I'm looking very hard at this build for a small gaming center that will be hooked up to my TV for dedicated 720p play. I've already got 4 gigs of ram to go with it and a nice PSU. I still need to decide on graphics,CPU and case though. I'm currently hung up on the e6550 and as for graphics and case, I still have no clue.
i did fsb 520 on this board:

currently running e8400 @ 4Gh (445 fsb) with vcore set on auto... so as far as fsb overclocking is concerned, it should do ok.
it might need vcore mod though; there was one on hardforums somewhere.
I bought this board and really like it so far. I've had it ~1 month and have had zero issues with it. I plan on OCing it in the future, but right now I'm busy with other things. :up:
The reviews at newegg are not very good, but they are good across the net generally. So far this definitely seems to be a rockin' little board.....:yepp:
E8400
P5E-VM HDMI
Ballistix 4-4-4-12 4x1GB
Asus 8800GT
Seagate 7200.11 500GB x2
Corsair 620HX
Bench-top style on stock air atm. Will setup in WC case when I get done modding it. WC cpu and NB--maybe vid card later.....
Very Happy with this setup so far......

Max screen on air (SI-128SE), 8 * 590. Not bad for a matx board, I love it!
A waste eh?Quote:

This board is a beast! Can't wait to get my hands on one :)
I ended up with a P5E-VM DO.. I hope it performs about the same! :|
Just swapped out an E6000 for an E8400 on my P5E-VM HDMI and it will not post now, nothing, nada not a single beep.. never had to rma a board in above 15 years :shrug:
How long have You had the MB? You may just need to put the E6000 back long enough to update the bios.....
Had latest bios in, E6600 back in and still playing no post...
Well, i got my E8400 running flawlessly on this board, even with default bios (0301). Now i am on 0405 and have lots of issues with standby/resume. Actually, only with resume... as my computer simply doesn't want to get out from standby state :( Also, another bad issue is the fan controlling method. On every fan profiles, i get either 3000 RPM (maximum speed - too noisy), either 350-400 RPM (too low, even get fan errors).... It's just strange...
Btw, i've noticed they released Beta Bios 0503 in here: http://support.asus.com/download/dow...-VM%20HDMI Any news about what's fixed ? Hopefully the standby and cooling options...
I heard that the latest beta bios fixes all the fan control / resume issues
i was trying to hunt down 0502 bios - it was the one where they fixed the sleep issue.
hopefully 0503 has those fixes in it as well. ppl seem to have good luck with it:

Anybody know what's the fastest DDR2 ram this MB will handle? Folks have used 1066.....anybody use anything faster?
Thanx! :up:
Hi,
Anybody has used a FSB800 cpu with this mobo and 1:1 ratio??
I'm going to buy a P5E-VM SE for use with a Celeron 430.
Thanks!
How about DDR2 1200?Quote:
