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

[RLM]

Benchzowner did some volt readings on the P5K3 Deluxe, I think it should reflect to the P5K deluxe.

here are his findings:

BIOS Set to | BIOS Shows | Real Idle | Real Load
1.35V | 1.336Vs | 1.333Vs | 1.335V & 1.336V |
1.40V | 1.384Vs | 1.383Vs | 1.384V & 1.385V & 1.386V |
1.45V | 1.432V & 1.440V | 1.435V & 1.436V | 1.435V & 1.436V

BIOS Set | | Real Voltage |
1.80V | 1.867V
1.85V | 1.920V & 1.921V
1.90V | 1.953V & 1.954V

As u can see, is that the real volts are pretty close to what the bios shows( cpu-z). And that it is a sure thing the board is overvolting the Dimms

Not sure that is the case.

After reading this and also reports of the P5K deluxe killing ram, I needed to check for myself.

I don't know how accurate my readings are, but with a mm my readings are.

Bios Set | Real Bios | Real OS
2.25 | 2.23 | 2.23
2.1 | 2.1 | 2.1

Obviously not all P5K deluxes are going to be the same, but these readings are somewhat re-assuring. For me anyway

Hi guys, just would like a quick yes/no here.

I'm still on 0311. I want to try get some more out of perhaps 0503 (i understand its the latest).

1. Can you go back to older bios with no trouble on this board?

2. If i'm expecting a bit more, am I stupid?

Would doing the vdroop pencil mod have any negative long term effects ? Are there any advantages to doing this mod ?

1 yes you can flash back.

2 im still on 311 because it wrks so fine why change

Where are the measuring points for vcore & vdimm on the p5k dlxe. Usually check them , but not got round to it yet.

thanks

In my experience the higher numbered bioses work with quad cores better than 311 does.

A couple of 3d mark benches.

3Dmark 06 8800 GTX 675/1620/1075



3Dmark03 8800 GTX 660/1566/1060



Not world beaters, but still happy.

heh RLM yea it was on a P5K3 Deluxe tho, but I thought it might reflect to the P5K Deluxe, but I could be wrong as u stated they are pretty much the same as real, hmz about P5K Deluxe killing ram? I dunno about it at least not noticed, I just hope mine ballistix would last me some time. Before upgrading to DDR3, if this rumor is true:X

I've just bought my new mobo, the asus p5k deluxe wifi-ap, but my i'm a bit confused and concerned, does this motherboard really runs that hot? i mean, it's running extremely hot compared to my old good one p5w dh deluxe, even with everything on stock clocks, the cpus runs hotter compared to my p5wdh deluxe, and the cpu seems to get hotter pretty much faster when it's under load compared to the p5wdh deluxe, my cooler is a thermaltake bigtyphoon, and before putting the cpu onto the motherboard, i put a new thermal paste on it, and everything, so, that's not the problem, anyone here knows if this is normal? (My cpu is a Q6600 (B3) + ASUS P5K Deluxe wifi). Thanks. And eva, congratz for the topic, extremly useful and helpful.
