Why aren't more ppl using this board? As it seems as one of the best.
Well it's +1 for me. Just ordered it at last. I've had to order my dads rig, but he's paid me some back so it went straight into this board.Quote:

From the moment i saw this board (i've always used Asus for their grate quality) i was just waiting fro more reviews and new BIOS do to the trick. I wan it cuzz it look so sexy also, (i want my next board to black hell yeah) and the layout is good.
Ummm just watching Asus page everyday... they now have like 15+ boards that support C2D. I wanna see that P5B-V in action.
I'm going to try a Scythe Mine with a 120mm capable of up to 2.5k RPMs on the P5B Deluxe until I can get my hands on a Tuniq Tower 120. I've got all my system fans on Sunbeam 4 channel rheobus so I can dial them up as needed.Quote:

I've also trawled through these forums, but can't find the point where the Conroe will need more volts. I've never touched volts through BIOS before at all, so pushing on stock is all I know.
Looks like I need a mentor :D
Hope you guys post your results,P5B deluxe is one fine board.
Im ordering 2 of them today or tomorrow to pair up with an E6300 and E6400, both with teamgroup xtreme 5300 2gig sets.Quote:

I can tell you with both my E6700 and E6400 they will do up to 3.2GHz on stock voltage. To keep 3.3GHz they needed a slight bump in voltage. For 3.5GHz to 3.6GHz they need around 1.5v for both to keep it stable. The E6700 needs all of 1.6v to do 3.7GHz for some reason and my air cooling can not tame it. If I did as some of these other fellows and lost my case it might be a different story. A 425FSB @ an 8 x multi is alarmingly simple with my E6400, I don't have to start getting tricky til 435, and @ 439 I am pretty much done on this unmodded P5W DH D. I can boot 439 x 8 and that's it. If I desire more I have to resort to clockgen. I have been playing with a 450FSB @ an 8 x multi and may be able to get it stable tuning with MemSet. We will see.
I hope I have cause to proclaim, " Crikey! Have a go at that!" in the coming week for the right reasons. You know if Steve Irwin was into building his own rigs, he'd be an overclocker.
I'll post up my results with my P5B Deluxe for all to see later in the week in the Intel section. They won't be Xtreme and I hope respectable.
I'll be waiting for them results m8. You've got a close system to what Ill have. The Antec P180 (not that rev.1 and rev.2 are much different), a Sunbeam Rheobus, WD Raptor 74GB, 7950GX2. PC2-6400 4-4-4-12 memory.... Not a perfect match, but close ;)Quote:

Doing it on a straight 500FSB for 3.5GHz raises the score to 51304:

Thing is I was stuck @ 3.51 GHz with my P5W and so far I am up to 3.7GHz with my P5B Dlx. My 3dmark06 CPU score @ 3.7GHz is 3156 thats way better than I what I can get on the P5W @ 3.51.

hi,
is the difference important between the Vcore while you're in IDLE and FULL with the P5B dlx?
cause it seems that it is important with the P5B (not dlx).
Actually i don't really care about the difference between windows and the bios (drop) i just want to know if the Vcore is stable :)
Not a big difference. There is some droop, though I haven't measured with a DMM.Quote:

nice work there malficar:toast:
my Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi arrives tomorrow hope i can get some FSB like that with a E6400 under phase;)
I'm jealous. You should be able to really let go with the vcore. If my set up could tame 1.6v I'd probably be on 3.8 GHz. Heck I can boot 3.9 GHz and it's hella unstable.Quote:

I will probably relax the memory tomorrow and see if I get any further.
For guys looking for a great gaming rig for decent cash I'd definitely say P5B Deluxe and an E6300. 400 x 7 for general use and 500-522 x 7 on air for gaming or very demanding tasks. The 7950 GX2 also runs great in this board under BIOS 0507.
@malficar
Did you run Orthos yet at 3.7? Or is that the highest benchable? I might give this board a try since Asus is neglecting the P5W.
Nice results, Malficar.:)
Nice one Malficar. You know I'm gonna be seeking your advice on my E66 build w/ this board!
Thanks guys,Quote:

If any odd behavior crops up I will definitely do an entire suite of stability tests. I am sure I will run Orthos at some point and will update when I do. Right now I am gaming a lot.
@Moonraker
Well right off, do what most others suggest, start with the ram on by SPD and @ 1:1. Both my Asus boards love 1:1. Keep your NB cool as possible and of course your CPU. I like my Antec case because it isolates my hard disks and PSU from the rest of my rig and provides them with their own fresh air.
I was shocked I can actually boot 500 x 7 with the NB @ stock, the CPU @ 1.45v and ram 2.25. I haven't tried it for stability though. It was fine for surfing and dinking around. I'll test it thoroughly later as time allows. I just got my board late yesterday.
My E6400 will do 3.2 GHz in this board and the P5W with all voltages stock. I don't have to get aggressive with voltage til 3.7GHz or high in 3.6. Right now I am doomed with any OC that requires 1.6v on the core. My system's cooling can't tame it. I may move to an open air "tech station" set up down the line. It would make fiddling with my hardware like I like to do much easier and allow for potentially higher OCs on air.
I've noticed a lot of folks with impressive air OCs have the mobo out sitting on the box it came in :P, with a Tuniq Tower 120 of course!
anyone know of a store to buy the resistors on page 5
Highest FSB so far with Kentsfield and P5B Dlx

I don't think it really matters where you buy the board. Just look for the reseller with the cheapest price and a good return policy.
Regarding Vmods, I don't think they're really needed on this board, unless you are trying for world records. It's much easier to hit 500+ FSB with Allendale. But with the right cooling, 500+ is possible with Conroe.
My two favorite BIOS's are 0502 and 0504. With 0504, I can run my RAM at DDR2-1200 and 4-4-4 timings. It also unlocks the downward multipliers on Conroe.
I've also noticed slightly better results in Cinebench with the P5B Dlx versus the P5WDG2 WS Pro. I think the 965 chipset is better in rendering than the 975X.
Sierra, have you tried the new 0605 bios with the Kentsfield?
Yes, I've used 0605. I found 0502 is better for Kentsfield. This is the only board I've tried that allows 400+ FSB with Kentsfield. FSB speed is very important in Cinebench. A few weeks ago, I thought I was limited to 400FSB. But with 0502, I'm up to 435.
The biggest negative about 965 boards is they suck in 32M. I believe the chipset has higher latency than 975X. You won't notice this in SuperPi 1M because that bench is so short. But you will in 32M. The time below would be much faster with a 975X board, especially given the RAM speed.
0502 also has some sort of bug. When I set 4-4-4 timings in BIOS, CPU-Z reads them as 4-7-7. A few people have brought up this issue.

Seems many peoples hit over 500 fsb on these mobos :)
Here is Kentsfield with 0605 bios. CPU-Z reads timings correctly. Good memory speed, but won't boot with 400 FSB. With 0502, 400+ is no problem.

I got my P5B Deluxe from ClubIT for 205usd. It's back in stock too.
http://www.clubit.com/product_detail...temno=A4802815
I got mine from Scan here in England. £128. That's £20 dearer than you paid malficar (£108).
Bloody hate this countries Tax system. So stupid.
A couple of notes about the 0609 BIOS that AndreYang kindly made available.:)
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=113866
The BIOS shows multipliers up to 12 are available for Kentsfield. But when I tried to use 11 and then 12, it dropped back down to 10. 4:5 performance is better, as Andre indicated. But FSB on Kentsfield is more limited than some of the other BIOS's I've tried.
If you want fully unlocked multipliers for Kentsfield, the best options right now are the Asus P5W DH and the P5WDG2 WS Pro. The P5W64 WS Pro might also be a good choice. The one advantage to using the P5B Dlx is it's the only board I've tried that allows FSB on Kentsfield above 400.
not great, but not bad either. I doubt its fully stable yet. 1.45vcore in bios.
Max stable FSb and max SP1M clock,not bad :D

I think people have this misconception that CPU speed is the only thing that matters. But even if your CPU is not great, you can still get decent results if you have good RAM and know how to use ratios.
OK here's a thing on the subject of RAM ratios.
I brought some PC2-6400 800mhz GeIL memory. I've installed everything and had to change it in the P5B Bios to DDR2-800 as it wasn't set at that when it came.
Now I'm looking at CPU-Z and the E6600 is at stock (266 FSB) and the memory is set to 400mhz (which should be correct as that's what it is).
These are my sticks: http://www.geilusa.com/proddetail.asp?linenumber=74#
Here's a link to show the same ones from where I brought them: 3rd ONES DOWN
It's saying the divider is 2:3 and this on the SPD screen:
Please help. I'm a complete knob when it comes to memory stuff! Thanks :)
http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/3073/1ws2.png http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/2003/2vq3.png
The BIOS automatically calculates the memory speed, depending on which ratio you choose.
When you selected DDR2-800, you were telling the BIOS you wanted the memory to run at 400MHz, which is the same as DDR2-800. If you want to run 1:1, select the top memory ratio on the menu which probably says DDR-533 (assuming you're still running FSB at 266MHz).
Yes I am running @ stock right now, as I'm just making sure everything is working inside the case and running fine before I start benching.Quote:

I was right about the "cool chamber" thing that I said my P180 would be. Temps are far cooler inside the case than outside of it!

Im disabling all the CPU extras (such as Speedstep etc) and the computer boots fine into windows without any problems.
I can have the PC on all day using it for games etc at 3010Mhz. However, when I turn the PC off at night, once I turn it on again in the morning I encounter one long beep and three short beeps and the system fails to post (a memory error im led to belive).
The memory Im using is GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400 800MHz Low Latency Kit as seen here http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatal...R2_Memory.html
Im also getting the False start when turning the PC on after it being overclocked.
First post here, but any help you can provide is appreciated!
Welcome to XS. The temporary shut-off is normal. Many Conroe boards do that.
You might try raising memory voltage to 2.2v. See if that helps. Do you have the same boot-up problem if your memory is running with SPD timings? If not, then maybe you need to adjust your timings when running manual.
Not sure what you mean by SPD timings but if you mean when i set my memory speed manually to 4, 5, 5, 12 then I still had the same problem.
Is 2.2v safe for the memory? Its just that the bios colour turns to red (as opposed to purple for 2.0v)
SPD stands for Serial Presence Detect. It's enabled by default in the BIOS. When you boot up the computer, the BIOS reads information stored on an EEPROM chip on the memory modules. This information includes the size of the modules, data width, etc. Memory manufacturers generally program loose timings into the EEPROM to ensure the board will boot up.
It's possible your RAM is not compatible with the board. The beep code you mentioned does indicate a RAM problem.
damn it im still waiting for my psu, and your up and running already :slobber:Quote:

I managed to get it up to 564 Mhz validated here: http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=118197 completely unmodded, retail chipset cooling and cpu cooled by Mach II GT using some Patriot PC2-8000 sticks. As they would fail at around the same speed on a 4:5 divider I believe the motherboard might even do more Mhz with even better memory, but that's pure speculation. I don't have the memory to test it...
Also managed to run superpi @ 530 Mhz fsb 1:1 with 4 sticks of Corsair PC5400UL @ cas 4-3-3-8. Pretty good stuff IMHO. So good in fact, I haven't even tried out my P5WDH at all yet because I've been busy playing with the P5B deluxe :D
waoh...lets see some benches larck
Here's a 1M run @ 555 Mhz fsb, with validated cpuz:Quote:

Sierra what is the real VCore there? Is CPU-Z reporting that wrongly?
I'm just starting my OC and I have it at 2.88ghz (320*9). The Vcore is @ 1.38v. - so is that crap or good?
It's set to "auto" in BIOS as I'm not really sure when to raise it, so I guess it takes what it needs now. - Just like the memory. I don't know what to set that to either, so that's on auto. The system is running fine though so far.
I was using 1.57v, if I recall correctly. The latest version of CPU-Z does not read the voltage of my ES chip correctly.
You might be able to run higher with 1.38v. I think 3GHz is possible with that voltage.
A-ha! Now I get somewhere. I use BIOS for overclocking, I just prefer that route than AI booster etc.Quote:

Also, as I've always gone with "push it to what the stock volts can take", how do you know when to give it more Volts? and is there a program that shows memory voltages too (as mobo is set to auto)
Cheers bound. I have faith in this chip!
That's still on a non volt-modded board, right sierra? Those 6400C3s are insane, aren't they? :) When you get a chance, can you see how high it will go for 32M, please?Quote:

Thanks. Yes, unmodded board.:)
HELP!!!
Give me some wisdom.
The max I can get is 2.88ghz on (320*9). I have given it more volts (up to 1.45) and nothing. Just won't boot. Not only that, I have to get my old PS2 keyboard and unplug all USB devices as the system will freeze otherwise.
My memory is GeIL PC2-6400 although CPU-Z lists it as different to that and only offers the DDR800 4-4-4-12 on a 266FSB (which is fine as it's then 1:1).
But I just want to know, is the 320FSB limit due to the x9 multi? Or is there something else I need to do? I've disabled Speedstep thing.
Also, I can't get full details on my memory sticks so I really don't know what my manual settings would be.
can anyone shed some light on this please?!?!?!?
Thx guys. I'm in pain!!
Try raising FSB Termination Voltage and NB VCore to maximum settings. Raising NB voltage will cause the northbridge to run hotter. Also raise memory voltage. Try 2.2v then 2.3v.
You might also drop by this thread. There may be some answers there for you.
Thanks Sierra. I will look soon, but I must do some design work now, as I need to get a logo done for a client, but I'm desperate to sort something out.
I wanted to get past 3ghz at least (for regular gaming use etc) - but really wanted to bench it first to see where it could go.
* Oh and one other thing. When settings are on auto.... are they automatically on the lowest? Otherwise what does the N/B, memory and FSB TV originally run at so I know what to increase it to.
Thanks m8!
I tested mine today .

spi time is a bit high couse i have ' nt search 4 the best ram timmings yet
I think maybe I have a crap board then. It's a bit crap that I can't get above 2.8ghz on stock. Or is it me being pessimistic, but to me that seems wrong. I'll try it with x8 multi and see if i can get to 3gig on stock.
Looking at Athens on stock though, good scores for him, but pain for me.... :(
My new PSU, and PCI-e 6pin cable to allow my old tagan to work will both be here today, so i will hopefully be assembling 1 rig today, and another by the end of the week.
Come on citylink.
Moonraker, have you tried reading all the stickies about setting for your P5B-D ? I'm sure you have.
Or maybe just trying the fsb at a high value to start with, say +400 ?
I have. I've re-read through them too. Unless there's any I've missed?!?!
It freezes at 330mhz, so I take it 400 would.
Are there anythings I need to turn off that maybe I haven't? That Speedstep is disabled by myself.
freezing at 330 sounds like you didn't set ram to 1:1 which would be the lowest multiplier (i think)
I've never had it on anything but 1:1.Quote:

Lol weird. Keep pushing it though mate :DQuote:

@ Levish & adfinni - This is what I'm at right now: http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/8607/latestocce8.png Still with 1.4v to CPU.
@ dumo - :eek: Congrats mate :toast:
FSB testing with 0614 bios. I think 540 is doable. I've been playing with this CPU for only five minutes.

nice sierra_bound :)
0614 bios seem to be a good one, 450 on the kentf , try 6300 tomorrow sub zero.
Thanks, Rol-Co.:)
32M tests. Not looking for best times yet. Just testing a few things.;)

By keeping FSB below 400, I can take advantage of faster strap.
i think its already a awesome result 3950 air, and 12.53 :toast:
That is ace Sierra.
Do you think 0614 is better than 0507?
X6800 on P5B Dx is a dangerous weapon - open multi sure is a life-safer for fast 32M! Man, I want X6800 :lol:
So, next step will be e.g. 384x12, DDR2-DDR-1152 on your ss? :) SPi32M will be awesome! Good luck, if that's your plan, sierra :up:
EDIT: I was quick, can you even do x12 on P5B Dx? What about 395x10 DDR-1184, before you go ss? Your C3 can pull it off, right? It was 1190 max for 32m, as far as I remember...
0614 bios has multipliers up to 13 for the X6800. And yes, I will give 2:3 ratio a try soon.
stock cooling..... p5bdlx

Whats best choice for E6400, P5B or P5B dlx?
really nice work with the p5b unmodded Sierra.:toast:
What bios do you like the best with your c3's if you dont mind me asking?
testing for a while now , but i think 0614 is best bios so far....
kentsfield multiplier working on 2 di .....so kp ..;) (gain higher 3d with kent :) )
Thanks.:)Quote:

The CPU also determines how high the FSB will go. My X6800 does 535FSB on air easily. But my 6600ES won't even do 500FSB on air, only with sub-zero cooling.
