***OFFICIAL Asus P5K-E/WiFi Thread

[candida]

Hi could you tell me what are the safe voltage for mobo and CPU, for CPU PLL Voltage and FSB Termination Voltage. I have PLL Auto, 1.5 and 1.7v options, and for FSB Termination choices from 1.2 to 1.5v.
it is safe to run PLL on 1,7v and 1.5v on FSB Termination , i have more stable pc at higher fsb clock.

[Aerou]

I`m confused...

Is it 603 or 602?

the BIOS that I am seeking is really 0603,

0602 is beta and available on the Asus site, but 0603 for some reason not! I dont know if the 0603 is just for 1.01G boards or (or older revs) or what, but it was the only BIOS for me to have 3600 stable on my q6600

to vocch: what boards revision do you please have? it is written right above the first PCI-E 16x slot, thx

[barzi]

I'm thinking of getting this bord. But i'm doubting between this board and the Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R. Which is more stable and is better in overclocking?

better in overclocking ... P5K all the way
better in stabilty ... I personally still cant tell

Hi.

Strange, since i do 3600MHZ hiper stable, with only 1.40vcore....

Did you try the Pencil trick, to the Mobo?

If you want my configuration, on the Bios, i can post it here

Anyway, didn`t now about that bios 0603...i would apreciate a link, to get a copy, to my collection

Beta or not, im enjoing this 0602......

My next goal, will be pass the 445FSb 1:1 barrier.....

Shark-357

Thanks!

ok, it MAY help, so ,if you are willing , could you post your BIOS settings and board revision?

I dont know what is wrong, but I can do 3600 (400x9) even at 1,34V, a couple of Prime95 rounds complete, without any errors, but out of nowhere, the system restarts. Another strange thing to note is, that if I put more than 1.6V PLL and 1,3 FSB voltage, it restarts even on Windows load, completely unstable ... really strange. More than 1,45V ... also unstable, even on lower clocks, just restarts ...

Tryed all sorts of BIOSes and voltage options, nothin, just the same restart

[Mordorr]

No problem!

I have it at 3530MHZ, but i didn`t change a lot in Bios...

the revision is 1.00.

I also use a good watercool system, very good airflow and ramsincks extra, from thermaltake...

And a big 120mm over them

Later, at home, i will give you photos of the Bios, to share with the comunity also

Mordorr

P.S. Didn´t find the 0603 bios, except for the Deluxe version....i wonder if they aren`t the same board....since my PBc says under Deluxe....

[Aerou]

since your board is rev1.00,
is anyone here running a quad on a rev. 1.01 board? if yes, what is your amxfsb?

[Mordorr]

Well, there you have my Bios configs:








I didn`t change a lot, except FSB and the multiplier....

I hope did help you


About 0603 Bios, can someone give here a link, or upload?

[Aerou]

thanks a lot Mordorr, now I am really certain that there is something with my board ... your settings dont work for me, just restarts, like it always does. For example, if I set 1,4V CPU voltage in BIOS, it boots, but if I set 1,45V it immediatly restarts after POST, during Win bootup ... sux

[Mordorr]

Maybe this configuration, is a litle diferent for you....

I do use a Q6600 G0 + Mushkin 8500 2G....

Is doesn`t seems to be problem of Juice, since i do use a less strong Power Suply, with only 475Wts...

Maybe is your CPU limitation?

Can you use it in other Board?

Mordorr

P.S. In the setfsb, wich clockgenerator should i use?

Tks,

Hi m8...it is 1.01g...if someone can tell me how/where to upload 0603 i will do so.

[Aerou]

vocch, save it via Asus UPDATE, than you can send it on my mail aerosupraATseznamDOTcz and then, I will make it publicly available via my server
And BTW, could you post your settings for the 3,6GHz?

Hi Aerosupra...i used asus update but it did not show what file it was...so i thought it would be better to save in EZ flash so it would be a ROM file...i have rar'ed it and just sent...good luck m8.

Edit: As to o/c settings ....i am using 9x400 with 1.45vcore...mem 5-5-5-18...running @960mhz@2.0v and that's it...the rest are left on auto.

[Mordorr]

Hi!

I would be interested in that Bios too....

Soon, could one of you, do a upload to a site?

Tks in advance!

[Aerou]

ok, here are some bioses for the p5k-e on my server:

0503.ROM
0602.ROM beta
0603.ROM thanks to Vocch!
0806.ROM huge Vdrop, WiFi - cant disable
0901.ROM huge Vdrop

[Mordorr]

Aerosupra

Many tks, and also Vocch!

I could notice, that 0603, has 2MB is this a "default" Bios configuration?

Or some kind of image and backup?

If so, maybe should, after install, load defaults, and make a new image/copy, no?

Anyway,

Soon i full explore this Beta version, i will give a try

Mordorr

[Crazykooter]

Here is my most recent prime run and highest attempt on my q6600 for 24/7 stable. Bios settings are pretty much default. All I changed was fsb .Multi, cpu voltage and cpu ,pcie spread spectrum to disabled. There really isnt a need for upping the other voltages. My board is a 1.01 btw. If you want a screen of bios just let me know.

[Mordorr]

Dam...

485FSB

I wish my rig could do the same......

The guilty here:

CPU?
Memories?
Board 1.00 rev.?






Me?

Well, my PC will still be ON 24 hours, but i will go on vacations for the next days....

Experiences will continue next week

[Aerou]

damn, the 0603 made no difference for me and the quad, so a have put in my trusted 1 year old lapped e6600 and .... no high-voltage problems, totally stable and I could push my cpu to its limits (so far 3800MHz 1,48V - load)
a hope my other X38 board arrives soon, so can can put that damn quad under the scope - really weird, that it becomes unstable at 1,4V and higher no matter what frequency, I still blame the board ...

I have heard the X38 boards do oc pretty well but they suffer from some of the same problems that the P35 do. Good luck to ya.

[Mordorr]

I hear the same....no big diferences between P35 and P38...

Maybe a P48....

Anyway, can you use yor CPU in other Board?

Is your CPU G0, or B3?

That could make all diference......

[jVIDIA]

2mb bios file for the 0603 ?!

[Crazykooter]

2mb bios file for the 0603 ?!

LOL ya good thing I have a 2 gb flash drive. What ever you do dont go near the 0901 bios. What a nightmare that was. I couldnt flash back no matter what I did until I got a link on here for a asus update that worked and boy was I freaked to have to flash in windows.

[Aerou]

the quad is a L731 G0 Q6600 , it is a nightmare, a spent two days tryin all bioses, voltage, pencil mod, extreme pwm cooling ... nothin, that son of a silicon aint stable. Really strange, when I set voltages more than 1,4 V (real) cpu, or 1,6V PLL or 1,4 FSB or 1,55V Vnb it locks up and reboots even during Win bootup, with the E6600 I can rocket those voltage to 1,55Vcpu, 1,8Vpll, 1,5Vfsb, 1,7Vnb without a problem! its a nightmare for me. Another thing a have noticed is that the cpu had marks after a heatsink installation, scrathes on the surface - does it happen with a brand new, sealed cpu? I had a uncomfortly feeling about it, but I dont know what to think of it, since it had a " Intel factory sealed " sticker and the box was unopened ...
