My daily usage is 8x513 = 4100 mhz large fft and small fft totally stable but When the system is idle sometimes restarting ! What's going on ? high fsb affect the hdd or something ?

Whats your SB voltage? When you Clock your FSB up your not always just
affecting the link between the CPU and the NB. The NB is the central hub
to every component on your board. Some things can be locked (i.e. PCIe)
to a certain frequency while others like the SB (responsible for Sata, Pata,
USB, etc.) will/can be a affected be the FSB Frequency. I have mine
at max 1.20v noprobs.

Good Luck..

Should I increase the Pci-e frequency ? default 100 .. What am I
do ? Sb voltage is 2.05 but same issue... When I exit the game it's restart

No, and SB @ 2.05? you must mean 1.05, try it at 1.20.

I have had the same issue about restarting after exiting a game, or actually
it was aquamark it means your overclock is not stable. See if the SB @ 1.20v
helps, if not bump your FSB down a notch.

anyone ever use a x3220 Go in this board. If so how did it work for you. I had a X3210 and it was fine but for some reason a friend owns a x3220 and a P5k black pearl edition and is having trouble.

[vera]

ahh sorry, It's already 1.20

Any p5k-e users ? reach 600fsb with this 45nm cpu's ?

[K404]

What BIOS are working well with 45nm?

Iv tried 0906 (no POST) and 1004 (hangs in BIOS)

Some people are having success with these BIOS...answers would be welcome!

[vera]

My 8200 8x525 is stable orthos small fft but When I run the large fft it crashes , I think the mobo limit or bios issue (mine 1004) !! also windows opended at 8x535 no problem..

[AriciU]

If it's not stable at 525mhz in blend then your ram sucks probably. Give it more volts and re-try.

No , my ram absolutely stable I'm sure about that my tracer 1066 totaly stable 1200 mhz 5-5-5-15 timings 2.1 volts with divider and memtest , I think the board issue with the 45nm cpu

[AriciU]

Well... small ffts stresses only CPU while blend stresses both CPU and RAM so...

Did you try your cpu' s max fsb with the p5k-e ?

[vera]

The system restarting at idle ! but orthos small and largee fft stable , what is the problem ?

[Tibu]

I just ordered this motherboard. I was wondering if it would be a good idea to replace the TIM that comes with the stock board, with an application of Artic Silver 5 before I mount it in my case.

I wouldn't bother, but if I did I wouldn't use AS5, I would use something like Arctic Cooling MX-2, performs better and is non-conductive.

[Mister2]

I have about the same setup, but can't get past 3.16GHz, even though the temps are low enough. Care to share your BIOS settings? I'm having a feeling I forgot something...

I'd be more than happy to share =)
I'm in the middle of a bunch of stuff right now so I can't reboot to look right now though, sorry for the delay bro =(
I'll reboot and take some pics ASAP, then edit this post or something.

--edit--

Here ya go, took some pics from the AI Overclocking screen:

Just had a thought about this. Did you disable all the C1E EIST (speed step mess). If not your cpu may be droping the vcore down (to save power) at idle to the point that it becomes unstable for your overclock. Just go to the
CPU feature section in your BIOS and disable everything in there.

Nice clocks on that e8400, Is that prime stable? Was it much trouble to get there, and what are your temps? Im getting a e8400 in few weeks, just trying to get a head start on what to expect.. some what

Thanks

Na, max prime stable is around 4.5 with 1.6V, I have only done 10hr+ tests up to 4.3ghz @ ~1.525V IIRC.

Max SuperPi 32M stable and 3DMark06 stable is ~4.6ghz.

Yes, speed step disabled . I'm using 1004 bios..


Asus p5k-e p35 chipset
E8200
2x1gb ddr 1066
250gb Seagate sataII Hdd (onboard sata controller)
x1950xt
pci-e frequency at locked 100

I use this config 8x500 daily usage .. orthos small and large fft totally stable .. But sometimes When system is idle windows restarting , I think hdd is cause this issue ... so Should I increase the pci-e frequency ?

What is the fsb strap to nortbridge ? what should it be ? my current setting is 8x500 ... system booting only when I changed to fsb starp to northbridge 400 ?

[bugmenot_user]

New BIOS 1006 - ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/so...-ASUS-1006.zip

[WeldZilla]

Here are my bios settings at least for now. I have not had this thing in use for 24 hours yet. I will play with it more but, it is hard to argue with where I am at so far.


As you can see I just left the strap on auto.


Not running too Xtreme on the voltage settings.

Red Heat!

Here is a list of my parts for my all air system.

You know it was not probably necessary to buy that PSU but, I have just always wanted a PC&P.
