ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

[chuckbam]

Probably not the place to post but has anyone tried an E8400/E8500 on one of these boards? I'm curious to see if these boards will do 500FSB+ without too much hassle.

I run a FSB at 1680MHz. You must be talking about the Dram Frequency. That changes with the CPU frequency and the multiplier. For Example. I have my CPU Frequency with a multiplier of 8x 420 Mhz CPU Frequency at 1:1. I have and the dram frequency is 420x2 - 840Mhz. I also have the options to set it at 1050MHz, 1260, 1400, 1680. I keep it at 1:1 because my memory will not rum much higher. So I have a 8x multiplier because I get a greater CPU and FSB than I can run a my default of 9x.

You would need some high performance memory and you can run at a dram speed of 500x2 ~ 1000Mhz. This would also depend on your CPU limits and multiplier (and memory timings) but with some expensive ram you could find a setting that would work at 1000MHz plus (2x500mhz)
