[18th Anniversary] Asus Black Pearl - P5k-Premium Testing Report

[sesdave]

Well I had a long night last night till 6am this morning, Phuuu!! Flashing this bios was a drag to say the least!!! and to tell the truth not worth it for me. I could NOT use a AFUDOS because the bios was to big for a floppy and I could not get my bios to see my flash drive as bootable or see it at all to use ezFlash.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks again

I also noticed that my CPU temp reported 10c higher than 0402 did with 0404 but I am only concerned with Copretemps which were reported the same - running 33c on my Q6600 idle air 60c load. Using PC Wizard to report temps. My old E6600 on a P5W DH used to need BIOS settings of vcore 1.5v (vdroop was higher than premium) FSB =1.3, NB=1.55,SB=1.2 to run 400x9. That idled 46c load 60c lapped with an Arctic Freezer Pro with AS5. I now use MX-2 as no cure time. Check your HS seating - if 65c is the Core load temp that seems high for water cooling at the speed your running at. A lot of the E6600 weren't capable of 3.6 whatever the volts - from what I remember they did run pretty hot as you pumped the volts up!. I would also run T2 until you get your o/c stable .
