View Full Version : asus p5gd1 ...after fsb 215 doesn't go?
i'm having strange problem with mi new asus p5gd1....i can't passa fsb 215 in any mode....mi sistem is,,,,,,,
ocz 520 w
2x512 adata pc 4000
p4 560 j eo
xfx 6600 gt pci\e
i have tried bios 1006 and 1007 beta,,,,but if i set in bios 215 fsb ddr 1\1,,,when i press f10 to save and exit setup the mobo shut down immediatly...and after a 1 second restart....:)...
someone can help me?

The on-off-on sequence after pressing F10 is normal with ASUS when you overclock the system, so don't worry about it. I find it just a little bit annoying...
Maybe you should try Clockgen, simply set voltages, multipliër and memory deviders on a desired (and working) value in bios.
Boot into windows, and download and install:

Find a stable OC setting in windows and put in in bios afterwards...
ok thanks...but in win i see that pci and pci\ex,,,frequency goes up if i set 22o fsb ...why?? the p5gd1 doesn't look pci frequency?

did you set the PCI-E freq on 100Mhz??
try to set it on Auto....then you will see the difference....

ztop, if your MoBo gets fussy like that, use the ASUS AI-Booster program in windows, you'll have to enable in the BIOS menu - set NOS mode to "sensitive" in the sub-menu, then Turbo NOS to whatever % you want. I'm pretty sure it works on your ASUS board in the same sequence as mine (LGA775 chipset)
I would avoid using beta BIOS too, personally I don't trust any beta software, let alone a BIOS version of it. ;)

The 915P is limited by 10% overclock of the default FSB by Intel. The only work around is to increase the voltage to the chipset wich makes the lock more tolerant, don't use SATA drives (for 230MHz FSB or more) and set the PCI-E to "auto" - it can't be locked.
Search the forums and you will find out more about this lock.
Anandtech wrote a article about it too, but not many motherboards are that succesfull as those they use. I know no 915P wich uses DDR memory wich can do the same speeds...

thanks to all....
but i have decided to sold mi p5gd1 for a abit aa8xe....and i have solve any overclocking problem..

Interesting point Salkcin,
I've never O/C with more than 7% ATM with the ASUS N.O.S. system, but nice to know anyway.

It's actually funny. Everyone was so sceptical about the new Socket 775 Prescott's when they was launched that everyone forgot about or simply missed that Intel have implemented a limitation of 10% FSB overclocking in their 900 series chipsets. Anandtech describes the problem in the article I linked to in my former post so no need for me to explain, but it have been "solved".
915P/925X does officially only support 533/800 Quad Data Rate FSB's so the limitation allready kicks in at ~220MHz, but 925XE officially supports 1066 QDR wich means that 266x1,1=292MHz FSB can be reached with no limitation on most 925XE motherboards with no problem... so with 925XE a 46% overclock is possible without limitation and in the time 925X was on the streets it seems that Abit and Asus have got hold of the limitation so well that their 925XE are doing 350MHz FSB without any problems :)
PCI-Express + DDR is unfortunately not a soloution if you wish to overclock on a Intel platform. Even if you can get 250MHz FSB the workarounds with no SATA harddrive and unlocked PCI-Express (can couse peripheral problems) is not good...
The soloutions for Socket 775 systems if you wish to overclock is 865/875 (AGP+DDR) or 925XE (PCI-E/DDR2)... I would prefer the 875P soloution from DFI.

Yeah, I know what your saying Salkcin,
Wish I was more into O/C back in 04' when I got this system (PC1) than what I am now, would have done more research into it. The anantech article that you hyperlinked to is interesting and I'm glad I got the ASUS product rather than the Gigabyte or Intel MoBo at the time. With those O/C percentages eg: above 10% and more, I wonder if the systems can handle solid real world workloads everyday without crashing etc. To me thats what counts more. Hence, haveing said that, I do believe in pushing a system to a point -where that point is, its different for everyone. :)
