Asus P5K Bearlake P35 chipset motherboard >> TESTING LATEST INTEL CHIPSET

[dinos22]

Did some

RAM TESTING


i've discovered that FSB <292MHz only gives basic RAM ratios that you get on P965 and FSB 292MHz> gives you the full RAM Ratio range

I haven't really tested for speed against P965 yet as i don't have memset to see what all timings are doing and i also need to know all the voltage measurement points >>>> but from initial tests it looks like it's on par with P965

no major tweaks 'cept for LargeSys and no RAM tweaking yet but for CAS 3 vs 4 vs 5 i did have all the timings set in bios




4:5 RATIO WORKS PROPERLY NOW >> haven't tested for max clocks yet (time is a bit whacky because i used a much slower hard drive here....so don't compare to other results below)




TESTING CAS3 vs CAS4 vs CAS5















PC10000 Dominators at CAS4 (4-4-4-x ~2.45v)

it seems it's about the same as P965 as i have one board topping out at 590MHz 4-4-4-x and another 600MHz 4-4-4-x >>> This P35 chipset mobo can do ~597MHz roughly but would not complete 8M 600MHz so i moved on (some more RAM tweaking may change that)


























Another Important Update >>> RAM RATIOS TESTED




Test Setup

• E6300ES B1
• Corsair PC8500 Dominators 2GB kit
• VDIMM: 2.35v set in bios
• vMCH: 1.55V set in bios
• RAM Timings set in bios: 5-5-5-15-10-42-10-10-10

The idea behind the test is to quickly test max clocks on above settings for all RAM Ratios available in bios to see if any of them have a problem..........

i was able to use SetFSB up to 407MHz FSB after which i was forced to boot to windows direct from bios on some of the lower ratios so i also ran 4M and 8M SuperPI to give you an idea that it clearly had more MHz in the runs to max out at 1M




1) 1:2 RATIO ~605MHz 1M SuperPI Max







2) 3:5 RATIO ~610MHz 1M SuperPI Max







3) 5:16 RATIO ~535MHz 1M SuperPI Max ******So this one is problematic







4) 2:3 RATIO ~605MHz 1M SuperPI Max







5) 4:5 RATIO No SetFSB here so booted 600MHz on RAM and did 1M/4M/8M SuperPI











5) 5:6 RATIO No SetFSB here so booted 600MHz on RAM and did 1M/4M/8M SuperPI










here is some more proof that strap doesn't change as you boot from 400 to 401MHz FSB
