I'm currently running 430*8 on 1.46v 1:1 ratio mem @ 4-4-4-12 on 2.1v w/tuniq tower. That's for daily use (ÜBER stable in BF2) w/ 7900GT @ 580mhz core and 895 mem clocks.

I think I may have to go to 1.55v to bench hard to try to get 3.7ghz stable.

---

I think you should read what I posted again, 1.65v is the most for MCH volts in bios rev 706 available in bios option.
It might be the Ram thats holding me back, but I'm fussy about my tight DDR2 timings...:D

Has anyone else got higher boot and run benchies with 9 x multi than 413mhz FSB running 1:1 and tight DDR2 timings with this Asus P965 mobo ?

I'll give the 414mhz 1:1 *9 a go later on today.

Just flashed to the new 711 bios, will try over this weekend to see how she overclocks now. :)

i had the strangest thing happening, i began with oc of e6300 in the past days using a 0507 bios thinkig that i will reach high fsb, but it didn't want to be stable at anything above 330 fsb, i tried everything, even raising vcore to 1.4 but it didn't do the trick. i thought i had the first bad chip that wouldn't seriously oc, but then as the last resort i changed bios to 0711 and now i'm runing dual sp2004 at 465fsb and it seems stable at 1.375 vcore and temperatures are at 59c in coretemp cooled by big typhoon. so i don't really understand why the 0507 bios was no-go for me but it works for other people, whatever the reason i'm just happy that sorted out and it seems to be a proper chip. so i got some oc and testing to do what it can really do.

What multiplier did you set it to?

Help I can't change my fsb from stock - on 0711- though my memory does run at 533MHz@2.1v@5-5-5-12

I am having a heck of a time trying to get a stable moderate OC that can pass the blended Orthos stress test. I have read many of these threads, so forgive if I missed something. But here goes. The best I can get is about 2 hours (which I guess is not considdered stable correct?) The settings are:

FSB(375- would like 400)**DRAM(750)**PCIE(100)**PCI(33.3)**Spread Spectrum(disabled)**DRAM Voltage(2.1)**CPU Voltage(1.4)**FSB Voltage(1.3)**NB Voltage(1.45)**SB Voltage(Auto)**ICH Chipset(Auto). Under CPU Config, I have everything set to "disabled" besides Vanderpool Tech.(set to enabled). Under the NB Chipset, I have: Memory remap(disabled)**Config. DRAM Timing by speed(disabled) and the following timings (top to bottom) 5*5*5*12*6*42*10*10*10*10 Static Read Control(disabled) Latest BIOS 0711 (I think thats the #)

I have tried so may combinations that my head is spining. I ran small FFT's and that was ok, large FFT's didnt run long before it failed. I removed each stick of ram, and it still failed. I am VERY new to this (first time), so are my settings ok?? what am I missing, or what else can I try? Is my PSU ok, should I try new memory (ugh $$$ but willing if it is the problem). Again, sorry if this has already been discussed, or the wrong place, but ANY help would greatly be appreciated.:confused:

memory and psu should be ok.

Set fsb: 400
Ram 1:1
PCIE:115
PCI: 33.33
Spread Spectrum(disabled)
Vdimm:2.25V
Vcore:1.4 - 1.45V
The rest of Voltages (nb,sb,mch set to auto)
Ram settings are ok.
Vanderpool Tech.(set to DISABLED)

Try again.

fsb set to 401. 400 may give you problems

Ok someone please save me from suicide here. My E6600 will simply not clock over 351Mhz even if I drop the multiplier. I have trawled through this forum and I have done what everyone has suggested with regards to disabling CPU options, changed voltages (dropped and increased) but I can't get anywhere.

I can post at 355 Mhz but it won't stabilise (Prime finds error after a few seconds). If I try to go higher than this it won't post at all. My memory should be easily able to handle more (Geil Ultra PC6400 2x1Gb 4-4-4-12 and I have tried slowing the memory down with slackest latencies). I have the latest 711 BIOS on the P5B Deluxe.

Judging by so many other peoples' success at getting over 400Mhz I'm sure this thing should be able to handle more. There shouldn't be a problem with PSU (Hiper Type-R Modular 580W) and my graphics card is XFX 7900GT.

If anyone has any idea how to break this barrier I would be sincerely indebted to them and in complete awe of their overwhelming overclocking skills.

I have tried these settings, but it fails pretty quick?

Rappy

I have the 0711 bios and Vanderpool Tech.(set to ENABLED) is greyed out and will not let me change setting.

you can only change Vanderpool Tech. after a cold boot

A cold boot you say? Ok, that's what I will do,

Thank you

cold boot worked, thank you sir!

First Post very useful, Answered alot of my questions.

Some info that might help some

my e6600 air cooled on p5b vanilla would only run up to 427 x 9 and even there it wast too stable. Ran fine, spi 1M, regular stuff, but no 32M super pi

Had voltage pinned at 1.7 in bios which = 1.574 in probe

so along comes vapochill and now it won't get over 4.3Ghz at either 8 x 543 or 9 x 483

It is a week 28 chip

My next step is some voltage mods if I can find clear pictures and/or instructions.

Just thought I'd throw that out.

With my chip, the lack of sub-zero cooling and stock p5b got me to 3.8Ghz air cooled and then 4.3Ghz with vapochill

Just some food for thought..

PCIE Frequency - so what's the story and rationale behind the recommended settings for this? I've read of people recommending 96, 100, 101, 120 most frequently. So what determines the best recommended value for PCIE Frequency?

Shocking how many 1st posters are in this thread! :eek:

If you let your video card and ever other device on the pci bus overclock, some device will hang up and cause problems

so you set it to 100 for the pcie (video) and 33 for the rest of the pci .

Once you have established your final fsb and cpu speed, ec. then you can mess with these settings.

pcie could do 120 or even better

In the old days, you could tweak the pci buss. I had plenty of devices that ran at over 50 Mhz, but my board only has auto or 33 Mhz

hope that helps

I thought I had a stable oc at 3.5 GHz with my E6600. It passes Orthos blend for 12+ hours, and I can play World of Warcraft at 1680x1050 with all the sliders maxed out, but I ran 3DMark 05 this morning, and it caused a system reset twice.

My settings are as follows: FSB 390x9, Memory @ 4:5 (DDR2 975) 4-4-3-8-4-22, VCore 1.5v (reads 1.45 in AI Suite), Vdimm 2.3v (reads 2.25 in AI), FSB Term. and NB volts are one step below the highest setting, SB volts at auto, PCIE 100, PCI CLock 33.33. Everything else is as in the op.

What would you guys suggest? I really don't want to increase the Vcore or Vdimm, besides, if either of those was the problem I think it would fail orthos. My best guess is to increase the voltages to the NB, FSB Termination, and SB. What about increasing the PCIE frequency? Thanks for your help.

Mark

How does this board compare to the P5W DH Deluxe for overclocking.

It could simply be your PSU not being capable of giving your gfx card enough juice?

Edit: Sorry, just noticed you had a 700w OCZ PSU, that shouldn't be the case then. However, you could be running 2x X1900XTs in Crossfire, with your water pump sucking a decent amount of juice... it may still be the case? Just an idea that's all...

Thought i might chime in, I've noticed that I can bump up lots of voltage settings to get a fast / stable overclock with Orthos, SuperPi, etc. BUT, if I want to play games, my system HATES any voltages past stock EXCEPT for the North Bridge, which I set to 1.45 (If I don't I get the 3 beep error on boot)

When I try to boost other voltages I'll get a blue screen (usually the IRQL_NOT_LESS_THAN... message) when I play some games (Company of Heroes in particular)

Hello everybody. 1st time poster here.

I'd like to thank all the people that have put this sticky together. Its been a life saver.

Anyways... I have one question:

On the PCI-E frequency, I'm at 120 now. How much higher can I go and still be safe?

The reason I'm asking is with my 7900GS @ 630/869 and default CPU settings, my 3dMark05 score is 10,316.
When I follow the guides in this sticky about overclocking the cpu and set the PCI-E freq. to 100 and have the same exact gpu clocks, ny 3dMark score is significantly lower (9,000 or so).

when I bump up the PCI-E freq. to 120, my score goes back up to 10,715.

I'm wondering if I've done something wrong or what?:confused:

here's a screenshot:
http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g8...th3dmark05.jpg

This is using all stock cooling too.

Any advice or help is appreciated.

vfsb has to be lower than 1.45v to get max oc on cpu for me, have tryed only 1.4v (i used it at 1.45v before) maybe 1.3v is better we'll see

Yeah it seems to be a quirk with these boards that vertain settings make it go into 1x mode on the PCI-E, i went through the same thing and im not sure what fixed it. Use CPU-Z to see what your pci-e is set at... i bet when you are getting that 9k score you are at 1x.

I raised the NB and FSB Termination voltages to max. That seemed to help a bit, I can now pass 3DMark03, but not 3DMark05. I still can run Orthos (large FFT's and Blend) for 12+ hours. I'm running small FFT's now. It always reboots on the CPU test part of 3D Mark05. Maybe some Vdroop during very demanding applications? Perhaps I'll need to increase my VCore a bit...currently at 1.5v in BIOS, reads 1.44 under load in AI Suite. Also, I still have Vanderpool enabled because I just haven't done a cold boot in a while.

And, BTW, 711 BIOS has solved my double restart problem.

I don't think that's stable. in his sig it says 460FSB @ 1.4v.

I'm hitting a wall at 405FSB. Having said that I'm testing for 24/7. I have 1.4875 to CPU and 2.1v to mem on a 1:1 divider

But what DDR2 sticks is that with ? I think that would depend on other factors in the NB timings...

1 Minute in Orthos is NOT stable. Also try using Intel TAT and see how fast you start dropping your overclock.

I was under the impression to test stability you needed to run 2 instances of orthos and super pi? or did the rules change? whenever I am doing a stability test that's what I have been doing....however if it is "game" stable and you are not crunching numbers for NASA or scanning the web for extraterrestrial life then so be it....:toast: :woot:

Is it possible to pencil vdroop. I think so if you see the mod.

Anyone know what would be best to do quick 3d benchies ?

I am having the same issue with 3d performance at high clocks, but I need a baseline to experiment with. Not really interested in paying for 3dMark so I don't have to sit through a 20 minute bench session....

Hows your orthos? dont blame the board on a weak CPU. Then again maybe its the power delivery.

I feel more and more every day that the droop mod is a must.

I havent done it yet, but the cpu volts just seem so unstable to me. coolaler says it doesnt matter, but maybe it will help me get my 6400 over 4ghz. (cant get over 3.96.)

My Orthos is fine, see my sig, hardly a weak cpu is it ? , the highest air/water orthos result ive seen. Regarding the power Ive tried 2 Enermax liberty 620s and a Tagan 430 and it always been the same.

No problem i wasn't calling you out. BTW nice overclock, try WC and see what it can do.

520!

Folks, there is nothing to proof from Orthos since you can't validate it. E.g.: Fooling your self by cuting & paste someone Orthos long hour screeen shot, and mod it a bit on the freq and make it a wall paper ! :D

No cutting and pasting here.;) Doing some FSB testing.

F#*^# :mad: :mad:

I tried to go back to 3.5 and the freakin board is Fudged again!!! WTF?!!

I cleared the CMOS, let it sit there for 10 min, and nothing...it just does one of two things:

1. Boots up with fans running but no POST
or
2. boots with one long beep followed by two short beeps, repeatedly.

nothing I do works!!

PLEASE HELP!!!

One long beep followed by two short ones usually means a video adapter error. Try reseating your graphics card.

nope...no dice :( :mad:

I put the old PCIe card back on as well, took off and re-put the RAM back in its place, and nothing.

where the hell is the BIOS CPR asus talks about so much....:slapass:

Stick the motherboard CD in your ROM drive. Make sure it's the only drive connected to the board. Remove any other SATA, IDE or floppy connectors. This is to ensure the board will see the ROM drive first. Power up. A screen should appear with instructions on how to recover the bios. It will use whichever bios is on the motherboard CD.

By the way, it does work. I used it before.

I just tried that.....nothing!:(

removed everything other than CD-ROM, put the asus cd in, rebooted, cold booted, reset, nothing...same freaking thing!!

it does nothing, or it does the long beep/2 short beeps thing again...

I believe I may have fried the FETs again, like before....what is it with these FETs!!! geezys christ!:slapass:

Sorry it didn't work. I would remove the battery and leave the CMOS jumper in the reset position overnight. Maybe the board will come back to life tomorrow. Also, it's always better to diagnose a problem after a good night's sleep. Hope you get it working again.

yeah....i hope.

if not, time to RMA this focker...:bsod: :soap:

I don't know if it's a blown mosfet. Usually when a mosfet gets fried, you wouldn't be able to power up period. The beep code indicates a video-related problem.

Anyway, good luck.

I had that crap happen to me with latest bios. I saved setings and it would not post anymore even when i clear Cmos. The issue turned out to be my Gskil Ram. I run these @ 2.4 and before i never had an isssue posting but latly i have to put cheap low voltage ram, go into bios change Oc+1 mhz and save memory voltage to 2.4. Then i just put my old good 530Mhz capable Gskil back and it boots no problem. I was about to rma the board since it was booting fine before and ram didnt affect it as much. But now things have changed. You migh want to swap CPu's to a cheap 805d so bios would detect a new cpu and release settingsif ram changing fails

I've had the same issue, just try and boot with one stick.

I dont have any cheap ram other than DDR400 PC3200 (its not DDR2 so I dont even know if it will work)... I would hate to goto the store just to buy some :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana: and it doesn't work...:confused:

ps-no new CPU either. It will probably be faster to just RMA the board and have them OVernight me a new one..:(

I've taken a couple of cpu's out to lap and when I put them back, somehow it knows and acts like I put a new cpu in and posts with hit f1 and defaults. It remembers previous settings, so all I have to do is hit f10 and go on. Maybe just try taking cpu out, waiting a minute and putting it back in.

Guys,
what is vFSB termination? How much influence has it on ur overclock?
I am now @~~475~FSB, do i need to raise it to 1.45 (maximum).

And, in what sub timings( 10-10-10-10) do u use?

Is it smart to let vSB and vICH8R at lowest Voltage?

3.57Ghz stable (510x7). This is with 1.525V in BIOS, 1.48V in windows which droops to 1.46V under load. I haven't measured these directly off the board yet so is only just software readings.

This is nearly 9hrs orthos stable. plus i played an hour or two of farcry and css yesterday with no problems. Temps are reaching my personal limits at around 55 load, so i will test 515x7 tonight (3.6ghz) as my top 24/7 overclock, then will pump some voltage into the ram to reduce the timings from 4-4-4-8 hopefully down to at least 4-4-3-8, or at a push 3-4-4-8 :D

Good guide, might end up picking up an Asus P5-B Deluxe in the future :D

A qucik question that is a little offtopic. How much Vdimm do I dare for my Corsair TwinX2 8500C5 sticks??? I don't have any kind of fan pointed at the memory (trying to find the sweetspot for my memory).

What are change Log of P5B deluxe 0801 bios ?

Hey guys is it me or with the latest 0711 bios there are issues with the PCI-x reverting to 1x speed (7800GT here) and the "PCI" lock not working. I had to up the PCI-e speed to 110Mhz for it to stick to 16x and then I realized that the PCI frequency had scaled upto 36.8Mhz. Not good :(

erm is it even out yet? :stick:

If he's asking about a change log, it means he or someone he knows has that bios.;)

If someone can try 0801 and get a change list that would be ace. I don't have my mobo working and it's being RMA'd tomorrow.

Also, what is the difference between 0509 and 0711 (the upgrading that killeed my mobo). - Die it die for no reason? lol

See the changelogs.

Can any1 tell me what vFSB termination is? I cant find it anywhere.
How much influence has it on ur OC? Which voltage is recommended if u overclock (~~~470FSB~~~).

I have a problem, i cant boot windows up to 7*370mhz, over 370fsb wont boot up. I tryed 7*401 but still same problem, i did exactly as told but still nothing.

My PC:
ntel Core 2 Duo E6300, Asus P5B Deluxe, Corsair DDR2 XMS2-6400 800MHz 2*1024MB, Club 3D ATi Radeon X800XL 256MB, Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB, FSP Group EPSILON 700W

To all others I mean, what stand outs are there? - It's all trivial things in the c/l. Have people experienced more stability / any chance of slightly higher OC's too?

Not 100% what vFSB termination is, But I'm fairly sure it relates to V.much which should be set to max 1.45v.

Initially set your V.core to auto and find the OC your happy with. Then go into your bios and read what the v.core is set to in the monitor. Change it from auto to this new value. Afterwards start to lower it till you have instability. This will help fine tune the v.core to your OC

Try setting your dram frequency to it's lowest setting (533), leave v.core on auto for now as I mentioned above.

The search function is your friend.;)

A less complicated explanation can be found here:

http://www.lostcircuits.com/motherbo...p5ad2e/8.shtml

When you raise the FSB frequency, sometimes you need to increase the termination voltage to increase stability. Some users avoid the maximum setting (1.45) because they found they can get higher FSB with 1.4v.

I have successfully overclocked my e6600 processor with this motherboard (p5b Deluxe wifi/ap) to 3.2 ghz.

I got this by buying a scythe infinity fan with some artic silver thermal paste. I then did some research (since this is my first overclock) and found these settings for the bios.


Advanced -> JumperFree Conf.:
AI Tuning - Manual
CPU Freq. - 356 (which will give you 3.2 ghz)
DRAM Freq. - AUTO
PCI-E Freq. - 100
PCI Clock - 33.33 MHz
Spread Spectrum - Disabled
Memory Voltage - 2.10V
CPU Vcore - 1.36 (I got lots of conflicting opinions on this option. Some people had it as high as 1.45
(all other settings on this page - Auto)
There are settings for Northbridge voltage and southbridge voltage that I leave to auto.

Advanced -> CPU Conf.:
Modify Ratio - DISABLED
C1E - DISABLED
Max CPUID - Disabled
Vanderpool - Enabled
CPU TM - DISABLED
Execute Disable - DISABLED
PECI - Disabled

I have 2 gigs of pc6400 corsair 5-5-5-12 memory running at auto (5-6-6-18).

I am running steady at these settings. Can anyone tell me what the exact settings are needed for 3.4 and 3.6 Ghz. I had it somewhat steady at 3.5 Ghz by just increasing the cpu freq
and the vcore voltage but always ran into problems rebooting.


I have the e6600, p5b deluxe(with updated bios 711), corsair pc6400, however with set to auto it reads currently at 5-6-6-18. scythe infinity

Don't run DRAM Frequency on Auto. Set it to 1:1. This would be the first option on the drop-down menu. If FSB Frequency is 356, it should say DDR2-712.

cpu freq ?
dram freq ?
vcore ?

The theory part is complicated, put i little bit see the point in it.

In short, set it to 1.4V? Intel says, 1.3V for maximum.
I havent tested the differences yet.

ty anyway

i tested when lostcircuits said about cpu temp with different FSB termination voltage and there is no difference in cpu temps on my system

Guys,
I am having problems with the multiplier.

When i run, Orthos or Prime95, superpi (any other stress programme), the multiplier lowers to 6x (E6300 = 7x).

Therefore, i get a score of 19sec @1M.

I have turned EIST of. Even if i set the ratio maunally to 7x it still lowers to 6x .

I am sure that there are more ppl who havent discovered this.

I am having also this problem:
Try this out byurselve,
open cpuz and crystal cpuid.
Select cpu1/2, see multipliers at both, they must be the same, refresh (f5)the screen (of crystal), then I (you) see that the multiplier drops.
Now select core 2/2. REfresh (f5), now i see that the multiplier keeps 7x.

Weird:slobber: ,
thus, core1 is @idle mode 6x and core 2 7x?

Now do this again with orthos (or any other stress), then u shall see that multiplier drops (to 6x) .

edit:
I suppose we all turned EISt off,
i have too, but i still see in CPUID that it is active ( check with everest or crystal).

http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=130466

this is my result @ stock (Mainboard) (CPU is watercooled)
Next week I will test @ watercooling (Mainboard)

Voltages: FSB: 1,3V NB: 1,55V SB: 1,5V Vdimm: 2,2V Vcore 1,5V

it's been 4 days of tests :/
and i never reached windows once in pcie 16X :cool:
i emailed asus france in despair:stick:

I have found that by setting NB to anything over 1.45V makes pcie go to 1x..:toast:

I had the same problem and reflashing took care of it.

whew!:woot:

got my replacement Mobo, and all is well (so far...knock on wood)....step by step trying to get back at my 3.31 OC....first step: 3.255

When running Orthos or SP2004, you should set the Priority to 9. As to why 9, read this thread.

Also, you need to run Orthos for more than six minutes.;) At least do a couple of hours. 6-8 is even better.

Intel says 1.55v is the maximum for FSB Termination Voltage which is also known as VTT.

VTT is usually about half the memory voltage.

ftp://download.intel.com/design/proc...s/31327802.pdf

Also keep in mind that voltage numbers quoted by Intel do not refer to your bios settings. For example, Intel says VCore should be no more than 1.55v. But you can set 1.55v in bios and actual board voltage, measured with a DMM, may be only 1.5 due to voltage droop.

Intel's voltage figures are just guidelines. Don't you think it rather odd that Intel says no more than 1.55 for core voltage, and yet some of the boards they sell like the Bad Axe have VCore higher than that in the bios.

IT IS A SNAPSHOT MAN!!!!! I just posted the snapshot to show that it is up and running last nite in my excitement....it ran all nite long, no problems!:woot:
I never call success unless it can run 2 hours blend+2 hours SmallFFT, so dont worry.

the only issue is that my temps are now 1-2C higher....:confused:
