1st look on asus P5K-VM: G33 matx board (56K warning!)

I know about the Gigabyte BIOS because I am using it right now - release F4A adds these memory ratios:

FSB 1066: 1:1, 4:5, 2:3, 1:2
FSB 1333: 1:1, 5:6, 5:8

Overclocking is improved a little also.

Have you got some screens of those ratios?

Yegods, that PCB looks awful!

Nice results, though, I guess I could live with the eyesore for that FSB.

**PENNYW!SE** · 07-02-2007, 07:04 AM

Where you get it from? I have die GB too but have still F3 ... and i have FSB 800 CPU ...

**PENNYW!SE** · 07-02-2007, 07:09 AM

I see, its available in the HP but i cant dowload it ... can you upload it anywhere for us?

Those are AWESOME informations... The G33M from Gigabyte (who is severely memory limited thanks to the lack of dividers) recieving the "missing" 1:1 (500+ maybe?), G35 boards only one/two months away... Nice!

Btw, has anyone tried CrossFire with the G33? boards with the open-ended 4x slot? It should be the same thing as the P965 and P35 chipsets, it is the same configuration (except the shorter slot, but the secondary longer ones only give extra support on the P965/P35 boards...).

Cheers.

The P5K-VM is showing up instock here in the states now. Just can't decide what to do now. If the Gigabyte memory divider issues get fixed, it seems like a better buy. It actually comes with e-sata bracket & cable & I use e-sata alot.

**SoulsCollective** · 07-02-2007, 07:51 AM

I've worked with the G33M myself, and apart from the memory issues it's a sweet, sweet board.

Bios F4A beta for gigabyte available for download (unlocking ratio 1:1) :
I got it!!!

THX, i have it

But the GB-Link still doesnt work?!

**pvhk** · 07-02-2007, 08:04 AM

strange it works for me...

**The Nemesis** · 07-02-2007, 08:06 AM

Me too...

**PENNYW!SE** · 07-02-2007, 08:24 AM

Ive tried the new bios and no new memory-dividors for 800mhz cpus yet

But i think they will come soon, its just a beta ...

The GB-download works now

**The Nemesis** · 07-02-2007, 11:44 AM

This board is now available @newegg for $119.99 + Shipping.

800MHz memory dividers might show up in F5, still have a lot of tuning left to do with the F4x right now. After speaking with Gigabyte today they let the F4a go public on their site so they will support it, fairly solid beta after several days of testing.

I like it better than the ASUS, mainly from an options viewpoint but Gigabyte is committed to tuning the board now, we might even get a couple of additional voltage options in F5. I have not been able to clock as high as the ASUS board but they are working on it now, might get another beta spin later this week.

I run 378*9 in lownoise air with the MB. Really nice

**tam2** · 07-02-2007, 05:06 PM

Finally, got their attention to m-atx boards

I don't like the no ps2 keyboard port of the ASUS P5K-VM

There goes KVM switch support.

O I can fix that with one of those green usb-ps2 adaptors

I ordered from cheifvalue. Used $5 off coupon & got it for $121.32 shipped

**SunFlowerSeeds** · 07-03-2007, 05:44 PM

My PS2 KB is working on P5K-VM...

E6420 running 3.0GHz on this baby. I adjusted the vcore from auto to 1.275v and it run much cooler. CT reported core temp of 50c at hot summer inside Silverstone SG01 EVO cooled with NT06.
