P5B Deluxe: BIOS screens for maximum overclocking success

[mcaff]

I have a problem, i cant boot windows up to 7*370mhz, over 370fsb wont boot up. I tryed 7*401 but still same problem, i did exactly as told but still nothing.

My PC:
ntel Core 2 Duo E6300, Asus P5B Deluxe, Corsair DDR2 XMS2-6400 800MHz 2*1024MB, Club 3D ATi Radeon X800XL 256MB, Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB, FSP Group EPSILON 700W

i tried it ... and see no diffenrence with the 0711

Nice one for that. Cheers for the reply.

See the changelogs.

I'm not stupid.

To all others I mean, what stand outs are there? - It's all trivial things in the c/l. Have people experienced more stability / any chance of slightly higher OC's too?

See the changelogs.

Can any1 tell me what vFSB termination is? I cant find it anywhere.
How much influence has it on ur OC? Which voltage is recommended if u overclock (~~~470FSB~~~).

Not 100% what vFSB termination is, But I'm fairly sure it relates to V.much which should be set to max 1.45v.

Initially set your V.core to auto and find the OC your happy with. Then go into your bios and read what the v.core is set to in the monitor. Change it from auto to this new value. Afterwards start to lower it till you have instability. This will help fine tune the v.core to your OC

Try setting your dram frequency to it's lowest setting (533), leave v.core on auto for now as I mentioned above.

A less complicated explanation can be found here:

When you raise the FSB frequency, sometimes you need to increase the termination voltage to increase stability. Some users avoid the maximum setting (1.45) because they found they can get higher FSB with 1.4v.

I have successfully overclocked my e6600 processor with this motherboard (p5b Deluxe wifi/ap) to 3.2 ghz.

I got this by buying a scythe infinity fan with some artic silver thermal paste. I then did some research (since this is my first overclock) and found these settings for the bios.


Advanced -> JumperFree Conf.:
AI Tuning - Manual
CPU Freq. - 356 (which will give you 3.2 ghz)
DRAM Freq. - AUTO
PCI-E Freq. - 100
PCI Clock - 33.33 MHz
Spread Spectrum - Disabled
Memory Voltage - 2.10V
CPU Vcore - 1.36 (I got lots of conflicting opinions on this option. Some people had it as high as 1.45
(all other settings on this page - Auto)
There are settings for Northbridge voltage and southbridge voltage that I leave to auto.

Advanced -> CPU Conf.:
Modify Ratio - DISABLED
C1E - DISABLED
Max CPUID - Disabled
Vanderpool - Enabled
CPU TM - DISABLED
Execute Disable - DISABLED
PECI - Disabled

I have 2 gigs of pc6400 corsair 5-5-5-12 memory running at auto (5-6-6-18).

I am running steady at these settings. Can anyone tell me what the exact settings are needed for 3.4 and 3.6 Ghz. I had it somewhat steady at 3.5 Ghz by just increasing the cpu freq
and the vcore voltage but always ran into problems rebooting.


I have the e6600, p5b deluxe(with updated bios 711), corsair pc6400, however with set to auto it reads currently at 5-6-6-18. scythe infinity

[sierra_bound]

Don't run DRAM Frequency on Auto. Set it to 1:1. This would be the first option on the drop-down menu. If FSB Frequency is 356, it should say DDR2-712.

[tommy-armour]

cpu freq ?
dram freq ?
vcore ?

[Vikodemous]

Advanced -> CPU Conf.:

The theory part is complicated, put i little bit see the point in it.

In short, set it to 1.4V? Intel says, 1.3V for maximum.
I havent tested the differences yet.

ty anyway

[Millyons]

i tested when lostcircuits said about cpu temp with different FSB termination voltage and there is no difference in cpu temps on my system

Guys,
I am having problems with the multiplier.

When i run, Orthos or Prime95, superpi (any other stress programme), the multiplier lowers to 6x (E6300 = 7x).

Therefore, i get a score of 19sec @1M.

I have turned EIST of. Even if i set the ratio maunally to 7x it still lowers to 6x .

I am sure that there are more ppl who havent discovered this.

I am having also this problem:
Try this out byurselve,
open cpuz and crystal cpuid.
Select cpu1/2, see multipliers at both, they must be the same, refresh (f5)the screen (of crystal), then I (you) see that the multiplier drops.
Now select core 2/2. REfresh (f5), now i see that the multiplier keeps 7x.

Weird ,
thus, core1 is @idle mode 6x and core 2 7x?

Now do this again with orthos (or any other stress), then u shall see that multiplier drops (to 6x) .

edit:
I suppose we all turned EISt off,
i have too, but i still see in CPUID that it is active ( check with everest or crystal).

this is my result @ stock (Mainboard) (CPU is watercooled)
Next week I will test @ watercooling (Mainboard)

Voltages: FSB: 1,3V NB: 1,55V SB: 1,5V Vdimm: 2,2V Vcore 1,5V

Am I the only one to be stuck at PCIE 1X ?
this mb is great for oc'ing conroe on no graphic benchs, no doubt about it...

no you are not the only one. Mine goes away after powering down, turn off power supply, turn on.... 16x.... weird stuffs i know

it's been 4 days of tests :/
and i never reached windows once in pcie 16X
i emailed asus france in despair

[Grinch]

I have found that by setting NB to anything over 1.45V makes pcie go to 1x..

I had the same problem and reflashing took care of it.

[ssabripo]

whew!

got my replacement Mobo, and all is well (so far...knock on wood)....step by step trying to get back at my 3.31 OC....first step: 3.255

[sierra_bound]

When running Orthos or SP2004, you should set the Priority to 9. As to why 9, read this thread.

Also, you need to run Orthos for more than six minutes. At least do a couple of hours. 6-8 is even better.

Yo ,ppl , stop chatting like girls, and do my test

I really need a confirmation about this subject, it is pretty confused.

Intel says 1.55v is the maximum for FSB Termination Voltage which is also known as VTT.

VTT is usually about half the memory voltage.

ftp://download.intel.com/design/proc...s/31327802.pdf

Also keep in mind that voltage numbers quoted by Intel do not refer to your bios settings. For example, Intel says VCore should be no more than 1.55v. But you can set 1.55v in bios and actual board voltage, measured with a DMM, may be only 1.5 due to voltage droop.

Intel's voltage figures are just guidelines. Don't you think it rather odd that Intel says no more than 1.55 for core voltage, and yet some of the boards they sell like the Bad Axe have VCore higher than that in the bios.

knock on wood

that's "touch wood".

lol depends on the language spoken. in my language is knock also

dude....we not gone over this before in this very thread:http://xtremesystems.org/forums/show...&postcount=139
:p

IT IS A SNAPSHOT MAN!!!!! I just posted the snapshot to show that it is up and running last nite in my excitement....it ran all nite long, no problems!
I never call success unless it can run 2 hours blend+2 hours SmallFFT, so dont worry.

the only issue is that my temps are now 1-2C higher....
