Asus P5K Premium + Retail E6850 - Air Cooled - some reasonable results

Here are the results of my quick test of the P5K PREMIUM P35 WiFi-AP that I'm using for a OC Mini-Review

After a not so good experience with the P5K Deluxe (PWM and Mosfest area became very hot and make the OC CPUs unstable) I have some expectations about the P5K Premium since it uses the following new components:

- 8Layer PCB
- Nikos Mosfets
- TRIO 1R1 Inductor
- 6.3v/561uf Solid-Alu-Cap

Hot summer here (around 27ºC now at night) but anyway here are some Air Cooled results with a Retail E6850 - L719B027


First the photo of the setup:

After updating the bios I do 2 or 3 mins basic adjustments in Bios and get this:

SuperPI at 4.200MHz with the CPU on AIR and with just 1.54v (in Windows) in a hot summer night is not to bad ;)

The new electronic components and 8Layer PCB seems to make the diference in terms of overclocking.

Here is the bandwith with my Corsair 8500C5 not opitimized at all.

Later I will do some 3D benchs and will post here..

Woah,....Most L719Bxxx are very good clockers of the ones i seen so far.....:)

nice chip :yepp:

edit : is it really better then P5K DX ?

I ordered this board yesterday to use with my G0 Q6600, nice to see it's already doing well. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

ordered it also... I wish it's better then P5K DX

Crank down that multi and tell us what kind of max FSB you can get out of it Pedro. I am SO tired of waiting for Blitz to show up somewhere in the US, I am seriously thinking of buying one of these instead.

Impressive cpu, PedroRocha.:up: But... 27ºC at night?! Where?!

So, your air cooled cores are cooler than ambient?

Pedro any difference in heat output at the mosfet area ? Are there temp readouts as with the Blitz range of NB, SB and mosfet area ?

Starting to up the pace 3.78 stable 1.42Vcore
