Biostar TF560 A2+ - Overclocking NVIDIA’s New nForce 560

The actual specification for the nForce 560 chipset is available from NVIDIA. The short story is that the nForce 560 is designed for the mainstream market with a motherboard price target in the $70~$80 range. The nForce 560 offers an expanded feature set over the nForce 520 and 550, including GPU Optimizations for the GeForce 7300GT, 7600GS and 8500GT cards, FirstPacket network technology, and the addition of RAID 5 capability. In terms of I/O features, the nF560 offers four SATA 3Gb/s ports, two PATA ports, one GigE port, ten USB 2.0, and up to four PCI Express slots (1×16,3×1).

..We firmly believe the nF560 chipset on this particular Biostar board will more than satisfy the overclocking appetites of most AMD users. While it doesn’t offer the absolute performance or features of the more expensive nF590/570 SLI products, the Biostar TF560 A2+ does provide fairly impressive overclocking capabilities for under $80. In fact, its ability to maintain a stable HTT setting of 350 puts it in the same overclocking company as the majority of those nF590/570 SLI boards. The BIOS tuning options do not match those of an ASUS CrossHair as an example, but the majority of options needed to properly tune the chipset and memory are available.
