The xfi sounds golden to me! hehe
so guys, i've just submitted an RMA for my P5K premium... i dont want to spend money on getting a X38 at the moment... and as for OC'ing, i am no pro, but would like this build to be my OC'ing first...
would you recommend this board over P5K Deluxe or Premium?
thanks.
Yes ....get the Board its a Bad Mutha F@cka:slapass:
so far im VERY happy with this board so i can just agree with Esau, get this board :D
but be aware, you will spend quite some time getting infos, and playing arround with all the settings...cause there are...quite a few options in the bios ;) (i had a p5k deluxe aswell...sold it cause...donno..didnt ever feel really comfortable with asus boards...)

as for the bios and it's complexity... well, i guess this is going to be one heck of a learning experience...
with all the nice features like not needing to clear cmos with the jumper or, cmos reloaded its pretty comfortable anyways i think :) uill love it (using sata dvd aswell here, so that shouldnt be a problem :) )Quote:

Got mine on the slab awaiting a G0 Q6600--everything else is ready to go. Been re-reading this great thread and getting psyched.
Finally Finished up some Prime Blending.....Pretty Happy So Far!!

Took a while but Blend is definately stable. Time for some more Small FFT's.

Like I have said before anything prior to getting this Motherboard has felt incomplete and lacking in what I expected a Overclocking Motherboard to be although I will say this the Abit IP35 Pro that I had before this is a most excellent board but this board surpasses it in leaps and bounds its just a overclockers Dream come true.
Just waiting on my Cell Shock 4-4-4-12 (PC2 8000) Ram so I can take this board to the Xtreme:cord: :cord: :cord:
Also as a strong point of interest for those of you considering this board the Cooling system that delayed the release of this board was and is well worth the extra wait time PWM area Full tilt Prime 8hrs never climaxes over 51c and NB 50C and mine runs hotter than most I can only imagine how well this cooling system really works with the entire Transpiper/ Copper Plate set up in conjunction with very good water cooling:eek:
Any help on this

Thanks
Gave you what I know already! It's a DFI man and they are renowned to no like some PSU's but I would think that would not be one of them for sure.
Try another power supply:rolleyes:
Heres a screenie of my 8hr Prime run:up:
...um... it must be getting late... cus i dont see any pics...
You must be tired. Looks great Esau! :p:
Sorry experiencing some technical difficulties with image uploading! But thats pretty impressive right > this boards so fast you cant even see it:D
I'm getting there...
I did an 8 hour prime95 v2.54 large fft run with my G0 Q6600 L725A903 @ 450x8. I brought the CPU VTT voltage down to a level I'm more comfortable with. I found that it's all in the GTL's. At first I was trying using the 67% rule, but after bumping them up progressively (leaving everything else the same), I went from a few minutes before failing large fft to eventually settling on 116/116/117, which allowed the 8 hours without failing.

Also the GTL setting to actual voltage is a sliding scale. With VTT set at 1.20V a GTL of 125 will be 0.875V. But if VTT is set to 1.43 The same 125 GTL will be 0.975V.Quote:

i've read that P35 you really dont need WC'ing on NB/SB...

now i've RMA'd the P5K... and waiting to see when i receive the DFI...
Nothing... It certainly doesn't need it at 500mhz bus. Not hot at all. Runs 4ghz as listed in my sig orthos stable for 12 hours and the n/b and pwm temps never go over 55. this is in an enclosed internal case, not an open system, and no transpiper installed. Also, I live in Arizona, and my ambient temp is 82 degrees F in my house.Quote:

Heres my 3.4GHZ Prime run on this Board will post up template in a little while
