***OFFICIAL Asus P5K-E/WiFi Thread

Where can you see which rev you have? Cpu-z gives 1.xx..

It is marked on the board itself. Right above the videocard slot beside where it says P5K-E

Mine is a 1.01g

This is a good question from barzi. Which bios supports 45nm chips?

Check this out:

Hideo is using bios 0503 with a QX9650!

It might be that it will moan something about the cpu microcode on every bootup though but at least it's accurate with voltages.

Thanks.
Mine is rev 1.02G. What does this mean?

[Aerou]

I finally pushed my Q6600 and P5K-E Wifi to 4ghz
Takes alot of v-core to get there though.
I have it set at a sweet spot of 3465mhz (1.27 v-core) prime stable for 24/7 use

any coretemp reading on that run? would like to know the VID, thx

[ChuckM]

Interesting, the bios link posted on pg10 says you need 503 for a 2180, but
906 for a 2200.

I forgot to open core temp on that run.
I`ll make sure its open for the next time. (it`s pretty warm on air though)

VID= 1.2250 on this cpu

All it means is how new your board is. They start at 1.00 and go up

hello, i have a P5K-E WiFi Rev 1.02g since saturday it came with bios 0806, wich one is the best bios for the board??

Thanks, and sorry for my english

[Rocket]

I was playing a bit more tonight.
Kinda cheated with nice cool canadian winter air.

looks like 470 fsb is the limit of my cpu, or the limit of my poor Enermax 535.

Its one of the worst bios. Get the 0602 or 0603 bios.

thanks! another question, does 0602 or 0603 support 45nm?

[mft4]

happy new year everyone

[chang]

Can anyone point me to download the said 0603 bios. Presently, me is using 0602; but would like to try 0603 as well.

Thank you.

[Zeus]

Chang, if your system is running fine, don't flash for the sake of having a newer bios, all the later bios' have messed up voltages.

If it ain't broke...

[chang]

Thanks, was thinking the 0603 might be better. Me running E6850 @ 450 x 8 and memory at 4-4-5-12 1:1 at 1.4125v now with 0602.

Previously, all other bios can't run at this speed with '8' at 3.6ghz!

Well done cheating or not but that lools like a very nice cpu you got there.

i am having a problem with my ram... I use 2x 1gb Gskill pc6400 HK and i am running 425*8 with 1:1 on rams... so they are workin ate 850mhz 4-4-3-5.

But if i use the divider that allows the ram to work ate 1020mhz with 5-5-5-15 timmings, i always get blue screens at this speed. Before i have this board i used a Blood Iron and i used the ram at almost 1100mhz with no issues and 1.37v in chipset only. With Asus even at 1.7v in chipset

I am using Bios 0602, and i try 0603 too but is the same.

i try to use all the voltages possible and always get freezes or Blue screens.
Any issues with Gskill Hz and this board?

[coldpower27]

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

Hey can someone check if these links are working as they aren't for me right now.

[MalaMen]

not working here too

[Aerou]

me neither
sry guys, happens ...

new working links:

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

[whodie]

Hey guys, need some help, I'm close but not quite 100% stable

vcore 1.58
nb 1.55
fsb 1.4
vdimm 2.3

any suggestions?

[haoster]

i have flash my p5k-e wifi bios to 0901 today, and noticed a huge vdrop (about 0.15v).
as many of you said, i am planning to downgrade the bios to the 0602 one. but i couldnt. tried with ez-flash, asus update, and Afudos. ez-flash didnt allow me to flash to 0602, because its older than the current 0901. asus update and afudos said the bios rom file is not compatible with my board (i am very sure i have the right rom file from the asus official website, for p5k-e/wifi), and doesnt let me flash...
so just wondering how you guys did the downgrade from 0901 to 0602....
thank you..

What color slots are you using ? If yellow then switch to black. The yellow ones are much more aggressive then the blacks.

[jorge_metal0]
