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

[raidflex]

Recently I just purchased another set of these G.Skill F2-6400PHU1-2GBHZ's to go with the set I already had so I could run 4GB. Only reason I didn't get 2x2GB was because I already had these nice 2x1GB set. I figured I would try the settings that have been rock stable for me for over 4 months. My original setup was 9x390 DDR@ 1170 2.2V. After I put in the extra 2GB the system would not evne boot correctly anymore. I attempted to experiment with different settings but still even at DDR 975 4-4-4-12 which was stable before I put in the extra RAM didn't work.

Anytime I would run Prime 25.5(blend) It would fail after about 1 HR at the most, sometimes within a minute.

The one thing i'm not sure what to set is the sub timings which have stayed on AUTO and worked without problems.

If there are certain known sub timings that work with the HZ's please by all means provide some input on these or any other settings that might help.

Current BIOS is 603

Before this current setup the only difference was the memory was at DDR 1170 2.2V and 5-5-5-15 and this ran months without issues rock stable but with the extra 2GB of memory it would not even boot at these settings.

Any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Has anyone put penryn in this board yet?

If any of you are gamers, have you had a weird whining sound when in game that disappears when you go to desktop ?

I get a squealing or whining when I stress the CPU hard - squealing coming from PSU as well as the mobo when I push the FSB and voltage...could it be the sound of the mofsets or caps working hard?

I get a squealing whenever the CPU is put on load. It drives me crazy if it's on my main station, as that just sits out on my desk on a Tech Station, so I make sure it's always in one of the secondary rigs that's inside a case, so it isn't so noticeable.

Do you hear this sound with or without headphones on , this sound is coming through my headphones.

I get a whine off my boards, Pw5DH, P5E when stress testing with various 3DMark programs. Always have.

It is not loud only present.

Also with Everest, you got 24,xxx on CPU Queen, I only get 11xxx my OC is close to yours, but the program is not designed for X38. You sure your were not reading the test below- Photo something?

No definately CPU Queen.

I guess I'll have to buy a Creative XHiFi Gamer sound card

I would have thought ASUS would have tested the boards onboard sound properly.

But judging by their appalling Forum web site and Tech support I shouldn't be that surprised. lol their Forum webmaster hasn't logged in since September 2006 , what a fiasco.

Totally agree about that site, this site is so much better, more knowledgeable people here! AsusTek is full of whiners and not much good if you need help. When I had my P5K Deluxe hooked up (RMA'd it, to many problems) I didn't get much help there. I eventually will put it all back together but my 680i is running so well I haven't seen the need to do it but when I do I'll come here and go over all 1500+ posts


Well maybe the first 5 or 6

Anyone have the same memory as in my sig? please post your memory timings if possible.

[Atomic245]

Have you tried 4-4-4-15 ? I found these looser timings better with my OCZ and they are running at DDR 912 and are quite cool.

I ran OCCT and they are stable.
