Asus P5K Premium Problems + fixes thread

[Ace123]

Hmm. Ive never encountered a sata problem with this motherboard to date. Ive installed all the hard drives I can find on this thing. Ive even gone as far as installing IDE to Sata adapters on my burner and dvd burner.
Im now running a WD raptor 74gig
2 maxtor 200gigs
1 dvd burner
1 cdrw

EDIT:
OOps, Maybe I should read this first

Yep. All Raptors are still SATA 1, regardless of generation. This thread is a discussion about compatibility problems with the P5K Premium and SATA II drives (and any other issues that are discovered); there are no known compatability issues with any SATA 1 drives and the ICH9R controller on this board to date...

No problem with RAID 0 on the Seagate 1000's. All went well the first install. Overclock is stable and there is no Vdroop. As a matter of a fact, there is a Vraise of 1.376v --> 1.384v on Prime95 v2.5.

How can you tell what speed your pci-e is actually running at? Would a util like cpuz tell the truth?

anyone having problems locking pcie 16x after updating to 0504?
I was able to lock it at 103mhz with 400fsb after updating. But after playing around with fsb in bios I can no longer lock it at 103mhz pcie with fsb set to 400mhz... any suggestions?

I'm stuck @ pci-e 1x past 399fsb

How can you tell what speed your pci-e is actually running at? Would a util like cpuz tell the truth?

I run 3.8GHz at 8x475 without ever noticing that PCI-E x1 issue. On some P5B deluxe, it was a northbridge issue, once you give it too much volts the problem appears.

On the P5K premium, doing the opposite (giving the NB and or the SB some more volts) can solve the issue like said above. But, on most boards, it was a PSU unit. Once you OC too much, the PSU can't handle the power needs of the VGA card and it lowers to x1

And yes, CPU-Z will show it easily under the motherboard tab
