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

[dinos22]

sorry, but Quad results waiting for.. the mobo is dead allright. or something problem with it, dont boot w/ Q6600 ES, E6400 retail cpu's

outch

yeah try as many RAM modules as you can

and try bending the boards too lol

I tryd since only with D9GMH, and Hynix, tomorrow I try with GKX and Elpida, we will see, but If dont boot I try droop it from 10 meter in the trash

[mouawad]

my 4x1gb of crucial d9gmh are working fine on the board @ 415fsb so far.

2x1gb corsair 5300c4 promos were no hassle too.

what are they rated at

What about 500fsb with the 4x1GB crucial? I want to know how high this board will clock with 4 1GB DIMMs.

[Achill3uS]

what are they rated at

533 CL4 HP rams with GMH ic
and A-Data PC8500 5-5-5-15 EPP (GMH)

Hynix is 667 CL5 but dont sure

why is it important?

[x800pro6]

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





[/SIZE][/COLOR]

Is there a 1:1 ram ratio or lower ?

[jabski]

1:1 is the lowest

yes please post results

I have some questions regarding the boot behaviour.

In what way does the boot but affect the board? How does a cold boot look like and what about a windows restart? And finally, how does it behave after BIOS changes? Does it affect the whole FSB range? My P5WD2 Premium does that when the FSB is 243 or higher, only.

Did anybody with DDR2-533 have success with a working combo? What about a new BIOS?

My P5K does at default settings 450FSB.

I have sucess running my Micron DDR2-533 running at 1220Mhz cl5-5-5-15 2,5V.
I used "Thaiphoon Burner 3.1" (http://cbid.amdclub.ru/) to change the SPD to DDR2-667 and it worked.

I tried my Infineon Sticks DDR2-533, they won't work. I tried to give them a DDR2-667 or DDR2-800 SPD by using thaiphoon burner and have no sucess.


So everbody who can't use the DDR2-533 sticks:
1. save the SPD using thaiphoon burner
2. edit the SPD to minimum DDR2-667
3. reboot and enjoy your new sticks

i am not sure i understand exactly what your question is but they seems to behave similar to P5B ....maybe a few extra powerdowns

no cold boot issues for me...seems to remember everything properly

good to know

[Pretender]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I just flashed my bios from windows to 0304 bios , because my board wasn't booting below 500 fsb and now it won't post :S i've tried clear rtc ram like it says in the manual, but it won't boot.

Any suggestions?
Thanks

[hot_fifty]

you can reduce vdroop like eva2000 did.. in cpu setting -> Cpu voltage damper -> enable

[Pretender]

you don´t understand!!
I can't even access to bios, it powers up and thats it, the screen stays black and the normal boot procedure doesn't happen, it won't POST

[dinos22]

you board wasn't booting below 500MHz FSB

i'm on 0304 bios as well and everything seems a ok

[Pretender]

Weird, It wasn't booting and i was ready to sent it to RMA, and i put a floppy in the floppy drive, the floppy and the board booted, the floppy didn't had the bios, so i don't understand what happened, but i'm happy again because my board is alive

[Pretender]

Hi again ;P
I just find out why i could't boot under 500fsb, if i have the transaction booster option enabled and set to 1 i couldn't boot under 500.
If that option is in auto mode i can boot under 500

Dear friend, did you use the Timing Table Editor in Thaiphoon Burner to edit the SPD? I ask you because the easiest way to change the highest RAM clock in the SPD is to use TTE instead of Thaiphoon’s HEX Editor. Just press F9 and begin changing the first Cycle Time parameter. Than press Next button and select the final step.

Danke sehr! ;-)

yes, it's not nessecary to use a hexeditor.
just with TTE, edit the Cycle Time to 3.0 ns for 333 Mhz.
that's it

bitte sehr

great

transaction booster is supposed to increase your RAM bandwidth and improve RAM benches heh so the fact you could only boot past 500MHz is a little odd heh

[eva2000]

unless transaction booster enabled means tightening sub timings to get the memory bandwidth boost... then enabling it on ram with inadequate vdimm voltage or too tight subtimings might cause the problem

the thing that strikes me as odd George is that if it does that why would he not be able to post below 500MHz and was able to post above 500MHz lol

[eva2000]

Maybe memory or NB couldn't handle it ?? especially if he was using AUTO or low volt settings ???

couldn't handle low clocks i'm confused
