Is there a utility available that will read the true speed that the pci-e bus is running at? ie not just what bios thinks it is.
SetFSB reads and can set PCie frequency..
Im been a litle OFF from the tread, but....
Wish, in your opinion, is the best Bios for Q6600 G0?
0603, or the newest one?:shrug:
Tks!
IMO...Unless your upgrading CPU...then leave it!...the only difference it could make is making your puter not boot lol...i've tried the latest and that's what happend to me...lucky i had a spare stick of Geil as had to mix the ram for it to boot...once i got it going i had a play for a bit found no difference o/c wise and then flashed back to get my mem back to normal.:eek:Quote:

They were different all 3 times.
I pop out the ballistix and put back in my trusty old corsair value ram (CVR), and guess what. Windows loads no problem. I got the newest memtest now, and am gonna test the ballistix. However, since the CVR has let me into windows, I'm not holding much hope out for the ballistix right now. :mad:
I recommend bios 1004 for a Q6600Quote:

Just got my board and everything worked fine right from the get go. My board has the 0806 BIOS; Should I update my bios to the latest one before I start to overclock?
I have 0906bios and all work fine @3600 1.35v:)Quote:

Any advice on what to change to put me in the ballpark of a 3.8?
The settings with arrows in front, I have no idea what they do, so I don't know if changing them (and change them to what?) would improve my stability.
I boot at 3.8, and can run P95 for about 5 minutes with my max. temps at 63C, and then I BSOD. ANy help would be much appreciated.
Do not leave voltages on auto if you're overclocking. What vcore do you need for 3.6Ghz prime stable?
Try these values:
I'm just guessing your vcore, if you know the value put that in BIOS and see if it's prime stable at 3.8Ghz. You also may want to try raising CPU GTL, these values have a great role in overclocking quads.Code:vCore 1.45v
vFSB 1.4v
vTT 1.6v
CPU GTL 0.59%
vNB 1.4v
NB GTL 0.61%
vSB 1.05v
Yeah, I skimmed this forum for a bit, and changed some settings as soon as I posted that message. I 've been stable for about 15 minutes priming at 3.8ghz.... NUTS!!!. As for the settings you gave me, I'll try those, and post what I'm using now IF I crash any time soon, but I'm deffinately going in the right dirrection. For 3.6ghz I use 1.45V:up:
Yeah, crashed after 20 minutes. So I went into bios, increased VCORE, and put PLL Voltage at 1.60 and crashed in like 4 minutes, so I went into the bios and LOWERED my volts (what do you think of everyday usage around this mark?) Here are my settings now, and I"m priming. what do you think?
EDIT: Multi is at 9x and FSB is at 423, so I'm pushing 3.807 ghz.
You should take in consideration vdrop/vdroop. Probably you have less in idle/load if you haven't done the pencil mod. Take a look in CPU-Z and you'll see. If it's stable at 3.8Ghz with 1.45v bios it's a pretty good chip. What batch?
If priming fails at 3.8Ghz@1.45v try playing with the other values. If raising them doesn't help, increase vcore a bit.
edit: Try vFSB 1.5v, vPLL 1.7v, CPU GTL 0.61%.
edit2: vcore is pretty high up there, raise it in small steps from 1.45v
FYI: BIOS 1004 and 1006 have almost no vdrop/vdroop, so no pencil mod nesasary if you use the newer bios's.Quote:

Yeah, Vdroop is unnecessary, you just enable Load Line Calibration and you're good.
Buddy, I'm using 1.45v for 3.6ghz.
I'm at 1.56V for 3.8ghz, and both these voltages are from the bios.
Now, I heard all over the web that V PLL should never be touched..... What does it do, exactly?
Depends which Bios your using on whether Line Load Calibration works properly or at all.Quote:

Anybody knows what it does, exactly? lol. I've spent an hour or so trying to dig it up on google.
OH, Right now, I tightened my 3.6ghz oc timings by quite a bit, and am priming. I'll give 3.8 another stab once I get home.
What is the max. voltage you guys would use on a 24/7 basis? I know it's a common question, but most of the time the answer is 1.4V, and considering that intel itself recommends between 1.2 and 1.5v, 1.4 is definitely safe.
I'm also using 1006, but my board is pencil modded and I can't say anything about vdrop.
I messed up values up there, sorry, try max for vFSB. Leave vPLL on 1.50v. I also know that increasing vPLL helps breaking FSB walls.
You could try playing with CPU GTL, I've read that it could help overclocking quads.
has anyone had better o/c results with Q6600 G0 on a newer bios than 0603?
also what ram/fsb rsults have you gotten with 400 strap to n/b which 0603 lacks i believe, correct me if im wrong.
also in regards to 1006 bios n/b voltage options is there 1.5v or still 1.55v?
currently on 0603 with no problems:

I think i need to RMA the board. Put a q6600 in the other day. Filled the loop back up. Used it for a few days. Now it wont post. HDD light comes on the case. Fans all turn on and spin. Light is on showing it gets power. Monitor never turns on. Tried different monitor with no luck. Tried 1 stick of RAM. Removed the battery and cleared CMOS. I need a new case speaker though. cant hear if there are any POST beeps. Everything is connected. Tomorrow i will try using my old 7900 to see if its video card. Any ideas or suggestions.
Also going to try my old wintec ram. Maybe try swapping back to my e6400.
Im using a xclio 600w psu.
I tryed an ATI 3870 X2 last night and could not get past the board logo screen, could not get into the bios or anything. i'm back on the 8800GT now. Has anyone experienced a 3870 X2 working on this board?
Did you uninstall all of the nvidia drivers before installing it.
No, but I was thinking that I would try that today. Should it matter that early in the boot process? I mean, I get the AI Lifestyle graphic before the screen goes black. I will get to that soon this morning and report back.
Thanks

check this out.
looks like the 3870x2 is having some issues
IF what BarboneNET pointed out is true for all these boards then we have a serious problem. Those max. voltages do not seem safe for 24/7 usage. Can anyone else with a volt-meter please test this.
you can test it by your self!!!Quote:

Right now I am in the process of RMAing my 1066MHz Crucial Ballistix and only have 1 stick of cheap 667MHz RAM, so I can't test it. Can anyone else confirm this please. I can't find any info on this problem on Google and it is really bugging me.
does anybody know what the VIN1 and VIn3 shows in hwmonitor? they change from 1.50 to 1.65 but ı don't what they mean....
I've tried vNB 1.25v, vFSB 1.2v and vPLL 1.5v at FSB 500 and also vNB 1.4v, vFSB 1.3 and vPLL 1.6 at the same FSB freq and everything was ok. My system booted fine.
Maybe this issue reported by BarboneNet has something to do with mobo rev.
how many revisions does this mobo have? Is there really a chance that asus engineers skipped such an important bug? ıt is hard to believe and mind confusing...
I don't know, mine it's 1.02G.
500mhz is your max FSB?Quote:

With my E6750 max FSB was 550, but all voltages were at the highest value.

It's not recomended leaving voltages on auto when overclocking, they might not be enough for a specific FSB or they could go very high witch might be more than enough for a certain FSB freq.

He is right about the over-volting. As soon as I changed those voltages from AUTO to the second lowest setting, it was reflected in VIN1 and VIN3 in Hardware Monitor. Thanks for the heads up buddy, I just got the E8400 and this motherboard last week, and I would not want to run such high voltages with a 45nm CPU.

Does someone have rev.1.00g of the board and know if there is a V bug for this rev. too?
All you guys worried about voltage... Good grief go join grandma's needle pointers and overclockers forums. They are Xtreme Quilters though.
My 8400 has not seen less than 1.488 since day one. The first time it fired up it was at 500 fsb and 1.6 in the bios. Which turned out to be the 1.488.
It can take it just fine!!! I have punished it for days on end at over 1.6 volts.
I have Xtreme Air cooling that keeps me under 50C no matter what I do.
My northbridge receives the same Xtre3me cooling as does my memory

It's great for me as a owner and I will probably ask some questions as soon as I'm done rebuilding my WC loop. I aim to get my Q6600 G0 to 3.7-3.8 24/7 stable with a dip into 4 GHz :)
I have been messing with the multiplier and higher fsb.
For alot of you who are being stopped in your tracks. Don't be blaming the board or your processor. There is a good chance it is those sticks of memory you plugged in there.
The best memory I have tried is my G.Skill 6400HZ!!
This was true on my P5W DH ,my P5E, P5N-e sli and now this P5KE wifi.
If you aren't using it you should really consider it.

I dont have the wifi version but this seems to be the best place to ask for help.
Im running a P4 at 3.8 (once I get past 255 fsb I get memory errors) till I get the cash for an E8400/O9450.
Regardless there are three things that I'm trying to fix;
I can only run 2 gb of my Dominator CM2X1024-8500C5D ver2.3 (07480442),
it will turn on with all 4 in but not post.
The ram defaults to DDR2-800, from what I understand this is common, but I can't set the memory higher, with out overclocking at least.
The third problem is, the vcore I set in the bios is about .1v off from what I read in windows, which is proving to be an issue because the voltage dosnt start moving up till I set it to ~1.45, so for example to run 1.4 vcore I have to set it to 1.5 in the bios, but once I reave 1.6 in the bios it jumps up to 1.6. I dont really know how to fix this, every program Ive used to check the volts gives me the same anwser.
Rig specs:
p4 3.0 @ 3.8
2 gigs of dominator 1066
8800GT 512mb
P5KE
Try newer bios.
Hi everyone,
first of all, I have to excuse for my english.
I got p5k-e wifi, E8200, 2x2GB G.Skill PC8000 - 5-5-5-15
I just want to share my results with you.
Now for 24/7, E8200 @4GHz @ 1.3V Bios, 1.28V idle, 1.27V load.
vNB - 1.55, vSB - 1.25V, PLL - 1.7V, CPU GTL - x.61, NB GTL - x.61, DRAM - 2.2V, Loadline - enabled, DRAM static read - disabled.
I'm going to rise the OC, now I'm testing @525FSB and I have to rise the voltages.
So, I would like to ask you, is that problem with overvoltage of the board is true? Should I lower the voltages ot the bridges?
Thank's in advance.
Hi everyone!
I'm new to these boards, already read alot (this whole thread), and i thought i'd say hi since in a week or two i'll be posting my questions and results here as well.
My new setup:
ASUS P5K-E
E8400
8800GT
Crucial Ballistix PC8500 128Mx64 4x1GB
I'm going to watercool the CPU, GPU and NB, and I'll be putting HR-09's on the mosfets.
I'm hoping to get ~4.3Ghz on 24/7 safe voltages, is that realistic?
And has anyone found the difference between the 1004 and the 1006 bios yet? I'll be upgrading to one of these the second the board comes in :D
Well, I just got done building my computer and when I power on, everything turns on but the system doesn't post (no beeps from mobo). Based on what I've read in this thread, it seems like it might be a ram problem? I'm using Crucial Ballistix 2gb PC2-6400 and since they're rated at 2.2v and the standard mobo setting is at 1.8v, you think that's what's causing the problem?
Have you tried changing the voltage?Quote:

For people with a Corsair 520hx psu, did you use the 4-pin connector or the 8-pin connector for the EATX12V slot? I currently have a 8-pin connector hooked up to it.
I am assuming you have an E8400 cpu? Do you know what version BIOS you are running? When I got my board the same exact thing happend when I paired it with my new E8400. I had to borrow the E2140 out of my mom's Dell just so that I can update the BIOS to a newer one (1004). Since then my E8400 has been running like a champ.
Here's my config:Quote:

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
CPU cooler: Scythe Infinity
Memory: Corsair Twin2X 2048MB (2 x 1024MB) - DDR2 PC6400
Graphics: ASUS EN8800GTS 512MB
I cut the power cable for the EATX12V & extended it with another cable, as it was a bit too short (PSU is located at the bottom of my case).
The vendor told me that the EATX12V connector was required for the graphics card, but only the 4-pin connector was enough.
I'm not sure when you need the 8-pin...
I had some team ram that required me to do the same as you. Was very annoying, plus any failed overclocking attempt would result in just a black screen and I'd have to repeat the process all over again to get back in with the team ram. I gave up on it and bought some ballistix which didn't have that issue. Neither do the OCZ titaniums I'm currently using.Quote:

Good to hear that v1006 is working alright.
It seems the BIOS upgrade rush seems to have slowed down a bit :)
Might upgrade this weekend, right now I'm still using v1004.
My second guess is your RAM then.Quote:
