Asus P5K Premium + Retail E6850 - Air Cooled - some reasonable results

**Pedro Rocha** · 07-31-2007, 04:53 PM

Here are the results of my quick test of the P5K PREMIUM P35 WiFi-AP that I'm using for a OC Mini-Review

After a not so good experience with the P5K Deluxe (PWM and Mosfest area became very hot and make the OC CPUs unstable) I have some expectations about the P5K Premium since it uses the following new components:

- 8Layer PCB
- Nikos Mosfets
- TRIO 1R1 Inductor
- 6.3v/561uf Solid-Alu-Cap

Hot summer here (around 27ºC now at night) but anyway here are some Air Cooled results with a Retail E6850 - L719B027

First the photo of the setup:

Some Bios photos:

After updating the bios I do 2 or 3 mins basic adjustments in Bios and get this:

SuperPI at 4.200MHz with the CPU on AIR and with just 1.54v (in Windows) in a hot summer night is not to bad

The new electronic components and 8Layer PCB seems to make the diference in terms of overclocking.

Here is the bandwith with my Corsair 8500C5 not opitimized at all.

Later I will do some 3D benchs and will post here..

I ordered this board yesterday to use with my G0 Q6600, nice to see it's already doing well. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Crank down that multi and tell us what kind of max FSB you can get out of it Pedro. I am SO tired of waiting for Blitz to show up somewhere in the US, I am seriously thinking of buying one of these instead.
