ASUS P5K Deluxe - Intel P35 Bearlake + E6600 B1 / Q6600 B3

[jcniest5]

Got a E8400 instead of waiting for the 8500 to come out.
Using core temp 0.96.1 one core, (0) always shows the same temp no matter what.
Not sure what would cause that, maybe core temp but it seems to work ok for others.
Anyone else using a e8400 on this board and core temp reads both core temps ok?

Same board, mine has core 1 running 7-12 degrees hotter than core 2 whether it's idle or fully loaded. Somewhat displease with the temperature thing, but works good otherwise.

I took my E8400 back to my local retailer and he exchanged it with a new one with no questions asked. My new cpu cores both register 38C at idle (at 4.0GHz), most of the time. When you first boot up one core is stuck at 32C. I don't think these core temp anomolies effects the overall performance of the processors...it is just the temp reading which is wrong, on mine only at idle.

Good to know that some stores still have excellent customer service. Sad to say, the MicroCenter here in St. Louis Park, MN. sucks at customer service. The Service Technical guy is full of arrogant, that's what is saddest about it.

[shk]

The MicroCenter in Westbury, NY is awesome. Half of the time they don't even open the box and if they do it's just to make sure you put something in there.

One day I'm just going to leave them a cookie.

Asking the same question in the P5K-E thread, but i'm not sure if it's the same for this board.

What's the loosest TRFC you can manually set on this mobo?

(Considering this or the P5K-E or the DS3R...)

[SurlyPlatypus]

Everything powers up, no beeps, and no bios loads, nothing. Oh yeah, tried clearing cmos (wall power, battery & jumper), tried a few sticks of ram in different slots, tried it all as far as I know.

I snagged a speaker from my old case and rigged it to the new one. I get beep codes with no ram and only then.

Anything else I can try?

Switch your RAM around and/or use 1 stick and/or use a different brand of RAM with one stick...

see this... no answer but same problem...

Hi: n7 (Edm is my hometown 42 is the loosest TRFC in the bios. Although MemSet goes to 80, I doubt it does anything. I run mine at 20 or 25, right up to over 1300MHz with the P5K Deluxe with no freezing or stability issues.

mrcape: try reseating your video card and check the ancillary power is plugged in. I had the same problem you are describing, but I can't remember exactly how I fixed it. It can be done, just keep trying...hope that helps.

Thanx a lot, former fellow Edmontonian

I'm quite disappointed to hear that though, since that's the same far too low cap i have on my P5B-D, which basically makes OCing Powerchips ICs (the best cheap 2 GB dimms) impossible.

Looks like i'm gonna have to make a thread asking what mobos have a higher TRFC option...

Hi peeps I didnt have played my with this board for a while, is it possible now to make small Increasement in volts with the DIMMs? where as the steps where like 0.05 increasements. What is the best BIOS so far from your experience, I am still on 0311.... 0603 or 0705? And can u flash it back, without using Windows Flash?

[xpower]

hi
i have a nooob question sorry for that.....
i have a e6600 L652b127, can this board overclock this cpu to 4.0ghz and
team extreem 800 2gb to 1200mhz, because i want to buy a motherboard.
please

[ziddey]

nope



edit: there are no guarantees in the world of overclocking. You're asking for a very tall order. A motherboard isn't going to do miracles if your other equipment is bunk (not necessarily saying they are in your case)

this board will do 500x8 with a core duo without breaking a sweat, but what is questionable, is your CPU capable of doing 4.0ghz( ofc with safe voltage range if your seeking for 24/7)???

My board takes my e6600 up to 3.7 without a problem, but the chip is a decent stepping. 4.0 sounds a bit unrealistic for most e6600s. You may want to look at the e8400s if 4.0 is your goal. GL

hi guys, could i ask a favour ?

could you take a pic of p5k deluze in the area with red spot like in this pic ?


i need just the red circle zone in high quality to check some resitence are good..

really really thank's to anyone could me

Or you could use SPDTool to read the SPD, edit the TRFC and then flash the new SPD to your sticks, and leave the setting on Auto in the bios.

Just make sure you fix the Checksum of the SPD in SPDTool before you flash it!

[xpower]

sorry
i can run this cpu 3.8ghz but my p5wdh deluxe can't let me go in to windows.
but on post is shows 3.8ghz.3.6ghz can pass every this on this board with
no problem.
team mem this board can do best is 1000mhz with auto volt.
xpower.

New Bios out 0809

ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socke...e/P5KD0809.zip

Dated: Feb 15/08

I would guess it adds support for the upcoming New Quad cores.

[xpower]

by the way what is the max fsb is p5w dh deluxe crap is supporting.

[Xvys]

I flashed the new 809 bios and when I loaded my old bios o/c profile, there were a couple of changes in the settings somehow. The SB voltage was set to 1.20v, while I had saved as Auto in old bios profile. Also the NB voltage register was set to .61x, while it was saved as Auto. Also the ram timings had changed from what I hat previously set, default 5-6-5-15-25 rather than the saved 5-5-5 in the profile.

My system was stable before at 4.0GHz, but perhaps there is a reason why these new voltage settings appeared in my bios profile. I tried them, and sure enough I eked a higher o/c to 4.1GHz, coupled with my modest voltage settings it is stable so far.

E8400 bios 809

CPU: 1.365v
PLL: 1.50v
VTT (FSB Term): 1.10v
Ram: 2.1v
NB: 1.25v
NB voltage reg: .61x
SB: 1.20v
Load Line Calb: enabled
CPU voltage reg: auto
Clock overchg: auto
Transaction boost: disabled -relax lvl 0 (was Performance Lvl 6, now is Lvl 9 with new bios)

and about temps anything changed?

[Xvys]

No changes in the temps, unfortunately. With the new bios my idle core temps are 38C/32C at stock 3.0GHz, and 38C/36C @ 4.1GHz...the same as 705 bios. The cpu temp is 32C in bios, and 28C in Everest/CPUID Hardware Monitor at idle. Under full load 50C/54C cores, and 43C cpu temp.

I frankly don't really believe these temp readings. The problem is with the temp diodes in the cores and these programs are just reading these faulty diodes. So no fix with this new bios. Since the bios temp reading is 4C higher than software readings, to be safe I would add on 4C in Windows...so my cpu idle temp is 32C, with 47C under load. Believable, I guess and nothing to get worried about.

It's not stable at any higher FSB with the cpu voltage of 1.365v, so 4.1GHz is the max...although the NB could perhaps be raised to 1.40v to aid stability at higher o/c, but I am satisfied at this level.

temps are the same here..and i stay now daily at 4.35 with 1.39 vcore (bios slightly higher) so i think i ll be keeping the 705

[jeeka]

I gotta doozie for all of you.

I updated to the 0809 BIOS and now my machine won't boot. It will post, configure, and when it goes to load windows (the Windows XP loading bar screen) it just stays black. The monitor light stays green though....I am using a 2-disk RAID0 on ports 1 & 2.....

So here is what I tried. Let me know if you have any other ideas:

1. Reset CMOS - Posts, reads disks, shows RAID0 setup, then goes black
2. Booted up with one RAM module in Slot 4 (furthest from CPU) - Posts, reads disks, shows RAID0 setup, then goes black
3. Tried flashing back to 0705 - EZ Update does not even see my USB drive with the BIOS on it.
4. Swapped in 2 other hard disks that are in the same RAID0 config from another p5k Deluxe I have as a spare - Posts, can get into BIOS, but still has a black screen, monitor light is green though
5. Switched out my RAID0 array from the non-working main machine into the spare p5k deluxe setup, and it boots perfectly fine. I have almost identical parts between the 2 machines, Cpu, RAM and video card are different, but they don't play into the equation. So it's not the disks themselves that are causing this.
6. Tried booting from CD-ROM Drive to do a windows repair (thinking it was Windows) - but it Posts, reads disks, shows RAID0 setup, then goes black

So, in total, it does not start the Windows Loading Screen whether I take out all but one stick of RAM (it posts just fine though), Boot from Spare Raid0 from alternate motherboard, Reset CMOS, or try and boot from a DVD/CD Drive.....

What gives?!

[jeeka]

Nevermind ya'll,
I solved my own problem. I have a PCI IDE Card that I unplugged 2 of my other old school IDE hard drives to and it booted fine. It must have something to do with the jumpers on the HD's being a mix of CS and Master.......

I'm dumb.
jeeka.

dammit i just tried to flash to the 0809bios from 0311 and what a terrible mistake.. comp wont post anything on the screen.. tried everything, one stick of ram, cleared the cmos/take the battery and nothing..
