Look at post #465. :)
And u can see it really good on 32M! Try that settings with a straight boot from bios.

my bad, should have read more carefully - thank you again...
ive read a ton of oc'ing guides from years back when i built my first rigs, and that doesnt make me a hardcore overclocker, and i am not a hardcore extreme oc'er.
but to start off willy nilly with the highest voltage settings is one of the stranger and reckless things i have read.
the best guides i have seen teach that the best way to oc is to be smart, patient and find out each components voltage requirements smartly to get it to where you want to go without overvolting it.
its one thing to be scared of voltage, that is no good - but to just say CRANK IT UP and go is irresponsible. ive seen this thread now linked from 3 other sites for people with the p5b-deluxe, and it is terrible that nobody is telling these people that they are quite possibly killing their equipment and the lifespan of their gear ebcause of terrible beginner advice.
U mean the first post of this thread, yes?
Only thing i can read there is:
And this two are just the voltages for the chipset of the motherboard. Funny thing is, if u set ur NB Vcore to Auto(most of the people think this should be safe!) u have a real 1,77V on ur Northbridge! :DQuote:
Select maximum values for highest NBCC/FSB success rate.
Sorry, but can't really see anything dangerous in that post.
In bios under the hard drive options where it says how to run the sata drives... the options are RAID, IDE and ICH8.... what does ICH8 do? Anyone know?
i agreeQuote:

In my opinion, there is no NBCC which has relationship with cpumulti.
NB's major function is giving datalink between cpu and other devices via FSB.
So, there is NO reason to use cpumulti for clocking NB.
Followings are information about clocking NB qouted from P965 Datasheet.
(G)MCH Clocking
Differential Host clock of 133/200/266 MHz (HCLKP/HCLKN). These clock
frequencies support transfer rates of 533/800/1066 MT/s. The Host PLL generates 2x, 4x, and 8x versions of the host clock for internal optimizations.
Chipset core clock synchronized to host clock Internal and external memory clocks of 266 MHz, 333 MHz, and 400 MHz generated from one of two (G)MCH PLLs that use the host clock as a reference. This includes 2x and 4x for internal optimizations.

Hey guys, so heres the deal. I've had my setup for a while and now I'm trying to OC it. Currently I'm running the newest bios and I'm stable at 3.2ghz using dual instance Orthos and ATITool just to be sure. The only thing is my temps are topping out at 56c for the cpu stress test and 47 for the cpu/ram blend stress test. Are these temps too high? I'm at 1.325v. Thanks

Besides that, I'd like to thank everyone that contributed to this thread (and ofcourse http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/....php?t=112648).
Helped me a lot :-). I have no problems upto now, no crackling sound (played Oblivion, Gothic 3). My setup has a E6600 @ 3Ghz and I have a RAID 0 & 1 setup.
R.
are those bios setting is it with a vdroop mod board or a stock board? thanksQuote:

It's also VERY unacceptable with all the other issues people are having with PCIE x1 issues etc.... This has been one of the worst board experiences I've ever had and I've been doing this for 12 years now. I've never actually owned an ASUS board and I don't think I ever will again. I'm considering RMA'ing my second board and considering going with a different chipset all together. The pro's for this board/chipset just do not out weight the cons... Ok my venting is over now. =)
12 years, and you don't know what AHCI and ICH8 means. What have you been doing 12 years, playing with yourself ;).Quote:

hey guys past like 430fsb my board reports the cpu speed as some crazy number
36.26Ghz or somtin why, im using 804 bios
In the manual of the P5B Deluxe / WiFi the following two options are explained, but I can't find them in BIOS (official 0910) :
Hyper Threading Technology
Inter SpeedStep Technology
(see p 4-22)
In the screenshots from FCG it seems those options are gone also.
Anyone ? Thanks.
Speedstep is last option cpu tab. Scroll down for it.
scroll !?!Quote:

bios, cpu, use arrow down to go to last option :D
Guys think I would get better performance out of 450fsbx7 or 400x9 with tighter mem timings?
it depends what timings? 3-3-3? 4-4-4? 3-4-3?Quote:

are you trying to max out your cpu and mem? or just testing mem?
I'm trying to get the fastest performance possible on my 24/7 box...
I do a lot of heavy multitasking and video games....
bump
9x400 would crush it. Even 9x356 with 4:5 memory ratio would handily beat the 7x450 in multi-tasking scenarios.
So it's just when you're faced with the same clock speed or very similar clock speed that the higher FSB would be more of a benefit? Like lets say the toatal speed was within a hundred mhz of each other...the one with the higher FSB would beat the one with the lower FSB with a lower multi?
In general yes, but on the P5B there are a couple of other factors. These are the change in strap at 401MHz and memory ratios. Going from 400Mhz to 401Mhz results in a significant drop in memory bandwidth and higher latency, so its usually better to get as close to 400MHz FSB as possible, and use the memory ratios to exploit faster memory. Here are some results I did at various settings at around 3.2GHz. The memory timings remain the same at 4-5-5-15 and the applications used are WinRAR's built-in test (multithreaded) and the throughput of two separate QuickPar recovery creation sessions running simultaneously.Quote:
