You definitely do not want to Piss in Sierras Cherrios :) .
yeah dude....i sent an apology already. loong nite, battling with the lady this morning = snappy mood.
I'm good now though. :toast:
yo Sierra...my bad bro!
Perhaps because the board may also be used to run other currently available CPU's, and others that are yet to be released?Quote:

hey guys, i have a couple questions.
specs:
E6600 (week 24 if i recall)
p5B deluxe wifi
gskill 2x1gbHZ at 4-4-4-12
CPU Freq. - 339
DRAM Freq. - 4:5
PCI-E Freq. - 100
PCI Clock - 33.33 MHz
Spread Spectrum - auto
Memory Voltage - 2.10V
CPU Vcore - 1.36
(all other settings on this page - Auto)
Advanced -> CPU Conf.:
Modify Ratio - DISABLED
C1E - DISABLED
Max CPUID - Disabled
Vanderpool - Enabled
CPU TM - enabled
Execute Disable - enabled
PECI - Disabled
Speed Step Disabled
Firstly, my bios FSB voltage doesn't reflect what it reports in windows. Is that normal or is something wrong. For example I set it to 1.36 but it only displays 1.31.
secondly, orthos priority 9 failed after 30 minutes at 1.36 at only 9x339. that freq seems rather low to fail compared to some of you guys. should i investigate or just stick with adding more volts?
Try running 1:1 and see if that helps. Or if you want to stay 4:5, raise memory to 2.2v.
And welcome to XS.:)
thanks, i forgot about that, reminds me of my ochem test today...always forgetting something
why didn't u say welcome to me too? :)Quote:

My g.skill hz can are having enough with 2.1V @ 475MHz and 266SPD timings, but i recommend u to set it to 2.15V or 2.2V.
Like u have noticed, somehow the voltage drops by 0.05 V (therefore, 2.15V).
Try running 1:1, it musnt be a problem. Disable spread spectrum.
Set the voltages 2 above default.
I have (i thought):
VNB=1.45V
VFSB=1.30V
Vcore= 1.500 (1.45 in windows), TEST THIS OUT!! You mag require less volt
Vsb=1.6V
Vich= 1.057V
Vdimm=2.15
I hope this is a bit usefull.
i'm trying this now. 1.500 does read 1.45 in windows, so i guess that's normal. temps are getting hot though at around 58-64C load. Maybe I can lower the voltage if this doesn't fail. thanksQuote:

Thats a lot of juice for 506MHz :D
Can't u get higher?
Where have u got bios 0801, i cant see it on the asus site.
Is it an official release? or beta?
2blank, i use 1.5000, that does NOT mean that u shall need too. Just try to get the right Vcore by testing, not too high not too less.
thanks. this forum is the place to be these days. when did this place become popular? where have i been all these years?

Yeah, it's a good idea to loosen the timings on the memory, or go to a 1:1 divider to take the memory out of the equation while you find your highest FSB. I have the same memory, however, and I am running them at a FSB of 390, 4:5 divider (DDR2 975) at 4-4-3-8 timings, so they are capable of much more than they are doing now. I have them at 2.3v in BIOS, which reads 2.25v in ASUS AI suite. AI Suite reems to read .06 volts low, I have my Vcore at 1.5v, and AI suite reads 1.44. Many people have their NB and FSB termination voltages at auto, I have mine almost maxed out. You are probably going to hav eto increase your Vcore a bit to get a beter overclock...as long as CPU temps stay under 60 degrees at load (get the Intel Thermal Analysis Tool) you should be safe.Quote:

i want to bring my e6600 7x500 1:1! i read the nbcc variable... can i bring it 24/7 stable?
if yes, can anyone post his settings?
thnx
mulambo
what are your settings right now?
as for me, i'm at 9x356 now, 1.40 vcore, 1.45 bios, i tried one step below but olthoi failed, so i guess if i want to stay at 3.2 i'll need 1.40. thanks guys
I'm very satisfy with these babies: P5B Deluxe Wifi AP Bios 0801 + Teamgroup Extreem 2GB Kit + Allendale 6300 :up:
Right now, I toasted them to look the stability for my daily used.

ps- if you have any ideas for me to try to see if I can get stable at higher speeds, by all means, let me know.
It's on Orthos, bro. Heavy load. Imho, for the heavily benchmark like Orthos, Prime95 and OCCT, the CPU temp is always raising so much :cool:Quote:

Fsb 460 (bios set before you clockgen to achieve 486) not stable for Orthos? Maybe you can raise vcore, vmem and vchipset before you loosing the mem timing. In my opininion, if you can't stable @ your screenshoot, 3.4Ghz is useless for the daily use.Quote:

I've tried many combinations, including increasing my Vcore and Vdimm, and I don';t know why my system just does not like anything above 466....467 is where things go south. :(

The first goals is possible to reach :). The second? I don't know, going to find out :) Or can you tell me if it is possible or not? But is the first goal possible to reach with the stock cooling? Or do I need to buy a nice Zalman also?
Also I see that everybody here tunes his PCI-Express bus to 120 Mhz. On another forum I'm a member off, the keep there PCI-E speed at 100/101 Mhz. Why the difference? What gain do you get out of dat increase to 120? I'm not a gamer (I have an nVidia GeForce 6600EN Silencer now, and I'm not going to replace it). I do have an RAID-controller in my PCI-E bus (an Promise SuperTrak EX8350). How is he going to cope with that increase?
Another detail: you all run Windows. I do not :). I use Gentoo Linux on a daily basis. Do you know any alternatives for Orthos for Linux? I have an alternative for CPU-z: cat /proc/cpuinfo :)
This is going to be my first OC. The 10% I get on my AMD64 3500+ do I get out Asus AI NOS (or something, don't know the exact name :p). I already know I have to read a lot, but I didn't find anwsers on the questions I have now :). I hope somebody is willing to give me the answers.

Is there any software out there that can read VDimm on this board? I had trouble getting my RAM to work reliably until I had the VDIMM set at "Auto."
AISuite only reports "Auto" for the memory voltage.
I'd like to know where it is set when it is on auto so that I could manually set it to that voltage so that it won't drift at the whim of the BIOS.
Welcome - but according to this post you will have alot to learn. First of all 3.6Ghz might be tough. 3.0 - 3.2 is do-able with more possible especially with stock cooling. You will want to use aftermarket Second even at 2.4 Ghz my C2D crushed my X2 3800 @ 3 Ghz. When you OC you OC both cores you don't OC them separately. So the conroe will crush a 3500 even a E6300 at stock will crush your 3500 overclocked. Set PCI to 120 gives you a boost in PCI-e bandwidth that you'll never take advantage of, I set mine to 101 to ensure the PCI-e lock is working. The P5B-E I use has a PCI lock to 33, so you shouldn't have issues with overclocked PCI bus.Quote:

Does it matter?
Set it at 2.15V, thats what mines best at, and most DDR2 sits around 2.1-2.2V
Test around 2-2.3V
What is the max vdimm on the P5B DELUXE? I have the P5B-E which is only 2.1v :(Quote:

2.45v, but real vdimm is arround 2.40 and 2.42vQuote:

I totally understand that if you rase the FSB or something that it as effect on both cores. I know that it isn't possible to run one core at 3,6 Ghz and the other at 2,4 Ghz :) (why you would want that is also a nice question :p).
ok. Then I think I'm going to use 101 Mhz for PCI-E and 33 Mhz for PCI (33 Mhz was also in the startpost ;))Quote:

I need some help getting a higher OC on my P5b Deluxe wifi...
At 506 x 7 I am 9hrs+ Orthos Stable with 1.525v on the CPU.
At 507 x 7 I cannot pass 1 hour of Orthos at any Vcore...
I have the BIOS settings set to the settings in this thread.
I did not change PCIe Freq. and I upped ICH voltage to 1.25
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know... I'd really like to hit 515 x 7 stable. Am I pumping too much voltage into anything to where it could possibly limit my OC?
Thanks!
I have found that heat will affect maximum FSB. So using more CPU VCore may not be the answer. If you haven't done so already, try using 1.8v for SB VCore.
It may be that your CPU can't do more than 506FSB with the cooling you're using. Each chip has a different limit.

Its hard not to be satisfied with 3.5ghz, but I really want to reach 3.6!!!
Thanks!
I want to reach 10GHz , but cant reach it, there is a limit.
But i am satisfied at 3.3GHz
Go for 100% oc man.. 532FSBQuote:

Ok please don't flame my nub questions but...
A. Can someone explain what NBCC stands for and what his nbcc = multi default/multi set x fsb means?
B. When I was shopping for an opty to overclock a while back everyone said get a higher multiplier for higher o/c without stressing other parts out? In this scenario he says "select your multiplier. Note: lower multipliers will result in larger NBCC:FSB." I guess if I knew what nbcc stood for it may help but why would you buy a more expensive, higher multiplied cpu to downclock?
This would help a lot and thank you.
forget about the nbcc:FSB, ive heard it actually isn't true
nbcc= north bridge core clock is the way i read it anyway.
on the other question a high muti doesnt let you maximize the fsb bandwidth.
you want everything to run @ maximum speed
To add to the confusion...
I have run my p5b vanilla and p5b deluxe up to 562 fsb
and here's the kicker...
while I have vmods on both boards, I have them set so that what the bios says is what i got, no overvoltage..and both boards run at those fsb's with everything set on auto!!! except for vcore
even if you do no vmods, you should check what the actual mem, fsb, etc. voltages are when you choose values in the bios
On my vanilla, fsb has options of auto, 1.2,1.3,1.4 and 1.45..strangly, the voltages go to either 1.2 or 1.4 no matter what setting you choose
In the case of a E6300 or 6400 not going over 507 fsb, as mentioned already, it may just be that the cpu is at it's limit
simply try a lower multiplier to see if 520 x 6 or 520 x 5 works. if it does, then it's not your fsb settings, it's your cpu maxed out
only choice is more voltage...stay under 1.9 and only for short spurts...this is assuming that you can cool it of course
hope this helps

Just switched from a ds3 which was nothing but problems to a p5b delux and so far here are my results.
FSB 399 x 8(I heard the boot strap hurts performance at 400 or more)
Memory 1:1 4,4,4,12 @ 798mhz
vdimm 2.1
vcore 1.425(in bios), 1.38(in windows)
fsb term 1.45
nb 1.45
sb 1.6
Temps are about 41C idle, 58C dual orthos load
I've done a bunch of gaming for hours with no issues and 1 hour orthos stable
Now where should I go from here? Should I stick with 399 or move to 400 or even higher? I don't think I can go much higher than 400 considering my load temps. Does 400fsb actually hurt performance because of the strap? Do my voltages seem on spot(anything excessive?)
Oh and I am having one nagging problem. I can restart my system without a problem but if I completely power down(like overnight or for a few hours) and then boot from a cold boot I have to hard reset a few times as windows doesn't load. After bios post it just goes to black screen and my usb devices lights turn off. 2 or so hard resets and it finally will boot all the way up and behave stable. I have no issues doing resets just cold power ups. Anyone seen this?
I have the most recent 0804 bios. See sig for rig.
So you heard that the boot strap is hurting performance............
What if you can get your FSB high enough that it simply overcomes any of those high NB latency shortfalls? the only way to know is up the FSB/Boot/bench/rinse/repeat.
ePENIS benchmarks are great for numbers, but try and find a bench program that most closely matches what you intend to use your PC for.Heck, if all else fails - use Futuremark PC Bench. SiSoftware Sandra has some pretty generic benchroutines, too.
Stability tests are also pretty opinionated. I've had Prime/Orthos run for 2 days, but 10 minutes in BF2 and i'm back at the desktop. For gaming, I use BF2 and 3D Mark 05 for a stability run.
There are tons of opinons, but everybody's opinion is as diverse as their hardware setup. You're going ot have to do the leg work to see what's best for you. Don't just settle.
I have gone by the recommendations of FCG on the bios settings. I own a P5B-D, C2D 6400, Muskin DDR2 667. I have read through many pages on this forum, and have learned much, but not all I feel I should know about overclocking. My last over clock was on my last pc a AMD 3200+ XP with a Asus A7N8X and Geil DDR ram, so it has been a while.
I followed all the settings provided by FCG, except the FSB Term. Volt., NB VCore, and SB VCore, and the PCI Express Freq. Those are on auto, and 100 for PCIE Freq, as well as the ram is at the stock voltage of 1.9v. Those settings seem a little more dangerous to max out
I have been able to oc to 400x8=3.2GHz. This is only an hour of dual Prime95s stable. My temps are 45c idle, and 60c load. I have a Zalman CNPS9500 HSF. My CPU voltage 1.280. I am running the latest bios version from Asus 0804.
The question I ask is what should I do, bump up voltage, if so what settings, or should I drop the FSB from 400 down to 388 or 375?
I wouldnt use the settings of FSG, these are set too high. I would only use them for a suicide test.
these are good for 24/7
vdimm 2.1 (TEST THIS!!! May require more/(less))
vcore 1.425(TEST THIS, may require more/less)
fsb term 1.45
nb 1.45
sb 1.6
cpu settings= vanderpool, cpu tm, execute disable bit ===== these 3 enabled, the others disabled.
Uh, Kakulukia, the setting you had listed there, many of them are the same as suggested by FCG.
I did not make those changes in my bios, they seemed more risky maxed out, they are all on auto.Quote:

My current cpu vcore is at 1.285, and you say i should bump it up to 1.425, that a huge jump. What should I do?
has anyone tried the new 0804 bios yet>? any improvements?
has anyone gotten there pcie speed over 120?
at 121, the sata drives are not there
any solution?
What ram settings do I use to run my ram at 4-4-4-12 ?
I understood the first 4-4-4's then i got lost where it starts going 8-4-35
then 10-10-10-10

Change the 8 (RAS act. to precha) to 12 youll be at 4-4-4-12.
Did u read the ''may require less/more'' part?Quote:

I wish that the setfsb or clockgen people would add the p5b vanilla chip to their list. My vanilla hits higher stable clocks than my deluxe version.
I can get 550 fsb on the d and 562 on the vanilla, plus it's more stable and i can get my e6600 up to 4.7Ghz on the v while 4.6 is twitchy on the d
Only problem is that without setfsb or clockgen tweaks, I have to do it all in the bios, and things aren't quite as flexible.
Plus I have cad/cam software that requires a dongle installed in a printer port, so my vanilla is my daily driver at the moment.
I guess that my fooling around box will get a dose of 680i
what do you guys have set for power menu options? do you have acpi 2.0 enabled and do you have acpi apic enabled? ( i use xp pro 32 bit).
I dont know, i have let them at default. But you can also change that in windows,
control panel>> energy>>
I'm bumping this for any possible answers. Rojack's talks about disabling these if you have issues w/ sound card popping. And from what I gather, APIC provides IRQ's above 15/16?? I'm about to reinstall Win and will probably keep default, but just curious...what do we know about these 2?Quote:

Anyway, I recieved my E6600 and began to start overclockn.
here are my questions (i want to make a personall view of what voltages are often used):
How much Vnb do u use when OC? :
I personnaly use 1.45V or 1.55V
How much is the influence of Vfsb?
I was stable at 1.30V with my E6300, i ll have to figure out what is stable now (1.3 or 1.4). I noticed that 1.45V gives errors in orthos.
How much is the influence of vSB to your OC?
Because, i think the southbridge is a bit passive.......
The default voltage is 1.5V,
so... should i select 1.6V or 1.7V
-Vich8,
I presume this has no effect at your overclock, so it must be set to the lowest value (1.057V).
About PCI;
the default pci latency timer value is 64, all other motherboards use 32? Shoud i just lower it to 32?

As for pci timer, leave it be unless you are haveing issues with a pci card.
Latency timer tweaks have fixed sound blaster crackling issue for me in the past and thats the only good reason i can see to adjust it.
I just cant believe it. No matter what voltages I try, I cant get above 450 FSB. anything above that is no boot with my P5B-D I just bought (rev 1.03G). Its not the mem, that can do easily 1ghz. I have tried every voltage on everything and only get 10mhz more with all voltages maxed. What am I possibly doing wrong? Could it be my cpu that is so crap it cant go above 450fsb even @ 6x mp? please help before a bad accident occurs here...
By the way, do I need to actively cool the NB heatsink? the bios says its only 30C which is BS because when I feel it its a lot warmer, but not as burning hot as the DS3 gets. what the hell is going on... also I have the latest bios 0804
If you have tried every different voltage, and lowererd the multiplier.......Quote:

where can I see that? anyway I'm gonna swap this E6300 with my other one, hopefully its the cpu. any last tips?
You can see it on the box and on the cpu itself.
Still , the best overclocks are done by an E6300.
Question=
How much is auto voltage when overclocking?
I figured that auto Vcore is 1.60 (1.55V in windows).
But how much volt is VSB,VNB,Vich,VFSB at auto.
voltages w/no overclock should be=
Vsb= 1.5V
Vnb=1.25v
Vich=1.05
dont know vfsb .....
rofl you're not gonna believe this... it WAS the cpu. changed the L627 with a L626, and BAM went from 450 to 514FSB (bootable). Quickly ran into other problems though, I had to place my x1900xt in the second 4X PCI-E slot for it to boot properly, which is hurting 3d performance, and it will only be prime stable at 500fsb. Well better than nothing, still expected better from this board. I think I will be replacing this with a P5B-E Plus asap.
Anyone else experienced these problems?
wow man that is a huge differenceQuote:

is anyone using the latest bios for asus p5d dh deluxe and have screenshots i could use to overclock mine?been through the whole thread and having a hard time here
I now have it running at around 3 GHZ (333 X 9)
DDR2-800 (Something funny like 806 for the DRAM Frequency)
Need to look at BIOS again:)
Vcore 1.425
vFSB 1.4
vNB 1.45
vSB 1.6
Crucial DDR2-800 memory at 4-4-4-12 (2.25 V)
It is running at 52 C on average at load (Core Temp & CPU-Burn-in)
It cools down to 46 C when not at load.
Is this ok for a Core Temp ??
Any good words from someone using an E6600 and Crucial memory ??
Ok folks this might be stupid, but how does FSB:DRAM ratio work ???
CPU-Z says I am running at 4:5.
I here people talking about 2:3 and 1:1
How does this work ?
Thanks!
Changed to DDR2-666 MHZ; Now I have 1:1 Ratio in CPU-Z
What is better at 3 GHZ (1:1 or 4:5) ??
Thanks!

It depends on the capabilities of your system.
Didnt/dont u have mathmetics at school?
4=FSB
5=Dram
like 4x333=xxx/5= xxx (x2 =ddr)
2:3=
2x333=xxx/3=xxx(x2=ddr)
As revv said, 4:5 is faster. But you'd better go 1:1 till cpu's limit.
Guys, just mounted my "C2D 6400 + P5B Dlx" rig and I've reached very easy my minimum OC target -> 3500Mhz (501x7).
Validation here.
Now the fun stuff is that for this OC is 100% stable by just changing the vCore and vDimm voltages ... all other voltages are set to it's minimum values !! :D :banana: :D
No discussion possible,Quote:

Nice clocks,
still i think it isnt really stable. Just set the settings a step higher to be sure.
How far does it get at 8x?
What is a good temp for idle and load.Quote:

Thanks!
P.S. What are the best setting for a E6600 ??
It's 2 x Orthos stable :DQuote:

lol why 501 and not 500 straight:rolleyes:Quote:

x8 is the multiplier, it doesnt effect the divider, it will stay 1:1.Quote:
