Asus P5B (vanilla) Overview

[Timbosan]

Mine is stable at 490, flaky at 495, not anything stable at 500 and wont do more than 520. I dont know if this is due to the board or cpu either. Im only at 1.384v for 490 FSB.....ram is good for 1200 MHz 5-5-5-15 @ 2.1v (tested)........only thing i can think is the board is at its limit. I find it hard to believe ive hit my cpu's FSB wall with only 1.384v, and the ram has much more in it.

Thank you! , i thought maybe i was doing something wrong, now i also believe it´s the mobo wall, even if it is the mobo wall, it´s not bad at all, a board that was designed(was it?) to do 1066 doing almost 2000 stable, can´t say it´s a bad mobo...
I´m also thinking on buying a p5k, maybe closer to christmas(new mobo and low ambient ), the perfect combination.
Keep it up!

Mine does 548-550 32M stable, I think more but that is CPU fsb wall. Here is a SS of 530, and can boot at this FSB np.

If you can boot at 530fsb, how are you reaching 548-550? Did they finally find a way to oc this board in Windows? I gave up on mine and stuck it in the kids computer because there was no way to OC in Windows
