0908? Works well for me.
I had a $20 discount coming from NewEgg and needed a board fast, and cheap ;) They had the "vanilla" as open box for $89, I grabbed it and got it for $69 with the discount I had for them screwing up my last order.
I did all the vmods except for vcore, didn't have a 100k vr. Without mods the best I could do was boot at around 420fsb, my ram just wouldn't run any faster at 2.1v. After the mods with vdimm at 2.35v, vdoop set so I get exactly what I set in bios, and vmch and fsfb at 1.45v, I can now boot at 500fsb and it's at least superpi stable.
I got this 6700es to 4.6ghz on a DFI 975 board, it benched superpi 1m at 11.2sec. I want a sub 11sec pi and am pretty sure I can get it with this board (I'm insulating it for some dry ice runs), I only need about 4.63 to get sub 11's.

just got a P5B 0806 and E6600,
running at 3.4ghz ( 378*9 or 425*8 both stable )
3.45 fails prime after like 2 hours and 3.5ghz freezes on prime
vcore = 1.6 ( 1.5 idle 1.49 load)
vdimm 2.1v Geil 400mhz 4-4-4-12 @ 425mhz 4-5-5-12
60 degrees load
superpi 1mb 15 seconds exactly
problems im getting is in cpuz 1.38 it doest show all my mem timings, like command rate is greyed out and has no number in the box so i dont know if im running at 1T or 2T
how do u do any of the vmods
I just modded this board to allow me more vdimm, but unable to find Northbridge voltage adjustment, does this board even support NB voltage adjustments? :S

Got it, thanks man, will be trying it out soon :D
do u have a link
new p5b ,vcore and vdimm mods done :p

would you recommend this mobo to someone who needs most of all a reliable and stable system?
does this mobo overclock good enough (around 450 fsb) without any mods?
will i need a chipset fan around 450 fsb?
thank you :)
I have the C1 Chipset and it does 450 easily without any mods
do you have to active cool it or are you with stock heatsink?Quote:

i mean, have they increased the max vdimm to support the latest high performance ddr2 modules?
no 2.1 max, u need a mod, if u can afford a p5b delux then get it otherwise its still a good board
would you characterise it as stable/reliable or should i better go for the ds3 ?
I would go P5B vanilla over DS3, it's a great board.
Yup, love this one to bits! Cheap as chips too and overclocks like a MONSTER when vmodded. It's pretty damn good when stock too though, only thing limiting it is the lack of vCore (though that'll be the same on the DS3 too afaik)Quote:

Well, the Biostar seems more attractive to me then - especially after the new BIOS update.
It's wierd, because I thought this was kickass fsb-clocker; everyone was doing like 450 fsb :o
So with the new 1007 BIOS, what does it mean by "suuports 4X DIMM"?
I've had trouble in the past running 4 modules in the board (got all kinds of system restarts and shutdowns). Eventually ended up selling the other 2 sticks...Does this mean it can now run 4 modules reliably?
Thanks!

Mine is at 450 stable right now. Gonna research my ram a little more before I push it. It's ddrs 800 ram and I have it running at 900 stock.
It will actually boot up to 800 but fails pretty hard when testing it.
What exactly does fsb termination voltage do? That might be the problem.
I know this clock isn't a cpu wall. Its motherboard or ram.
Has anyone had problems running 4GB of ram (PC6400) on this board? I had troubles running 3GB, but thats because I think the timings were a hair different (both made by Corsair, and both XMS2, matched pairs - one 2GB pair, and one 1GB pair). The board didn't like the mismatch apparently..
I was thinking about getting another set of 2GB modules to run with the 2GB pair I was left with when I ditched the 1GB pair... What do you all think?
Thanks!

i hit a wall at 3.15 ghz then i put FSB termination at max 1.45v and now i can boot 3.5ghz and 3.4ghz stable at 425x8=3400
Hey all, I just wanted to post with some great news. I just got my p5b vanilla in from newegg. Immediately put the hr05 on the nb, and put some thermal compound on the sb. Then booted up and went in bios to see what was there.
Here's the great news! vdimm goes all the way up to 2.45v!! vmch goes all the way up to 1.77 (1.7_ I think it's a 7). vfsb goes up to 1.45v. There's adjustments for vcore southbridge (pcie/sata) as well as vich.
I was able to boot with everything on auto except for 1.4v vcore and 2.15v vdimm at 8x400. However, for some reason, g71gs was stuck at x1 instead of x16. I did some fiddling and toggled the force x1 a few times as well as brought vmch up to 1.55v (didn't bother with the 1.40v one since I remember on the ds3, it would be finicky with cold boots if vmch wasn't held at 1.55v), gave a slight bump to vcore_sb (since I'm running pcie at 110), vfsb up to 1.4v to match vcore. So far, it looks great. I love it to death over the god damned ds3.
The only thing that needs to be worked on is vdrop and vdroop. I understand pencil shading for vdroop should fix drop as well depending on resistance, correct?
I'm setting 1.40v in bios, seeing 1.35v at idle, and 1.30v at load. Good lord!! Can't wait to get my new psu in so I can try for 3.6ghz again. I was almost stable before, but it was pushing the ultra vpower 500w too hard. It would give out harsh electrical burning smells under load at 3.6 and eventually lead to instability.
edit: vdimm above 2.1v is not real. goes back to 1.8v
Hallo a friend of mine have a problem,after a lan he came home and his p5b was dead.in the morning it starts, but only the fans and leds, whith one memory in. He says the leds blink like crazy.anyone have a idea?
