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

[xgman]

The only problems I have had with this board are the slow usb initialization at post (much worse that the P5B) and occaisional boot with no video even though I see the blue light (vid signal good) on the monitor.

Suddenly I cannot alter the FSB! Well, it shows my alterations, but whatever changes i make are not carried out. It shows the fsb in bios, but does not alter the cpu speed.
It changes the memory speed though.

Just tried setting fsb to 800. posts with no problems. showed ram as 1600 on post. shows cpu as 2.4.

Using setFSB in windows also does not make any difference at all.

Everything else seems to work fine. It's just i can not overclock at all.
Previously i have had 465 with my e6600 giving me 4188.
I have had a reinstall of windows and flashed to 0501.
Now i've flashed back to 0404 and 0311 all make no difference.
Is my mobo fried in some way? Both the NB & SB are water cooled.

My suggestion would be to clear the CMOS leaving the battery out for an extended period of time.

When I have what I think is a BIOS related problem I first try to clear the CMOS leaving the battery in and when that doesn't work then I pull the battery and go to bed!
