ECS P45T-A (Intel P45)
Overclocking and stability
Prior to moving to overclocking, let's look into the power converter. It uses a 4-phase power scheme, in which there are four 270 mkF and seven 820 mkF capacitors.
Now on to the overclocking features.

ECS P45T-A |
| Multiplier adjustment |
- |
| FSB adjustment |
within (200) 333 to 700 MHz (1 MHz) |
| Vcore adjustment |
within +0 to +0.328 V (~0.04-0.05 V) |
| Vmem adjustment |
within 1.85V to 2.4V (0.05V -0.025V) |
| Vdd adjustment |
- |
| Vsb adjustment |
- |
| Vtt adjustment |
- |
| PCI-E adjustment |
within 100 MHz to 200 MHz (1 MHz) |
To test the overclocking, we used the well-proven specimen of CPU Intel E6550 which is able running at FSB=550 MHz with the nominal multiplier and the Vcore=1.55V. Normally, when determining the board's capability we reduce the CPU multiplier to attain higher FSB speeds in the "lite" mode. But ECS P45T-A does not support the feature for multiplier adjustment. Nor it allows for raising voltage on the north bridge. In the end, we recorded quite middling results: a stable operation at FSB=460 MHz.
