1st look on asus P5K-VM: G33 matx board (56K warning!)

Asus has brings out at last its new g33 mb!
Will it performs like the top of the line Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R?

So! this asus P5K-VM gives us at last this damned missing ratio 1:1 fsb/ram and performs like its rival the gigabyte (fsb@450 )

You won't be compelled to use those killing rams needed on the ga-g33-ds2r!

Dude where did you get the savory Darth Vador Doll? I had one of those when it first came out in 1977:)

Dont forget to test the Intel GMA 3100 :up:

Nice pvhk, waiting 4 ur result
Especially the divider options

-tam2-

The P5K-VM gives us at last the missing ratio 1:1

See above! :up:

Thanks for your result pvhk.:up:

Can you test this mb with quad core?

nice:toast:

can you fit a 16x card in the open ended 4x slot or does the battery get in the way?

GJ pvhk :)
I think i might get this one too
ASUS FTW!!
But it'll still need good rams to reach 800-900 with 4-4-4-x timings coz of the limited vddr up to 2.1V only :|

-tam2-

Where is that 1:1 option? Is it the "Auto" Option?

And did you have a 800MHz FSB CPU to test if the 1:1 divider is available for those CPUs too?

@tam2
The timings are not so powerful on intel system ... and 800-900mhz should as good as every memory make with max. 2.1V ...

The Asus seems to have the same high quality components like the Gigabyte, but i think i stay @ my DS2R yet :D

You are blind man!! :D
Look at cpuz!
To have ratio 1:1 i had to set manually in bios "DDR 667"! I did not use "auto" setting....

And yes, i have an e4300 & 4400 on my other rigs....
will test later but i'm confident..
This mb rocks and behaves like the giga otherwise...

I have seen that there IS an 1:1 divider, i mean the BIOS!

It doesnt make sense for me, you have a 1066mhz CPU and set DDR2-667, that means you have a 4:5 dividor, so why you have 1:1?


http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/b...1086copier.jpg

maybe the setting unlocks at 300FSB or something

BTW what is the Transaction booster?

Availability? how much is it?
The last thing we all wanna see is the fsb clocking on quads
Thx for the quick review pvhk

Nice Little board.
Thanks

Price of P5K-VM?

Im soooo gonna buy this board

-tam2-

the same price as the gigabyte ds2r here in Denmark:P

Remember it has no raid and max 2,1 vdimm!

pvhk,

When you get an opportunity can you do an orthos blend test @ 450FSB or 475FSB. If that FSB is stable @ those speeds, then my E6400 B has just found a new home. DDR2-900 is no problem @2.1v with some G. SKill 6400 HZ's. Default voltage for DDR2-800 is 2.0v-2.1v. Anyplace have this board available in the states yet?

Does S3 sleep/resume work?

Thx.

Did not enabled it! will try....

From experience, S3 sleep/resume is most likely to work on Asus mobos more than any other makes.

Really sad cos I use S3 all the time.

it will be done!

interesting, this is the 1st Asus P5K board that has a parallel LPT port on the rear panel.

Now i got 2 options the other being the Gigabyte mb, as I needed a mb with a parallel LPT port.

The price is comparable to gigabyte, but the lack of raid kills me :(
Will they release a matx mobo with ICH9R?

130€ :(

argh my eyes, its so ugly :(
will ASUS ever learn to use black PCB's on all there boards

pencil vdimm mod should be easy, so 2.1v isn't issue really

any vnb/sb/ich adjustment?
what's max fsb 1:1 with conroe?

that thing is cracka lackin

now you would tell us if you modded the board right ?

no vfsb nore vmch like the gigabyte but in my case those options are useless cause it did not changes anything raising those voltages!
Did not try yet over fsb@500....

My screens are fakes ones as usual! :D


Though laking esata & full raid (ICH9 not ICH9R), this board with it's ugly color (:ROTF: ) is by far better than my gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R in term of performance (max fsb, lots of ratio fsb/mem with c2d fsb800/1066)...

looks like its light years better overclocking wise

I dont think the Asus is "far better", if GB give us more memory-dividors i think the same or maybe more fsb is possible (MCH/FSB voltages adjustable), and then its overall the better choice i think, damn GB support (yet) ...

is this turning into the normal G33 chipset though? the lack of dividers ?

in reality, and you can't deny this if you have done performance tests and not memory benchmarks.

you will never see the difference performance/speed with high ram vs 950mhz ram
benchmarks are the only thing thats going to show it, you'll never see it in windows or anything else.

in reality the lack of dividers is fine, lower ram at tighter timings is the same as higher ram at looser timings and many times can be done with less voltage. or equal voltage.

gotta remember these are not real overclocking boards, i think they just put the overclocking in there to sell more.

Looks like a nice board but you have played this tune so many times I lost count. Was it an Asus board you first said was the one? LOL

Anyway, what it the highest MHz, prime for an hour stable, you can get with your 6800? Thanks.

I'm in need of an matx board. Thinking about this Asus P5K-VM or the GA-G33M-DS2R board. I want to insert a E4400 and overclock to 3Gz (any higher will heat up the case to much I-am afraid). I will use 2gig normal PC6400 800 Mhz memory.
In your expert opinion which one to chose. I believe the ASUS will reach the 3gz more easily without overclocking the ram. Is this correct?. I can live with the lack of raid on the asus. The 6 usb on the back are more important to my setup. Any advise on which board to take or maybe on a more suitable processor will be appreciated. Cheers

Very nice results!:up:

500 fsb on matx, who would think?:clap:

But it lacks Raid and has only 4 SATA.

If we gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R owners mailed GB these results and pointed out that the competition is providing 1:1 maybe we could get that as well...:D

o.o all the pictures are gone

ASUS should use better colour on their PCB. Gigabyte look must better. :shakes:

Maybe but giga has not those memory divider unlocked!
with a c2d fsb1066:

from 266 up to 292: 4 ratio

I have run 8x435 for 24 hours with an E6600 (anything higher crashes around six hours but have not tried an X6800 yet), Quad QX6700 is doing 9x420. Gigabyte is working on opening up the memory ratios in their next G33 BIOS. The performance oriented G35 boards will be completely unlocked, early sample is doing 8x500 (E6600) on the 1066 strap right now. ;)

Thanks Bingo,

How far away are these "performance oriented" G35 boards? I'm looking to replace the Abit F-I90HD with a 450FSB capable m-atx board for Quakecon next month.

I think between G33 and G35 are no differences except DX10 support ...

There are several other differences between the G35 and G33 besides the graphics core update, optimizations to the memory pipeline as an example.

I know about the Gigabyte BIOS because I am using it right now - release F4A adds these memory ratios:

FSB 1066: 1:1, 4:5, 2:3, 1:2
FSB 1333: 1:1, 5:6, 5:8

Overclocking is improved a little also.

Have you got some screens of those ratios?

Yegods, that PCB looks awful!

Nice results, though, I guess I could live with the eyesore for that FSB.

Where you get it from? I have die GB too but have still F3 ... and i have FSB 800 CPU ...

I see, its available in the HP but i cant dowload it ... can you upload it anywhere for us?

In that case I may as well buy a board now. So do you think the Gigabyte(with f4 bios) is better than the Asus? Have you done any orthos testing with the Gigabyte? It's instock everywhere I'll order it now if its 450FSB or greater stable.

Those are AWESOME informations... The G33M from Gigabyte (who is severely memory limited thanks to the lack of dividers) recieving the "missing" 1:1 (500+ maybe?), G35 boards only one/two months away... Nice!

Btw, has anyone tried CrossFire with the G33? boards with the open-ended 4x slot? It should be the same thing as the P965 and P35 chipsets, it is the same configuration (except the shorter slot, but the secondary longer ones only give extra support on the P965/P35 boards...).

Cheers.

Miguel

The P5K-VM is showing up instock here in the states now. Just can't decide what to do now. If the Gigabyte memory divider issues get fixed, it seems like a better buy. It actually comes with e-sata bracket & cable & I use e-sata alot.

I've worked with the G33M myself, and apart from the memory issues it's a sweet, sweet board.

Bios F4A beta for gigabyte available for download (unlocking ratio 1:1) :

But the GB-Link still doesnt work?!

strange it works for me...

Me too...

Ive tried the new bios and no new memory-dividors for 800mhz cpus yet :(

But i think they will come soon, its just a beta ...

The GB-download works now ;)

This board is now available @newegg for $119.99 + Shipping.

800MHz memory dividers might show up in F5, still have a lot of tuning left to do with the F4x right now. After speaking with Gigabyte today they let the F4a go public on their site so they will support it, fairly solid beta after several days of testing. ;)

I like it better than the ASUS, mainly from an options viewpoint but Gigabyte is committed to tuning the board now, we might even get a couple of additional voltage options in F5. I have not been able to clock as high as the ASUS board but they are working on it now, might get another beta spin later this week.

I run 378*9 in lownoise air with the MB. Really nice

Finally, got their attention to m-atx boards

The -ds2r variant of the gigabyte has it.

Sorry I'm late to the party, but I didn't see any clarification: are all of these OC results done using an add-in card, or integrated graphics?

all tests were done using a pci nvidia TNT card and now a 7900gs!
onboard video always disabled!

Does anyone have OC results on this board while using the onboard vodeo? Any quad results also?

Yes it has it. In bios, its under "Main" then "Ide Configuration". "SATA Configuration" must be set to something other than disable. Then under "Configure SATA AS" the options are "IDE" & "AHCI".

It seems finally the IGPs are becoming somewhat independent of FSB manipulation. Well, either that or Intel is being extremely conservative on the capabilities of its new IGP (which may be a very good thing for the G35 chipset...).

I mean, that speed is basically the same other users have been getting with this board. Could changing the northbridge cooler help with the OC? I guess the IGP can be generating some extra heat which the IGP can't handle...

Anyway, thank you for the update on overclocking with the IGP enabled. And thank you also for the info on NOT active cooling not being needed on these CPUs, only PSU.

Cheers.

Miguel

I've not seen anyone post prime stable results of such length with or without onboard video in use. My board clocks well for Pi, but not orthos or OCCT. I believe the limitation lies in fact than you can't increase any voltages other than cpu or vdimm. I think after a few bios spins we'll get voltage adjustment as well as increased vdimm. Biggest draw back on this board is the 07v vdroop. Still I'm happy with this setup. I'm almost considering not tearing it down and trying the Zalman.

Thanks for posting your results! :up:

I am setting up my P5K-VM system this weekend.

What sold me was the coaxial out + 6usb over the Gigabyte board.


Specs:

Microfly BX6 (the new good looking one w/o handle)
P5K-VM
E6400 (see sig for previous overclock results on current board)
Zalman 8000
4GB (4x1GB) G.Skill DDR2-800 "HZ" Micron D9
Hard drives in sig
One DVDRW in sig
X-Plosion PCI
Gigabyte 8800GTS 640MB

Basically I am selling my P5B Deluxe and Antec 900 and X1950XT to make my system into SFF for my large television.



What do you think of the system? Tomorrow the case arrives and Friday I will begin the build. Operating system is Windows XP MCE though I have Vista but I will not install it due to bad Auzen Vista drivers.



I currently have my processor at 3.4GHz 24hour orthos stable without any voltage tweaks except to processor (i.e. no MCH/SB/etc voltage increases) and I hope to achieve at least 3.2GHz in the small case.

The Zalman 8000 just plain suxs. I haven't used mine in awhile. I doubt it will be able to cool you cpu oc to your satisfaction. I have the new Zalman 8700, but I'm so satisfied with the build I don't think I want to tear it down just to try the cooler. There are no voltage adjustments available other than ram and cpu. Ram only goes to 2.1v and vdroop is around .07v. Keep all this in mind as you plan your oc looks good though.

Why just everybody says the Asus has more USB connectors than the Gigabyte? - thats wrong!

ALL G33 motherboards have 12 USB ports!

The Asus has "just" 2 more on the backpanel and the Gigabyte one more internal USB header.

EDIT: http://www.forumdeluxx.de/forum/showthread.php?t=352788

except that on the asus, you won't be compelled to buy an extra bracket...
the zalman 8000 is not a good performer! the 8700 is a better choice for a low profil heatsink:
http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/4...2copierah1.jpg

I currently use Arctic Cooling 7 Pro. Everyone say that that HSF does not preform so well.

I was very happy with it, though that might be the extra "airy" Antec 900 case.

The 8000 must be better than the Intel OEM HSF and in addition I do not believe the 8700 to fit because of how it sticks over the motherboard.

I already have the 8000 and it looks very nice. My goal is just to keep the processor under 65C at full load. I believe because my processor needs no additional voltage (at least on P5B-D) to achieve 3.2GHz I will have no issues.

My RAM is Micron D9GMH verified by removal of heatspreader

My 7900gs died, I'm selling the other one I have sometime, this board looks great. I'll be awaiting results with onboard video turned on too :) oh and when you do that, could you like touch the nb heatsink to feel how hot it is?

upcoming test with the new e6850!

Nice!! Whats the highest stable clock pvhk?
G0s runs cool indeed, perfect for a quiet htpc in an SFF case
