I use 7/24 my e6750 at 3800mhz 1.47vcore and pencil mod , there is no unstability problem
idle : 1.472
load : 1.464
E6300 103% overclocked here and i can even boot at 3800Mhz. My ram setting is 5-5-5-15 and the sub timing is set on auto (2.35v). I'd like to get some help on the sub timing on the P5k-E wifi/ap and if possible get it stable at 3.8Ghz or more with yours help. Btw, who has the latest or what's the latest revision for this board. I'm using the latest bios; my overclock does not change from 0602 to the latest.. And how do i know if this is the max my cpu could do? I tested my ram at 600Mhz @ 3.5Ghz and it was stable so ram is not the problem here.
change bios to 0602.. less vdrop

I came to P5K-E/Wifi from P5WDH. In my opinion (and price wise), this motherboard is not in the same class. For sure, it overclocks a quad (3.6Ghz) better than P5WDH (3.1GHz). BUT - I've had 2 P5K-E/Wifi of my own, and been involved with 4 other systems based on P5K-E/Wifi, and the board has numerous issues. I just can't find a solid reasonable cost alternative at the moment.Quote:

The backplate is a pain is the ass - wrong alignment. Long graphics cards cover ICH9R ports 1 and 3. Lack of PS2 mouse sucks. Comes with almost no cables/accessories. JMicron and Norton Ghost hate each other - so you need to disable JMicron which means losing IDE and E-Sata. You get the idea...
But you might as well join the club, because I can't think of a better cost effective alternative for now...
First i could found, the source of Burning issues ( high PIE/POE ), with both burners IDE...
JMicron, is here the guilty.....lol:down:
Also i miss, the option of more than 1.7Vcore, like my old Abit NFS 2.0...
The Bios is solded in the Board ( i`m still waiting a RMA from Belgium ), otherwise, i could do a Bios reflash, with other Board....
Except that, for now i like it..........:up:
I totally agree with pee3, I can achieve great clocks that seem perfectly stable with this board... but then I'll have a random BSOD. Clocking lower doesn't seem to help. More voltage doesn't seem to help. Monitored temps are all reasonable... just to be sure I'm going to install new heatsinks all around on the board, but considering that I just paid over $80 for heatsinks, that brings the total for my board (w/ aftermarket heatsinks) to over $210.
I'm of the opinion that I shouldn't have to spend top dollar on a board and CPU to achieve high performance, which is, IMO, the whole point of overclocking. To those of the same opinion, I would look for a different board. I just wish I could suggest another board, but I can't. I was also looking at a P35 Abit board before I bought this one, but since I didn't give it a shot, I can't say how they would compare.
anyone else is having random freeze problem..
mouse and mobo turn off.. screen freezes and i have to push the restart button...
i am also having memory problem.. i can't oc over 1ghz with my super talent.. on abit it was easy to oc over 1 ghz without any problems
I did have my system at 3400MHZ, full stable, 24 hours, and, i think 5 days, always ON, since i use Torrents and Emule 24 hours...
No BSO or other kind of problems....:up:
Always on, since August......emuling....:rofl:
Can anyone help me with these problems?
My PC spec:
CPU: E6300 ES, Working perfectly under 400FSB, 1.2V in BIOS
MEM: G.Skill F2-6400PHU1-1GBHZ 1G x 2, Working perfectly under 400 MHz 4-4-4-12, 2.1V in BIOS
Video card: Colorful 8800GT 512MB (http://www.pcpop.com/doc/0/252/252043_5.shtml)
HDD: 2x ST3250410AS 250G in RAID 0, 1x Maxtor DiamondMax 10 250G
DVD: Asus DRW 1814BLT
PSU: Coolermaster Real Power M520 modular RS-520-ASAA-A1
Case: Coolermaster CM690 with 3 case fans installed
With 0307 and 0901BIOS
Something strange happens to my motherboard. Every time I turn my PC off (but with AC power ON connected) before I sleep, my PC will NOT post every first time (Power Led ON, HDD Led didn’t ON). I have to disconnect the AC power for some while and then connect it again to get it work with the “Overclock failed message”. I tried to set everything to default, especially in Jumper free section. Also tried to set FSB, DRAM timing, Voltages into default (266, 5-5-5-15) manually. Luckily, I solve the problem by disconnecting one of my Maxtor HDD. However, another problem came up. The motherboard didn’t allow me change the FSB (Voltages and dram timing are OK). Even I manually set my FSB to 400, saved it. It still showed 266 FSB in CPU-Z.
Yesterday I just flashed to 0602 BIOS which has a good reputation on the internet. Disconnect the power of all HDDs and DVD writer. Didn’t help, still can’t start at the first time unless disconnecting & reconnecting AC power.
My CPU and MEM work perfectly on my previous ASUS P5B-plus Vista Edition.
What else can I do to narrow down the problem? I got another Coolermaster PSU PCAR 430W, enough for 8800GT? Should I swap it and try?
what is the error messages you get on the BSOD ?Quote:

Hi all, anyone care to list the differences between the revisions of this board? I see it comes in 2 packagings now (black or blue box). thanks
Nice that must be the one I got.Quote:

I'm thinking of changing my DS3R (vdroop hell) to this. Do you think there's any chance i'd get better then 3600Mhz stable on this board?
Also, for the money, is there any other board which is better then the P5K-E for dual/quad overclocking? (P35 only).

Checked it :)
Why is the premium better? I've heard it's the same board minus one LAN port or something like that.
I'd go for the DFI but it's too expensive (almost 100EUR more expensive in my country). The new DFI P35 DK is out of stock everywhere here... (it's cheaper then the p5k-e wifi by about 10 euro :)).
some components are of better quality, but not that much, it has a different cooling solution and two LAN controllers, that should be it
blue box comes with official 45nm support
I got it :D
It's the blue box. P5k-e WiFi edition. Loving it so far. I've put the 0602 bios on it (came with 0502 i think).
Can finally get 1.57v REAL and STABLE. :up:
Currently Orthos'ing at 3722Mhz, stable for like 10mins. It used to error out with max voltage on my DS3R after like half a minute :clap:
If it doesn't error at this clock in half an hour or so i'm dropping the vcore, see how much it really needs. Anything above this speed and i get blue screen after starting Orthos and need to reboot.
Quite a big jump from my previous 3600mhz (8x450) stable at max 1.59v in bios (1.52v after load :mad:) :up:
I have some questions though. When i boot up there is a screen showing the Marvel lan controller and my IDE HDD, it's asking me to press any key to continue (goes away by itself after like 5-10secs or so). It's annoying and i dunno how to turn it off. Any idea?
Also, everest doesn't show my RAM vcore anymore. I may be paranoid but i need to check it. Bios doesn't show it also.
What is CPU Voltage reference? I left it at auto.
What is CPU PLL voltage and NB voltage reference? Left both at auto.
Also, the Asus tweaker utility does not work for some reason. Windoze throws an error when i try to start it. Asus AL Suite to be exact.
Here's the screen btw. Awesome mobo! :up: (I'm now at 15mins orthos, still no error :yepp: ).

I got 2 version of P5k-e wifi-ap boards :D just for fun...not that im planning to keep both of them :p
Rev.1.02G (have an extra power phase near the 4/8 pin power connector)
http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/258...6769qb4.th.jpg
Rev.1.01G (same as the above)
