I am not sure how these scores stack up against other P965 & E6600 combos :) keeping in mind I am using my old backup vga card.

is running the vNB @ 1.6 - 1.65 risky ?
Im getting no post at all, the pc is on but no post and no signal on the monitor after running all the tests and SP2004 for over 4 hours....
Check this thread:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...62#post1747362
I will appreciate any feedback.
It is if it runs too hot. On p5b, you should be able to run pretty high fsb without maxing out NB. I am running 1.65 under crunching load 24/7 for over 3 weeks, but room is cool and I have a fan blowing right at nb.Quote:

Now I'm testing for system stability with prime95
Which torture test do you guys use?
small ffts, in-place lare ffts or blend?
Thanks
From what I've read, blend seems to be the best option for Dual Core cpus. Having said that, if you are patient enough, run all three for 8 hours each.
Additionally, with dual core cpus you need to stress both cores, so you either need 2 instances of Prime95 running simultaneously or just use Orthos - this runs 2 instances of Prime95 from the same application.
To find the limits of your cpu, use small ffts as they fit in cache mem and aren't as dependent on ram/nb settings. When your satisfied, run large ffts to stabilize the rest.
The length of time is up to you as prime will stress your hardware far more than you are ever likely to. I have systems that failed prime after an hour or so that I chose not to "stabilize" by increasing voltage/temps and have been running both cores 100% loaded 24/7 for weeks producing double-checked crunching results without a single error. So, for me that's stable enough.
EDIT: fixed typos

I don't know how everyone is getting 1:1 ratio on memory. Got the p5b delux, corsair xms2 6400 c4 memory, setting in bios to manual, 4 4 4 12, but cpuid still says it's 2:3 ration...
yes...i had that problem too, and VGA helped. However, I also noticed that rebooting (pressing the hard reset) also did the trickQuote:

Disk drives
-WDC WD1500AHFD-00RAR1
-WDC WD1500AHFD-00RAR1
Under the device manager it also shows controllers as
IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
-Intel(R) ICH8R/DO/DH SATA AHCI Controller
-Primary IDE Channel
-Secondary IDE Channel
-Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller
Now my problem. Under My Computer it does not show or reflect that i have two Hard drives.
It only shows one hard drive as
(C: ) Local Disk 139GB
Why is it not showing my second hard drive, in the past usually after a fresh install it would show the secondary hard drive and if you go to open it it asked you to format then your good to go. Here i dont see anything to show my missing (D: ) Local Disk.
Can somebody please help me get this sorted out. Id like to start xfering my important files to my secondary Hard drive for storage.
Well im sitting comfortabley at 3510Mhz with my E6600 w/ 1.5125V Bios. Its not prime stable at this until like 3450's maybe a little less but passes benches and most importantly it can take my 3D Renderings very well without an issue.Quote:

Cut the power and started it again 10 minutes later, but still no go. System isn't continuesly restarting but starts but no boot, only fans keep turning. Took memory sticks out and tried it. Same problem; system starts but still no boot (even no beeps).
Gonna RMA this, but what is damaged??????
I've got noone where I can test for instance my mem or cpu.
Is 1:1 ratio supposed to be better? If so, in what way?Quote:

My patience has run out with this "Black screen" problem Ive done everything under the sun.Ill give it till the official bios is released and that is it!!!:slapass: Im going to Inflict some serious whoopass on this board.:explode2: pics will be included:D
The board started looking suspicious from the moment I pulled it from the ESD protective bag; first thing that caught my eye was the dislodged LGA socket cover.
The cover could have popped during the shipping, but the clips on the cover are actually broken. I doubt this could have happened during shipping.
http://www.helsinki.fi/~llounent/P5B..._LGA_cover.jpg
http://www.helsinki.fi/~llounent/P5B..._LGA_cover.jpg
Luckily, the pins are a-ok.
A glance over the board and my relief for the non damaged LGA turns into a slight worry:
http://www.helsinki.fi/~llounent/P5B..._SBHS_bits.jpg
http://www.helsinki.fi/~llounent/P5B..._SBHS_bits.jpg
The SB heatsink has a bent pin. No damage around the components and ICs surrounding SB, though. While checking the board for any other anomalies I found that someone had left a little present for me near the cpu socket.
A piece of scorched plastic dangling on a SMD chip. :rolleyes:
Flipping the board upside down revealed even more attrocities.
The PCB is covered with some grey goo. :wth:
http://www.helsinki.fi/~llounent/P5B...i_backside.jpg
http://www.helsinki.fi/~llounent/P5B...i_backside.jpg
OMG!! Who on earth did you buy it from?:nono: Send it back ASAP!!
Anyone figure this out yet? I just got my p5b last week, this happened stock with mine. I am overclocked now and still happens. When i cold boot it restarts 2x then boots up for real. Is it like rev'ing an engine or what. Actually it scares me and i might RMA since i am pretty sure its not a "feature" of the board. For a premium price this board has not impressed me yet. My conroe gets here this week and i will see if things get better.Quote:
Many users are experiencing a supposed problem in which cold booting or rebooting the system will trigger an immediate reboot after the initial one occurs. It is not known whether or not this is something that is user-generated or not, though some users have reported it occuring at stock, right out of the box. It is also not know whether this could be detrimental in any way to the user's system.
I received my P5B dlx a few days ago, no boot --> Black screen --> RMA
Tested with another cpu, vc, ram...
I bought Asus p5b Deluxe WiFi and I am not yet into it.
Could you tell if I should put a new BIOS and whick one?Or I should leave like it is?
Other stuff : Conroe E6300,2x512mb Crucail 667mhz(or 2x1024mb Kingmax 667mhz) , Seasonic 430w,Hitachi 250gb.
some help please...
what Bios you at? 507?
largon I found the grey goop on the back of all 3 of my p5b's :(
Can't remember if this happened to me at stock but has happened with all 3 of my mobo's as wellQuote:

Ah well. The bent pin seems to be a "feature".
But it doesn't bother me for the heatsink is coming off as soon as I get the board to post. Or a working replacement.
I've got something better for the ICH8R to hide under. :p:
the Beta's bios worth updating ? or i should stick to my 0614 ?
well i am also having issues with the 2 usb ports next to the audio jacks... they only seem to work some of the time. the other 2 work great. USB optical mouse doesnt even light up when connected to the top 2.Quote:

Little more testing...Quote:

how come my setup isnt stable when booted at 400FSB and 500MHz DDR2, but is stable when booted at 401FSB and 501MHZ DDR2.
at all my setup seems unstable at 400FSB (good to bench and prime long time): after a shutdwon or restart it doesnt POST.

:clap: ok guys this is the place for me to ask if you all can give me a push in the right diection for getting 445x9 or more...right now I am at 400X9 @ 1.45V in bios 100% stable...I have tried EVERY Vcore in bios to get to the 4ghz mark and just can't seem to get it...computer just restarts...here is what it looks like in my bios:
CPU Type: E6600

What suggestions would you have me do?
TIA!:toast: :banana:
Depending on how hard you're pushing the ram frequency, maybe relax your ram timing? Additionally also look at NB/SB/FSB term/ICH voltages?
I set my ram to like 5-6-6-16 at like 2.4V and raised all the voltages as high as you could go...Quote:

Well my e6400 is ordered and for the time being i am using my 805d in the Asus P5b-d wifi. One thing i have noticed is that i cant hard set my memory to ddr2-700 but if i leave it to auto then it works fine at 1:1 350mhz which is the same thing. can anyone explain this? happens in either slots 1 or 2 sticks. Timmings set at 3-4-4-10. Passed memx86 for about an hour with no probs on auto.

Thanks:toast:
have you tried to pull the battery and clear CMOS for about 5-10 minutes...to make sure the bios code is reset and all capacitors are cleansed of any static electricity...pull your ATX power plug from the board when you do this.
sounds like you got the same deal I got...check a page back or so...probably a burnt FET, which means RMA time! :o
sorry to hear...I was in your same exact shoes bud; should get the new board today
Yep!Quote:

Any pictures of the burnt " fet"?
What's that by the way:confused:
Any word from asus?
Bad batch??
no word from Asus...i've called and never heard back. there is an FET close to the wifi board. I looked at them and they visually seem ok, but you never know by just looking.Quote:

I wonder when either my 74Gb Raptor or 600W S-12 gives up ill send the bill to asus :rolleyes:
Only problem is, if you RMA a motherboard you will not normally receive a new board as replacement. You are going to get a refurb back from ASUS, which may be fine, or may have an issue that went undiagnosed. This is true of just about every computer-electronics component RMA.
So, you may or may not be "starting fresh".

I'm at 50C under no load, so I'm not liking that, so I think for everyday 24/7 use, I will drop down to just 3.0ghz, and drop the Vcore from 1.4875 to 1.475.

Check your temps during orthos. Coretemp has a log file you can look at as well to see what it was when you fail in the game.

My problem is that I feel my temperatures are way too high.... 50C/57C idle/load! :confused:
Mobo also shows 40-41C
is just that I live in Florida and my house is usually around 79F ambient, or perhaps I have a bad mount of the Heatsink? :(
Is this normal?
ps- I'm running Vcore at 1.400, and Vdimm at 2.25v.
Ive just ordered one of these ot replace my P5W64 which reported stupidly high cpu temps.
Hope its a good one :)
P5B Deluxe is great. But it shows hight temps too. My idle temp with core temp is 40-41c. And 50-55c @ load! So it seems the 965 chipsets or, c2d with it shows higher temps, or something. Because i thought with C2D being 65nm and so would be much cooler, but at these temps its much higher than amd cpu´s.Quote:

You can choose the program to clear cmos or not. But i recommend you do clear cmos when updating with Asus Updater. So yes then you need to set all settings again. But yes the asus updater works fine, you can use it with no worries. ;)Quote:

Hello there folk´s.
I´ve got a small problem, my Board (P5B Deluxe Wifi) was pretested @530 FSB an my Cellshocks are pretested @ 1200, but my damn E6400 only reaches 400MHz with 1,45V and over 50 degrees...to much i think ;) The CPU is an E6400 with the Stepping L628xx My Cooler is an Sonictower@5V FGLLE Papst. Is there anything i could tweak or mod?
alright...just to make sure I dont FUBAR' it, I update bios in windows with Asus update, then load optimized settings, reboot, goto BIOS, and re-enter my OC settings, and then start up again?Quote:

Go to bios and set your prefs
Those are the steps i always take and it works fine.
yes :)
but go in steps to that frequency just tu be shure ;)
Doing this in windows I assume, right? Perhaps I didn't look hard enough, but I dont remember the app having a default loadQuote:

At the same time, these chips act very weird.
You may only need 1.28 to get to 3150mhz, but to get to 3200 you might need 1.45, that extra 50mhz might not be that easy. I will find out for sure once i get home and try it myself.
I remember when I had my opty165, i could 2.95 at 1.45v all day long... but getting to 3.00 was a different story even at 1.6V, by then i just got scared, never got stable.
