would like.

Here are the testing results from our Support team:

I tested several different OEM-BIOSes befor eI got here. But from that day off it changed my life! Now I tried all the different modded BIOSes for the Elitegroup ECS MCP61P-platform and its OEM-subversions like the MCP61PM-AM for Acer or Gateway/Packard-Bell, the MCP61PM-HM for Hewlett-Packard and the MCP61PM-GM for whoever. I even found a foxconn-version of this board and also this abit whatever TheWiz is talkin' 'bout but just a little later. He was such as fast that I was surprised with a modded version of this BIOS exectly when I wanted to tell him, what I've found!
So I also tried this modded BIOS and I was more than just happy! Some of the other BIOSes had the OC-functions, some the updated proc-support and one of'em crashed because it didn't want to recognized any proc but this one was so surprisingly good, it had both, it was stable and it supported every proc I got for testing...
I have the Acer-version MCP61PM-AM Rev. 1 HT2000 with 4x1 Gb OCZ Value-RAM, NVidia GeForce GTS 250 GX2 2048, Samsung SpinPoint SPN anything 1Tb SATA II HDD and an LG SATA II DVD-RAM-drive (It is a little late here, I was at school to learn for my private pilot license and I'm doing some planning for a party on saturday 13th so forgive me, I do not give it a closer look!).
All the problems I got was the measured TDP-limit of 103 W, in reality it even not gets the 95 W TDP needed for some newer 45nm-AMD-procs. The highest long-time TDP is about 80 W. Think about: Your OS must be able to load the cool'n'quiet-driver to lower the speed/consumption before the PC crashes down and reboots.
At the moment it works fine, fast and stable with an AMD Phenom (I) X4 9500 @ 2400MHz with 72 measured Watts!!!
Here is a list of procs, i tested:
Athlon 64 X2 4200+ (stock installed in Acer Aspire E380 wich was the former source of this board for me!)
Athlon II X2 245 (fast!!)
Athlon II X4 605e (no TDP-Prob, just not really fast!)
Phenom X4 9100 (fast, but not to and not so easy to get one!)
Phenom X4 9500 (the old 65 W TDP-one, really fast!!!)
Phenom X4 9750 Black Edition (slow 'cause of TDP!)
Phenom II X4 925 (no TDP-Prob, just not really fast!)
Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition (slow 'cause of TDP!)

As you can see I have proven the Phenom 9500 is the best value (30751 @ 3DMark Vantage 1.0.2 CPU is great isn't it?) but all of the X2 and X4 will work, eventhough not all do it fast or stable. The procs that weren't fast also weren't stable. They could but they do not have to boot correctly, I think it depends on the transistors, consistors and the power supply whatever you like!

that's pretty sweet but I'll stick with the 945 chip and I'll you guys know if it works or not

Hi im new here I have this mobo and a phenom x3 8650 and also a athlon II x3 440 I tried both processors but the screen stays black I have and older sempron with this motherboard and a little power of one of these processor will we great

there is a possibility that this mother could use these processors ??

[TheWiz]

Honestly both should be working without a hitch. It is possible the above testing results was using one of our updated bioses, but if someone wants to do some testing (possibly me too) i dont see why those can't run.

I tried both and also an athlon II 620 but none of them seem to work when i put the sempron 1150le the system starts. i used the bios posted in the first page of this thread.

maybe there is an updated version ?

[TheWiz]

First send an email to MrTangoWhiskey (email not PM) asking for the version he used to get the CPUs mentioned above working. Meanwhile I will try to make an update to support them.

[Radox]

i send a message to him i try also to use an athlon II 630 same results black screen

[TheWiz]

Then he must have used a modified BIOS because he had that stuff booting just fine. I'll look into it, but try to get a reply from him asap.
