Yes this should be a "sticky"..
Hey I joined in the p5b-deluxe club.. I got a question.
Why in the boot up screen does my 6400 plat. rev.1 read "pc2-4300" on my p5b-deluxe, running bios 609?
Is there something I missed in the bios?
Dram freq. was set at "266" when I first started out.
I'm currently at 8x300, 44415.
Probably boots at PC2-4300 for compatibility reasons.
It reads pc2-6400 in cpu-z.. Wierd.
So I guess I have the right selection in the dram freq.? What if I were running 266 and selected "800" in the dram freq.? What does that do?
Only when you're running 400FSB or higher, 1:1, will it read 6400.
Distortion in audio playback.
Bios: 0609
Initially @ 450x8 but i figured i had fsb that was too high so i clocked down to stock and still got the distortion. i also plugged in my headphones to make sure my speakers weren't crapping out... same result.
Best way to describe it is crackling of higher frequencies. it only becomes noticable when at full volume in windows (not full volume on speakers though).
ALSO,
a warning to anyone using AsusUpdate tool to flash bios in windows... you cannot flash to an older bios. I flashed to 0609 (08/30/06) yesterday and was going back to 0507 (08/10/06) today but the tool will not allow it. Now I have to find a floppy :(
Yes you can. Just check the bios downgradable box in options.Quote:

For overclocking, just do 1:1 - the first option. At stock speeds that will be 533
If you set it to auto, the bios will read the SPD but only 607 seems to handle dividers well. So it might not even boot and but has nothing to do with your overclock.
I haven't tried it yet, I only have one computer, can't afford to let it run a leaker beta bios.
Thank you.
BTW, I'm running the 609's atm and so far at 8x400 with 4,4,4,15 with my 6400platz. rev.1 Ocz'z.
Has anyone come up with an explanation for the double boot? Double restart? If you don't know what I am talking about when I do a cold boot or restart, the computer boots up for 1 second turns off, and then turns on a second time and boots up fine.
I think it's applying the bios settings personally, but yeah, it's annoying & disturbing.Quote:

I tried to upgrade to a AMD 64x2 4600+ with 2 different boards but didn't see any real improvement since they decided to pretty much kill the 2x1G Cache. So I did a little research and ended up with the Intel E6400/P5B Deluxe Board package from Fry's. I also picked up 2 sticks of 1G OCZ PC2 6400 (800Mhz) Gold Memory.I had a Gforce PCI-E 7600GS video card laying around along with a few Maxtor 300G SATA Drives. First off I could tell it was faster than the 4400+ and even the 4600+! I even did some quick overclocking with ASUS's Ai booster App. 8 x 300 got me to 2.4Mhz with no problems, but any higher with their App won't fly. A question I had is this, the OCZ mem has a latency of 5-5-5-12 is that any good? I've understood 3 is best but 4 will do when cash is a problem, is 5 do-able? Also can raid 0+1 be set up without creaming my existing 300G drive? I have 3 more to add for the setup.
Thanks for the help
does anyone know when will bios be relesed??
or at least 0609 but not beta version
Hello,
i have bought the Asus P5B Deluxe, 2gb Teamgroup PC2 6400, Conroe E6600 and a Sapphire X1900XT. I flashed with bios 507, but im getting lots of problems doing overclock with this rig above 300fsb
I have tried this:
CPU Multi 6x
FSB 350 (1:1 mems at 700mhz) <- Underclock
CPU Mhz = 2100mhz <- Underclock
Vmem = Auto, 2.15, 2.25, 2.30
Configs of Mem = BySpd, Manual (4-4-4-12)
With this setting, and all the options in vmem and mem settings, i get lots of errors in Memtest86+
Then..i tried this:
CPU Multi 9x
FSB 300 (2:3 mems at 900mhz)
CPU Mhz = 2700mhz
Vmem = 2.15
Configs da Mem = Manual (4-4-4-12)
Memtest86+ gives no errors, Orthos in memory stress and cpu stress runs everthing fine.
Above 300/310 fsb is starts to give me erros in Orthos memory stress.
3Dmarks crashes, games crashes, so..its not stable at all above +/- 310fsb
I have tryed vmem to 2.3 and vcore to 1.45 and every single setting in bios (enabling and disabling)....and no go.
I have tryed only with 1 Dimm, at 334fsb (3000mhz) it looks like Memtest+ until 4 test, gives no errors, but at windows in Orthos still give erros in memory stress. At 320fsb Orthos runs fine.
I have tried the 1:1 divisor, at fsb at 400 x 6 = 2400mhz but Orthos keeps doing errors and the system its not stable at all.
Memory ? Should i change the memory for a GSKILL HZ 6400 ?
I already lost 3 days because of this damn thing. I cant lose more. I have many work to do :)
Can anyone help me ?
I've noticed the same thing with both 0609 and 0607. At first I though my MX5021 speakers were dying, but lowering the Windows volume fixes things.Quote:

I'm not using onboard sound and no distortion.
Can't complain about this 609, it's got me to 420x8 atm.
About the OCZ gold 6400, from what I've read, it's not the greatest on this p5b.. It seems I've gotten lucky with the set I have, the platz that is.
Since I updated to 0507 bios I can't even get the ASUS App to get me to 8x300! Before I updated it would work with both Mem's, the Corsair 4-4-4-12 5300 and the OCZ Gold 6400 5-5-5-12. The OCZ is what I have left as I returned the Corsair ($220 apposed to $150). Anybody have a quick way to turn an existing 300G SATA (my boot drive) into a Raid 0+1 set? I have 3 more 300G SATA drives.
The Asus Ai booster seems kind of lacking. Any othe programs for overclocking this board/chip?
Uninstalled those sissee Ai booter, its a crap !
Key for success regarding sofware part of an OC, millilons of restarts, patience and focus on the BIOS ONLY ! Nothing else.
Thanks Bing! Went into bios and disabled C1E and Speedstepping then set 8x300. Now I'm at 2400 Mhz, 1:1 FSB:Dram,Mem at 300hz 5-6-6-18. Temps are 55c/38c. What test can I do to make sure this is stable? I have 2 days on this system.
Got the board, works without itches.
tried different things and still works well.
currently just doing 8x405 waiting for my waterblock to get it down to business.
tested it up to 8x450 without problems.
using xfi soundcard without any issues.
all and all its a good board.

Personally, I run a quick Super PI, then 3dmard2k1(games only), and then 3dmark2k5(games/cpu tests).. Then do some gaming, CS, FEAR,etc. on each new settings. Some like to do Prime, some like Ortho. Another one is "stresscpu". I used it on my AMD opty rig.
