1,40v ---- 1,40v
1,55v ---- 1,55v

same here with p5k vanilla here, same with fsb termination, @ 400mhz fsb and more, the lowest setting that works is 1.3v (since bios 603)
with bios 902 there is a 'feature' added, @ 400mhz and above, cpu pll is @ 1.75v almost, no matter the setting in bios

[vera]

P5K-e users What is the max fsb with new 45 nm cpu's ? Anyone achieve 550 or more ?

Post a link to your SPD, I'll fix it for you, It's not the board.

I can't even get into windows with those sticks anymore. This board does not want to play nice with this ram! I had a similar occurrence once before with my dfi expert and some corsair ram. It was just never happy with it no matter what I did or what the guys from corsair or (then) dfi-street recommended. I replaced that with some ocz ram and voila, problems were gone. I'm hoping I have similar luck here with the ballistix.

Isn't a pll that high a bit dangerous? I was under the impression that it was usually best to keep that no higher than 1.6v!

[blackdem0n]

between bios 1006 and 906, who is better?

[jVIDIA]

for me 1006 rocks !!

for now I got my Q6600G0 @ 450x8 w/1.3875vCore in BIOS/iddle/full

Just receieved my replacement board back!...bios that came with it 0703...thought i'd flash it as this bios has vcore bug...as we know allready tried EZ Flash...so i give 1006 a whirl via windows this time...and guess what!...NO BOOT AGAIN!...tried changing mem slots but no go...but know i think i know what's happening here...people who flash and end up with a dead board it's not actually dead these new bios have added memory support but the trouble is...is when you flash it erases the support for other memory...like the ones you had in your board originally ...how i found this out is tried changing mem slots with the elixir memory no go...then Geil and still no go..mixed the sticks and now working fine..but with mixed ram... c'mon ASUS wtf are you doing with the bios!

585FSB here

Can you give me a bios settings

[blackdem0n]

Can you give me a bios settings

same request

[nikk]

where is the vFSB misurement point?

here for the vanilla

edit: in my previous post i say 'from 400mhz fsb and above' because that's what i have tested.
@ my stock fsb (266mhz for e6300) the otions work as they should (i can set 1.2 vfsb for example).
i haven't tested between 266 and 400mhz to check where the bug 'starts'

[nobi125]

I'll be updating to 1006 later tonight.

Quick question...what's the loosest TRFC you can set manually on this mobo?

[NINaudio]

well, I'm happy to say this board works quite well with ballistix. Bye bye team ram...

[g1raffe]

Off the top of my head, its 42.

Ugh, i hope that's wrong. Anyone confirm?

That's the same low cap as i have with my P5B-D, which basically screws me over for OCing Powerchips IC RAM.

[Blackoberst]

Is your sata drive configured as AHCI or IDE in bios?
No error mesage, no BSOD?
