hmmm this is weird now....mind to tell me what speed are u using now??? like whats the fsb and whats the multiplier like.... guess the mods did help in this issue :cool:Quote:

Well I got my E6300 to 420FSB.
I have to say Im tottaly shocked.
I bought a set of cheap Patriot 333s, timmings 56615
And the ram wont run at anything but stock timings, stock speed, OCed anythign, just wont post with anything but stock timings.
I couldnt do 1 loop of super Pi at 400fsb, but 400+ anything it does no problem.
So an E6300 on a P5B Vanilla with cheap 333MHz Patriots running at 420FSB with a 1:1 divider so the ram is 420 too, who woulda thunk it would OC by that much at 2.1V :P Value for the money eh And also an Artic
http://www.is-mad.com/upload/userfil..._at_420fsb.jpg
Im still not done though, Ill wait a couple of days to see how stable it is, although after 3 hours of stress seems to work fine. Anything from 32mb SuperPi to gaming.
Can someone point me a link where steps of bios update from Windows is explained?
By the way 0701 is right one for winXP?
thanks.
Download the latest BIOS from the Asus site (0711 i think), install Asus Update from the software CD or download from web. Click update BIOS from file. Reboot.Quote:

I got a 2GB OCZ 6400 gold kit.
I think I'll go with the P5B, but I'm not sure yet, any recommendations?
Tested like 10 P5Bs (nonDeluxes) last month - all struggled to reach 420MHz, so you`re better off with DS3 or P5B-Deluxe
The new bios greatly improved my ocing on the board tho. I was struggling with 400+fsb on the board with 0509 bios. With the new one I got too 425*8.. But im waiting for phase+voltmods. Then ill try and max everything out. Hows the nb heatsink quality coolingwise from the P5B?

Edit: I'm not really sure. It would be very fun to break 4GHz with my E6400.. I thought the DS3 had a lot of bugs, but maybe most of them has been solved with newer bioses? I'll order a new board tomorrow.
say u guys have any one had problem with getting above 600mhz mem speed on this , can get above it :s . i know that mems can easy handel it :p but if the bord can ?
any one know ? hope is only a bios bug that gives me that poor mem support
did you do Vmem mods ?
stock volts of 2.1V is not enough for 550MHz for most of mem sticks ;)
lol g.skill 6400HZ give up to 2.85vdimm not over the 600mhz :s , this sucks , can do 550mhz mem 32m pi and 3d and stuff with 2.4vdimm ;) .Quote:

now this system works in most aplications but crashes each time @ 3dmark05 in the CPU test 1 if fsb is above 400 it crashes each time. :<
tryed my memory @ 4:5 it faild. but when using 466 combo 1:1 almost all of the test programs work with out reboots, tryed upping the voltage on cpu and FSB no luck same effect reboots @ 3dmark05 altho the 3dmark06 works fine.
Tryed almost all settings that effect o/c in bios still no luck. maybe memory limitation
Hi guys,
Has anyone tried Linux on this motherboard?
If yes which one.
Also late Macintosh operating system ?

Thanks for the tip, did not know it was out.
The only thing I noticed straight away with the new bios is my PC does not cold boot everytime I enter bios now. Apart from that, no cool new features like NB/SB/MCHsettings or more vdimm options =(
Yeh mine doesnt cold boot either :DQuote:

What's the most stable bios so far for the ASUS P5B?
Take the last bios available.
Hi guys,
First time posting here.
I still have a cold-boot problem with the 801 BIOS. I only have this cold-boot issue when I'm running overclocked though (7x400; 2.8GHz x 1600MHz).
Just to make sure though - a "cold boot" is when you go to restart from Windows, and the machine completely shuts down, then starts back up (instead of continuously running during the reboot), correct?
Also, does anyone else notice a small fluctuation in reported cpu speed on POST? Sometimes mine will say 2.81GHz; sometimes 2.80GHz. Not sure what that is all about...
One more question -
Is there any way to automatically skip the JMicron detection portion of the boot process? I have a SATA drive (my boot drive), a spare IDE ATA drive, and a IDE DVDRW drive in the system. The JMicron sees the two IDE drives, but shows nothing of the SATA drive on this screen. Im not running any RAID or anything... This just seems like another delay to get to windows...
Thanks for any help!

Have you tried it? No problem at all? Like random reboot, cold boot...cuz I've to buy the mobo and for the price it seems the best out right there...Quote:

I'd also like to know how to do this but still have not figured it out. But I know where to diabled JMicron in the BIOS, I'll try that but I think the IDE devices wont be detected in POST then.Quote:

If you're using the Intel SATA ports, then it won't show you the SATA drives in that JMicron screen.
I have a newbie question though. I have Intel C2D E6300 and some Corsair RAM, TwinX 2x512 5400 C4 (675 MHz). I'd like to know how to overclock it slightly so that my memory will run in sync with the processor (now it runs in 4:5 ratio, I think, processor at 266 and memory at 333). I'd like to run both in 333. The problem is that when I change the settings in BIOS and save, I just get a blank screen and nothing happens. I have changed the CPU Frequency to 333 and DRAM Frequency to DDR2-667. I've also tried "locking" the PCI-E Frequency to 100 MHz and PCI Clock to 33.33 MHz, but that doesn't change a thing. I'm only looking for a very small overclock, for now and I can't even get that to work.
You have to change DRAM frequency to DDR2-533 (1:1). Setting DDR2-667 you're giving setting a 4:5 FSB:DRAM ratio, which means you mem is actually running at 500mhz :oQuote:

You are correct - at stock speeds (266/333) your memory is running the 4:5 divider. If you bump up your cpu to 333, you'll have to switch to the 1:1 divider. Just be aware that as you bump up your cpu frequency, your memory frequency will increase in proportion to the current divider you have set. With a 333 cpu frequency, you'll want to pick the option in the DDR frequency list that shows "667 MHz".Quote:

FSB termination voltage was a biggie when I was overclocking - I have mine set at the max.
With Corsair memory, you can safely go to the max of 2.1v. I have found this necessary (even when keeping your memory in-spec) when you overclock the FSB, as it places extra strain on your memory.
I'd increase your cpu vcore value to 1.35 - 1.4 for starters; you can always back it off until you start noticing stability problems.
Disable frequency spread spectrum in the jumperfree config area, and disable static read control under the "chipset" section where your DDR settings are. You may also want to configure those timings manually, as the defaults for Corsair memory are incorrect (there were for me at least). You may want to visit Corsairs website for the timings for your memory. They'll give you the first set (5-5-5-15 for example) - but you'll also need the last set. For my XM2S DDR800, my timings were 5-5-5-12-6-42-3-11-5-14 (the last 6 values were all default to 10 in the BIOS, whiched caused stability problems until I changed them). There is a utility out there called "memset" that runs under Windows, that reads your memory timings correctly - you run it on a stock setup, then get write the timings down. When you go to overclock, manually set up those values for your memory.
Hope this helps!

Hi people,
Someone can help me?..
Today i've bought an Asus P5B + E6300..i've just ordered from the USA a 2x1GB DualChannel KIt from MICRON (OEM) Pc2-4200 533Mhz with Fat Body D9DQW (128Mx64)..Does anyone know if they are compatible with the mainboard? I really need help..thanks :(
That should work, but it's on the slowest end of the spectrum. You won't have any headroom to overclock, since you will be extremely limited in the dividers you can work with. But, if you're not planning to overclock, they should work!Quote:

Also, I was not able to find those timings at Corsairs website, only 4-4-4-12.
And, people talk about divider and I've seen such thing on some other mobo's bioses, but P5B only gives the options shown on that pic.
And thanks in advance, I'm on a high learning curve to overclocking :)
daimaah,
I noticed in your pic that you have your CPU set to 533, and your DRAM frequency set to 1066 -- Both of these are far too high for your hardware.
So, starting from a default setup, go in and pick the lowest DDR frequency available in the list (this should be 533MHz). Then proceed to raise your CPU frequency up from 266MHz towards 333MHz. As you raise your CPU frequency, you'll also see the DDR frequency raise proportionally. STOP raising the CPU freq. when the DDR freq hits "667MHz". If you go over this, you'll be running your memory at a higher speed that what it is rated, and will probably cause stability issues.
Good luck,
Ryan
Hi, I took the picture from another thread here at xtreme systems, that's why I wrote the text and entered my numbers there.

Beta Version 0904
2006/12/01 update
Description P5B Beta BIOS version 0904
1. Support SLP2.0 string
2. Fix HCT unreported I/O and memory issuse
3. Enable USB disable support
4. Fix conroe L XD function cannnit be disabled issue
I wonder if this bios solve the reboot with cold boot problem: now I've 0806 bios and the problem appear to be random cuz if I save a setting in BIOS I've always cold boot while if I reboot from windows sometimes it goes straight, sometimes cold boot...
The problem is present only if the systems is overclocked (so always in my case :D ).
After all it's a great mobo for the money, stable and overclockable, only two things isn't really good: the reboot proble as stated above and the low vdimm from bios, but with a mod this problem is solved :D
I'll try this new beta bios...
No way to find the new bios for ASUS P5B on ASUS site.
Anyone tried the new beta yet? Any changes in cold boot or temp readings?
I am thinking to buy this mainboard for overclocking an E6300/E6400 CPU. Are there any better overclocking mainboards for the same money?
I'll use A-DATA DDR2-800 CL5. Any advices will be highly appritiated.
Thanks
ryandinan: I was not able to find the 6 last timing settings for my memory, any idea where I could find them? (Others can help me with this situation as well, I'm feeling desperate at the moment)
Edit: I did run Memset though, and here's the results:
http://personal.inet.fi/koti/dmh7/memset.jpg
Well, I did set the DDR frequency to DDR2-533 and CPU Frequency to 333 (DDR Frequency to 533 as it should keep the ratio automatically at 1:1 as it's the lowest it can do, right?) and gave vDim a boost to 1.9 plus disabled Spread Spectrum. But all I got was a blank screen and I had to reset the settings. We're not talking about a big overclock here, right? Just 7x266 to 7x333, and I think with my hardware it should be somewhat easily achievable. The temperatures are fine, I'm cooling the processor with Scythe Ninja.Quote:

Otherwise try booting at say 340 and see if that helps. Pretty sure there's a NB strap change at 333 FSB which could be causing u problems.
E6300 should be good for an easy 400FSB with only a small (if any) voltage boost required, so you *could* give 402 FSB a go (to utilise strap change) and see if you have any luck there. You'll probably need a voltage boost on the ram however.
For Core2, DDR2 900 5-5-5-15 is faster than DDR2 800 4-4-4-12.Quote:

Any news with cold boot issues?
Can anyone help?
I am stuck at 445FSB
Asus P5B non DLX with no mods

So, is this board that slow without mods? I have seen at least 500FSB with no mods..
All voltages are top, thanks for my watercooling. Bios version is 0806, newest?
Thanks for replies already :)
445 is "slow"???Quote:

Version 0904 was removed from the ASUS site and FTP.
Maybe there was something wrong with it?
^Or maybe they r gonna post the final ver soon.
There's a version 0908, currently only on the ASUS FTP:

I'm experiencing some major problems trying to overclock my P5B-E6400 system and really need some expert advice. So far no one I know or in the store could help me, so I'm hoping I'll have more luck with you guys!
My specs:
C2D E6400 (2,17 Ghz)
Asus P5B
2x1GB OCZ DDR-II 800 Mhz 4-4-4-15
GF8800GTS
stock cooling, Antec 480 PSU
I just want to mildly overclock this system, so it reaches E6600 stock speeds. I was hoping getting somewhere near 350-400 FSB, but so far even 300 Mhz is completely unstable! No matter what I try, I can't get it past 290 FSB.
Here 're the settings I tried:
- FSB only from 266 -> 333 !
- multiplier 8x (standard)
- Mem speed downgraded tot 667 (-> FSB/Mem 1:1 divider)
- very loose mem timings:
latency: 5
RAS to CAS delay: 6
precharge: 6
activate to precharge: 15
- CPU VCore Voltage: 1.3625V
- Mem Voltage: tried both 2.0V en 2.1V
- FSB Termination Voltage: 1.3V (=max)
Other settings:
PCI-E Frequency: locked @ 100
PCI Clock Synchronization Mode: locked @ 33.33MHz
Spread Spectrum: Disabled
C1E Support: disabled
Max CPUID Value Limit: disabled
Vanderpool: disabled
CPU TM Function: Enabled
Execute Disable Bit: Enabled
With these settings, the system should be stable, no? Or am I doing something wrong? Memtest86 and Prime95 are perfectly stable at stock settings, and the temperatures don't get too high.
First I thought it would be my OCZ mem sticks, but with above settings they're running only at 333 Mhz, while the combination FSB 280 - mem 420Mhz (4:5) I tried before was stable!
Help!!
Try this:
PCI-E Frequency: 101Mhz if you got problems try 110Mhz ;)
Mine is now at 8x400Mhz 101Mhz, but the other mobo with BIOS 506 need 110Mhz...
After flashing the BIOS all is alright.
8x400Mhz
Vcore: 1.4v in BIOS = 1.35v idle and 1.3v Load ;)
Run memtest on the ram, if it passes inc vcore a bit.
Heh so I finally found out what the prob was: I flashed my P5B tot the latest bios (0806) and suddenly those exact same settings bring me to 8x333 Mhz rock stable! Didn't even try upping it to higher FSB speeds but I'll try that later.Quote:

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I reinstalled my CPU (+cooler) a couple of times... and I should change the cooling paste?
Some advice please!

Some more details.. Screencap during max stress.
Yes try remounting ihs and putting new paste, those temps are way too hi for that voltage.
say guys just asking me is there a oc tool for in windows now ?
becaus i have got me a new one ariving here tomorrow ;)
ClockGen 1.0.5.0 has support for P5B deluxe, but not for P5B green.
1.0.5.0 10/03/2006 Added ATI RD600 memory PLL control.
Added Cypress CY28551 (Asus P5B Deluxe) PLL.
Added Winbond W83195-BG101 (Asrock Conroe XFire-eSATA2) PLL.
I don't thing any other tool has support for P5B, really a shame :(
There is no clockgen or clockgen equivalent for P5B Vanilla. Hopefully someone can help us out soon tho. :)
The new bios build listed in the previous post(s) is excellent and is far better than the 0808 and is far more stable (especially at higher speeds)
Still stuck at 600 FSB with latest bios. Boards pi 1m stable @ 600, but won't boot at anything above that :(
my new one did 545fsb boot with only vcore and vdimm mode atm :p look good to me
Stuck at 600fsb? lol :stick:
idd , say whats the best bios atm ;)Quote:
