got 1.02g version with 0703 bios....any good bios?
I supposed something like that old OCZ RAM Booster should be able to work here allowing one to to boot and adjust the settings. I never liked the OCZ booster but good thing I didnt sell it in case I experience this issue.Quote:

Guys I am trying to find out if my current PS is compatible with this mobo. I keep reading about a 12v P4 connector and my PS only has a 20+4 for the mobo and the regular 12v and floppy plugs. I dont see anything special. Do I need a new PS?
PS Just talked to Asus and the tech told me I could just plug the 20pin to the 24pin on the mobo and use that 4 pin for the connector next to the CPU.
Recently got a P5K-E and E6750 and just read through this thread over yesterday and today. Very useful information here for a new P5K-E owner so I'd just like to say thank you to everyone who has contributed their experiences here testing BIOS versions and whatnot.
One question I've been having that doesnt seem to have been answered is about core temp readings. I am getting different readings whether I check the BIOS, PC probe II or through the Core Temp program.
Idle temps:
BIOS - 13C
PC Probe II - 11C
Core Temp - 21C
I'm assuming Core Temp's reading is the more accurate one as it reads directly from the DTS but it still seems a bit low to me. I do have an aftermarket cooler, an old Thermalright XP-90 (AS5) with a vantec tornado spinning at about 2800RPMs and my current vcore is only 1.125 (1.1 in CPU-Z from vdrop). Anyone care to elaborate on why the readings are different and also why they seem low?
Some other info...
P5K-E rev 1.02
BIOS v1006
CPU currently clocked at 7x400FSB = 2.8GHz
What is your ambient temp? If you don't know exact then approx.Quote:

Ahh, I knew I forgot to mention a couple things...
Yes, ambient temp is usually pretty cool, about 68F (so that's about 20C I think). I also just switched to an Antec 900 case which is known for dropping temps a good 5-10 degrees from what they would normally be so maybe I'm just not used to seeing such cool temps. My last CPU A64 3700+ idled at 30C.
As for @ load, core temp while running Orthos topped at about 38C (Core Temp's reading). So do these Conroes just run cooler or what? Also is the P5K-E/Asus monitoring utilities known for inaccurate temp readings? I want to be certain on this before I start OC'ing and stress testing. Advice is appreciated.
Whats the difference in the memory slots? i.e. Are two better than the other two?
The black ones OC better, apparently, from what I have read.Quote:

Did anyone with this board had issues with Kingston HyperX pc2-8500?
i have a 2X1GB kit and
for some reason one of the sticks always fails at memtest on my rig(the other stick works great) and
at my friends rig it's fine...i had the kit checked and both of the moudls are in perfect shape...!!! it's weird.
anyone tried this mobo with a Q9450? I wanted to buy one, but it seems that this cpu stops at 440 fsb in X38 mobo's, what about P35's ?
Have you tried the black memory slots?Quote:

Guys can you help me with that HD Audio BIOS setup. What is that front panel they mention in there. Am I supposed to set that up as AC97 or what? I keep getting the HD audio show in device manager but no drivers are installed.
Thanks
Good chip there mate, I need 1.5v BIOS (1.475v in Windows load) to get 3.2Ghz Orthos 12 hour stable.Quote:

Hello everyone,
I've been lurking around and reading a lot of the incredible information from here and decided to post. :)
Due to some odd events, I recently picked up one of these ASUS P5K-E Wifi boards (rev 1.02 shipped w/0906 BIOS) from my local Fry's along with 2gb Crucial 6400, an E8400 (Batch 748) and a el-cheapo ATI card. (was low on funds due to the last minute purchasing.) I also have a cheap WC setup kit that was for my old P4-1.8ghz that I am now using on this setup.
I must say that I am quite impressed with this board and haven't had any issues yet. Although I am currently running stock settings as I am still trying to learn more about all the settings I will need to tweek should I OC.
I would like to OC the system soon though. Especially since even though the WC setup is a cheap kit, my CPU has not gone over 30c while running Prime95 large and idle is 27c. Granted this was also on stock settings and assuming that the readings from both the ASUS tool and Speedfan were correct.
I remember seeing a post about how to cofigure CoreTemp to adjust the tMax of the CPU. Anyone else remember this? As currently it shows a tMax of 105c when the E8400 I believe is supposed to be lower? Of course the reason for this is I would love to achieve a 4ghz 24/7 OC on this board and CPU.
So to sum up, my now current rig is:
P5K-E Wifi (Rev 1.02, Flashed to Bios 1004)
Intel E8400@3ghz (Q748) I'll edit with the full batch when I get home
2x1gb Crucial Ballistix 6400
PC Power&Cooling Silencer 750 quad
Diamond Radeon 3650, 512mb Video (crap card :( )
And lastly an old Lian-Li full tower case and a el-cheapo Danger-Den WC kit.
I've got a lot to learn! So any further info or recomendations ya'll want to share is awesome!
The asus pc probe software is reading temps from a sensor on the mobo don'tQuote:

1004 (or 1006) is the bios you want so your good there. Also
set your vcore, fsb term, and pll manually, the auto settings can be too
high for the 45nm e8400 to handle.
Defaults for these are:
CPU Vcore: depends on your VID prolly 1.1125v, you can check with coretemp.
FSB Term: 1.10v (My two work best at default yours prolly will too)
PLL Voltage: 1.50v
And when you start Overclocking Disable "Transaction Booster" It makes
the timings too tight for cranking up the FSB Freq.
Oh and don't get too crazy with the vcore, there is some controversy about this so
if you want to be on the safe side stay under 1.36v
Read here:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=179965
Good Luck:up:
Awesome, thank you for the info. I plan to play around a bit today. I also have read enough to know that I want to try and keep the vCore not only as low as possible, but to also keep it (for the 45nm chips) below 1.36v if at all possible. Personally if I can't get to 4ghz with 1.36v or below then I won't be too heart broken. 3.6 to 3.8ghz is still a TON faster then what I had before.Quote:

Wish me luck as I plan to play around with some of the settings you listed. I'm thinking of going for the 445x9 to get the 4ghz. I just hope it won't require over the 1.36v. If so then I'll just have to back it off to the highest OC I can to stay under the 1.36v.
And as promised my E8400 is FPO/Batch Q748A211, VID of 1.1125.
As for the temp software, I've been using more then just the ASUS stuff (but will stop as recommended). I've been using SpeedFan as well as CoreTemp. I wanted to try a few different temp software to make sure I was covering my bases. haha.
My yeOlde Rig:
ASUS P4B-266
Intel P4 - 1.8ghz (512k cache) Northwood (Socket 478 even)
1g (512x2) Corsair XMS
So needless to say.. HUGE upgrade here. lol
EDIT: Well with some of my quick testing I'm able to run at 445x9 (4005ghz) with only a 1.30 vCore. Temps from Real-Temp are at C0-53c max, C1-52c max under load. Although CoreTemp and OCCT are showing 61/60c under load. So I'm unsure as to which to believe. SpeedFan and the bad ASUS Probe II are showing CPU@45c and MB@34c. So it seems as though my temps are ok under this load. OCCT has been quite stable although Prime95 hasn't been very successful. Any ideas?
My next thing to try is to change the RAM timings from 5x5x5x18 to the rated 4x4x4x12@2.2v
Wish me luck that nothing decides to go poof. hahaha.

Yes you will definitely want to tweak your ram timing and voltage.
And yes 4x4x4x12 @ 2.2v looks on par. Make sure your "FSB strap"
is set to 400, it will allow your mem to be 1:1, and if your mem
won't do 4x4x4x12 @ 445mhz (890mhz) I would lower the FSB until
the ram gets stable. You'll loose a little MHz on the CPU but it's
worth keeping your ram timings tight.
Well I tried to set the RAM at 4x4x4x12 but no boot/post at that FSB although I was able to go 5x5x5x15 fine. After some more tweeking last night I was able to go to 450x9 with 1.325v idle (1.35v in BIOS iirc), 5x5x5x15@2.2v. I didn't however know about the strap so that is set to auto I believe. I did set the 2.2v for the RAM manually due to what you said earlier about some of the V-settings might be set too high when running on auto.Quote:

In other news, I did also notice that even on "stock" settings, for some reason I couldn't ever get past about 10 or so minutes in Prime95. So I know I'm missing something here. Although I must say that even though it hasn't been Prime95 stable (even on stock) I have had no issues when playing any games for hours periods. Not to mention while playing games at the OC settings my temps in RealTemp never went above 43c. I guess my games aren't as much of a load as I thought. Granted the junk VidCard I have doesn't help. :D
Yeah, mine will pass prime95 for hours (>8) one day and fail within 10 minutesQuote:

@ 4x4x4x12 timings (actually 445mhz works ok but I like to have a stability
buffer) anyhow I am very happy with the performance like it is, as it blows
any stock pc on the current market away!!!:D
EDIT: If you are having to notch your FSB down too much because of your mem, try 2.3v on the mem, it should
be fine, but you may want to do a touch test on it while running a game, if it seem way hotter that it was @ 2.2v
you may need some active cooling on it (i.e. a fan).
Ignore me, I decided not to switch to this board... bad sata ports placement....
thx was able to get it to 4.0ghz stableQuote:

Anyway I noticed that the "CPU temp" is now always 5 degrees lower than it was before. The Tcase one, it was usually 33º with normal usage (not totally idle) and now it's down to 28º. The cores still report the same temperatures. From what I read, the bios calibrates the Tcase, but the Tjunctions are already calibrated, which explains what happened. Should I believe the new temp?
Got the same problem with two kingston HyperX pc2-8500.one is working perfectly and the other falls in memtest after few seconds.Quote:

in my defense Ill say that the faulty stick doesnt work no matter what settings I change. ddr2-667, ddr2-800, messed with all the timings, voltages, tried both yellow and black slots. always the same error in memtest, always the same problem
well i sent mine to the store.they said there were fine.i checked at friends the sticks are fine! but when i install them at my rig,they fail and yes only one fails...also no matter the timmings voltage or speed,it always fail.Quote:

i love this board, it's been completely stable for me so far. finally got my w/c components installed and had some time to bench over easter weekend.
3900mhz was stable for 4x32m PI run and also a HD x264 run
4ghz required 1.6v real and i'm sure alot more to be stable but 1.6v was my limit. ram is low clocked at 1:1

I'm building a new system w/ a Q6600 and a P5K-E WiFi.
This is my first build since 2003. I've never overclocked but want to.
I'm confused about which memory to buy. Looking at the QVL I don't see any dual channel kits. Do I pick one of the sticks listed and just by two? Don't they have to be a matched pair?
Anyone able to suggest a 2x2Gb & 2x4Gb dual channel kit from the QVL that they are passionate about?
Also the case I'm going to use is 7.75” wide. I want to use the Thermalright Ultra-120 eXtreme with the Scythe S-FLEX fan. Anyone know if 7.75” will be enough room? What might be an equilvilant heatsink that would work?
Thanks,
Rastus
My Crucial Ballistix 6400 run dual channel. it's a 2x1gb for 2gb of RAM which is fine for most things as depending on the OS (64bit OS can see more) you use you won't see anything over 3-4gb anyway.
As for the clearence in the case, I personally couldn't tell you. Although I must say that after my first attempt at water cooling I'm very happy with it. The initial investment is a slight bit more then a Ultra-120, but it's well worth it imo. Especially if you plan to OC at all.
I've just bought a 4Gb kit of the OCZ PC8500 Reaper HPC. I'll let you know ;)
I have 0703 bios....switch to 1004/1006 ?
1006 here. No problems.

Can someone explain please what is Vanderpool Technology ?

and what they have to do with OCing?
thanks.
Enable the execute disable bit as it has nothing to do with overclocking. Its the DEP in windows thats stops some memory exploit virii screwing with your rig. It also enables PAE (google it)
Vanderpool is visualisation technology, allows easier running of virtual machines. Also nowt to do with overclocking ;)
so ENABLE EXECUTE DISABLE BIT everything else disable?
Pretty much yes :)
now that i switched from ABIT IP35-E to P5K-E ocing is much better.
I am simply amazed by this mobo. It runs 4*1GB at 1000MHz without any problem. Modules are Kingston 667 CL5 ValueRam. QVL says that these modules cannot be used in 4 slot configuration.
:bows:
May I ask what were you getting before? I considered that mobo for some time and ended up with this one which I really like but always remained curious. I was a DFI fan and my main machines normally end up with DFI mobos but Asus has really impressed me this time.Quote:

I have had two E8400 and one xeon E3110 .The E3110 is the worst of the 3 overclocking chips. One of the E8400 chips and the E3110 will prime at 4.0ghz but when I hit the reset button the system hangs unless I do a hard reset. The second E8400 didn't do this at the same setting. Do you guys think it's the chip or this motherboard and has anyone else had this trouble. Anyone know is there a setting that needs changed in the bios to fix this.
Does anyone else have random reboot problems when system is overclocked and sitting idle for too long?
This random reboot also corrupts windows boot file when it happens.
My guess is you don't have a stable overclock.Quote:

Is there a site or does someone here know what all of the settings in bios do and what are some ballpark figures if you want to reach 500mhz FSB? My E6300 is stable at >3000mhz when using the 7x multi so that's not a problem. I have also stressed my reaper 6400 at 500mhz at a high multiplier vs FSB and they were fine too. However, my p5k-e at 500mhz with everything running 1:1 and 6x multi but it doesn't boot. I'm wondering what I need to change, so far all I've tried is 1.55 on the NB, still no luck. I also tried the various gtl reference ratios for the cpu and NB. Anyway, I'd just like some concrete bios settings that would theoretically enable me to boot with 500mhz.
edit: using 1004 bios and specs as follows
E6300 B2 revision
P5K-E latest revision
ocz reaper 6400 rated at 4-4-4-15 at 400mhz but I've tested them 5-5-5-15 at 500mhz 2.20v
8800GT
Sound Blaster Audigy SE
Antec NeoHE 430 power supply
NB frequency = FSB * (default multi) / (set multi)
So, 500MHz * 7 / 6 = 583MHz. That's too high for you NB to handle.
I think my mind is blown! so everything else equal, if I set multi to 5 then the NB is running at 583, and if I set multi to 7 then the NB will be running at 500? So basically having it at 7 could potentially mean a more stable overclock?

Yes my board only does it with some wolfdales of the 5 chips 3 wolfs one york, I have had this problem before I reached 4.0ghz on two of them. The other three reached 4.0ghz then started with this reset trouble. I like this board alot but it is time for a maximus.Quote:

These are bonehead questions. I'm assembling my sytem & I'm new to OC'ing.
The Tuniq Tower's fan has a 3 pin female plug. The Asus has a 4-pin CPU Fan plug. How are people connecting the fan to the mobo? The CHA_FAN1 plug is a male 3 pin. Can I connect to it instead? If someone could explain the difference in the mobo fan plug types, I'd be very appreciative. :)

The Asus 4 pin CPU Fan plug is designed so that a 3 pin still fits.Quote:

Rocket's accurate. However, you will not be able to get any fan control if you plug in your 3-pin into the CPU's 4-pin fan header. Alternatively, you can connect it to one of the chassis fan headers to get fan control.Quote:

At 1.5 Bios Voltage, the idle and load voltage would continuously change ~+/- 0.01-0.02 volts. Only at 1.525 Volts would it maintain a steady 1.5V on idle, but OCCT would crash when it started the load.

Hi guys,
I need some help.
I bought an Asus P5KE-wifi AP mobo and from the time I bougth I have been having problems.
I think I might have gotten a bad board or something. Even with default bios (no overclocking) It refuses to boot the next morning. I experience the black screen of death and upon 3 restarts or sometimes having to unplug the power cable and holding down the power switch for 5 seconds lets me in. I even swapped the Ram from my other computer to this one and still same issue. Do u guys think I am gonna have to RMA this thing? or would resetting the bios manually like through that battery taking out procedure help?

How is the new 1012 bios?
can someone recommend flashing to it?
I recommend that if you have no problems with your current BIOS version to stick with that one.:up:Quote:

From the readme of v1012:
I don't think I'll be upgrading, as none of the changes apply to my system.Quote:
P5K-E BIOS 1012
1. Support new CPUs. Please refer to our website at: http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/cpusupport.aspx
2. Fix when using Conroe 3.0GHz CPU with FSB1333, the system cannot resume from S3.
3. Improve ATAPI CD-ROM's compatibility with EZ-Flash.
4. Fix the system is unable to enter S3 in Windows XP 64-bit OS.

Well you may consider the RMA, I initially had a e4300 on this board withQuote:

laying around (even if its a low wattage one i.e. 250-350w) hook it up to
see if your problem is fixed, some PSU and mobo combos have issues on start up.
As a FYI, the S3 problem for Windows XP x64 was fixed for me in 1006. (Not to mention 1012 was problematic for me as stated in my earlier post.)Quote:

mine also is rockstable if left on forever even overclocked or on default settings. But when I shut it down and boot the next morning, it just shows black screen.
One person there commented that his prob. was fixed with the new 1012 bios. Let's hope mine does as well.
I just ordered this mobo and a 1200w Silverstone PSU...I am just interested in this mobo's capabilities as I already have DFI's P35 UT and X48 LT boards...have people clocked up QX9650s on this? If so, how was your experience? Lots of BIOS updates which is awesome :) Asus has bad tendancies to abandon boards soon after releasing them :(
damn, the bios update didn't do anything.
Still facing the same problem.
I'm gonna give ASUS techsupport a call today.
