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..
