I just purchased the Asus P5K-E Wifi. The board should do fine as overclocker but unfortunatly I experience weird issues.
1. First the board wouldn't post. The GPU started with max-fanspeed but no view at all. After unplugging the main power-cord it would post again. This was 'solved' by putting the memory from auto and selecting the timings manually. Since that moment the board did post all times but it gives sometimes 'boot block' errors when posting. Seems that the bios is corrupt. When again unplugging the powercord it works again. Used the bios 1004 and 1006, both experience the same problems.
2. When I run my 4x 1GB crucial ballistic PC-8500 just at 2,3V (+0,1V) at the nominal speeds of 5-5-5-15 @1066mhz it simple crashes within the minute. How come? The only thing I can think of is that one 2GB-pair is single-sided ram and the otherone is dual-sided but would this make the system crash at those speeds?
Vcore is 1.4, rest is on auto. i'm now gonna try raising th nb voltage when i get home, but i dont think that's gonna do anything.
Basicly the question, what should I do to solve those problems?
I had the same issue you stated in #1, and for me it was a memory issue. Do you have the same problems if you're using two sticks of ram? You may just have compatability issues with using different density sticks.
