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

I wonder what the performance of X38 is like 400x9 with 3-3-3-6 settings. I dunno if it will handle the same as 975X did, because numbers shot through the roof using those settings.


P5K premium here tomorrow

I previously did the same on my deluxe - used Asus update flash as I was in a hurry with the same results under Vista X64. Still I also got the premium which is a better board - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...eply&p=2424177 you should be able to get the best out of your quad on it. BIOS 0204 is latest for this board by the way. EZflash with USBstick worked fine.

Did asus give you the premium in place? Or did you take a 200$ hit?

I RMA'd to my UK retailer SCAN who gave me a full refund - very nice of them as I thought I was going to be out of pocket. I pointed out that I was not the only one who have had flash failure on the deluxe MB. Its not asus flash - I have used Asus update many times on the P5W DH with no problems but after the failure on a MB with a soldered chip I will always flash from dos or use ezflash with a USB stick from now on.
