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

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

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?!

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.
