ASUS P5K Deluxe - Intel P35 Bearlake + E6600 B1 / Q6600 B3

[xs64]

Right now I'm at 453Mhz Mem 4-4-4-11-3-30-3-2-2 Vdimm 2.1v 1T. Nice option Command rate !
But some divider dont work in 1T.

Just put on 0311. My previous highest FSB post was 485x7. I am now able to post 500x7 with QX6700. Won't go into Windows yet, but that's substantially better if I do say so.

Edit add: Hmmm....I seem to be getting a tad more drop in voltage from what is set in BIOS to actual. I had to tick up BIOS vcore one notch to 1.5v to get the same volts in Windows under load now that I was getting under load before. No big deal really, as my ultimate volts and temps remain the same, but interesting if this is a characteristic of the new BIOS. Anyone else seeing this?

Yes, I noticed that as well.

Nice to see that 0311 seems to fix the sata raid issues on ich9r and all drives recognized.

Could somebody with a P5K Deluxe please measure the distance between those two screw holes? (The ones marked in red)

[mykeos]

p5k does seem great.I would love to see someone with ES sample of e6750/e6850 pu on it and clock the hell out of it on phase or dice.I'm really intereste d in how the OCing preformance would rise with 1333 strap proc and mobo.

[sofarfrome]

OR...it is going to be one heck of a compressed file..LOL

flash file for the deluxe is 2+ MB

Go to Form Factors... This will give you all of the standard mobo mount dimensions. files are pdf I believe.

anyone try 4x 1GB DIMMs with 1T Command Rate?

[MotF Bane]

Thanks OldGuy.

Soon as I get my board, I will try my 4x1GB dominators.... they didnt run too well on badaxe2 for me, so hopefully P35 will clear up any issues.

I noticed the drop between vcore set and vcore read in hardware monitor is substantial on this board. I don't understand why asus can't get this closer by now.

Anyone seen a guide for all the new voltage adjustment settings in the P5K bios yet? I'm not really sure what alot of them do.

Any memset ver that works with the p5K dlx?

Evga undervolts quite a bit as well, up to .05. This board seems to be about .02~.03 but actual under load droop seems quite good so I don't mind...

Can one of you gents that still has a functional board (yes, It appears I have killed mine) do a quick everest bandwidth test at 1T then at 2T? Maybe a quick SP 1M comparison as well?

set at 1.65v in bios gives me about 1.58 to 1.61 in pc probe. closer to 1.58 in bios hardware monitor. That's a big difference.

[xgman]

Can anyone tell me why in cpuz or any other monitoring program, my cpu multiplier and corresponding cpu mhz switch back and forth from 6x to 8x (set at 8x in bios) for no apparent reason, almost like speed step is on, but all that crap is turned off in bios and there isn't even a intel speedstep entry in the 0311 bios or am I crazy???

If I run wcpuclk it shows 4311.xxx the entire time in real time. The .xx's are constantly changing but the 4311 stays the same. With cpuz it switches from 3233 to 4311 back and forth. Crystal cpuid realtime clock switches back and forth too. So does Everest 4. What the heck???

Wow! Mine was nowhere near that...one of the better boards I've had of late in that regard.

Does anyone know if the EK-Mosfet Asus 1 coolers will fit this motherboard , thanks

[xgman]

nevermind about the bios check, it only shows when cpuratio control is at auto, and C1E support is why the multi keeps switching. duh . . .

[andyr(uk)]

Eva is this board worth buying over the original striker board for quad ?

[Speederlander]

Yes, I noticed that as well.

The FSB or the volts?

i have a 60x25mm sunon 23.5cfm Maglev fan over the NB heatsink.. even at 1.55v it's barely warm to touch ..

Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500
@600Mhz 5-5-5-15 at 2.2v

I couldn't find the Sunon 60mm KD1206PTV1 listed on any site here in the US. Even if I could I'm not sure how I would attach it to the NB heatsink as it measures about 35x35mm and my motherboard is in a case.

I've had bad luck with my Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500. I've isolated my problem to one module that won't pass Memtest+86 v1.70 at DDR2-1067. The other stick ran fine for over 5 hours.

While I was testing I checked the NB temperature and it got as high as 51c. While running Orthos my load MB temperature has got as high as 48c. I need to find some kind of solution.

I flashed my BIOS to 0311 and it was almost the same harrowing experience as when I tried 0307. I again got the bad checksum when I booted. This time I cleared the CMOS as per manual, F1 to the BIOS, loaded my defaults and booted. I flashed the 0311 BIOS again as I noticed several setting messed up. That must have done the trick as it is now booting properly.

Get a fan on the RAM and/or somewhere that gets airflow under the board. My Prime95 blend mobo temps went from 52C to 32C as measured by Asus PC Probe. That was crazy. The board is out of the case right now and the fan gets air on both the ram and under the board so I'm not sure which one contributes more.

[Speederlander]

Can somone running bios 0411 check in the cpu section and tell me whether they still have "Intel speed step" entry or not? It appears that speedstep is running even though I see no way in bios 0311 to enable or disable it. Speedstep is alos disabled in Vista completely.

nevermind about the bios check, it only shows when cpuratio control is at auto, and C1E support is why the multi keeps switching. duh . . .

Where did you get BIOS 0411?

[chriskurn]

It's not called Speed Step in the bios.

Try--> C1E Suppport: Disabled

[chriskurn]

Yes, where did you get 411?

I am running 304, and just dl'd 311 !

Major problem with my P5K deluxe.

I'm running an E6600 @ 3.6ghz using 1.3625V (1.33V in Windows)

RAM @ 1200mhz 2.25V Crucial Tracer 1000mhz

If I leave the Asus probe open, every 5 to 10 minutes I get the "alarm sound" and the Vcore shows as 1.7 or 1.65 V. I stop the alarm and the Vcore reads normal again.

What the hell is going on?

Bios 311 BTW (I don't know about the previous bios. never had PCProbe open for a long time)
