Well, if the heatsink isn't even warm, it just might have bad contact with the processor.

Yes, I have a mild overclock, currently running my E6400 at 3,0GHz. Close to the stock voltage though.

so how many of you are using EIST?

i'm a little perplexed about it: to enable it, I had to disable the manual multi in BIOS, and then enable the Intel EIST thingy into Automatic.....and then once in windows I put the Power setting in "Minimal Power conservation" mode.

I see perhaps a 1-2C decrease when it idles and it goes down to 2.8 (x6 multi) from 3.3... But my question is, the Vcore is still set as hard coded 1.35volts.

I ran orthos and all seems well and stable (immediately jumps back to x7 and runs fine) and same with SuperPi.......but I just dont get how people are getting 4C lower when idle if Vcore is constant. :confused:

any EIST gurus out there?

anyway I can fix it ? Intel wont rma this cpu until its dead :slapass: ,, could it be a bad motherboard sensor?

Remount your cooler, lap your IHS.

405 fsb why would you rma?

well, in my case, I'll RMA my P5B D
after some tries with Tyrou on sunday with nvidia card :D
but, I won't change my gc so Asus MUST do something about my little peg problem :mad:
my last Asus mb :rolleyes:

Hmm its a pretty easy fix, just reset cmos, or what i do is pull plug on PSU for about 30seconds, the board will do the double reset and be back at 16x without losing bios settings. Dont think you needed to rma.

Max fsb cpu or board :D. Same settings/hsf only change is cpu.

1st one does 3800 dual 32m but max fsb is 7x512 1M (6x is same) and 7x510 dual 32M:

2nd E6600 does 6 and 7x550 1M max and at least 540 dual 32M:

To Reset The P5B Bios.....

For those of you with the no POST problem try this.....

Turn off the PSU then unplug the PSU.

Remove PSU Connectors from MB, remove CMOS battery, move CLRT jumper from pins 1-2 to 2-3.

LEAVE IT THIS WAY ABOUT 1 HOUR. This will give the caps plenty of time to drain.

Place CLRT jumper back to pins 1-2, replace battery, replace PSU connectors to MB, plug PSU back up, turn on.

I've had several problems lately with 711 and 801 not POSTing after certain BIOS settings and it took this to get the CMOS cleared.

Man i knew it was you. I sent you a pm.

EIST defeats the pupose of overclocking - because it underclocks whatever clock speed you have, so instead of enabling eist, just leave all your settings to stock, thatway you dont stress your system that much

Thanks everyone for the info on installing my SATA Burner.

I do have one JMicron question though... are people using the drivers off the Asus CD or the Asus FTP to make their 'F6' Disk?

Any time
:cool:
I didnt like the Vcore drop in windows and reflashed 0711

I already have crazy vdrop with the 0711. Hopefully 0801 wont be any worse.

The F6 disk for Jmicron is only necessary when you run Raid ON UR JMICRON.

I have a Sata dvd burner.

I have installed the raid tool (u can download it from asus), but i think it isnt necessary.

-Why are u people trying 0801, it isnt officialy released? You can't even download it from asus itself.

Anyway, i have also EIST problem.

I'll quote it from other thread.

PLZ TEST THIS

When i run, Orthos or Prime95, superpi (any other stress programme), the multiplier lowers to 6x (E6300 = 7x).

Therefore, i get a score of 19sec @1M.

I have turned EIST of. Even if i set the ratio maunally to 7x it still lowers to 6x .

I am sure that there are more ppl who havent discovered this.

I am having also this problem:
Try this out byurselve,
open cpuz and crystal cpuid.
Select cpu1/2, see multipliers at both, they must be the same, refresh (f5)the screen (of crystal), then I (you) see that the multiplier drops.
Now select core 2/2. REfresh (f5), now i see that the multiplier keeps 7x.

Weird:slobber: ,
thus, core1 is @idle mode 6x and core 2 7x?

Now do this again with orthos (or any other stress), then u shall see that multiplier drops (to 6x) .

edit:
I suppose we all turned EISt off,
i have too, but i still see in CPUID that it is active ( check with everest or crystal).

Vich= 1.057V
Vdimm=2.15

I hope this is a bit usefull.

Notice, when i start orthos (or other stress prog) the multiplier drops,
EIST is working the opposite way

I found the issue. It was not KB920872.

It was KB890859. If you search for "KB890859 bsod" you get a ton of results.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/898114/

Microsoft says:
"This Stop error is more likely to occur in the following types of computers:
• On a computer that is stressed
• On a computer that uses multiple processors or hyper-threading
• On a computer that mounts volumes frequently on removable media devices"

Now, the web page says that the issue is for Windows 2000 based systems. I don't think that includes XP in MS's eyes.

Anyone else ever have an issue with this one?
