Nice result by maiko with P5B + Kentsfield + watercooling. For some reason, CPU-Z reads it as Conroe and the logical cores all show CPU #1.

Why aren't more ppl using this board? As it seems as one of the best.

Well it's +1 for me. Just ordered it at last. I've had to order my dads rig, but he's paid me some back so it went straight into this board.

Just hope the Tuniq Tower has no probs with my 3 120x38mm Sanyo-Denki's in there now. Cos they are fat fans!!

I ordered one to try too from ClubIT for 205usd. This E6400 has got more in it and I am not getting there with my P5W.

Nice one m8. I'm still worried about the Tuniq Tower. I've looked at some pics of someone with the TT120 on the P5B-D, but well... it'll be tight I know that. Looks like me buying a 120mm standard 25mm thick one again! - Just after I sold my Tricool! - Sods law.

but I'm not defeated yet! there's still a small chance it'll fit!

[[LCN]Knowledge]

From the moment i saw this board (i've always used Asus for their grate quality) i was just waiting fro more reviews and new BIOS do to the trick. I wan it cuzz it look so sexy also, (i want my next board to black hell yeah) and the layout is good.

Ummm just watching Asus page everyday... they now have like 15+ boards that support C2D. I wanna see that P5B-V in action.

I'm going to try a Scythe Mine with a 120mm capable of up to 2.5k RPMs on the P5B Deluxe until I can get my hands on a Tuniq Tower 120. I've got all my system fans on Sunbeam 4 channel rheobus so I can dial them up as needed.

It's awesome to see folks like Sierra_bound hitting a 500+ FSB with these things on a 9x Multi. I hope the OC Gods smile on me and I get 3.8-4.0GHz myself.

Me too. But as this is my first major overclock, I really hope I can get 400FSB with not much pratting about.

I've got the rheobus in my P180 too! - 3x Sanyo-Denki's and 1x Delta 80mm fan all on there! I really really don't think the TT120 will fit with two 38mm thick fans there. I really don't!

I've also trawled through these forums, but can't find the point where the Conroe will need more volts. I've never touched volts through BIOS before at all, so pushing on stock is all I know.

Looks like I need a mentor

[Direwolf]

Hope you guys post your results,P5B deluxe is one fine board.

Im ordering 2 of them today or tomorrow to pair up with an E6300 and E6400, both with teamgroup xtreme 5300 2gig sets.

Il be posting here when i get stuck, which will probably be getting everything to run at stock :p

Well, M8 I don't consider myself a good role model as an overclocker. I am often overly eager and could fairly be accused of being reckless

I am just using 25mm thick fans myself. They are intended for the Mine and the Ninja so I keep it simple.

I can tell you with both my E6700 and E6400 they will do up to 3.2GHz on stock voltage. To keep 3.3GHz they needed a slight bump in voltage. For 3.5GHz to 3.6GHz they need around 1.5v for both to keep it stable. The E6700 needs all of 1.6v to do 3.7GHz for some reason and my air cooling can not tame it. If I did as some of these other fellows and lost my case it might be a different story. A 425FSB @ an 8 x multi is alarmingly simple with my E6400, I don't have to start getting tricky til 435, and @ 439 I am pretty much done on this unmodded P5W DH D. I can boot 439 x 8 and that's it. If I desire more I have to resort to clockgen. I have been playing with a 450FSB @ an 8 x multi and may be able to get it stable tuning with MemSet. We will see.

I hope I have cause to proclaim, " Crikey! Have a go at that!" in the coming week for the right reasons. You know if Steve Irwin was into building his own rigs, he'd be an overclocker.

I'll post up my results with my P5B Deluxe for all to see later in the week in the Intel section. They won't be Xtreme and I hope respectable.

I'll be waiting for them results m8. You've got a close system to what Ill have. The Antec P180 (not that rev.1 and rev.2 are much different), a Sunbeam Rheobus, WD Raptor 74GB, 7950GX2. PC2-6400 4-4-4-12 memory.... Not a perfect match, but close

It won't be until the end of the month until I get my rig fully built then it's Ocing inside the case as I plan on gaming too. So whilst I'll be trying to max it (lol), I'll eventually settle on a stable OC for 24/7.

Could anyone with the p5b deluxe and a 975 board compare them in 3d01? I'm about to get p5b but I'm afraid it will be to slow

Yeat that's possible

If you haven't got your answer by Thursday, I can try it. My P5B Deluxe should arrive by then and I will try 3dmark01 with my E6400 in it @ 3.51GHz.

Currently I have:

54430 in 3dmark01
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9027980

and 3017 for the CPU test in 3dmark06
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=437324

I'll update this post with the P5B Deluxe results.

EDIT 2:

Yes 01 is slower @ the same clock. It is 50257:



Doing it on a straight 500FSB for 3.5GHz raises the score to 51304:



Thing is I was stuck @ 3.51 GHz with my P5W and so far I am up to 3.7GHz with my P5B Dlx. My 3dmark06 CPU score @ 3.7GHz is 3156 thats way better than I what I can get on the P5W @ 3.51.

EDIT: You may look here for benches of a P5B Deluxe vs the Bad Axe. Its a toss up in gaming, and the differences are small win or lose.

[0DIGy]

hi,

is the difference important between the Vcore while you're in IDLE and FULL with the P5B dlx?

cause it seems that it is important with the P5B (not dlx).

Actually i don't really care about the difference between windows and the bios (drop) i just want to know if the Vcore is stable

[sierra_bound]

Not a big difference. There is some droop, though I haven't measured with a DMM.

How easy is it to hit 500FSB with this board 24/7 ?

Very easy

Yep 500FSB = cake @ 7 x multi:



http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=114748

My best FSB so far for today = 520FSB X 7 for 3.64:



http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=114761

Soon as I find my crap out point I will start tuning.

This is how I was doing 3.7 GHz:



http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=114

3156 3dmark06 CPU test @ 3.7GHz

http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=450048

CPUmark = 514 @3.7GHz



Maybe I will get back to 3.7 on a 529 FSB. We will see.

[kayl]

nice work there malficar

my Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi arrives tomorrow hope i can get some FSB like that with a E6400 under phase

I'm jealous. You should be able to really let go with the vcore. If my set up could tame 1.6v I'd probably be on 3.8 GHz. Heck I can boot 3.9 GHz and it's hella unstable.

With my memory @ 4-4-4-10 1:1 and 1.65v on the NB 522FSB is my limit. @ 529 my system froze when I applied it in the BIOS @ 525 I crash when windows loads.

I will probably relax the memory tomorrow and see if I get any further.

For guys looking for a great gaming rig for decent cash I'd definitely say P5B Deluxe and an E6300. 400 x 7 for general use and 500-522 x 7 on air for gaming or very demanding tasks. The 7950 GX2 also runs great in this board under BIOS 0507.

@malficar

Did you run Orthos yet at 3.7? Or is that the highest benchable? I might give this board a try since Asus is neglecting the P5W.
