Very very nice :eek:

[the-strokes]

congrats m8..very nice chip,
and also nice to see p5k vanilla still rocks with wolfdale :up:

[4Qman]

very impressive.,

Nice CPU and nice Ram :clap: Oh and nice Motherboard :) The vanilla PK5 always amazes me.

But i don't like the VR's being too far away from the soldering points. Keep them closer. There is a lot going on and they will pickup interference.

But hey doesn't look to have held you back :up:

Vanilla is the choise on LN2 !
I have good experience with the VR's far away from soldering points.
On QX9650 this Setup performs good as well.

ah now i see it sub 8 seconds congrats!

nice one, did you compare max fsb on air vs ln2 ?

[monteboy]

max fsb on water 580 / Spi1m stable ;)
VID : 1,0500V :eek:

lucky guy :) ;)

[4Qman]

I have same VID on a e8500 but has COLD BUG :(

[SIOUX]

jebus...what a chip :slobber: makes me feel like selling my qx9650 and get 4 of those for testing instead lol :)

[giorgadzed]

Cool...

Nice shot...

[symphy]

Very nice run. Great FSB on wolfdale :). Did you gain anything by disabling one core through windows?

Keep the good work up!

[lukas69]

Amazing cpu
great frequency

[xwards]

nice cpu :toast:

[giraffen]

That is a very impressive Sp1m:shocked:

[M.Beier]

Impressive frequency, I'd expect 0.15-0.2s faster 1M though :\

[monteboy]

Impressive frequency, I'd expect 0.15-0.2s faster 1M though :\

That's right, but not with a Multi of 9 :D
An older Bios is faster but you can't use half multis.
And this is the main advantage of QX for SPI1M performance , you can see it here :

[xexish]

Very nice

}{

[CCUABIDExORxDIE]

very impressive result

i think running with 2 cores enabled instead of 1 will lower your spi time.

[D0m|nat0R]

Bravo :yepp: :worship:
Nice cip

[pippo369]

Very nice CPU! :shocked:

[Blasar]

Man, i don´t know where to start... great CPU and FSB, SPI is not bad :D

Is 6GHz feasible? I know that it could be demanding too much of the old vanilla, but can she make it? ;)

[lazy]

great clocks there monte

you think you'll be able to push it further?

[monteboy]

great clocks there monte
you think you'll be able to push it further?

Who knows ? One more LN2 session is planned.
We will see , i have some ideas to push it further:)

[SeLecT]

Nice result! :D

I will see the results from the next session... to play to long with the cat :D

[SoF]

some great results again from you - i think one of the few who made sub8s on quad and dual core already :toast:

[K.J.]

Bravo ...

When you want to sell it ,tell me .... please ...

[MuffinFlavored]

I love the motherboard mods. Just fun to look at.

Great job.
I think we will be seeing 6GHz soon.

[Hyperhorn]

Well done :clap:
What a pity about efficiency lost. :(
Did you test max clock?

[monteboy]

It's realy pity!
I didn't test max clock.

[bf2142lol]

Respect bro. I admire your effort. What do you suppose your max stable would be on good WCing, maintaining respectable temps?

[4Qman]

Did you test max FSB under air?

Thank you

[monteboy]

Did you test max FSB under air?

Thank you

CPU-Z validation : 603 MHz
SPi1M : 580 MHz

Impressive chip altough...

Keep pushing it.

[Astri]

monteboy congratz for those impressive clocks! :clap:

Can you please tell me what bios version you using on P5K? I played a bit yesterday with my QX9650 and im facing really big problems using the latest bios (0902). After 1.76v things getting crazy :confused:

For Spi1M you should use Bios 603 :) , your CPU will not be recognized but it's faster for spi1m.

For Spi32M you should try 803 :)

[ebh]

Sorry if I'm being offtopic, but could you list the mods you have on the p5k and, maybe, how they are done - a link if they are posted somewhere, please.

Thanks!

[F3IIX]

Here can you find some pictures/info how they were done:
