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

[cuprasport]

the bios that ships with the p5k will run the chip but you need a bios update to get it to be full 1333 fsb

Is this P5K board hotter than usual? Mine is running low 40s idle and 60 under load. While my processor is actually cooler than expected (~25 idle).

Should I worry about the 60C loaded? Would this be an airflow issue? What's a normal max temp for the MB?

Just want to share my OC results: After some tweaking, I finally was able to hit 400FSB at 1.4875 Vcore. My temps under Orthos load can spike up to 62C, but generally remain below 60. It is the middle of summer and I'm located in the hottest room in the house, so I'm pleased with the temps for now. I know 400FSB wont turn any heads here, but it's the highest I've ever gone. Thank you to all of the great members here who were of great help to me. I don't post much, so you wouldn't even know!

Anyone know if there is a known problem on this board on the CPU temperature sensor monitoring. My Speedfan CPU reading has been suddenly jumping from about 38c idle up into the 80-90's whilst still showing core0 and core1 temps at about 22c.? This is whilst not running anything in particular. Yes - I have checked the HSF and it fine.

Also appreciate if anyone can tell me exactly what the CPU PLL voltage setting in BIOS is for.

Get a second opinion! Try one or more other apps to see if you get the same results. That will tell you if SpeedFan has gone nuts or you need to check that HSF again.

PLL - Phased-Locked Loop

the phase-locked loop block is a feedback control system that automatically adjusts the phase of a locally generated signal to match the phase of an input signal. PLLs operate by producing an oscillator frequency to match the frequency of an input signal. In the locked condition, a slight change in the input signal first appears as a change in phase between the input signal and the oscillator frequency. This phase shift then acts as an error signal to change the frequency of the local PLL oscillator to match the input signal.

This is my guess. Somewhere on that motherboard is a circuit that is trying to maintain a constant CPU voltage and this option allows us to adjust the voltage to that circuit. Any second opinions on that?

I would agree depending on the oc to get the voltage stable I have to use 1.6 or 1.7 pll voltage. I think the circuit is the regs under the top heatsink because when I use 1.7 pll voltage it heats up like crazy.

Great overclock buddy 3.6GHz with the P5K will give you a stomping quick 24/7 rig.

I have a similar setup but I dropped the multiplier to 8 & bumped the fsb to 450 for a nice boost in bandwidth & a drop in latency.

My temps with a Thermalright extreme 120 are about the same with 1.5v

Heres my rig specs & some 3D benchies for comparison.
