P5B-E Plus de FSB :)

**misteroadster** · 11-22-2006, 03:49 PM

Hello,

I'm back to give some testing results with any Asus motherboard once again

Today i've got 4 P5Be-plus to compare, i was curious to see if there was a big difference between them, so i've tested them with a great 6600 (only) for FSB testing.

3 Of them was absolutely the same or i'm cpu (FSB) limited, only one stopped at 585 max screen.

Here was the results tested successfully with 3 of those, booted at 590 FSB from bios:

Unfortunately no 600+ for the moment :/ really strange, i can hit 595 with -30° cpu but with -65° it's not better ....

BTW : no special straps apparently, results are normal, not as strange than some 600+ posted some times ago.

wow!

Great results! :thumbsup:

Very good FSB

**misteroadster** · 11-22-2006, 04:57 PM

FSB is not so great, 600 was passed for while, but stability is impressive.
566 was easy on air i've not tested more.

I'm really impressed by the homogeneity of the 4 boards, i thought find more differences.

**911us** · 11-22-2006, 10:49 PM

Those caps around the CPU are they low profile? just hope i can get my waterblock to work with that MB

**argonmtt** · 11-23-2006, 12:29 AM

are they C1 or C2 revision MB?

**Shark-357** · 11-23-2006, 12:53 AM

C2.

**misteroadster** · 11-23-2006, 04:07 AM

Yup C2 rev

**Tush** · 11-23-2006, 04:54 AM

C2...

Great result!

**_Eduard_** · 11-23-2006, 06:08 AM

How can I find out if my P5B-Deluxe is C1 or C2? It will be arriving tomorrow

**Shark-357** · 11-23-2006, 07:13 AM

Check with Cpu-Z in motherboard section.

**_Eduard_** · 11-23-2006, 07:23 AM

So it's not visible from the outside? Like "rev. C2" printed near the chipset?

so far nope ... only can distinguish from cpuZ

**TaPaKaH** · 11-23-2006, 08:59 AM

P5B-Deluxe - written on the board:
rev 1.03G = C1
rev 1.04G = C2

Will the P5B-E plus board work with the ordunary 4 pin 12 V connector or will it need the 8 pin, I have a hiper 480 watt version 2.2 but it only has 4 pin, many thanks.

**Viss** · 11-24-2006, 05:15 AM

Nice results. Im rather sure most P5B dlx @ E boards wil do 550 easy. Its the cpu that makes the difference. Low temps certainly help max fsb, 595 on E6600 is very nice

My P5B dlx runs fine with 4 pins connected.

4 pins is enough.

Thanks for the replies, that saves me a few ££, I am hoping to get the board next week just waiting for confirmation that they can get me one in the UK.
