From my reading... I would be surprised if the heatpipes aren't working well... seems like Asus have come thru on this series.

Will there be a P5K Deluxe with no WiFi?

Just don't enable it.

No probably not, but I plan on going Penryn when its out, but when I get it...little delay due to the holiday on monday, but when I get the board I will let you know.

For people running blend (especially with quads and boosted NB/FSB volts), what is your PC Probe mobo temp reading after about 15 minutes or so?

pc probe2 and ai suite same reported temps.. MB around 29-34C under load depending on room temp in open desk bench setup with 60x25mm sunon 23.5cfm maglev fan over stock passive nb heatsink with original TIM intact

not really i've been on 0307 for a while now so 0311 is just a small jump...

wonder if 0311 is the bios bingo13 was talking about with improved memory performance and fixing the retail quad core reboot issue ?

311 adds 1T/2T command rate... needed to reset my cmos to boot... testing now.

No, just testing max fsb.
I will test E6600 max fsb tonight, I think my mem will be limiting factor then, well, I hope so :D

My LN2 run on the E66 was board limited (P5B), I think this board will finally bring me to sub 10 spi.

Too early to tell! but I am having a bit more success finding some options for my Q6600 in the 3530 to 3550 range with 311.

Let's just say that yesterday 3555MHz @ 1.5625v + damper on rebooted after 7 minutes priming, and right now 3546MHz has been going for 40 minutes.

Could mean something, might mean nothing.

Will know in a day or so. Right when my Xeon 3220 arrives ;-)

It's strange that the p5k vanilla's bios is socketed, but it's soldered for the deluxe.

nice mobo ..very good work :up:

well, Bios 0311, in my case. 1T wont work with divider 1:1 bus 400.
bus 333 divider 5:6 1T works fine.

damn. so sounds like 515 1:1 1t won't be all too likely eh?

Color codes?

I just noted that changing values in the bios, when P5K reboots the screen change color, I noted for example that increasing volts on cpu the color of the value doesn't change in the bios, remains blue (on P5W becomes pink and with more volts red) but when I reboot the screen becomes gray, gray w/ stripes, pink and purple based on the bios settings.
Is this somehow the same as the value color alert-notification for the P5W ?
Anyway it's an amazing mobo !! Really happy with P5K dlx !!

im trying to keep my volts down @ 1.4 and am stable at 3gHz (380FSB 8x mult)

ram is OCing nicely 2.3v 1140. 5-5-5-15 2T

0311 BIOS is installed and working well.

before switching out your Q6600 with your E6600, can you see what the max overclock is at the default multi for the Q6600...i am interested in getting this board but i want to make sure i can crank out more performance than my QuadGT board...you have a Tuniq cooler on it which is the same for my Q6600; although i have been toying with the idea of getting the Ultra 120 extreme cooler.:)

i have the comparison sheet for the P5K right next to me...the non-deluxe version is an 8mb Flash ROM versus a 16mb Flash ROM for the deluxe model; hence, i presume the need for a soldered chip-ee:) ...8mb is also found on the P5KC...that model handles both DDR2 AND DDR3 memory.

daaaamn 16mbit rom?? guess the days of floppy flashing are really over now

OR...it is going to be one heck of a compressed file..LOL

i wonder if the P5KC has or will hit the streets in early june?

it might make more sense for me to buy that board so i can transition to DDR3 when it become less expensive.

Just put on 0311. My previous highest FSB post was 485x7. I am now able to post 500x7 with QX6700. Won't go into Windows yet, but that's substantially better if I do say so.

Edit add: Hmmm....I seem to be getting a tad more drop in voltage from what is set in BIOS to actual. I had to tick up BIOS vcore one notch to 1.5v to get the same volts in Windows under load now that I was getting under load before. No big deal really, as my ultimate volts and temps remain the same, but interesting if this is a characteristic of the new BIOS. Anyone else seeing this?
