ASUS P5K Deluxe - Intel P35 Bearlake + E6600 B1 / Q6600 B3

[Stelios]

Sounds like a delicate balence between a toasty mobo and a corrupted bios .
Whatever works. Did you do it that way on purpose or was it just serendipity.

I wanted to roll back the bios . I tried about 10 different afudos versions with no luck . My only chance was corrupting the bios which worked !

[jeeka]

Will 0123 work with those of us who use q6600's and up? I thought there needed to be a minimum BIOS before it could POST?

Just a thought to look into before we go trying this. I have a spare chip, but only a e6600 and e6700, not sure if those would POST with BIOS 0123 even...

Anyone have info?

I'm using an E6700 ... so i can tell you that you can use bios 0123 with your dual cores .

nice! Thanks!

Did you do anything special with multipliers/voltages or anything, or did you treat it like you were trying to really OC your e6700? AKA, did you pump vCore and vNB?

I would imagine you dumped down the multiplier to even get it to react at 580fsb?

I left the vcore at the default value i'm using for 24/7 . Even 600x6 is very easy with 1.4V and my CPU , so select the vcore accordingly.
Nbcore & sbcore at auto . Vdimm at 2.1V (24/7 value)
The multiplier has been dropped to 6 . Transaction booster to relax level 1 . Static Dram disabled .
After setting these values , i started raising FSB.
It's not easy to make it corrupt ... but if you have patience , you'll make it .

I don't know if this has been posted before, so here it goes :
I got my P5K Dlx and tested it yesterday, but it wouldn't boot. Since I changed my MB because the old one was dead, I thought it might be the CPU.

But it wasn't. It worked fine when I took out one of my Crucial 10th anni. sticks, and just used one at the time... Anyone know how I fix this problem?
And when I try to boot with more than one hdd, I get the "Chassis Intruded", and it won't go longer. How do I fix that?

Get to cmos with one ram stick, increase the vdimm voltage to 2.1, shut down and add the rest of your ram.

[jeeka]

^^^What genec57 said....

[Tuppen^^]

I found out my problem isn't the MB, it's one of the ram sticks.. one of them works fine, but the other one is dead...

Why have just one of the sticks died?

[jeeka]

Get MemTest, and test them in different slots, too. That is, providing you can even boot using the 'bad' stick....

[Tuppen^^]

the problem is that I can't boot with the "bad" stick

[jeeka]

Yup, sounds like you are right in your diagnosis....Have you tired testing the RAM in another machine, if available?

[Tuppen^^]

No, but with different mobos and different cpus... So it could count as different machines xD

[jeeka]

That should do it, as long as you want to spend the time to dig out your parts and swap stuff around, I would say it's worth a couple hours.

[Tuppen^^]

But do anyone know why I get the "Chassis Intruded" message when I boot? (I have not mounted the MB in my rig, but am testing it on my desk).. How do I get this away?

[ziddey]

is there any jumper you have to short?

This happened to me once some time ago. I finally got it to boot after clearing the cmos. I don't remember if I had to remove the battery to get it to work.

so bios 703 did get released for P5K deluxe wifi app with all the bugs on it... no wifi and no front usb headers... any fix on this yet? came from 601 and had a dual channel mode bug(putting my RAMs on asymetric mode), got fixed with this bios but with other bugs that is worse than 601. hopefully asus gets this one fixed soon... if anyone is getting a work around this bugs, please share it with us...
cheers

[Tuppen^^]

And what BIOS version is the best for overclocking?

Edit: same 703 crud. Asus come to our resuce. I can't go back to 603. Argghshsh . .

[Tuppen^^]

Why do the multiplier for the CPU jump around? I set it to 8, and 400 FSB, but it jumps to 6 and 7... Sometimes 8...
How do I change this?

0311, 0404 IMO. Both are pretty good. 0311 is more stable.

[CERO]

heh I didnt bother updating bios after my very first BIOS flash to the 0311.
Are there any significant improvement across these updates, havent been looking into this for some time now.

[timber715]

huh? what other bugs? my usb headers work perfectly. ??

are usb connected to your case working fine? pls check device manager and see if the is a flagged usb port. also, you dont have a wifi app built in, so you wont have that problem...

[genec57]

All my usb ports are working. There is one flagged in device manager but it doesn't seem to have any effect. I don't use the wifi so i can't address that problem.
