ok the big question is does the SB even need cooling?
I think the stock cooling is adequate. The problem would be if you want to WC the NB (or change any one of the three heatsinks). You would have to replace the upper left PWM HS and the SB HS. HR-05 SLI will most likely fit...I believe that was covered on the last page...Quote:

the stock cooling is not adequate in my eyes.Quote:

my only bet seems to be the EnzoTech CNB-S1L One-Piece Forged Copper Southbridge Cooler. Thank you for answering the question about the Evercool VC-RE VGA/Chipset Cooler.
Somewhat unrelated to overclocking, but the onboard audio chops like crazy for me...and my mouse slows down when this happens...I went googling and it seems like the P5B had pretty awful onboard sound support too. Oh well, good thing I was planning on installing my SB Live but still I can hardly believe the sound is this choppy (already ran through a bunch of possible settings and drivers and whatnot...happens pretty much no matter what lol).
Tekdemon - I had heard about that too but my on board sound is awesome so far. I had thrown my Audigy in there and it sounded like a piece of crap compared to the on board, even through a power amp. I would keep exploring how to fix the on board.
What did you change in the bios yet? Did you test it out at stock settings? Maybe some other device or driver causing conflict? I ask partly because I want to keep it working.
My overclock. I will stress it over night. vcore 1.55v vdimm 2.25v Nb 1.5v. These same setts with same vcore would run 43c under full load with my last 4 motherbaords but on the p5k the temp sky rockets to 65c cant figure that out. water cooled chilled to 12c.
@ Safan80
The enzotech CNB-S1L looks like it will fit.
There's also one by Alpha that's even lower.

Eva2000 thanks sooo much for this thread, it has helped me oc my chip in record time. :bows:
You mentioned that you dont know what the reference settings are for but I noticed you've been playing around with CPU PLL. Did it make a difference with your overclocks? Has made none to mine so far.
I previously had a Gigabyte DS4 and could never get my chip truly stable @ 3600, couldn't even boot at 400*8 with a 4:5 divider. With this board I've stabilized my oc with these settings in no time! Awesome board!!:up: Only downside is that my temps are 5c higher than DS4 but thats a small price to pay. And alas no more :shoot: COLD BOOT issues. DS4 owners... go get this board.
have You any problems with 2gb sticks on p5kdlx? my friend bring me to test 4x2gb sticks ocz 6400 5-6-6-18 and even one in anyone slot no go :|. pc don't start. bios 0311. sticks on striker extreme works fine.
Hey I am having an issue with my Asus P5K Deluxe. I installed everything and it worked right at startup. I installed Vista Ultimate and a couple of other programs and played around for about 4 hours before I decided to flash the bios. I choose to use the asus updater that came on the provided disk and I choose the update from bios file on the pc option. Unfortunatly the program gave me an error stating that the epprom didn't complete flashing or something during the flashing process I was trying to install a firmware update to one of my optical drives and it gave me the blue screen of death. Now my computer will only power up for about 8 sec with all the indicator lights flashing before it shuts off again. I have tried clearing the cmos but that has had no effect that I could determine is there anything I can do?
You were flashing the firmware on one of your optical drives at the same time as flashing the bios??? :shocked:Quote:

I thought I killed mine last weekend...tore it down and was gonna return it. Decided to pull the battery and clear cmos and let it set for about 4 hours. Built it back up and voila! She's now back to life....worth a shot. Unplug, pull the battery and move the jumper. Let her set for as long as you can stand it. If that don't work then RMA...Quote:

I dunno. I'm running 515Mhz FSB on mine with only 1.4v NB and stock SB and the NB and the rest of the heatpipe assembly don't hardly get more than warm. I don't even have direct cooling on the NB sink at the moment since I took out that extra 120mm fan I had mounted above my video card. Right now I just have a rear 120mm exhaust and two 120mm fans blowing down over the motherboard. My NB temp right now running small fft's is only 28C. Jumps up to low to mid 30's on large fft's.Quote:

That's good to hear, I haven't gone that high fsb yet or rigged any loose fans around in there. I do intend to do that with one 40mm two 120s and an 80mm nmb fan that blows like a devil. I am having a lot of fun with this board.Quote:

You can probably do 4-4-4-12 at DDR800 no problem with 4 sticks. I know these Tracers don't like 4-4-4-12 too well at the speeds I've been running them over 1000Mhz. I've got all four at 1030Mhz 5-5-5-15-6-30-6-6-6 1:1 at the moment with 2.2v. I might be able to get 4-4-4 with 2.35-2.4v at this speed. Not really worth it though.Quote:

Pretty much spot on...I'm running my Geils 2.4v 4-4-4-12 @ ddr1000...I paid top dollar for these things several months ago and they are rated at 2.4~2.45. They are actively cooled...I'll be damned if I run em' slower than rated ;) They die, they get replaced under lifetime warranty...Quote:

Thanks for the previous reply Eva.
I can post w/ 1t cmd rate w/ 1:1 @ ddr 667 w/ 2x 1066 and 2x 1000 Crucail ballistix but its not stable and fails memtest rightaway, this was w/ pretty lose 5 5 5 15 timings @ 2.2V w/ the 0311 bios so w/out alot more volts or maybe even loser timings I doubt it will fly. this same memory works fine a 4 4 4 12 w/ 2.2V at DDR 1000 on the 2:3 raito.
I see that the 2T command curse on the P965 has been cured, that's very good news indeed.
When i raise the PCI-e MHZ the SATA drives are gone, anyway to get 125mhz on pci-e like the 680i????
Which ethernet port are you guys using? I assume it's better to use the Marvell since that one is listed as "PCI-e", and the other is just "PCI", but I haven't seen anything that tells you which one is the Marvell.
I got all the parts in now, I'll start cracking on it tomorrow morning. I've already noticed one thing I miss having, a power switch on the mobo, that sure made testing my current system a lot easier.
Why do you "want" to get there? Generally I've only used PCI-e frequency increases to get things back in whack, not for performance gains in gfx...I never saw any increase in benchmarks when running beyond 100mhz on my Evga or IN9 32X-MAX boards...Quote:

Q6600 @7x490FSB 1:1
OCZ PC2-9200 FlexXLC @490Mhz 4-4-4-9
Now I'm truly getting the hang of tweaking Asus P5K Deluxe with OCZ PC2-9200 FlexXLC memory. Below is probably one of the fastest single 32M runs at 1:1 for 7x490FSB 4-4-4-9 settings.
Note, Kentsfield B3 stepping cpus are clock for clock slower in single instance Super Pi benchmarks compared with Core 2 Duo dual core B2 stepping cpus.
Also, 0311 Official bios increased my Q6600 Kentsfield cpu's max FSB from 485FSB to 490FSB without needing to raise CPU PLL volts from 1.5v to 1.6v as I needed on 0307 beta bios. With 0311 official bios and my Q6600 I've managed to sometimes boot into memtest @7x500FSB but on exiting bios, it doesn't boot up and needs power reset to get back into bios. So still working at it but already an improvement over 0307 beta bios :)

Ran a pass of memtest and Priming blend now.
I'm getting insane CPU temps on this, I've remounted three times and still idling around 50-54C and loading in the low 70's. I have a scythe with 2x yate loon fans on it and it was cooling the chip awesome on my old setup. WTF is going on, I can't get past 3.6ghz because of the heat. Voltage is only 1.45v.
what are you using to read and compare temps on new and old setups? and what was the old setup ?
2x1GB OCZ PC2-9200 FlexXLC
CAS4 Performance
It seems testing OCZ PC2-9200 FlexXLC's CAS4 performance on Asus P5K Deluxe is about the same as on Asus P5B Deluxe, hitting a ceiling around 540Mhz 4-4-4x at 2.45v. But, the difference is that on Asus P5B Deluxe, it required very loose sub timings. On Asus P5K Deluxe it was totally different, I could run very very tight sub timings @540Mhz 4-4-4-9 2-25-2-2-8 at 2.45v and it really showed in the Everest Ultimate reported bandwidth and latency and also in single Super Pi 32M time for a quad core, Q6600 B3 cpu.

ooh thanks for the heads up :D
I hope whenI pick up my Q6600 in July, that I will be able to hit these clock speeds. 3.6 is very impressive.
8 Gig Mushkin 6400 (4-3-3 stuff) @ 475 FSB 1:1, 5-4-4-8, sub timings all auto.

Won't boot with CAS 4 no matter what I do. But hey, it's 8 gig of RAM, you can't have everything. Transaction boost helped. May get brave and up the volts a little to try for CAS 4 but I really don't see the point right now since I only care about what is stable, not benching for the sake of it.

Not bad for an old Q6600 B3 ES that couldn't get more than 400-425FSB on Asus P5B Deluxe, limited at 350FSB on Asus 680i Striker, limited at 345FSB on Intel D975X Bad Axe 1, and 350FSB on DFI ICFX3200 at 9x and 400FSB at 7x or 8x.
Good stuff...:up: Both times I tried enabling transaction boost and went for +1 my machine hard locked and required cmos clear. Disabling is interesting and results in slacker latencies. Haven't had a chance to see how high I could go looser cuz I ran a few tests then wanted to see what would happen going the other way. Hardlock. No boot. Time for bed :) This is on my P5K by the way. I'll have to spend some quality time with the deluxe when I get back from vacation...Quote:

it works just fine for me.Quote:

Did some testing on my max fsb using an x6800 cpu. On stock NB volts 500fsb max. 1.5v to north bridge gave me 320fsb. 1.7V gave me 330fsb. Than i put an mcw20-k water block on it with 10c chilled cooled....1.7v gave me 340 max fsb. Guess it needs more volts to scale any higher.:shrug:
i take it you mean 520, 530, 540??
how about vfsb?
anyone have any luck on raising the pci-e frequency without the sata drives disapearing???
Yes sorry 500,520,530,540. vfsb set to 1.4v. Pic of my rig. Sorry but my cam sucks.Quote:

I'm sure you've had enough problems, but my research and experience on the p35, and p5k specifically, begs to differ. Sorry the system didn't work out for you. I'm now rocking away on Vista 64-bit OS too, and it's pretty nice w/ this board.

I dont know why had such bad luck with this board, i think its got to do something with my ram, not sure tho.Quote:

Bad checksum error twice because I was too light on the vcore, but reset jumper for like 1 minute, reflash and it's golden.Quote:

well it helped me boot into windows at borderline max FSB for quad core... if it was at AUTO on loading windows = blank screen hehQuote:

Thanks to Asus P5K Deluxe, my Q6600 B3 ES is in the running for this 32M low clock challenge...

I can't wait to pluck in my X6800 B2, knowing that core 2 duo B2 stepping cpus are clock for clock faster than B3 quad core cpus in Super Pi :D
Pushing Gautam down the ranks was very close @3311Mhz only needed 0.423s faster time hehe

My first post for the P5K-Deluxe here :D
I just bought this mobo yesturday but still waiting for the Ballistix 8500 arrival tomorrow hopefully.
I've read through the 24 pages in this thread thoroughly and I've a few questions for EVA2000 and a couple others:
1. I noticed that you didn't set the DRAM Static Read Control to Dissable like in your previous reviews but to AUTO instead, any benefit of setting it to AUTO over dissable?
2. As another guy who has mentioned, we noticed that you DIDN'T set the Transaction Booster to Enable and +1 but instead just leave it at AUTO. Is it becouse when you set it to Enable and +1 at such speed, the system will not BOOT or becomes unstable? Could this be a corresponding setting when you set the Dram Static Read Control to AUTO?
3. Regarding Asus Update Utility - Despite a # of people who has failed flashing the BIOS successfully for previous ASUS mobo, ie. P5B-Dlx, P5N-E, etc. using the Asus Update Utility, I personally DID NOT have any failure flashing history with Asus Update Utility with ALL Asus mobo I had. Take P5B-Dlx for example, when I got the board it was 0306 BIOS, an early bios, I used the NEWEST version of Asus Update Utility on my VISTA ULTIMATE 32BIT to flash the bios ONE BY ONE from 0306 to 1102 so that's a total # of 9 success BIOS flash. Of course I had to do the CMOS clear procedure everytime and make sure absolutely NO ANY OTHER PROGRAMS running in the background. So now I'd like to confirm if flashing the BIOS using Asus Update Utility on the P5K-Dlx is ok. About 10 pages back, a couple P5K-Dlx owners reported that they had no prob using Asus Update Utility. If you've personally tried the utility with success, please report back to me.
Lastly, Thanks EVA2000 for another AWSOME work on the FSB Strap topic. I thought the new P5K-D already resolved this issue as it's quite a major complain in the P965 generation. Apparently you get lower memory bandwidth at over 500fsb...I wonder how high you'd have to reach over 500fsb to be able to acheive the same or more MB than at 499.??!
Static read auto = better bandwidth when transaction booster auto as well ;)
I only used bios ez flash 2 on this board no probs from 0123 to 0304 beta to 0307 beta to 0311 official
I love this P5K Deluxe http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=147599

Wicked thread... all credit to you guys, esp eva :up: ... can't wait to get my P5K-D!:up:Quote:

Great to see some guys running these Q6600's on air with good success... that's my goal.
Asus probe mobo temps must be whacked. I turned on orthos blend and left for an hour. When I came back the alarm was going off and mobo temp read 191 C !!!! I did a restart and was in BIOS in less than 20 seconds. BIOS read 35 C. I was back in Windows in about 45 sconds and it now read 35 C. Something is whacked with that reading. Or was it actually 191 C ? I highly doubt it. I have a 110 CFM fan pointed right at the board.
Well my Q6600 is on water cooling not air ;)Quote:

what cpu ? what bios and version of asus pc probe2 ??Quote:

It's very well software version / P5K-Dlx related or software version / OS related.
Take Intel TAT for example, I had the same version of that running on all other mobos except DFI Infinity P965-S becouse Intel TAT doesn't have an update or at least a working version to address to that mobo.
For anyone who has Asus Probe installed: Do you get the Asus At Service bug at startup and running in the background??
I personally had experienced this along with many others with Asus mobos, and it's directly related to Asus Probe if you had it installed. It doesn't matter if close the program or dissable it, the aacentre/ACPI service is still running. I finally gave up and uninstall it for good. However, I also need it to read temp, esp on the NB. For rest other readings, I can use a combination of Coretemp0.95/Speedfan newest version/perhaps the Asus AI suite as well for mem vol reading.
Could asus probe throttle your cpu:confused: ? Having throttling problems and want to know every available option to make sure its turned off in BIos and windows any help?:shrug: Heres whats been happening, been running quadprime stable for 2hours at 3.65ghz 1.55v at around 80C (hot i know) then jumping into 3dmark and having terrible 20fps. If i do quadprime stock and jump into 3dmark 64fps, soo obviously i'm being throttled but cpuz shows the correct speed.. Could my 8800gts be doing the throttling, it has mild overclock from the factory (Foxconn).?
