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

[dinos22]

Those are Anandtech results, not mine:

http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets...oc.aspx?i=2991

SPI results are not that good, but gaming tests are.

have you looked at his testing method

it created the difference due to incorrect settings

the chipset is NOT faster

[CERO]

Any one know if the Mushkin XP2 8500 (D9MGH) will works on this board or the Deluxe , since there are some rumors that these boards are pretty RAM picky!

@@@@NELLY

i have p5k dlx and OCZ FLEX 9200 and working VERY well
1188 a 2.25 V
Tested my corsair 9136 and worse. need morevolts to do the same...
ocz work also at 1200 with 2.25
at 1270 need certainly more volts bec errors at test 5 on memtest
So i'm happy with theses rams, and absolutly cold !!! i ise a corsair fan on it btw....

Thats great news thanks for the info

How many sticks of ram are you using? 2 or 4?

That's a good news, can't wait to get my p5k and see how they run. Did you use auto settings or a particular one ?

[Zulusman]

Guys, got big prob...
My P5k DLX works fine except one thiny thing...
My mems wont go higher than 1060.
Got two pairs of sticks: Gskill Hz 6400 & Crucial AE.
No mather witch bios/div/Vmem/Vmch/timing/etc i`ll use, always gets that same - freez(setFSB)/no boot(bios).
Any idea ?

anyone knows if asus gonna have bios that support 1:1? can't boot on my 533 rams

[ziddey]

why you say it doesn't have 1:1?

[dinos22]

anyone knows if asus gonna have bios that support 1:1? can't boot on my 533 rams

it supports 1:1

but the mobo is not compatible with some 533 RAM modules

none of mine work at all >>> I have 8xsticks and none of them will boot at any setting)

[Shrekogre]

which bios ver are u using? the only divider i saw is 667 and 800. no 533.

wow

really

0202, 0302

i have to try the latest one as well soon 0406 i think it's called

[Shrekogre]

ok found the "bug"

any fsb below 295 it will not show 1:1. thats why all 533 stick can't boot. If using native 333fsb cpu I believe should have no problem.

i see

if you read my testing there is a strap change at 293MHz and that's where the RAM Ratios change too

[ziddey]

If you have access to another motherboard, reprogram the spd on your 533 sticks to support 667. Then they'll boot fine.

already tried on 1 stick and working fine. just that i wanna solve the problem on the mobo side. now i guess i have to flash

How incorrect?
I believe anand is wrong, because all other sites that reviewed p35 mainboards didnt show any relevant performance difference vs 965.

i have to test this but from initial findings the new chipset is certainly not faster in any way..........if anything it is a little slower BUT BUT BUT BUT i have to tweak the out of the bios first before i can say that comfortably


Wesley is a great reviewer and i respect his opinion. I do think that the review is a little misleading because of the settings used and they are spelt out by the reviewer clearly, however, people are freaking lazy and they see the damn graphs like the guy in this thread and post it as evidence

that's the problem here

but once again i would trust Anandtech's reviews more than any other site as long as the testing methodology is sound

I really enoy their reviews and technical articles. Yet sometimes their results are different than any other site

They made some interesting new tests with the kingston low latency dd3 memory which sounds methodically correct to me.

Keep in mind that SPI tests basically dont show differences.

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
   
   

do you think that i can do this mod also with Conductive paint ?

hi
New bios P5K Deluxe on ftp Asus ;>

0311

PLS PLS PLS can people not post P5K DLX bioses here as the thread is about P5K vanilla just in case someone accidentally flashes the wrong bios

[Varsos]

0311.................added Command Rate 1T/2T

I know gravedigger said he was gonna post his results a couple of posts back but can anyone confirm if Crucial Ballistix 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400 800MHz DDR2 Desktop Memory works for the P5K. Just jumped on the deal since it was $85 after MIR at buy.com

Crucial doesn't show it as one of there 40 compatible memory upgrades for either of these ASUS P5K motherboards:

ASUS P5K Motherboard

ASUS P5K Deluxe/WiFi-AP Motherboard
http://www.crucial.com/store/listpar...e%2FWiFi%2DAP#

If there 2GB DDR2-1067 kit does then why wouldn't there 2GB DDR2-800 kit work?

Nopez, conductive paint will reduce resistance to zero, and that's not what you want!
