I'm not sure changing any of the voltages will solve it, i've tried increasing them with no sucess so I'm starting to think it's a compatibility or bios issue or both, at first I thought memory but it's passing every test i'm throwing at plus I've run it at much higher speeds in my previous mobo with no issues.Quote:

Not as easily as 475x8. Got most of the answer from JonnyFTM sig but interested to know if he using transaction booster and what PLL ,fsb,nb settings. I am also trying to keep the volts down as I am on air.Quote:

The bios settings are exactly the screens you see in my signature. Click the link, there are tons of photos with the bios screens
All is explained in that post: Static read control is enabled to boost memory, Transaction booster can't be enabled with that OC on my RAM, it is disabled with relax 0. Relax 3 looses much performance on RAM (see the table in my post)
vPLL is miimu at 1.50v (you have to try, really depends on CPUs, 1.70 is deadly and useless)
vNB is 1.40 and vFSV only 1.30
I think it is a luck issue too. Like CPUs, some boards overclock better than others and my cooling helps much (you see I removed all stock cooling and replaced with advanced coolers) and I'm water
I'm definitely going to check some of your settings out tonight. I really, really want to squeeze 4ghz out of this set up.
4GHz will be only a CPU issue if you go with 9x445 as the board easily scale FSB with a quadcore. You'll need so much vcore for 4GHz as I see you're already at +1.5vcore for 3.8GHz. I think someone needs a really good chip or phaseQuote:

This board, cpu and ram are going DICE/LN2 just for practice/experience so I'm already at the point where if it fries, I won't lose any sleep lol.Quote:

Thanks - similar to the setting I use. .I suspect I have jsut reached the limit of my CPU with the volts I am prepared to go to. My version of the MB has mixed blue/red capacitors which may be reduce my overclockabiliy slightly. . Not convinced over benefits of replacing the stock HS on this MB with seperate NB and Mofsets coolers but they certainly look good - lol!.Quote:

Try to reach the OC you look for. If you can reach it with current bios, no need to update. If you have trouble to be stable where you like, you can update bios to 0404 and if still not, to 0504Quote:

I currently have a 150GB Raptor that I've had no problem running on the ICH9R controller using AHCI. Boot/OS Drive.
I recently tried to upgrade to the Samsung F1 as my new Boot/OS Drive. I have read the posts and threads about people having issues with using certain drives and I believe the Samsung was one of them.
Using a slipstreamed WINXP CD with the latest Intel AHCI Drivers version 7.8.0.1012:
This would always fail during the file copy of WINXP. It would get stuck on certain file copies for long periods of time and eventually give an error stating it was unable to copy the file. Every time I tried to reinstall it would get stuck on a different file.
F6 - with install of version 7.5.0.1017 from ASUSs' web site using a floppy:
This would copy all the files although it seemed really slow. Eventually after selecting the region and during the install it would bluescreen.
I eventually gave up and tried to run Samsung's HUTIL which found the ECC Error, although reading on the newegg forums it appears to be a problem with HUTIL and not the drive.
Has anyone successfully run the SAMSUNG F1 hard drives in AHCI or RAID yet? I know another poster in this thread was successful in running a non-F1 Samsung successfully using the latest BIOS and 7.5.0.1017 drivers.
I like the reviews and specs on this drive but wonder if it's a problem with the drive or our motherboards (P5K-Premium). Dont have another MB or another Samsung F1 to test.
My Specs:
8400@4050
ASUS P5K-Premium BIOS v504
Kingston 4x1GB 8500 HyperX
Western Digital 150GB Raptor
yeah man that would be a great comparison if we were doing the same test.Quote:

Think I'm lucky with that board
Hi everyone,
I have the p5K premium with 2gb of crucial ballistik memory and a Q6600 G0. Has anyone experienced an issue where the machine will literally slow to a crawl during a reboot? The Ai flash screen is horribly slow and the screen repaints over and over. Once you enter the bios, a click of the arrow key results in a 1 - 2 second delay until the screen reacts. I have had this happen on 2 of these boards. One had crucial memory and the other has ocz. I tried manually configuring the memory speed and voltage, removing memory, disabling most features, etc. Nothing seems to resolve this. Both machines have an ocz 700W game extreme power supply so I plan on trying another PS tonight. Just thought I would put this here for opinions. I had a thread on it in the main area for a while, but never got anywhere with resolving it. Eventually, the bios checksum showed as bad so I rma'd that board. I got it back this week and suddenly, this board is doing the slow boot again.
I am calling ASUS today but am totally stumped on this one.
not sure but it could be something to do with you video card bios
Rich
Try another PSU and if your problem persists that can be ruled out and we can put our heads together and figure it out. Since this is the second board with the same problem, take the board out of the equation as well.
Try plugging your hdd(s) into a different slot. Also, if you have an IDE optical drive installed, remove it and test as well.
OK. Update. I called ASUS and they mentioned a problem with Antec PS and another brand I cannot remember. However, they had not seen this issue with OCZ. I got home and tried another power supply. I tried different memory. I tried one stick, two sticks, bank a, bank B. Same issue. I tried removing power to all devices except the MB, PSU, vid card, and main HD. Same issue.
I just got the board back from rma and it has 0204 bios on it. Should I try updating that?
Gotta run to take the dog to training. Be back later with more to try.
BTW. This is a 600W ps in this system. I have a new in box ocx 700w I can try tonight too. I'm stumped.
Upgrade to 0404/0504 were mainly in the hope of fixing the ICH9R/SATAII problem with AHCI/RAID. I didnt have the problem and upgraded in the hope of a higher overclock. Didnt see much difference between the BIOS's apart from some additional voltages/strap settings. I am sure others may offer a different view but I would stay on 0204 until you get to the bottom of this problem. What hard drives are u running IDE or sata or both. ? whats your full spec. Have u run any of the compnents on another MB before building this one?Quote:

Thanks guys. Just back.
The drives are all sata. No ide components at all. 2hds and 2 dvd. right now, I am only using one drive and no dvd. I have swapped out the memory with another pc. I'll try another vid card too. I am also going to play around with different sata ports.
Right now, the main drive is a WD 500GB(Rebadged Seagate). i had to get it when I orignally built the system(Around p5k prem release date) because of the issues with my original samsung drive.
After all this, I finally removed the usb KVM switch from the picture and whamo. It worked. I can't believe a 2 port kvm caused that big of an issue, but it did. I have all components back in the box and its up and working.
Thanks for all the help. Sorry I did not think of that earlier. I had the Keyboard, mouse, and monitor shared with a laptop docking station. So much for that.

The strap 400 was also added with some memory dividers (but hey, hard to get it to work)
True - I didnt bother mentioning all the details as he has a q6600 which will work fine with 0204 without attempting an upgrade before the source of the problem is identified. The Sherlock Holmes approach - process of elimination without introducing anything new.Quote:

At any rate, I got it working and appreciate the help. THe machine was stable all night and is working fine today. The KVM is in the closet. :)

Know what you mean - it was a lot more fun with the DFI MBs and the opterons. You could always keep tinkering around in the BIOS and playing with all the memory settings to get it a little higher and faster.. Relatively Its a lot easier to o/c with the Conroes on an Intel MB with no real knowledge required.Quote:

Give it a go- you only need a minimum of 2 drives the same for RAID 0/1 - more for RAID5 and more still for RAID10. Use the guide to get the recommended RAID sizes. It a lot of fun when you see the graphs.Quote:

As you will have to do a operating system reinstall download the the latest ICH9R raid driver for F6 (winxp) or vista load and the latest intel MAtrix storage manager.Quote:

Once setup remember to enable write back cache in the Matrix storage manager - thats where the burst speed comes in. Under storage manager you select advanced view and right click on the raid volume name which will give you the options.
I setup my RAid 0 with 80GB on 2 x 320GB disks so thats 40GB on each with theremaining as RAID 1. reading the thread it would appear that thinner slicing of RAID0 over more disks gives phenomenal R/W performance with the additional benefit of full resilence for all the data in RAID1/5/10. Acronis True Image 11 seems to be the software to backup the operating system with http://www.acronis.com/homecomputing...cts/trueimage/.

So if I were upgrading my bios this weekend, which one would you guys suggest? I have heard some rumblings on each.
stick with th 0204....unless you have glaring problems, bios updates should be last resort.
Agree - but on the other hand GITCH see how you get on with o/c on 0204. If you do decide to go and update for the supposed memory compatibility improvement I would recommend 0404. It works nicely for me with a q6600 an 4x1GB ballistix. Bios 0504 got some bad press and is hard to regress from although plenty are using it okay. I just dont want to have to try a regression as it based on using ASUSUPDATE if I dont like it. I have managed to kill one MB with a failed flash using that nasty piece of software. Use Ezflash and usb stick when flashing bios - set all settings to optimum.Quote:

So the general consensus with this board is to enable DRAM Static Read Control for better performance? I've left the Transaction Booster on auto. The one time I tried tweaking it my board wouldn't post.
That matrix RAID stuff is sick. I read about it awhile ago briefly, and it sounded complicated to setup vs. traditional RAID. But now that I've done more research it seems fairly simple. Just wish I could implement it without doing a complete reinstall.
Hello,

Corsair HX620W PSU.

They are very close to the last column of my table. The memory Read performance is a bit better in your case, but with 25MHz better clocks on the quadcore it could help, as the difference is small.

It's a real debate. In most tests, low multi/high FSB has in fact no real world application improvement over high multi/lowFSB. The memory latency does have, though, depending on applications.Quote:

I'm lucky I can push the FSB without extra heat (9x425 and 8x475 give me same temperatures on the CPU and system) nor extra voltage. Maybe having active cooling on the NB and RAM helps, so I go for the 475 FSB
ahh mine is completely passive except for the cpu loop, probably holding me back big time.
EDIT: Looks like CPU is a goner..nevermind..
One thing is buggng after upgrading to this motherboard is my 8800GTX makes a constant buzz and the pitch increases when I play games, very irritating. :(
it's the card problem...not the motherboard. My card does the same thing and from what I've seen it's not rare. My 2 3870's never did it, nor did my old 8800GTS 640. I think it's a loose coil that vibrates when it gets hot.
Interesting, but why do I hear only after installing this motherboard? did it loosen during install ?? :shrug:Quote:

So after 10 days sitting with no gaming rig I get a box with the board wrapped in an anti static bag with nothing else, no word as to what they did to it or if they even did anything at all so I call Asus and the guy tells me "you had a bad bios flash, so they reflashed the bios" umm WTF!!?!?!??!!!??! 10 days for you to reflash the bios when I wasnt having any bios issues??? The board still has SATA issues, no other HD's but Seagates will work with it and the buzz is still is there, OUTSTANDING !!! Asus.
Yep, just above the PCIE slot, only thing which comes to mind is the Asus slot selector, but i've tried installing it a few times now and manual suggests the cards not installed currectly yet I can run games fine.Quote:

I seem to get better benchmarks in everest with my ram as my fsb is higher but is dropping the multi not causing the cpu to run slower !!!

bench it both ways and see which gives you a better score

Red light means that the card in that slot is not properly seated. Take another look at the card and make sure its all the way in the slot. This happened to me before with a 8800GTS, didn't affect anything, but sure enough it wasn't seated properly.Quote:

Hi Guys!
I orderd a e8400 the other day. Anybody experienced any issues with P5k Premium and 45nm cpu:s?
I´ve heard that the latest bios (504) should work fine, am I right?
Mine had the 302 BIOS and would not fire up with a 45nm CPU
had to put an older E6420 in and flash it to 504 for the E8400 to be recognised
P5k Premium
E8400

Yes, I heard thats a problem. Experienced any other issuses since you migrated to 504 and 8400?
had 3 asus boards last one was P5B Delux and that one was flakey and unstable no matter what i did at 400FSB this on the
P5K Premium seems buletproof and just accepts whatever setting i put in and it boots up
extremly impressed
this has been a very solid board from day one guess i'll try 0504 when i get a e8400 dont want to push my luck
