I'm tempted too, but I'd like to see some p5b results also. I saw this link for
the asus board in the UK, so I assume it won't be long until it shows up on shelfs in the US.

i've got 4 celeron d's sitting here, one of which is the #2 in the cpu database (or was)
and performance wise. there isnt much of a difference from the stock to insanely high mhz.. they may clock well but performance still suffers in a horrible way becuase of how stripped the cpu is.
they are good for a toy to pressure a fsb with but also remember they are 533mhz fsb and the baords may not react well to that compared to a 1066fsb cpu...
my 2.16ghz celeron D cranks up to 4.2ghz .. does it make a difference ? not really.
vdroop ... i have this board. does thius consider vdroop??

btw i set to 1.5v in bios
Very interesting. I'm about to overnight one of these things from NewEgg - too bad my E6600 isn't here. I was going to get the P5B vanillar.
A couple questions:
1. First of all, All I'm hoping for is 3.6Ghz (400x9) out of my E6600 with an Ultra-120 and OCZ Plat EL PC6400 4.5.4.15. It seems if this board reached 485, it should do 400 very stable, right?
2. One reason, I like the P5B is it's got all that niftyBIOS flash/recovery crap. I mean saving/flashing your BIOS onto/from a thumbdrive? That's pretty friggin' cool. Does this board have those capabilities?
Am I gonna regret gettin' this board tonight-especially if the P5B magically appears on NewEgg tomorrow morning. Ugh, I'm just sick of waiting for all of this crap. The mobo and my pre-ordered E6600 are my last 2 components I need for this new box I've been piecing together the last 2 1/2 months.
I don't think you'll regret this board, not by the results people have been posting.... It should definitely do 400 stable, especially if u have good airflow. and i'm not sure about #2, sorry
I'm still a little confused. To get this 486 FSB rather than 360 FSB do I have to have the C2 step version of the board or does the F2 bios by itself do the trick?
looks like its the F2 BiosQuote:

lol cuz if he uses phase then i cant really expect OC that high even with a tower 120 ...
Yes i was in aircooling.
somebody ask me a cpu-z validation ? ok there it is :

holy CRAP, 487 on air?!?!?!?!??! MY DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE!!!!
Northbridgre was passive cooled , no gain with a fan on it :D
Slightly improved Spi 1M time with better timings :) :
Ram was 2X512 Corsair 5400 UL rev 1.2.
http://pageperso.aol.fr/misteroadster/16s6300.JPG
yeah holy crap lol, main i bought a good board
u have C1 revision and BIOS F2 right??
like this board:
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=105349
haha dnag i was gonna spend 30 bux on a fan. it is pretty hot when i touch it though
Yes. just look at my cpu-z link.Quote:

Well i mean even if the revision is different, they wouldn't lower the FSB, right?
I'm gonna buy this board right now if i know the one on newegg can hit 485
theteamaqua, where did you buy your mobo from?
did it come with f2 already on there?
thanks for sharing misteroadster
If they could guarantee 485 I'm sure they couldn't keep them in stock.;)Quote:

How much is the Gigabyte DQ6 going to cost? I just want a P965 board that will be good, is DS3 the one to buy or should I wait for the DQ6 release (and will it be alot more expensive, and will it be able to go higher than 485?)
In theory the DQ6 should be able of doing the same good 450+ fsb then......
What do you think?
Tempting...tempting.... :drool:
Ahhhh nice, now how well will the E6600 perform on these motherboards? Will it have higher FSB? Also, i'm pretty new to the whole FSB thing...can any of you explain it to me (and how the processors/motherboards differ?)
Sorry, just a first-time system builder here just trying to get the best bang for his buck :)
From what I have seen so far DQ6 doesn't high such high fsb, maybe waiting for right bios revision or not.Quote:
