***OFFICIAL Asus P5K-E/WiFi Thread

[AriciU]

Im looking to pick this board and just want to see if you would highly suggest this board. Looking also at the IP35-E. Just trying to see what to step up to. TIA

I was in your same shoes two days ago and i've picked this. Don't regret it one bit. Dunno how the Abit is but the voltage options on this board are killer!

Only bad thing is that you can't monitor your nb / sb and dram voltage for some reason (i can't anyway). Emailed Asus about that.

i use wireless in the house and how is the wireles receiver.

[C0ncrete]

For those that need to downgrade I simply used a USB thumb drive and used Ezy Flash in the bios.

No worries.

[ChuckM]

It looks like the Abit IP35-E is being phased out. The only place I've found that still has them listed is Directron.com.

Go for Asus P5K-E as the Abit ip35-e has bad vdroop/drop...and the Asus was the better clocker out of what i tried.

anything after bios 602 just has a bug, in which .1 needs to be added to mimic any bios 602 and below. my overclock is the exact same with any bios, and so im loving this board except for an IDE drive detection issue which seems fairly common .

alo, first of all good christmas for everyone

just want to ask if is there anyone here that has tried a QX9650 on a P5K-E ?

how are the results? is a X38 board really needed?

thanks

I've emailed Asus about the temperature monitoring issue i'm having and their response was that i should use the latest pcprobe/everest (already have the latest) and update the bios to latest 0901. I've heard that bios is awfull so not gonna happen

Anyone with a newer bios then 0602 can confirm that his PC Probe / Everest shows NB/SB temps + DRAM voltage ?

That sounds like pretty standard response...

[Raver]

This is with BIOS 0703

Everything is set to AUTO
SpeedStep is working, changing my multi to 6 when idle.
Which temp do I trust to be accurate, I'm leaning towards CoreTemp's and Everest readings.
Anyone knows why Intel Thermal Analysis Tool is reporting my temp lower than Everest and Core Temp, does it have to do with some kind of delta calculation?



Update.
Had to turn off PC Probe, 2 alarms went off for no reason, 1st indicating vCore @ 0V and then CPU fan @ 0RPM...

Here is a screenie at idle, SpeedStep kicking in.

[Mordorr]

A litle OFF:

I did upgrade to 0602 Bios....

Everything runs fine except i do have a beep about a fan CPU on the Boot...

How do i shut up it?

I do have a extra fan ON, butmy CPU uses Watercooling.....

Merry Christmas everbody!

[Raver]

Got to Hardware Monitor in BIOS and I think you can choose Ignore for the fan there.

[AriciU]

Hardware monitoring in the bios. Put cpu fan as Ignored.

[Mordorr]

Thank you all!

Tomorow i will put it, off!


Merry Christmas!

Mine came shipped with 0603 date 01 sep 2007 and is fine.

Any reason to update BIOS from 404 to 603 ?

hy

i have seen that result but just wanna know if "normal" users can show their experience with P35+QX9650 45nm

BTW i´m using the 0803 in the P5K-E normal version and diden´t notice diferences from previous 0503, it was just a cpu support list update?

[vocch]

If it's doing what it's supposed to without any problems i'd leave it...i think newer bios are just to support the latest chips...so no reason to update unless your getting a new cpu.

Hey mind uploading your BIOS? I flashed to 901 thinking it was a good upgrade and would like the 603 BIOS again.

[Aerou]

same here, desperate for the 0603

[Mordorr]

I`m confused...

Is it 603 or 602?

Im using 0602......

Update:





What you thing, people?

I wish i could pass the FSB to 500, but at 445, i do have problems...

Maybe i should use another configuration on the timmings of the memories?

Another question:

What software "on the fly" can we use to play with the FSB on the windows?

On old days of the Nforce 2, i did use a lot Clock Generator.....



Tks in advance,

[cnumartyr]

Drop the performance level a bit, that might help reaching higher FSB levels.

[Mordorr]

Hi.

What do you mean by performance level?

I can`t reach more, than 445, even with a lower multiplier...


Tks,
