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

[sesdave]

Many thanks for your swift response.

I’ll try setting the Strap 400 (1:1) then do some stability tests with Super Pi and Orthos at 9 x 334 FSB. If it handles the tests ok I’ll move the FSB up in 10s to see if I can get near 3.6.

What would you say was a safe max temp and Vcore for the CPU?

FSB strap and FSB frequency determine available DRAM frequency. Leave the strap on auto and raise FSB it will show you all available DRAM frequencies in the BIOS. I used to run my E6600 on a P5W with 1.5v @ 3.6 - temps were idle 48c load(prime) 62c with an Artic cooler 7 pro. On air no more than 1.55v -on water your choice if the tempos are okay.
