seems like Asus is enabling support for 1333 FSB's on tons of boards, even boards that dont officially support the 1333 FSB.
among this list are most 965 and 975 board, Nvidia 650 and 680i boards, and all P35's.
more boards are coming to the list too, I hear...

the 0608 bios for the p5n32-e SLI plus already has 1333 fsb support. I want penryn support!
No P5N-E SLI? :(
1201 Beta :)Quote:

Seems that other manufacturers could do this if they wanted to also... As opposed to "forcing" new boards, ect....:rolleyes:
Gigabyte is doing the same, when the first 1333MHz FSB CPUs were announced, only the P965-DS4 Rev3.3 officially supported it.Quote:

no idea on Penryn though ;)
*Prays for 45nm to be supported on P965*
C'mon!
They are, its just a matter of MB support aswell.Quote:

It's supported since BIOS 0608: http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/c...el=P5N-E%20SLIQuote:

I mean those boards could run fsb 1333 and way higher before as well... from what i can see all they changed is "putting an extra sticker on the box"
its nice that they add official support for their legacy boards tho :toast:
You know, I got a P5W DH back in March that had this big 1333MHz official support sticker on the box.
Thanks, I've been lurking for some time :DQuote:

According the a thread in the Intel Section
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...6&postcount=36
The new BIOS does in fact give support for 45nm! Happy days are here again!
omg... YAY NO MOBO UPGRADE FOR ME~~~ might as well wait for the new 45nm processors :D
for some reason the e6850 isnt listed there.perhaps they havent tested it just yet?Quote:

Arg! I misinterpreted the 1333FSB support with the penryn support. :(
What about the rumored new VRM that would be needed for Penryn?
Doesn't have to do with that. If your board clocks to 333mhz and doesn't have the necessary 1333 FSB support your M/B won't boot the 1333 FSB cpu anyway. You need a bios with 1333 FSB support or else you will have to get use to a black screen while you try to boot.Quote:

"In order to run FSB1333, you can manually set the BIOS to the configuration below:"

I have a new Asus P5K Deluxe coming next week that I want to use with an E6750. According to these links I will need at least the 0404 BIOS for 1333 FSB.
http://www.asus.com/news_show.aspx?id=7866
http://event.asus.com/mb/fsb1333/
The CPU Support page shows that the E6750 needs the 0311 BIOS.
Attachment 61935
Any idea why there's a difference between the CPU Support page and the 1333 FSB info?
If this board comes with the 0202 BIOS will I be able to get into the BIOS with the E6750 so I can flash whichever BIOS that I need?
Now this is news!:up:
Rumors and tests confirmed by Asus finally. Very nice!
Even x975 support. Nice. I had expected 965/963 series to be the lowest.
source ?
I was just waiting the official announcement now I can save some money till Intel launch its 45nm.
Penryn for the win.

P5B is not dead!
damn great news. now i just have to flash my p5wdg2 pro bios and spend $400!
omg. i love you so MUCH sxs, great news indeed.
p5b-dlx still lives!!
This is great news.
I told you that 965P support 45nm!!
Excellent, the P5N-E SLI is on the list now :D
Great news! No need to jump on a Q6600 that quickly for me...
This list is even more funny considering theinqs usual crap:

Ye change all the time. LOL!Quote:
Even though AMD is mixing'n'matching right now, judging by the amount of e-mails we have received in the past two years - this policy might prove better than Intel's. That's keeping the same socket, but changing the VRMs to point of zero backwards compatibility.
Very cool! Both the Striker Extreme & P5W64WS Pro sweet! Knew there was a reason I dropped the dough on those. :)
QFT :woot: :DQuote:

It's the least they can do considering all the relatively crap components (compared to the likes of Gigabyte) they've been putting on their boards lately, anything other than their top of the range models gets el cheapo treatment.
Gosh I love asus now I got a p5b-deluxe back in December YAY !!!!!!!!
