There's another thread from Tony, and he's got a c2 965 p5b, and it clocks like 600mhz fsb. I think it uses the 1333 strap though, and yeilds a little lower performance than 1066 strap.
To much trouble! I was getting near my 15 day return at Fry's with the P5B-D/E6400 combo and having no luck with OCing. The best I got was 2.4 and that was iffy. The double starts we're driving me nuts! I took the whole mess back and picked up the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3/E6400 $379 combo. All I did was go into bios (F4) and set it at 8X420 for 3360 Mhz. ran CPU Stress all night, no prob! Put on a Corsair Nautilus 500 water cool cuz its so easy to install, nothing in the case but heatblock and 2 tubes. Amazing how a $150 board whips a $250 wizbang board. Just for Sh*ts and Grins I tried the Gigabyte board with a E6600 and it cruised along at 3240Mhz with 9x360 again just a clock change in bios! I will probally try more later but its refeshing to have no issues and the thing runs. Well maybe one issue. I can't overclock having the memory set up as dual channel. Its OCZ 800mhz Plat 2x1G CPU-Z shows 5-5-5-15 at 420mhz single channel. When I install the mem in the same colored slots 1 and 3 for dual it won't OC if I run it in 1 and 2 its fine. Any thoughts. Thanks and good luck on the OC!!
I have serious question:
I have 20pin atx + 4pin AUX PSU, e6300, 2x1gb ram 6400, p5b-deluxe (no wifi), g6200 or x800gt
will this system boot?
I know what 4 pins leave on mobo atx connector (gnd,+12,+5,+3.3)
In the manual of Gigabyte ds3/ds4 is wrote that you could use 20pin PSU, but in manual pf p5b deluxe - not....
I dont like to OC VGA, CPU. I only use this 20pin PSU for about 1,2 months and then i will have much better PSU with ATX 2.2
Use the 20 pin from your PS on the 24 on the MoBo and the 4 pin on the Aux and you should be fine. I have a 500 Wt new PS that doesnt have the 24 pin. Havnt seen one yet.Quote:

I wasn't referring to your hardware... the ultra-x is a great psu... but OCZ powerstreams have had 24pin connectors since they've been out... for what, like 2 years now? just fyi :)Quote:

Basicly I cannot change the CPU vcore. I have tried both 507 and 614 bios versions. I have disabled CIE and speedstep and changed the cpu vcore setting to 1.35 - upon f10 and reboot I check the vcore (via hardware monitor in bios) and its hovering around 1.55, this is confirmed by asus probe. CPU-Z reports 1.21v :confused:
On a plus side my e6600 got to 3.6ghz orthos stable on 'auto' settings but I want to try it at a lower vcore as this was with a reported 1.55v.
Help please!
cpu-z bugs out reporting vcore at 1.45~+ and always displays 1.213.
So bios/pc probe is telling the truth then:( Anyone think that I could have a faulty board?
No all of us with P5B experience the same prob. Your m/b is fine... :)
So no-one can change the vcore:eek: I can live with cpu-z not reporting right but no change in vcore meaning my cpu is constantly at 1.55 when default is 1.35(?) is surely wrong.Quote:

This is most definitely not normal. My P5B Deluxe always reports slightly lower vcore than I set, both in the BIOS and through Asus Probe. I have not seen the behavior you describe in any BIOS revision I have tried.Quote:

I have tried 403 (shipped) 507 and 614 - all act exactly the same. I have done a couple of cmos clears and still no change.
Looking more closely the voltage drops to 0.98 when idle but is constant when under load. Its as if the voltage is being regulated due to the cpu load:confused: Only had this board 2 days and I'm ready for throwing it out the window:slapass:
Edit : Vdroop.
Still can't change the vcore to that I want though.
try disabling C1E and SpeedSteppingQuote:

-edit-
will the blue ice pro fit the southbridge of P5B DELUXE?
Please read my original post before making assumptions:rolleyes:Quote:

1.3v = 1.35

1.4 = 1.456
1.2 = 1.05
Deffo something wrong with the voltage regulation on my board so its going back for replacement.
Well your having better luck than me. Mine was DOA. Thanks ASUS :clap:Quote:

i hawe some big truble with this board.....
Tryed 507-509 and 614 bios. all akt like the same
P5B DLX WIFI
E6700 Retail
Corsair 8000 C5
etc.
The system cant go abowe 482 fsb..... i hawe tryed every thing i can think of but no luck......
when i set 490 in bios it freez befor i can hit F10 and save :(
I have tryed mulit 6-10 and al possible volt /mem settings etc.
Is this just a bad board?
I have huge problems with this board :(
It runs fine @ 2.88ghz, and was idling at 37c, but then it was a warmish night in my room, so i can expect maybe 35c / 36c.
Anyway, that's the most I could do 320*9. It ran fine in games and everything. I started to increase more 330*9 and it refused to boot up. Got to POST screen and froze when said "Overclock failed" I had to unplug all of my USB peripherals and plug in my old PS2 keyboard for it to work. :confused:
I went back to 390*9 and it froze whilst in games every now and then. So now I running at 300*9.
My memory is GeIL PC2-6400 DRR2-800mhz 4-4-4-12, yet in Windows under SPD it says DDR533. Does anyone know the settings for those? I will put it in manual, but I'm new to memory configs etc. so I'm a bit stuck on that! In BIOS it gives loads of options not "4" for the 4-4-4-12. I know that the top two in BIOS relate to the first 2 in the 4-4-4-12. But after that I'm stuck.
Either way, I can only run a divider 1:1 if I select DDR-533 in BIOS other wise it puts it on another mad divider.
I'm so f'kin confused right now. Other people's seems to be fine. I know it can do more, I'm just so lost....
Someone help! I can set the laptop up next to me if someone could give a run through later on today (5pm - 6pm and then 9pm - 11pm UK time)
Anyone?? lol.
Just help!!! :(
bios upgrade ;)
