Please keep us posted what difference there is from 1002.
I flashed it with 1006 and it works fineQuote:

Does anyone else have problems with the built in Wifi on this board? It is super slow and I am even using the newest drivers off of the Asus website. I even tried a different connection other than mine (someone in the neighborhood) and its still worse than molasses. I connected my Abit Airpace Wifi card and all is good now. Is this a problem with all the P5K-Es or is it just mine?
I dont use the Wifi on my board. I didnt even know it had wireless lan till after I got it home and started using it.Quote:

Good for web surfin` and e-mail I suppose.
I like 1004 so far. It made my system seem rock steady. I`m going to hold off updating to 1006 until anything goofy happens on 1004.Quote:

Do you have the crappy Asus Wifi software from the CD installed? I can't remember what it's called but it's horrible for performance, if you have it installed, remove it.Quote:

Yeah the Asus Wifi-AP Solo manager program. I haven't tried removing it. I'll give it a try tonight and let you guys know.Quote:

Glad to see i wasn't the only one who gained nothing by messing with this setting.
Let's hope bios 1006 will be good news.
I done the same, and I had the same result: no effect on stability..but : with IP35pro, I had oc problems with every ram modules, and I adjusted the ddr2 ref voltage( i.e NB reference voltage ), and with this I managed to overclock them about +50Mhz. It would be nice, that adjusting gtl refs had such effect on oc-ing my q6600:) but these BIOSes are like birdshxt on a black shoe.Quote:

I do not manage to exceed the 440 of stable FSB!!:mad:

I feel that my E8500 can go up very high since I boot to 4500MHz to 1.48v.:)
Moreover I am not stable with 7 * 500 same with 1.7v for NB.:shrug:
It is possible that this evening the bios 1002 because with the 0502 I went up rather high in FSB with my 65nm.
What think about it?
Thanks

I'm curious, is it higher or lower (or trial & error) on the GTL that allows
you to turn down the vcore some while keeping the stability? I have it set
to the lowest value of 057x and I have been inching my vcore down and im
still stable.
An idea or a recommendation? :(Quote:

immediately in prime95, I then bumped the GTL up to 0.61x (I think) and It
actually ran Prime95 for about 30min and then one core got a rounding error.
So maybe give it a try, I have not seen any negative results with 1006 as
of yet.
So your are you saying that it's stable at 440fsb (CPU @ 4400mhz) but nothing over? Maybe try setting your strap to 400, also I run my NB @ 1.70Quote:

thanks
Cpu @ 4180Mhz (9.5 X 440) now
strap to 400 ? (9.5 X 400?)
NB @ 1.70v is any risk too important, to roast not?
No relation with the bios 1002 according to you?
Not to be able to exceed 440 stable FSB it is not current!

Just bought a P5K-E from Newegg last week. It shipped with 0906 BIOS, I'm currently running at these settings:
FSB: 434 x 9 =3.9Ghz
vcore: 1.3875 (bios), in windows reads 1.28 (vdrop = .1, no vdroop at all)
everything on auto
except
vdimm: 2.1v
dram settings: 4-5-5-15
I have 2 problems.
1st, I can't seem to get it stable at 4Ghz, at least at under 1.4v in BIOS which is the max I want to give it.
2nd, and this is the biggie. I have sound popping, cracking noise.
I though maybe it was an issue with my old Audigy LS pci soundcard, so I tried the onboard soundmax & had the same issue. So I thought maybe the PCI bus was "dirty" and had some issue with signal distortion, etc.. So I got a X-Fi PCIe card and I'm still getting the popping noise. I tried using my speakers, headphones, etc... still the same issue. :( WTF, could it be that would affect 3 different soundcards? (Audigy PCI card, onboard Soundmax, and X-Fi PCIe card)
Could it been my powersupply or something supplying a dirty power signal?
Also using v1004 here... so far no problems. I even managed to overclock my q6600 to 3.25GHz. With BIOS v1002 and lower, I couldn't get past 3.12.Quote:

1004 works great cpu stable at lower voltage
New bioses, new problems: AI Nap doesn't work and errors in memtest... waiting for new one.
