Asus P5K Deluxe - Strap Changed @500FSB !

[eva2000]

EVA2000:

Most of the time I see you dissables PECI under Advance CPU Settings but this time I noticed that you've changed it to enabled. What makes you need to change it this time??

What sub-timings would you recommand to use on a daily basis (~2.2v and stock 533mhz speed)? I noticed you've 3-30-3-3-3 in your previous 600mhz+ configuration and now you've 2-25-2-2-2 in your current 500mhz configuration at only 2.15v. Do think 3-30-3-3-3 is the ideal sub-timing to use for me?

Thx

PECI enabled = lower cpu temps on cpus that support PECI, disabled = higher temps... for everyday i like memory that does 3-30-3-3-8 which is just slightly faster than AUTO

Any time you see the Stilt or Eva post in a thread you know there's going to be useful tips. Thanks for the in-depth analysis guys !

You're welcome

eva: I've noticed in your posts you are testing with only one SATA drive (Raptor 74) and that drive is on SATA port 2. Have you done any testing with a drive on port 1? Or better yet, with all ports populated?

I'm looking at three different boards ATM: P5K Dlx, P35-DQ6, and the IP35 Pro. I'm quite hesitant about the P5K because of the reported SATA issues. Have you discovered any SATA problems in your testing?

I have 4 SATA drives, though none are RAIDed.

I originally used SATA1 port but when i was testing 8800GTS it was cramped when SATA1 was used as i didn't use a right angle SATA cable so moved it over to SATA2 ... no diff between the two.. haven't tried all SATA in use as i'm running awfully low on spare hdds

@Eva2000, got the Ballistix in today, however, I tried your template and my system fails OC everytime. I've got a batch F4, not sure if that makes any difference.

tried in black dimm slot ?
