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

[dinos22]

Good work Dinos22 thats gunna save us heaps of time in thoughts...
That graph you made up would of taken sum time ? running benchmarks each fsb rise ???

Cheers Hori

of course it does

[dinos22]

yeap you right.
i see now the screen of 520fsb :p :p
for the other program that indicates thes vdimm you mean Aisuite?
thx dinos22

Aisuite yes

[dinos22]

Could you E-mail here?
setfsb@zpost.plala.or.jp

hi abo-san

i got your email but i am trying to reply and cannot.........very strange since i've sent you an email 30 minutes ago



i have some more questions

Thanks mate

When you say “test screenshots” is there are shortcut key like CPUz uses (I think theirs is F5 and F7)

Also one thing I always wanted to ask you is to increase FSB past 511MHz as I'm forced to use Clockgen but prefer Setfsb…………..your program always gives me higher OCs for screenshots because it is not too demanding on the system

I will try the new version you emailed probably tomorrow I’d say………….

I will let you know as soon as I do 

Cheers

@Dinos22:I'm buying my new rig in Q3,when the 2nd price-cuts for the C2D's happened,but i'm not sure what mobo to get(think i'll purchase aE6850->due to the 1333Fsb or a Q6600):The new DFI-965S-Dark or one of those new P35 mobo's?And is this board capable of DDR3?I thought i read this somewhere but i'm not sure

wow Q3 is a LONG way away dude

plenty of time to consider our options

you will also see X38 chipset come out as well during that time

[bloodbanger]

yeah but i think X38 is going to be way overpriced...

[dinos22]

by that time i'm hoping my nvidia contacts will have a new revision of mobo to play with too

[TEDY]

you have LOGITECH ULTRA-X keyboad? :P

[dinos22]

nah just some good old Compaq OEM one

better than hipros ones anyways

Came across this one last night. Might be of interest to some of us... Will mount P5K Deluxe later this week and test with single stager and QX6700... The P5W DH Deluxe period is finally over, and I have to say this: God how I hated that MOBO! Can someone provide link or set up a "How to do things", "BIOS list" etc. etc. in first post...

I am looking forward to X38 and Intels DX38BT "Bone Trail" board. If it is sub $300 and feature rich I will be picking it up for my new build.

I am a little lost as far as when we can expect everything, like 45nm and X38 specifically. And when you say Q3 what do you mean? Actual quarters starting in January? Or fiscal year quarters? In which case this would be Q3.

I have read some conflicting reports on the X38, one saying there would be a DDR2 and 3 version, and another saying only DDR3.

Anyone have any info on this? Any info on when I can expect the board? 45nm quads

And yes I will be overclocking and posting results here, the money is ready

Intel's FY is the same as the calendar.

Q1 = Jan, Feb, Mar
Q2 = Apr, May, Jun
Q3 = Jul, Aug, Sep
Q4 = Oct, Nov, Dec

yeah interesting .....i don't know if vanilla uses the same layout and components

Hey boys
[*]NEED PENCIL MODS FOR VCORE >>>>>> DROOP IS TERRIBLE >>>>> BIOS SET 1.6V >> Windows Idle 1.55V >> Windows Load 1.48V

Did I read that the deluxe version has a bios switch to stop vdroop? I was waiting for the DFI infinity but since the next generation comes out before its available in the UK, I might go for this. Has a cpu upgrade path at least.

i already mentioned that it does not work with this mobo

i will try the pencil mod though

probably tonight along with testing the SetFSB that abo-san sent over

[megatron]

Sorry I only read the first page. This board has no bios switch for vdroop or its not working? Is it working on the deluxe?

[dinos22]

3 Important Updates:

1. Vdroop Pencil mod from above image WORKS >>>> before mod bios vcore 1.35, windows idle 1.288-1.296, windows load 1.24v >>> AFTER MOD, windows idle 1.304-1.312, load 1.28v (DID two strokes with 2B pencil)
2. Attention attention >>> i cannot boot with any of my PC4200 RAM with this motherboard >>> that is why it seems i couldn't get it going in first place >>> dominators i have are 8500 and 10000 and they work fine but none of the other sticks will boot regardless of what i do or set in bios>>> i;ve even combined with dominators and nah it won't work >>> You have to understand that my PC4200 RAM is all Micron D9GCT or D9GMH and can easily do 550-600MHz CAS5/4
3. SetFSB works >>> HERE IS THE SCREENSHOT DUMP abo-san

Couldn't the damper function support you in solving this problem?

my experiences:

damper function disabled --> 1.6V Bios --> 1. 55V idle --> 1.45V loaded
damper function enabled --> 1.6V Bios --> 1. 58V idle --> 1.57V loaded

Try with a SPD of PC2-5300

[dinos22]

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

your dominators 8500 and 10000 wich chip have?
i have 2x1gb OCZ VX2 DDR2 PC2-8000 / 1000 MHz 4\4\4\15 / Titanium Alpha / Voltage eXtreme 2.. do you think that i have problems with the p5k?

Which ddr 2 sticks was this with? Did you try the 5300 out yet?
