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

[vincey2kr1]

Anyone know were INtel Speedstep is in the bios or windows so i can turn off?

[eva2000]

Damn "labs" you people run sometimes

Never leave home without a home made bench lab

I am running Vista 64 at the moment, though XP 32 has shown suspicously high mobo temps. Asus probe is the one off their install disk. Chip is QX6700. BIOS is 311.

I don't get the Asus at Service bug.

Anyone get the WIFI to work using the Asus software? I can see my router but can't connect to it. It doesn't appear to be saving my security settings in the profile for that ssid.

If this doesn't work I guess I can remove the asus software and try getting driver from realtek. Freakin A. Everything else is butter though, I just want to get rid of the network cable since I have the wireless built in.

BUMP; anyone get wifi drivers/software to load on p5k deluxe w/ Vista 64-bit (x64); no go for me.

Anyone have a problem getting 4gbs of RAM stable on this board without memtest errors? It will run Orthos all day long with no problem, but memtest errors soon as I use 4GB, all sticks pass with flying colors, the board itself just doesnt seem to like 4gb, or memtest has a problem with this chipset.

[Ace-a-Rue]

could be memtest since the P35 chipset is very new.

Thats what I figured....

did you enable the memory remap as memtest could of been testing the wrong areas in memory map ?



Also loosen sub timings don't use AUTO and raise vdimm, NB volts and if you have high end video cards try raising SB volts.. just general steps I'd do.. haven't tested 4GB yet on this board

[Speederlander]

I'm testing 8 gig with no issues yet.

[ChaosMinionX]

Well after I got done being lazy messing with voltages and trying to get it right, I finally decided to individually test each stick at stock settings....turns out I have 1 defective stick, the other 3 memtest all day long without a hitch...I think this stick is a remnant of the Bad Axe 2 eating my ram. This will be the 5th stick fallen victim to the BX2 of this make (6400C3DF). That damn 3rd slot I bet, anyways I will get this sorted out, other than that everything is working good now.

Thanks for the input

EDIT: And I never use AUTO for anything, cept if I knew what the voltage references were supposed to be set at, I would haha and that overvolt control thing in the BIOS, anyways I got some findings on my ram I will post with this board.

I found a work around; I got the WI FI running through Vista x64. I didn't (although I couldn't) even install the wifi-ap Solo application. Vista did it all.
The wife connects as a "Station"

However, since there is no software installed, I have no idea how to make it act as an AP. This will need further investigation, when I have time.

[eva2000]

for stability run winxp pro sp2 with drivers off supplied P5K DX cd-rom

Tomorrow I will get my P5K deluxe, is the Onboard LAN ( thought it was the Marvell) good? I really have no clue, or should I buy a seperate network LAN card.

Hi all, I have a somewhat newbie Raid question. I also posted this over on the Asus forums, but thought I would post here too. As well wasn't sure I should make a new post, or keep on topic of this thread since this is the mobo I'm running.

Any way I have a simple 2 drive Raid 0 setup in my system, everything works great so far. But was curious when I was poking around in the Intel Matrix Manager program, it shows both my drives operating at "Transfer mode 1", which is Sata 150, and I bought Sata 300 drives. Now maybe this is the way raid works? Or should they be operating at Transfer Mode 2, which might squeak out a bit better performance. Thanks for any info.

Well it has dual LAN; Realtek, and Marvell. I'm using the Marvell. And it seems to work ok for me. But I'm just a home user with limited transferring files around between computers.

Don't know if it should be running on transfer mode 1 or 2 but I'll check out what Matrix Manager reports for my raid0 setup when I go home tonight. I cant see why any raid setup should limit the speed from 3gb/s to 1,5gb/s though.

some drives have jumper configurations to change betweem mode 1 and 2...seagate's 7200.10 series comes to mind...it has a small white jumper that has to be removed in order to put it in SATA 300 mode.

Anyway tried 2x1GB Team 6400C3 D9GMH + 2x1GB G.Skill 6400PHU2 HZ D9GMH @490mhz 4-4-4-9 2-25-2-2-4 on P5K Deluxe to compare with 2x1GB OCZ PC2-9200 FlexXLC @490mhz 4-4-4-9 2-25-2-2-2 on same board (FlexXLC handles tight tRTP like a champ!).

Probably not as huge a difference due to tightness of the subtimings ?



vs

[Ace-a-Rue]

i am not that convinced that this board is really any faster than some of the P965 boards like abit's AB9 QuadGT...other than higher FSB's that is about the extent of it!

here is a Q6600, 32M SuperPI at 410 FSB with 4-4-4-15-22 set.

[eva2000]

nah it is faster at certain dividers which 965P don't have - also you're using wrong version of super pi for comparisons

[Ace-a-Rue]

why would the wrong version produce different results?

[eva2000]

cause it does ... try v1.5 and see http://www.xtremesystems.com/pi/

try Q6600 @3430Mhz and @3600Mhz

[Ace-a-Rue]

you have me smiling now...beat you to it ....LOL

here is the Abit Ab9 QuadGT with 5-4-4-15-22..in all its glory....what's next eva?

[eva2000]

that's @3690mhz not @3600Mhz and only beat my 3429Mhz score by 5s with 260mhz advantage on cpu! here!

[Ace-a-Rue]

OK, then...set your board up with 9 times and 410 FSB and let it rip!

i know this is hard to take! ..hey!...i just purchased an Abit IP35 pro board...should have it tomorrow...we'll see the differences for sure.

all i am saying is that you are getting higher FSB and that is all i can see from the board...Abit's version is probably going to do the same...NOW...i will be happy if i have to use less voltage to hold the same FSB of 390 with my Q6600...i will be using the same CPU on the IP35 but i will be using a new HS, the TR Ultra 120 Extrme instead of the Tuniq 120.

let you know how the IP35 differs from the QuadGT.
