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

[sponge bob]

what batch/pack date is your E6850 ?

L723A

i have been having a problem with opening control panel in vista when my rig is over clocked

P5K, e6750@3600

When i try to open it it just flashes up and then goes in a second, i know others have had this prob but unless i missed somethng no one has found the answer, well if you type (control ncpa.cpl users) into CMD it will open up netwok connections in control panel and you can then select anything in contorl panel you like, not ideal but the best work around i have found.

hope this help someone as this has been @*#xing me right off

[situman]

Usually that means its unstable. Try giving it a little move volts or lowering your clocks a little. Sometimes that extra 50mhz will give u the biggest headaches.

Is that with Vista 32 or 64?

I had raise the core voltage to 1.525v and cpu pll to 1.7v before I could get 4 hours of of stability with my e6750@3600. I'm not sure this would be stable for say 24 hours. I'd bet your system isn't stable.

Does Asus update this board anymore? lol

[Leeghoofd]

you expecting a bios update each month ? or after each user has an issue ...

[Ace-a-Rue]

Does Asus update this board anymore? lol

hmmm...Asus and the P5K bailing on you?

[Pokerjo]

I have not had a lot of time to do stability testing since i have put my 6750 in but it has passed 8hrs+ of orthos (450fsb x 8 @1.5v) this cpu will do 497fsb, but i am new to ocing so will try and drop back to 3500 to see if this helps

This is in vista 32

Looks like the vanilla P5K had a recent bios update or two since the Dlx 501. That one is up to 603 now.

does anyone have a temperature difference between cores (Q6600)?
i'm getting 4 to 7C diff. from cores 0&1 against 2&3 cores.
core0-29
core1-28
core2-23
core3-24

are these normal? i'm reading them from speedfan 4.32
thanks for any reply

Yea I have temp differences on both cores on my E6420 too

Just looking for a bios that might eek out a little bit more performance, however I am only waiting on X38 and see how it does with quad, if thats a no go its P5K premium or blitz for me

[andyr(uk)]

I hear the premium board is the best overclocker even compared to the blitz but what does it give over the deluxe ?

[CERO]

I hear the premium board is the best overclocker even compared to the blitz but what does it give over the deluxe ?

Better cooling, due to better components around socket area and no more mosfets @ the back, which results in a even better stability ( for Quads) then a Deluxe would do, and some folks got some SATA RAID probs with this board, maybe they fixed in the Premium( I dunno for that part tho). its more like ( well it seems sofar) that Asus had put the Deluxe a side, and instead working on a new BIOS with improvements ( yes still waiting), they made a "bugfixed Deluxe" voila:
Asus P5K Premium..

Any issues with P5K Deluxe 0404 and eSATA? Picked up a eSATA enclosure today, plugged it in, it showed up fine on the first boot, after vista took a look at things, it wanted me to reboot to get things going, so I did, and after that the drive wouldn't show up at boot. The jmicron controller would sit there looking for a drive, but wouldn't see it. Tried powercycling the enclosure. It may just be a POS enclosure, I'll take it back to Frys and maybe pay more the next time, heh, but was just looking to see if there were any eSATA issues out there. Didn't find anything when I searched.

[safan80]

I can't even get the jmicron controller to see my Esata drive.

Same here. Though I KNOW my TRU120X is loose,
so I'm sure my temperatures could be better.
Right now :
Idle @ 1.06V / 1.60 GHz:
Core 0 34
Core 1 34
Core 2 28
Core 3 32

And the ~ 7C to ~ 8C difference maintains even
at higher loads and frequencies.

Oddly there's usually a several (4-5) degree temperature difference even between Core2 and Core 3 which
should be on the same die. I wonder if my heat sink
grease isn't spread well over that die or what.

I know I don't have a Quad core like you but my E6420 has core 0 run @ 28C & Core 1 runs at 32C idle. I wouldn't worry too much about it

I wouldn't expect anymore updates till penryn comes out.

I think the esata issue is with the system. In this OS, with the drive plugged into an internal connection, it was xfering around 40MB/s. I went and got an esata to sata cable and connected that to the drive, using just the enclosure for power. Enabled the esata controller, it saw the drive on boot. Vista told me to restart again to use it, restarted, drive still shows up, so I thought maybe it was the enclosure. But when I tried to transfer a 1.6GB file off the drive, it would only do it at 1-3MB/s, sheesh.

something like this is a good idea to try & even out the core temps on wc rgs.. Thermalright LGA775 Bolt-Thru-Kit reduces mobo warping across cpu area so that at least all cores are level & flush with heatsink.
Have seen many get more even temps by tweaking the tightness of their nuts

i dont really think it has something to do with the tighness or the thermal grease(though it should improve cooling)i had those readings with my stock hsf and still have them temp difference with the lapped tuniq.
