Thanks for showing a way to downgrade the bios mate .. it helps me so much
My comp has stopped posting, not even a beep. Dead board?
ram or cpu could be toast as well.
No problem with RAID 0 on the Seagate 1000's. All went well the first install. Overclock is stable and there is no Vdroop. As a matter of a fact, there is a Vraise of 1.376v --> 1.384v on Prime95 v2.5.
Remove your DRAM. Reset your CMOS jumper. Install a single strip of DDR667 Vanilla DRAM.Quote:

Which is the normal temp for the E8400? At me it shows in bios 27 degrees, in Everest also 27 degrees in idle state, all this with a Arctic Cooling cooler, but core temp shows 47 degrees. Is there a problem with the sensors or this bios release is faulty (0504). Also the rpm in the cooler stays at 400 rpm, raising only to max 1000 rpm in full load. The CPU is OC at 3600 mhz, auto vcore.
Change your psu.Quote:

I have tried everything else but i think this is the simplest way. the file is to big for me to attach, just google for it.
anyone having problems locking pcie 16x after updating to 0504?
I was able to lock it at 103mhz with 400fsb after updating. But after playing around with fsb in bios I can no longer lock it at 103mhz pcie with fsb set to 400mhz... any suggestions?
I'm stuck @ pci-e 1x past 399fsb :(Quote:

IIRC this was discussed in the main thread for this board, or the P5K Deluxe thread, and the trick was to manually set the PCI frequency higher, from 110 to 120MHz. Upping one of the voltage settings helps too, but I can't recall which one, either Northbridge or PCI - the latter seems likely. Searching those threads should turn up the answer.
Thanks, I've tried from 101 to 120mhz and nothing worked. But I havn't tried to up the NB (no idea what PCI voltage is called in the 504 bios) later tonight.Quote:

The salesman in the computer shop says me that they haven`t got any p5k deluxe anymore and they only sell p5k premium now. It's p5k premium wifi/ap a good P35 mobo for my raid (see signature), if not some piece of advice for an ICH9R board in order to reactivate my RAID, GB DS4 rev2.1 perhaps?
heeeey the exact same thing happened to me. I bought a IP35 pro to just hold me over until something new and better comes along.
i have the p5kp too and update to the 504 bios
one raptor at ahci, no mayor problems
q6600 runs at 3.6ghz, 400x9
4x1gb ballistix running at cas3 3-3-3-8 at 800mhz
which where my problem comes in. i tried to set it to cas5 and 1200mhz in bios but cpu-s still shows it at 533, not 600.
ram was defenitlly easier to play with, with the 404 bios
So when you force PCI-E to 100mhz in the BIOS it just ignores it??Quote:

How can you tell what speed your pci-e is actually running at? Would a util like cpuz tell the truth?

And yes, CPU-Z will show it easily under the motherboard tab
If you get a P5K premium then you run the risk of it not working with your Western Digital drives.... this is not 100% certain, some boards work and some do not but it seems to be sheer luck if yours is ok.Quote:

The P5K Premium has serious incompatibility issues with Western Digital and Samsung SATA II drives.
Seagate and Maxtor are fine; there are no known issues with SATA 1 drives (all raptors + others) and this board.

I've been using Sata II WD drives from day 1 and not one issue. Must be lucky.Quote:
