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

First, I would like to say thanks to Eva and all the gurus here for this complete thread. It has help me a lot.
But here is the reason of this post:
I was testing my beloved L629B when I come to this strange (at least for me) behavior on this motherboard.

Fsb at 413 x 9 I got 3717
Fsb at 414 x 9 I got 3312
Fsb at 415 x 9 I got 3735


tested twice, fsb set in bios. For some reason at 414, the multi switchs to 8 by itself.
I need some feedback on this, Is anyone else getting this issue? Is this some kind of strap thing or something related?
Bios is 311, I have all the options at the cpu menu at disabled, only PECI is enabled.


I had a similar thing with a P5WDH.. at 414 and 416 it booted ok, but at 415 was a no go.

You are right monza1412 !

The same here :
Fsb at 413 x 9, I got 3717 with np
Fsb at 414 x 9, I got 3312 (9 x 368) !!!!
Fsb at 415 x 9, I got 3735 with np

Also at (414 x 9) = 3312 (9 x 368) with static read control enabled : not boot !
These trials with bios 311, later I will try with 501.

Very strange issue !

Edit : exactly the same with 501 bios [at 414 x 9, I got 3312 (9 x 368)]

yes, its a strange issue, maybe someone will come with a logic explanation.
Anyway, using only 414 of fsb its a shame in this motherboard

Indeed, same here with Q6600 CPU. Booting +400MHz is a problem to on my board, though, runs wprime just fine at 450MHz.
