    Asus Enables Tons of Boards to Support the 1333 FSB. - P35, 965, 975, 650i and 680i

    seems like Asus is enabling support for 1333 FSB's on tons of boards, even boards that dont officially support the 1333 FSB.

    among this list are most 965 and 975 board, Nvidia 650 and 680i boards, and all P35's.
    more boards are coming to the list too, I hear...

    Gigabyte is doing the same, when the first 1333MHz FSB CPUs were announced, only the P965-DS4 Rev3.3 officially supported it.

    I checked recently and Gigabyte are testing the 1333MHz FSB cpu in the Rev1.0 and Rev2.0 versions, I guess same applies to the DS3/DQ6

    no idea on Penryn though

    I have the P5B DLX also, currently debating E6850 (Now that I know its supported) or Q6600 as the end life processor for this board. But if what you say is true then I'll stick it out with my 6400 and wait for Wolfdale, so official word before July 22nd would be great timing for me!

    hey gryle, welcome to XtremeSystems

    well did asus actually change something?
    I mean those boards could run fsb 1333 and way higher before as well... from what i can see all they changed is "putting an extra sticker on the box"

    its nice that they add official support for their legacy boards tho

    Maybe they updated the microcode or added CPU detection for the new CPUs

    According the a thread in the Intel Section
    http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...6&postcount=36

    The new BIOS does in fact give support for 45nm! Happy days are here again!

    What about the rumored new VRM that would be needed for Penryn?
    Seems we made our greatest error when we named it at the start
    for though we called it "Human Nature" - it was cancer of the heart
    CPU: AMD X3 720BE@ 3,4Ghz
    Cooler: Xigmatek S1283(Terrible mounting system for AM2/3)
    Motherboard: Gigabyte 790FXT-UD5P(F4) RAM: 2x 2GB OCZ DDR3 1600Mhz Gold 8-8-8-24
    GPU:HD5850 1GB
    PSU: Seasonic M12D 750W Case: Coolermaster HAF932(aka Dusty )

    Doesn't have to do with that. If your board clocks to 333mhz and doesn't have the necessary 1333 FSB support your M/B won't boot the 1333 FSB cpu anyway. You need a bios with 1333 FSB support or else you will have to get use to a black screen while you try to boot.
    Intel FTW!

    wrong, people were running these CPUs in boards before the 1333 supporting BIOS were issued (& in many cases afaik it's just a case of an identifier string, you have to manually setup the BIOS)

    "In order to run FSB1333, you can manually set the BIOS to the configuration below:"

    I have a new Asus P5K Deluxe coming next week that I want to use with an E6750. According to these links I will need at least the 0404 BIOS for 1333 FSB.

    http://www.asus.com/news_show.aspx?id=7866
    http://event.asus.com/mb/fsb1333/

    The CPU Support page shows that the E6750 needs the 0311 BIOS.
    Click image for larger version.

    Any idea why there's a difference between the CPU Support page and the 1333 FSB info?

    If this board comes with the 0202 BIOS will I be able to get into the BIOS with the E6750 so I can flash whichever BIOS that I need?
