ASUS P5K Deluxe - Intel P35 Bearlake + E6600 B1 / Q6600 B3

Thanks Antari

I started to doubt about the P5K deluxe... but then i realize is the batch, week or luck...

primed vcore=1,5 (450x8) 3 minutes one core failed
primed vcore=1,5 (400x9) 10 minues one core failed

I tested lots of configs, ram separate, then drop it to DDR2 800, well days testing with no luck, needs more vcore

I think i will need 1,525 to stable...

And the last one that killed me was to see that hole between (464x7) and (490x7) i was expecting to do 3,4Ghz at least with (x7) but very unstable and then when i could boot, loose the cores....

So....

Thanks for all
Best regards
Sergio

Well last night i did an OC session to test if i can get it Prime95 stable under vcore=1,5

I tried the RLM settings:

************************************************** *******

With this settings i made it stable, tried 446 and failed after 10min...so that indicates that it needs more vcore, no matter the other settings, just vcore seems to make it Prime95 stable...

I also tried with this:

************************************************** *******

South Bridge Voltage: AUTO

************************************************** *******

But same situation, I can go up if i don't raise vcore

Some observations I made:

Cores IDLE, the first 2 ones have no difference in temps, the third has like 7C difference...and 4th has 2C. At full load the difference is like 4 or 5..I had the CPU lapped and happened almost the same before i did the lapping...Maybe it's the Big Typhoon push pins that are not fitting well or maybe the CPU it's just like that....I also applied the AS5 spreading with a card, i don't knwow if the AS5 is the best method...the one on AS web site...

Any help will be appreciated

Yes I have the same... except my 4th core is only 1 or 2°C hotter than the third.

When you say fails prime, small ftt or blend?

maybe try setting trtp to 8, seem to remember that coming into play for someone else over on i4memory.com.

Also the other auto settings. I would have a look at what memset is reading, and maybe try loosening up some of these. Like twtr, write to precharge etc.

I've had situations on the DFI where small ftt ran a lot longer than blend, indicating memory was causing the problem.

probably way off, but just a longshot.

RLM

Thanks RLM

I tried to figure out if it was memory but i also run the test lowering the crucials to ddr2800 and same situation...

I was testing small fft's i always start on that...

I still can't belive i saw others with the same batch taking it up to 3,6 with 1,4 prime95 stable....same asus p5k deluxe

I don't know...

Regards
Sergio

BIOS 0603 just released on ASUS FTP site...

ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/so.../P5K%20Deluxe/

What has been fixed/updated with latest BIOS?

try you memory at 5-5-4-9-3-30-3-3-8 . I have the same sticks and they seems to like these timings.

New 603 bios gives me 10C more on CPU readings

with 311 i got 33 - 43-43-35-42
with 603 i got 47 - 42-42-32-39

gonna try more

Regards

Sesdave

I already try with no luck to prime95 stable at 3,6

Thanks
Sergio

Edit: Posting, same time as you posting last comment on 603, so missed that. Maybe ignore the following

andressergio,

Just looked at your sig and it says bios 311. Is that the bios you are using?

If it is then maybe that's contributing to the problems you're having.

I was late to the game with the P5K deluxe, so can't comment fully as haven't used the older bios's. I'm currently on 601, which has been great so far.

Note: Updated through ezflash and a usb disk.

RLM

does the 603 bios for p5k-deluxe be the same for p5k deluxe wifi ap board? cause i didn't find it at asus site....

Yeah - dont use Asus update. Thats why I now have an Premium MB as a Deluxe RMA after a flash verify fail using Asus update -lol!.

Thanks RLM

I tried ALL bios..same failure at same time always...I think i just tried all unless some magic combination can make it prime95 stable...i think is the batch...

Same with this new one and also strange temps reported as i posted before, also less performance, i had all bioses tested on everest and stored...311 still performs better

I never updated on windows always used an external notebook usb hd

Thanks

With my L723A I had to ONLY change voltage settings for CPU to 1.48 ( i think) and I run my ballistix 8000 4X1 sticks at 2.3 to 2.35 I have a fan blowing across them from the side, and I got 3.6 on the CPU. It has a vid of only 1.200! but it will eventually fail prime above that at ANY voltage.
I was beginning to suspect the board, but I got a L731A that does 3.9 easy.
so I would say the L723A's max out around 3.6.. Also i ran my mem at 5-5-5-15 with no other mem settings changed. Could you try a beefier power supply?

Also I am using 505 bios, works good for me, so sticking with it for now.

Nostromo

Thanks Nostromo !

I think that the PSU is enough, if i can grab hands on another i will, but as you say i think is this batch

Why u use such high vdimm ?

I run mine at 2,2 max for 24/7...at wich speed you have them ?

Where is the best place to buy this board ?

Alright, I just got my board back from Asus, and its a newer revision than my previous board. It says 1.01g now instead of 1.00g. I believe it also has the 601 bios already installed, but ill probably update that to the official 603 bios when I get it installed. Im quite impressed, they got it out to me extremely fast. Asus FTW :)

Nice, tell us if it's better when you test :up:

Rbs.
:wave:

where is the best place to buy this mobo ?

leoftw, I guess it would be an idea to state where you are.:)

What's the finding on 0603 then? I gather there's different temp readings, but anything positive over 0601?

RLM

I'm in Los Angeles California to be exact . What the best version of this board so far >

Nothing + RLM just bad temp readings as i posted and less timmings on mem

Also cannot boot at some OC's i had on 311

Regards
Sergio

Cheers andressergio;) I'll stick with 0601 then.

Yes of course, They are supported by the same BIOS.

I can't load windows with 603 bios . I tried every setting in bios . Default was a no go also . It just gives me a BSOD while loading .
Memtest DOS doesn't show any errors .
So , back to 601 for me .

Stelios you have this problem with your CPU at stock or your CPU is heavily overclocked?

I heard someone got it from ZZF and it's Rev. 1.10G, which is the latest revision of this board.

Even at stock i can't enter windows . I still can't find what is changed from the previous bios , but i think my problems are cause of memory optimizations in this release . Maybe some subtiming settings .

I had a lot of problems with this new board, but that was partially my fault. I hadnt given the ram enough voltage, and it was blue screening after a few minutes. It seems to be running Ok for now, but it doesnt recognize my raid every now and then, and I have to reboot a few times to get it to go. Also, at stock voltages my temperatures seem higher. This could be because my AS5 hasnt cured yet, but this is probably the most unfortunate thing to come from this board. It could be the 603 bios as well, but Im going to let it sit a while with this bios. It caused me too much grief the first day I put it in, that Id like it to work well for a few weeks, maybe start folding again :)

if your not using your second pci-e 16x slot you should invest in a raid controller card. They work great in this board. :fact:

I just got a set of OCZ Gold (2 x 1GB) DDR2, is anyone running two different brands of ram at the same time with this board?


Thanks

Eagleclaw,
I ran some Corsair and G.Skills at the same time with no issues. They were both rated @ DDR2-800 (400mhz) 4-4-4-12, but I ran them up to DDR2-950 (950Mhz) 4-4-4-12 @ 2.2v. I could have got by on their rating of 2.1v but I chose to hedge my bets a bit with RAM voltage. Now I run all G.Skills (Micron Chips - the Corsair were Promos and I must have got lucky to get them to run at 950Mhz).

Hope that helps.
jeeka.

I will relax the timmings as the OCZ is 5-5-5 and work my way down.

thanks

I am running 2X2gb Patriot 4-4-4-12 2.1v and 2X1gb Crucial ballistix 4-4-4-12 2.1v with no problems whatever. I think it is most likely important for the rated timings and voltages to be compatible when mixing chips.

Hi guys I was very interested reading all the 60 odd pages in this thread, however my problem is slightly different.

My AISuite just won't run despite many un-installs re-installs, I just get a pop up saying " EAccessViolation" then nothing.

I have a Quad Q6600 GO stepping CPU and BIOS version 0404 I had to update the BIOS as it wasn't recognising the CPU Microcode properly.
I notice though that that is the latest BIOS from ASUS using the Update prog.

Can anyone help me get the AISuite running please ?

I tried sending a Tech enquiry to ASUS but keep getting the message that their site is busy and please try again later !
Their server must be the smallest in the world apart from their sales one :) which seems to work fine.

The other thing I need help on is I would like to overclock the CPU but I am a bit lacking in knowing what to change etc in the BIOS.

I have 2 gigs of OCZ 6400 PC800 Memory installed.

If I want say an overclock to 3.3 Ghz I am using the stock HSF, what would be the recommended settings so that my CPU doesn't get too hot.

I would suggest that you reread the original posts in this thread. Eva 2000 shows just about every bios setting that you could need. From that point it is just a matter of experimenting to find out what works best for you.

I think 3.3 is going to be past what the stock cooler can handle. If you want any significant overclocking with the Q6600 you need high end aftermarket air or water cooling.

Is an Artic Freezer 7 Pro anygood ?

Poor at best. The Thermalright Ultra-120 Extreme and the Tuniq Tower 120 are far better.

Any ideas about AI Suite not running ? thanks for the fan info :)

Sorry another question, at present in my P5K Deluxe WiFi-AP rev A2 ?
I am using OCZ Platinum 6400 800 DDR 2 2 gigs, is this any good or is Crucial Ballistix 8500 1066 better ?

Or what memory would you recommend.

OCZ mem is just fine. The Crucial is arguably better but the improvement would be too slight to be worth the price.
I have never had success with AI suite - IMO it is crap and not worth the trouble. It is not compatible with Vista 64 which is my OS.

I'm running XP pro 32 bit, I used the AI booster on my older ASUS P5WDG2-WS Mobo without any problems.
In the BIOS for the P5K it doesn't seem to have the overclocking options I had with the older board, whereby you could select a percentage overclock.

Hey, question for you all. I got a new P5k-Deluxe from my RMA, and its the newest revision (I believe). It came with the 601 beta bios installed, but I flashed to the 603 Bios. This one seems much less stable than my 501 bios on my first board. I did a backup before the old one died. Would it be ok to flash the 501 bios to this new board? I think Ill get a lot more stability out of it. Let me know what you think, thanks.

edit: or maybe the 4XX bios works even better for OCing? I can get 3.6ghz @ 1.325v on the 501 bios, but only 3.4ghz 1.325v on the 603 bios.

They reduced some latency timings ( if I recall correctly ) need some small changes in the memory options to get it going again... 9 x 400 benches fine here with 0601

If you don't intend to OC much ( so max 400-425Fsb ) the OCZ will prolly handle it, though if you wanted to go further it might be nice to have some headroom with the ram.... though don't expect much miracles if you use the same settings...

Hey guys just something I want to know, As stated by eva2000 and some others, the "black" slots are better in therms of overclocking then the "yellow" slots. But this makes me wonder, could it be that the black slots got a bigger drive strenght, which is bad for RAM ( D9?)in the long run and the RAm could eventually die...
I myself had a Mushkin Xp8500 rated up to 2.35v, The first 2 weeks I got it stable memtest/prime @ 1223 mhz 5-5-5-12 @ 2.30v and had a 80mm fan over it , dimms didnt felt hot so it was good, after some weeks I had some random restarts during gaming, so I did some memtest, and full of errors, I had to downclock and loosing the timing in order to get it stable @ 1200 5-5-5-12 @ 2.30v, so it was degrading ...., this was using the Black dimms....... I really dont know if there is a co-relation, but I got atm some crucial running @ stock speeds + undervolts, again @ black dimms, I might swap to the yellow 2 be sure.
So I want to know to know anyone their RAMs died so far on this board? and @ which slot they were used? Thanks

mc2K, that is a good question.

The more volts you are putting onto your RAM, the less drive strength you need.
Don't know where but somewhere i read that the black slots were better for high performance RAM.

I assume high performance RAM will be more powerhungry so it is reasonable to say that high performance RAM is ran at higher voltages, therefore i assume it should have lower drive strength instead of higher.

This is just an assumption, don't quote me on it. ;)

Mine does not run either. Nor does PCProbe. I gave up on both of those.

PC Probe works on mine, ASUS sent me a newer version of AISuite but that doesn't work either, just waiting for a response from ASUS again.

In Everest Ultimate Edition my CPU seems to have 5 temps showing, it says CPU temp then gives 4 core temps, what is the CPU temp actually measuring as it is much lower than the core temps shown, which are approx 49°C per core at idle.

Is this too hot ?

XGMAN:What rev is your board and what BIOS version please ? I am on BIOS 0404.

LeegHoofD: does your AiSUite run on your P5K dlxe please ?

Just use coretemp, none of these would provide accurate, but most of us assume coretemp is pretty close..., according to intelspecs, these cpu may run up to 71c. I would say when your below 60c( load), would be ideal so u got some headroom. And I hope not 49c u got that during Idle.... thats way to hot, u may then reseat your heatsink or backoff the clocks abit, as Mine is that almost during load. ( 52c @ coretemp), I am idleing between 26-30c, depends on room temp and fanspeed.

I'll install it tomorrow , though I run WinxP64 for the 4 gig of Gskill ram... will keep ya posted

hey,

is there anywhere all bios settings (cpu ppl voltage, cpu voltage reference etc.) described somewhere? this thread is 63 pages long :(

Hi Guys !

I need some help and have a few questions...

I'm benchmarking and need some more vcore, at > 1,625 with the damper enabled i get a "CPU OVERVOLTAJE ERROR" and no matter the vcore i put on bios seems to be always at 1,625...

Another question is that (i read all about D9's die) if only for benching i can raise the Vdimm til 2,4 or 2,5 to achieve 1350Mhz, i already did but then i get scared :)

Thanks !
Best regards for all
Sergio

1.625 is way too much for your cooling.

Not sure what rev exactly, but it's early. Bios 601. The differences in those temp reports are normal. Even within the cores. At least you have temps you can read. With negative temps, Asus and others don't bother to enable those reading at all. :(

to Leeghoofd: Did you manage to install and run AiSuite please ?

Yes installed the latest version from Asus website (v10202) installed fine and runs fine (I don't get any errors , though I never OC via software like this)

Do you want me to run something ?

http://users.pandora.be/OAP2/aisuite.JPG

Thanks Leeghoofd, I just wonder why mine won't run at all, I even installed a newer version that ASUS sent me, still no joy.
When I click on it I get the hour glass for about 3 seconds then nothing.

If I try to re-start windows I have to end AISuite before it will shut down, so I presume it is hanging somehow.
I just don't know what else to try, I hate it when something doesn't work as it should :) I am running BIOS version 0404 don't know if that is why it won't work.

I had the same problem when I moved from Intel XBX to Asus P5K3 mobo; uninstalling all the Intel drivers and stuff wasn't enough. I had to do a clean install of XP to get AISuite to work (or rather, become visible. It was in the process list but not showing).

Could you please look in the registry under software AISuite for what it says there, I don't wnat to re-install Windows as I used PCMover to migrate all my programs and settings from my old PC to the new one and it would be a nightmare if I have to re-install Windows.

Prolly your install of winblows is borked, I had that too once, a fresh copy did the trick... I can try on the Maximus wich is on winXP but I think the problem isn't a typical P5K Dlx issue... maybe you can try a bios update but I don't think it will solve much...

Keep me posted mate... for the rest your rig runs troublefree ?

There is obviosly some software or driver conflict with AISuite and quite frankly there are better monitoring utilities out there including Everest. I wouldn't waste your time with it and it's certainly not worth a reinstall. If you really want to use it though, I would do a start/run/msconfig, turn off everything in startup and all non Microsoft things in "services" tab, and then reboot and try ai again, if it works, then turn things back on in msconfig in small groups until it fails again and then you isolate the conflict. To me it's not even worth that much trouble.

I ran OCCT for 30 minutes and got a stable report.
But today I put on my Arctic Freezer7 Pro cooler and had a BSOD whilst I was away from the PC, strange but when I first put it on the temps had dropped for the 4 cores using Everest 4.20 by 10°C each, but now they are nearly the same as with the stock HSF.

A bit puzzled by that, I have had good results with the Arctic before now, in fact I have them on my 3 systems and they are all overclocked.
I had a bit of difficulty getting the arctic fastening pins seated at first but I have checked and it is secure, just wondering whether I disturbed the MX2 stuff a bit when I took it off a couple of times during the fitting.

At the moment I have the following temps:

Motherboard 37 °C
CPU 37°C
CPU 1/Core1 47°
CPU1/ Core2 47°C
CPU1/ Core3 39°C
CPU1/ Core4 38°C
GPU 40°C
GPU Diode 48°C
GPU ambient 37°C
Maxtor HDD 28°C ( HDD cooler fitted).


Quite happy with the CPU Queen Everest Benchmark at 24,628 which is faster than the Maxiumus with the Extreme Q9650 :)

Recently I just purchased another set of these G.Skill F2-6400PHU1-2GBHZ's to go with the set I already had so I could run 4GB. Only reason I didn't get 2x2GB was because I already had these nice 2x1GB set. I figured I would try the settings that have been rock stable for me for over 4 months. My original setup was 9x390 DDR@ 1170 2.2V. After I put in the extra 2GB the system would not evne boot correctly anymore. I attempted to experiment with different settings but still even at DDR 975 4-4-4-12 which was stable before I put in the extra RAM didn't work.

Anytime I would run Prime 25.5(blend) It would fail after about 1 HR at the most, sometimes within a minute.

The one thing i'm not sure what to set is the sub timings which have stayed on AUTO and worked without problems.

If there are certain known sub timings that work with the HZ's please by all means provide some input on these or any other settings that might help.

Current BIOS is 603

Before this current setup the only difference was the memory was at DDR 1170 2.2V and 5-5-5-15 and this ran months without issues rock stable but with the extra 2GB of memory it would not even boot at these settings.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Has anyone put penryn in this board yet?

If any of you are gamers, have you had a weird whining sound when in game that disappears when you go to desktop ?

I get a squealing or whining when I stress the CPU hard - squealing coming from PSU as well as the mobo when I push the FSB and voltage...could it be the sound of the mofsets or caps working hard?

I get a squealing whenever the CPU is put on load. It drives me crazy if it's on my main station, as that just sits out on my desk on a Tech Station, so I make sure it's always in one of the secondary rigs that's inside a case, so it isn't so noticeable.

Do you hear this sound with or without headphones on , this sound is coming through my headphones.

The sound I hear is coming from the board itself.

Are you using onboard sound? I get whining and different noises using onboard sound, which is why I use a soundcard for my gaming computer.

Yes I am using the onboard sound.

I get a whine off my boards, Pw5DH, P5E when stress testing with various 3DMark programs. Always have.

It is not loud only present.

Also with Everest, you got 24,xxx on CPU Queen, I only get 11xxx my OC is close to yours, but the program is not designed for X38. You sure your were not reading the test below- Photo something?

sparx

No definately CPU Queen.

I guess I'll have to buy a Creative XHiFi Gamer sound card :(

I would have thought ASUS would have tested the boards onboard sound properly.

But judging by their appalling Forum web site and Tech support I shouldn't be that surprised. lol their Forum webmaster hasn't logged in since September 2006 , what a fiasco.

Anyone have the same memory as in my sig? please post your memory timings if possible.

Have you tried 4-4-4-15 ? I found these looser timings better with my OCZ and they are running at DDR 912 and are quite cool.

I ran OCCT and they are stable.

Yeah i tried that. I just don't know where to begin with these sub timings.

The post on the page before explains my situation.

Any comments on my posted questions on page 63 please ?

you dont have any questions posted on page 63.

Actually, he has several.

so does anyone know mean what cpu voltage reference, pll voltage etc mean?

this might not be the place to ask this but, does anyone tried using both LAN on the P5K-Deluxe wifi motherboard at the same time? i intend to use LAN1 for internet access and LAN2 to connect to a notebook(eliminating a router/hub) wherein it too can access the net thru mine. any help, guide or link/s gladly appreciated. thanks

i did try, and had no problems..

Clock Over-Charging Mode What is it ?
Thanks

Bios 0703 is posted

They updated the bios, new settings and what not.

Looks like they made it more like the X38 series bios's??

Welcomed surprise :)

Some FTP ,

dlsvr01 may not work, try dlsvr02. ;D

ftp://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/s...K%20Deluxe
ftp://dlsvr02.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/s...5/P5K%20Deluxe

ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socke...eluxe/0703.zip

I downloaded and installed 0703 - big mistake.
My system now blue screens when i add more than two ram modules.
No problem I say - just go back to 0404 - wrong!
When I try to flash the 0404 bios I get the message, "version in rom file is older than existing board.
Anybody know how to get past this? I have gone back to an older version before with no problem but now it stops me.
I should know better :(.

THX i can't connect to asus homepage to download this but ur link worked fine.:clap:

People. After flash 703,

1- Turn off sistem, disconect power cable.
2- Take off batterie
3- Clear CMOS 2min
4- Replace batterie
5- Turn ON sistem
6- F1 and configure your new BIOS.

New settings added :cool:

Don't freak out just yet, Here is a possible solution:

Take all your RAM out except the one in slot 4 (the one farthest from the CPU). Turn your machine on and you should be able to configure everything. I think it has something to do with the amount of Northbridge voltage with multiple sticks of RAM installed. I run 4x1GB and sometimes it does this after a bad OC attempt.

I actually bought another P5K Deluxe because I thought my 'old' board was toast... low and behold I see a post on a forum, tried this solution out and now I have two MB's...so I turned one into a 3.6Ghz e6600/P5K Deluxe Rendering Machine :) Bingo, with extra parts(and parts I thought were bad aka the MB) I now have another machine :)

Hope this helps!
jeeka.

PS. 0703 BIOS did the same thing to me that happened to you. My fix worked. and am back at my same settings as pre-update.

actually, the board was not toasted. I was able to get to bios, just not, at first, able to run more than two ram modules.
I am still not able to revert to an older bios but I no longer want to. I was able to get all four ram modules running by bumping the Vdimm to 1.25.
The new bios is, otherwise, better. Vdroop has all but disappeared and stability is great.

wow they reduced the vdroop even more? I got 0.016 vdroop during full load for my Quad and 0.008 for Core 2. Now it is 0,00? I am still on the 0301:D

Hi, I installed this 0703 bios and now my wifi card isn't working, it doesn't even show up in windows in network connections.
Does anyone has de same problem?
BTW i also have a problem with one of my usb in device manager 1 of the usb connections shows up with a yellow sign. Does anyone know how to fix this ?

Thanks:up:

genec57,
Doh, my bad. Well at least someone will pick up on it if they have a similar issue.

They must have REALLY loosened things up on the chipset timings because I can barely break 8000MB/sec. in Sandra now. Before I was getting 8450+MB/sec.

I had the chipset strap set to AUTO, and seeing as how there is now a 400FSB strap, I figured it must have defaulted to that, because I am running 475FSB...So I set it to 333Mhz strap and I am still barely able to get over 8000MB/sec.....

Anyone else confirm this?
jeeka.

Pretender, is it the one labeled 293C? I have the same issue as of right now, usually I just disable it, then enable it again and the yellow icon goes away, this time though, it told me to restart to have the changes take effect. I will get back to you on this.

jeeka.
