pvhk,
Is your board installed inside the case or are these open testbed tests. I'm just curious because of the cooler your using. I have the same one, but I haven't bothered to try it yet. It's looking good though:)
yes ! case closed!
http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/7...piervy5.th.jpg
But this cooler is clearly not sufficient to handle 4Ghz with stability (overheat)!
I will try the ultra120 on the giga g33 (the nsk3400 is compatible with this heatsink) with this cpu
on this screen : the utra90 with "bolt thru kit" fixation

I could not resist any longer. I ordered from newegg 5 min ago. I love my matx case, Silverstone TJ08 lots of wet goodess in a little space, but limited OC. I'm hoping this is the answer. :worship: -P5K-VM
very overclock friendly board with 1:1 memory divider. The PWMIC even though not as cool looking as the gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R, but it work extremely well on a 3GHz CPU.
im ordering one asap :D (with an e6850 of course)
Got one in the cart :)
Got one last night. Using a 4300 with bsel mod. Boots in at 266 and shows 2.4 but when I try and oc in bios it always just stays at 266 when it boots.
Also I did a fresh install of XP pro and it will not just post. I have to hit reset and then it will post and boot. Wonder if it has anything to do with the bsel mod?
Took the bsel mod off and now works fine. It also caused the posting problem.
http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/9048/1223tt2.th.jpg
how did bsel turn into bezel??
lol I thought he was mentioning BSEL, but I was not sure. Seems I was right, after all...
Ok, apart from reiterating it is spelled "BSEL" (short for "bootstrap select", I guess- anyone can confirm this?), not bezel (which usually refers to the cover on drives or drive bays), I must tell you, dogsx2, that Gigabyte motherboards don't like BSEL mods. They usually don't even POST, much less boot. It was the very same thing with the GA-945GM-S2H (if I remember the model number correctly): BSEL mods would result in no POST.
Oh, and btw, very nice OC you have there. That 6x multi was the EIST kicking in, or you could't get it stable with higher multis? Also, are those stock voltages?
Cheers.

Sorry, still had the bad day at work on my mind.:brick:
The Vcore is 1.325 set in bios with 9x. Case is a closed Microfly. I really like this board. It maybe the first Asus I ever really liked out of the few I have had. Just waiting for the Q6600 GO to arrive in numbers.
If the vDIMM to even 2.2v instead of 2.1v I would like it a lot more.

Nice, waiting for your quad result
-tam2-
Is there a clockgen program that works with this board?
I should never buy an Asus board as it seems I always have some dumb problem with them. On this board when I hit the power button to turn it off, windows shuts down and the LCD goes to sleep but the PSU and all fans keep running. If I hit reset it then boots back up. I end up using the switch on the PSU to turn the computer off. Not sure what's wrong. Never had this happen before. :(
Looks like it goes into stand-by. Check the BIOS settings in the Power section. But why are you hitting the power button instead of shutting it down from within Windows?
Quicker to hit power button. Same results either way power button or shutting down in windows.Quote:

In the official german gigabyte forum i opened months ago (!) a thread with the dividor problem and since some weeks, one moderator: JZ tries to help the G33M-DS2R community ... he stands in direct contact to gigabyte germany and gigabyte taiwan.
Im not sure but i think the F4a is thx to him because it was published 2-3 weeks after he spoke to gb taiwan.
Today he told us, that it looks like GB taiwan doesnt want to give us the dividors because of the name of the board: DS2R (he and other GB contributors told us before that this is the "GB philosophy").
GB taiwan says, the 2 stands for: smart and save BUT NOT speed - so no overclocking ... only motherboards with a 3 or higher ...
But he wants to help us!
We have to send him our serialnumber of the motherbard and our name (first & last).
If he has enough user, he will send a accumulative complaint to GB taiwan, it seems this is last chance to change GB taiwans mind.
Here ist that thread in the german GB-support forum: http://62.109.81.232/cgi-bin/sbb/sbb...ow=278&start=0
So, if you would send me your serialnumber with your name and country, we all got better chance to get our dividors (especially for 800mhz cpus!).
I will give them all to JZ!
Just picked up this board with an E2140.
Hitting an FSB wall @ 333 max. One higher and no post.
This chip is doing quite well, I lowered the voltage to 1.25V in BIOS. Currently testing with a crappy WinXP live CD that doesn't know what to do with two cores, but one core is Orthos'ing just fine. CoreTemp buggers out and gives me a BSOD and Intel TAT won't install. :shrug:
EDIT:
http://individual.utoronto.ca/bzhou/...e2140-2667.jpg
Onboard video limits this board quite a bit. I switched to onboard from a TNT2 m64 and I had to point a fan at the NB sink otherwise the display would corrupt.
EDIT 2:
http://individual.utoronto.ca/bzhou/...667-1.2750.JPG
Needed to bump voltage a bit for it to be (somewhat?) Orthos stable. 1.2750 set in BIOS. CPU-Z reports 1.200V drooping to 1.168V at load.
EDIT 3:
I dropped in my E6700 and can run 9x400 no sweat.. so I guess my NBCC is too high. If I enable spread spectrum CPU and PCI-E, I can post but get a scrambled display (using onboard video). Looks like I'll head to RadioShack for a CircuitWriter. I want to see 3 ghz on this!!
I made (and make) a online petition for more dividors!
So PLEASE EVERYONE who has the G33M-DS2R (whether needs more dividors or not) sign up!
Full name (first and last) and the serialnumber of the motherboard (found on motherboard itself and the box too) are only needed!

- 800MHz FSB - the 1:1 ratio would give DDR2-400
- 1066MHz FSB - the 1:1 ratio would give DDR2-533
- 1333MHz-FSB - the 1:1 ratio would give DDR2-667
Instead, the owners of this "NOT OC oriented" and "semi-budget" board MUST use DDR2-533 for 800MHz FSB, DDR2-667 for 1066MHz FSB and DDR2-800 for 1333MHz FSB... Last time I checked, DDR2-533 was the cheapest RAM one could buy for a "budget" RAM stick, DDR2-667 being "semi-budget", DDR2-800 being upper-end, and anything above that is OC memory.
So, for a "semi-budget" system with a "semi-budget" 1333MHz FSB CPU (they do start below the €200 mark...), you MUST use upper-end DDR2-800 RAM... Or if, instead, I want to upgrade my rig, migrating my OEM DDR2-667 sticks, I'll either have to stick to first-gen C2Ds Does ANYONE besides me think this is, well, I don't know, maybe COMPLETELY ABSURD?
So, the lack of this feature is clearly not because of the "OC oriented issues". If that were the case, Gigabyte would NEVER have enabled them in ANY BIOS. Here in Portugal we call that behavior "stubborness" (as the very least). This board seems terrific in every department except the BIOS. Why Gigabyte is limiting its own market share with this approach is beyond me...

I've tried Q6600 on G33M-DS2R build these days.
Fits great. G33M-DS2R can handle more than 200Watts going into the overclocked Q6600, which runs on 400 * 9.
but such heat can be only handled by water cool, which I have no time to build yet.
a light overclock to 3.0 Ghz or 3.2 Ghz is more recommended. the two frequencies both primed excellently on my rig.
Bios is F3
Any Screenshot for that run?Quote:

I can tell you this board can handle that frequency easily, even higher.
The real question is, can you handle the super heated 200Watts Q6600 ?
why it generates so much heat is very understandable.
an overclocked E6600 can easily generate 130Watts.
Q6600 has two E6600's.
if you have some decent cooling maybe you can try to prime it for a few hours.
pvhk, what's your MB temp in Asus Vintage 3 case?

Got 4 days off and wanted to do some testing with the board. Dropped in a 6300 that will do 500 with ease and off we go. Microfly with sides and top off in 80F room. Cooler is not much better then stock. OC set to manual with everything auto except 2.1v for memory.

Remember the droop is terrible and with 4GB and only 2.1v I couldn't tighten up the timings. Needs a pencil mod bad.
This is a really good mATX board.
Got 6850 coming tomorrow and will try it.

with my bios 304 the max vcore real is 1.54v (1.60v bios)!
In your case, with bios 401, you seem to have less vdroop: vcore@1.56v! What is the vcore you setted in bios?
Wish I had never flashed the 401 bios myself. You can't flash back to the 304 in windows and my build doesn't have a floppy.
I am at the top 1.60v, there are 2 of them. My board came with the 401.Quote:

Mine came with 401 and you can see what my results are. Maybe the old bios is better, only know if you try it. I'm happy with what I got and sometimes that's better then flashing to something else. If I had problems I would not hesitate but I don't.Quote:

yup this follow suit with Asus's previous mATX boards just being a huge pile of sh|te
cripes even the Abit F-i90HD didnt do that.
looks to me like you guys arent getting any better fsb than the F-i90
the gigabyte G33 board was smoking from all the stuff i read about it.
I'll stick with my Gigashat thanks :D
I did the vdroop mod using a pencil. Idle & load voltages are within +/- .01v of each other. But if I set say 1.4v in bios, I get 1.34v in windows. A .06v difference from bios to windows is not favorable especially if your cpu needs more than 1.45v to achieve desired overclock. The board has been pretty solid for me. Of course my abit F-i90HD is still going strong too so I may just be lucky :)
yes, the vdrop is important with the asus board!
selecting the vcore max 1.60v, gives 1.55v real (idle)
Now with the vdroop mod: in my case the vcore drops @1.50v on load insteed of 1.47v before. I need to pencil further to hit your excellent value!
And the fi90hd has still the better vcore value (up to 1.62v real) and the lower vdroop (0.01v) that enable my x6800 to hit max screen 3.9ghz on air (insteed 3.6ghz on the p5kvm)

do somebody use windows with sata hd configured in ahci mode?
AFAIK, this board doesn't support AHCI mode. At least on SATA ports on the Southbridge, since the P5K-VM only uses ICH9 (which doesn't have AHCI or RAID modes).Quote:

Cheers.
Miguel
but in bios there is the setting to enable ahci, how can be present while not supported?
maybe bios is not right?
As I said, while the ICH9 southbridge doesn't support AHCI (only the ICH9R, ICH9DO and ICH9DH are AHCI and RAID-enabled), the same does not apply to the secondary PATA/SATA controller (from Promise, if memory serves me right). This one supports IDE, AHCI and RAID modes on the SATA ports, so if the P5K-VM has five or six SATA ports, the last two of them are from that controller, and you can use the advanced modes on them.Quote:

Then I'm lost. That AHCI mode should not be available on the BIOS unless the ICH9R or extra SATA ports were available on the board, from the Promise controller used on that board (which, btw, has one PATA and two SATA ports, though they might not be connected, which seems to be the case).Quote:

That is, if it weren't for the BIOS battery blocking the open 4x PCI-E slot :rolleyes:; and, of course, the lack of a mouse port... :ROTF:
Let's just see how the P5E-VM HDMI behaves when it's lauched.
Can you check the box, the manual and, if you're feeling lucky, the southbridge itself? (That implies removing the southbridge heatsink, cleaning everything up and reading the southbridge itself; don't forget to re-paste it... hehehe)
Cheers.
Miguel
maybe my english is not good enough to understand you.
p5k-vm mounts ich9, and a secondary ide controller without extra sata ports.
in bios appears two possibilities for sata configuration: IDE or AHCI.
why asus put ahci setting if not supported by sb and if extra controller has not sata ports?
That is exactly my point. That should NOT happen, unless something on the board (either the southbridge or the extra controller) had support for AHCI.Quote:
Originally Posted by damasko

Without more specific information (namely the actual information on the southbridge that particular mobo has - not the model, since slipups happen, and an ICH9R may have ended up in there), I'm guessing Asus messed up somehow.
As the box changed, try digging more information up (like using software to probe which SB is on the board, or info from the store you bought the board from - or Asus itself).
Cheers.
Miguel
i'll send an email to asus to clarify the question.
ps: my box is the old one :) but i'll read asap the sb installed on board.
Ok, this issue has been bugging me since you first brought it up. I have been scavaging the Web for G33-based motherboards manuals to see how that could happen...Quote:

To my astonishment, MSI is actually good for something, and the manual for the G33M board (page 27 of the PDF) is pretty clear about this subject: the ICH9 base southbridge does in fact support AHCI and IDE modes. There are, however, a few quircks.
First one: AHCI mode is only available to Windows Vista. That's not really a problem, AHCI was never an option for XP, even since the ICH5R. I think it's an OS limitation.
Second one: ACHI mode is only partially available on ICH9 base. Meaning hot-plug (at least, and I'd assume hot swap too) is not possible using this chipset. So, in short, you only get NCQ and the (rather amazing, to be true, cached bursts go through the roof in Intel southbridges with ACHI/RAID enabled...) write caching option on the ICHx southbridges.
I hope this makes more sence to you, and that it actually helps.
Now, anyone can direct me to a good site explaining the ups and downs on NCQ? The reason for wanting a motherboard with an ICHxR southbridge was because of the advanced disk features, and since I don't need hot-plug or hot-swap, I'd be perfectly fine with only partial AHCI support (I'm planning to move to Vista, anyway...). Anyone knows if the ICH8 base southbridge also has this option?
Cheers.
Miguel
P.S.: Oh, just one thing I remembered: I found this a few hours ago. Anyone knows how the BIOS fares? It seems a very decent board...
[EDIT]So, since I like being thorough, I stop by the Intel website and looked for the ICH8 and ICH9 datasheets. The ICH8 datasheet is blurry on the information about AHCI support, but it seems to imply the base southbridge can also be configured to work in AHCI mode; the ICH9 datasheet, on the other hand, is quite clear on this subject:
So, there you have, AHCI IS available on ICH9 base, it just needs to be enabled by the motherboard manufacturer. Clearly Asus and MSI have enabled this one. Any news on the other manufacturers that use the ICH9 instead?[/EDIT]Quote:

looking for NCQ info
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_Command_Queuing
i found this:
and last drivers for chipset by intel (downloaded from asus website) include ahci for all intel chips, also for ich9.Quote:
For NCQ to be enabled, it must be supported and turned on in the SATA host bus adapter and in the hard drive itself. The appropriate driver must be loaded into the operating system to enable NCQ on the host bus adapter. Many newer chipsets support the Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), which should allow a generic driver supplied by the operating system to control them and enable NCQ. In fact, newer mainstream Linux kernels support AHCI natively.[5] Unfortunately, Windows XP requires the installation of a vendor-specific driver even if AHCI is present on the host bus adapter because Windows XP was released before Serial ATA was invented. Windows Vista corrects this situation by including a generic AHCI driver.
I've only to try switching from ide to ahci in bios settings :) asap
First of all, thank you for the compliment. I'll have problems fitting through doors in the next couple of hours or so, but that's OK... :ROTF:Quote:

Drivers don't work, sometimes drives are not recognized, hot-plug and hot-swap don't work, etc., etc....
AFAIK, it is very difficult for AHCI to work correctly on XP, even with specific drivers. However, you can try. Do keep in mind, though, that you'll either need to do a clean Windows F6-install or jump through a lot of loops to get XP (installed on a SATA drive running on an IDE-mode controller) to run on a AHCI controller. The opposite is easy, since Windows recognizes the drives and controllers as standard IDE disks and installs the correct drivers, but IDE-to-AHCI mode is a MAJOR pain without a clean install.

now I'm trying to use wake on lan, but in bios there is no item named clear as "wake on lan".
I see only:
wake on external modem
wake by pci event
wake by pcix event
which one is correct?
or this mobo doesn't support wake on lan? :(
the next step will be to get working wol in my usr 9105 router...
for sending packet through internet I found:
http://2noci.3dana.com/wol/wake.php
but I don't know if it works.
Ok, I happen to know something about WOL too, so hopefully I can help you there.Quote:

As for the software part, that's more difficult, but the good thing is it's only a lenghty process, not an impossible one :p::
So, in the BIOS you only need to set the "wake by (bus) event" on, (bus) being the bus where your NIC sits. For PCI NICs, you set the PCI bus; for PCI-E NICs, the PCI-E bus. You can check that from your board manual (though I think on the P5K-VM the NIC is PCI-E based), or simply enable events on both buses and be done with it.
Then, the hard part. BIOS support isn't enough for WOL to work. You also need driver support and configuration. You'll have to dig through the Windows LAN configuration and driver pages to disable the "Allow the computer to deactivate this device to save energy" option AND enable the WOL capabilities of the NIC.
When enabling the WOL capabilities of the NIC, you have to be very carefull what option you choose: Magic Packet only is usually the best option to choose, else you'll effectivelly won't be able to shut down, hibernate or suspend your PC, because ANY packet recieved on the NIC will cause the PC to turn on. And believe me (learned that the worse way possible...), you don't want to have your PC turning on in the middle of the night just because any device on the network sent a multicast packet (which are rather common, by the way...)
With that out of the way, you just need to know your NIC's MAC address (run "ipconfig /all" on a command prompt), and configure the router to route the port you use for WOL (usually 6, though that can vary, or be changed with no problem, since WOL packets are multicast bursts anyway) for the non-routable IP adress your NIC uses (that's a router limitation, usually, since they don't allow Net-to-LAN multicasts, which means in fact the multicast will be recieved as a unicast on the PC you want to wake up alone - or it should, if my lessons on TCP/IP are correct... :p:)
Hope this helps. If you need anything, PM me.
Cheers.

P.S.: I neve actually used WOL over the Internet, only over the LAN (and it ROCKS!). But I have some degree of expertise with (home) routers (including W2K3 RRAS) and port forwarding, so I think I'm not that far off on that part.
thanks Miguel! ;)
bios settings all enabled.
in driver I disabled "Allow the computer to deactivate this device to save energy" option and enabled the WOL capabilities of the NIC.
about my router, I NATted udp ports from 6 to 9.
unfortunately it doesn't have a dedicated menu for wol, but in arp table ip is correctly associated to nic mac address.
asap I'll retry to wake my pc and tell you if works ;)
Has anybody tried the new BIOS 602?
no, because it only brings support to new cpus and no other improvements
Hi ...
I have this new little creature:
Asus P5K-VM
Intel e4500
2x1Gb Team Group Extreme Pc6400 Micron DGMH
8800GT512Mb
Iìd like to overclock the cpu but I don't Know which PLL could be right for this mobo using ClockGen or SetFSB.
Tnx
bump!
Is this still a good uATX motherboard choice for a dual-core or is there something better?
You won't go wrong if you choose this one.
However, you might also want to check the competitors: the Asus P5E-VM HDMI and the Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R. The P5E-VM is the current "top-dog", AFAIK.
Cheers.

Hi Miguel, thanks for the reply, I did see a little about the P5E-VM HDMI but I didn't hear about the Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R?Quote:

HDMI onboard is a really nice thing, pity ASUS didn't do anything like that with the G33 chipset. . . . I wonder does any G33 based uATX chipset offer DVI or HDMI out?
The P5K-VM is selling for about £60 here in the UK which is a nice price for an all-singing-all-dancing uATX mobo, the P5E-VM HDMI sells at about £90-£100!!
I am thinking maybe stick with the G33 and add in a low powered *passive* graphics card to take care of the outputs and help with full HD viewing?
You're welcome, I'm glad to help.Quote:

Yes, the P5E-VM HDMI does in fact consume a little more power than G33-based motherboards, but that's because of the X3500 IGP, which is more power-hungry (but more performant, too). Do keep in mind, though, that the the P5E-VM does not use the X38 chipset (I wish), but rather the G35, a P35 derivative, so don't be scared by that big NB cooler.Quote:

If your budget is not that high, the GA-G33M-DS2R should be available for about the same price of the P5K-VM. Here in Portugal they are even cheaper (though less than €5).Quote:

I'll save you some reading: if drivers haven't evolved since then, every one of the cards will be able to assist on HD decoding, although the 8400GS and 2400Pro might have issues; ATI cards seem to be able to offload more of the decoding than NVIDIA ones; and at time of writing, only the HD2600XT had full support for HQV video processing on XP and Vista, the 8600GTS only partially working in Vista, and the slower cards not post-processing AT ALL (insuficient GPU power, I guess).

Though the Asus P5E-VM HDMI is said to clock 45nm Quads much better, anyone owning this board may wish to know 425FSB has proven stable with q9450. I was unable to get 450FSB stable so I dropped to 425FSB. Onboard video was enabled during the 425FSB run. I tried using a external videocard for 450FSB no luck. 450 will post, get into windows and run 3DMark06 but not prime or OCCT. I think the northbridge or vtt are @1.2v according to everest and occt sensors. Since neither is adjustable on this board I suspect we won't be seeing any stable high FSB with this board. Mine fails to post after 455FSB.

For those who are wondering about Win 7 -new clean Win 7RC install on a P5K-VM rig.

Everything went smoothly but the subsequent online update failed to auto-install the Asus ATK0110 device driver leaving it as an unknown device - solved by manually installing the driver from the bundled mobo DVD.
HTH. :)
