You must buy 1.02G. 1.01 cannot support MCH and 2.1V+ Vdimm voltage. They are different layout and BIOS.

Hi Andre -

Just want to clairify: Ver 1.02G will have Vmch adjustments?

Also, is this an 8 phase board, like the current P5B-DLX?

I didn't see power phases mentioned on Asus' site, & can't tell from the pics.

(I hate to make an assumption)

Thanks.

Damn. Well, I'm crossing my fingers that the one I just ordered is a new one, but seeing as how it's not quite October yet, that's unlikely. I guess I'll have to get the soldering iron ready.

The 1.02G allows up to 1.7V on the MCH. The board will marketed under a different brand name, probably P5B- E SE or something like it. So far I have hit 6x590 with it, not stable but trying for 600. 550 should be stable on this board in the end. :D

How high can you get it with default MCH voltage? I'm debating if I should even keep what I suspect will be a 1.01 revision arriving on Friday. :(

I just got my board and it is indeed the 1.01G :( I'm still debating on even using it, being that I shelled out a good deal of cash for some OCZ PC8000 Platinum XTC. 2.1v isn't going to be enough to push these things....

I have stated several times that the first boards will be C1 then followed up by the C2. By the way, no difference in performance between the boards with C1 or C2 unless you have the 1.02G board. This myth about C2 being better is pure horse crap, it is the new board designs and bios that make a difference. ;)

My C1 does 7x401 and actually overclocks just a tad better than the C2 board, just not the C2 1.02G board. ;) Asus estimated MSRP has not changed, it is just the price being charged by the e-tailors has for the current time.

Did you replace the TIM on the NB? I haven't yet... not sure how much difference it will make.

Also, do you have probs from 360-399 and then fine at 400 like the P5B-Dlx, or are you good all the way to 401?

When will the 1.02G version of this be available?

I like the lay out of this board, has just what I need, looks like it would be great for water cooling.(No heat pipe coolers).

Been looking for Core 2 board to run a E6600@3.6 for 2 weeks now. Think I found it.

The Abit AW9D-Max looks good to but it has the heatpipe cooler. Don't want hack up the cooler, makes resale hard later..

No issues at all, on the 1.01G boards I just run it up to around 500~505 without issue. On the 1.02G boards I have to increase the MCH Voltage (not available on the 1.01G) starting around 400 but have hit 550FSB on it to date, just not stable yet.

2GB 2x1 OCZ PC8000 Plat XTC

1.4500 Vcore
2.1 VDimm
1.3-1.45 FSB Term V (tested all three settings)

tested DRAM timings by SPD and hardcoded to 5-5-5-15 with loose subtimings.

PCI-E:100Mhz
PCI Lock: 33.3
Spread Spect: Disable
All thermal control options: Disable

Top "stable" FSB: ("Stable"=Memtest x86 plus pass with no errors for at least 4 hrs)
2:3 Mem: 354

Replaced the thermal material on the NB with AS5... made no difference.

Why would slower ram settings = lesser stability? Did I just get an completely bum board?

Overclocking Question

I am considering either wait for P5B-E 1.02G or buy P5B Deluxe.
Is it correct that this P5B-E 1.02G is better for overclocking than P5B Deluxe?

I have contacted Asus, hit 9x370 stable 1:1, nothing more after it,no issue with the board posting at 9x425, it is not stable until I hit 9x370 or so.

Just wanted to post quickly to let you guys know that I'm up and running with this thing. I noticed when I was booting today that my BIOS rev. was 0201, which I noticed didn't match the "Release" BIOS ver on the Asus website. I didn't even bother to look before since they labled that one as release. I've now flashed the board with the 0306 and I've tested memtest stable sofar @ 390FSB.

I'll post further results after I get my overall system speed worked out. I will say, however, that this thing is in serious need of a VDROOP mod. When set to 1.5250 in the BIOS the voltage dips down to 1.403 under full load. Now that the chipset seems to be performing decent, however, perhaps I'll start looking into VDroop/VMCH/VMem mods.

Thanks for your help bingo, and the suggestion Gary.

Especially interests VMCH mode and VCORE mode! My mobo does not raise a VCORE above 1.5 on CORE :-( (My memory perfectly works at 1:1 on VMEM 2.1 - OCZ XTX Gold 8000) But for the processor it is necessary1.7 (Tried on p5w, on VCORE 1.7 its working 4 G) I need BIOS 0402 Cant find it $(

I purchased one of these from Newegg along with an E6400 and 2gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800. It should be arriving in the mail tomorrow afternoon. Should I be worried about the 1.01g and C1 stepping? I want to push my new parts to the limit and will exchange the board for a P5B Delux or even wait a month for the 1.02g if it will get me a higher overclock. I don’t plan on any hardware modding of my board. What recommendations do you guys have? In any case, if I open the P5B-E box I'll report back on what I can get out of it.

I haven't tested the max speed of my MCH yet, but if you or I get in the neighborhood of Bingo then it's not too shabby. There are no inherit performance differences between the c1 and c2 revisions, the only downsides I see with the 1.01g vs. 1.02g are the following:

-Vmem to 2.1 only (mod?)
-no Vmch
-3 phase power

Hopefully with the help of some of the guys in the xtreme overclocking section can help me figure out some mods for this board.

I do see some definate advatages to this board over the P5B-Dlx, the main one being that it scales all the way to 400Mhz FSB with no instability, whereas from what I've read about the P5B-Dlx, 360-399 can be tricky. I haven't yet checked to see if the timings are loosened (higher strap) at 400Mhz, but I'll get to it and post results. My initial performance results have been promising; I'm testing at 383x9 (3447Mhz)on a 6600 with the ram at DDR2-958 5-5-5-15 (haven't tweaked yet) and I'm getting a 1M superpi time of about 14.8 in xp with all the background junk still running.

3phase/Vdroop has to do with CPU overclocking, not MCH, and if you want to do any serious clocking with this board a VDimm mod will be required as well.

Now if you wait for 1.02g (like you stated) the VDimm will be taken care of and I suspect the vdroop effect will be minimized by the 8phase design.

As of now, I have to set the Vcore to 1.5325 to get 1.42v under load. That's fine considering the board goes up to around 1.7, but the one part I don't like about that is giving 1.475v to my cpu while idle.

I'm not sure.. that's totally speculative. What I do find odd is the guys at anandtech didn't have nearly as large a drop in voltage on their P5B-E boards as I did, but they were running a newer BIOS that hasn't been released yet. Given that the VDroop is a documented "feature" in the intel specs, I wonder if it's extent is tweaked in different BIOS releases.

Crud I ordered one of these on the 1st from newegg :( before I read about 1.02G revision ... I figured id take a chance because I really wanted to upgrade my pc and didnt know there was going to be a new revision

damn that sucks tho that its limited to 2.1 volts for ram and I got PC2 G.Skill DDR2 800 some of the best overclocking ram out there

I get my package today from newegg ... do you guys think I should return it to newegg and get my money back if its 1.01G ? then just wait until the 1.02G's ship out

Edit: ill just return it and get a P5W DH from zipzoomfly ($240) if I get a rev 1.01G ... that 2.1v memory voltage problem really bugs me
10-05-2006, 09:36 AM

*update*

The One I got from Newegg is indeed Rev 1.01G but newegg was nice enough to issue me an RMA refund, when i get my money back i will be getting an Asus P5W DH instead, I dont feel like waiting until November for the Rev 1.02's and risk getting a 1.01 agian (that issue where 1.01G cant get 2.4v+ ram is annoying when u get expensive ram)

besides I like the heatpipe on the P5W DH its sexy

Yah, the 2.1v sucks. Other than that, however, I'm happy with the board. After I get all the tweaking done with the voltages allowed to set a baseline, I'm gonna bust out the soldering iron.

My final result was 3440mhz (8*430) on my E6400 at 1.5125v. I don't think the Zalman 9500 I purchased is cooling adequately, and will step it back untill I can find a Tuniq available. Dual Prime 12hr+ stable.

8. Add new CPU Ucode to support Kentsfield B3 stepping CPU
9. Fix FSB not correct displayed in BIOS setup when CPU has been set to non-standard frequency
10. Fix chassis fan 2 speed not correct when fan speed too low

I'll start messing with it tonight. Odd that it's got a fix associated with the NBVcore value "been set too high" when you can't set that voltage.....

Initial results show no performance or stability changes. I'll post any further results that don't fall in line with the initial or any "features" that I find.

Dump the 1.01G???

I am a TOTAL newbie regarding this subject of overclocking and probably won't mess with anything at all. I am building a new system for the family use with the P5b-e, E6600 processor and (2) 1 gig PC2-6400 memory. The memory says CL5-5-5-15 1.9~2.0V.

Is there any reason I should return this to Newegg and wait for a 1.02G?:confused:

Open to all suggestions, easy on the flaming please.;)

Nope, the 1.02 will only really add overclocking capability. I'm quite happy with the overall characteristics of my 1.01G, and would happily reccomend it to anyone who isn't a "hardcore" overclocker. The only real limitations are the lack of MCH voltage control and 2.1v max Vmem, both of which are overclocking only issues. There's just a big hubub here because the board was slightly misrepresented at first as more of a hardcore OC's board, which suckered me into buying it. :D

minimal overclocking on a 1.01G

Thanks for the reply.

With the 1.01G and the memory I mentioned above, what kind of o'clocking would you recommend for a novice looking to squeeze a bit more out of the system. I have no plan on adding exotic or extra cooling, but I always want a bit more out of life and why not this too.

I appreciate your help.

Tough to say without more info Bill, I'd open up a thread in the Intel help & support with a full listing of your components. (cpu, psu, mem, mobo & cooling mainly)

With the right memory and cooling the 1.01G will still do 500~515FSB with a good E6300. I found it to overclock the same as the 1.02G. The 1.02G will allow a little more leeway in ramping up memory that otherwise would have an issue with the 2.1V limit. Although the 1.02G board allows up to 1.7V on the MCH, the 1.01G in auto mode will still supply up to 1.6V.

Good. I found a good buy on the TWIN2X2048-6400PRO. I am going to use it with the board. Thanks:)

Looks good! I can only hit 465x7 on air with my E6300 + G.S 2GBHZ + P5B-E + BTVx. I tried my CPU on a P5B-D and i get the same result :( I think its the batch of CPU :(

Whats your max FSB on air? Also what are your bios settings please?

Here is my BIOS at 3.50 Ghz.

Any tool for OC-ing this board from Windows yet?

Anybody that has gotten version 1.02g yet?

I ordered one about a month ago and it was still the old revision with max 2.1v for the DIMM, it was a lemon.

Now I need to build another PC and I would really like to get the new revision.

I contacted many resellers in the netherlands but they all do not know which version they have in stock :slapass:
