Asus P5K Premium Problems + fixes thread

[jonny_ftm]

I'm thinking of picking up the P5K-Premium for a Q9550 until the P45 boards are released and stable. Anyway, the question is around this whole SATA problem... has it been fixed and if so, what do I need to look for to ensure my copy of this board has the fix.

Does the P5K-Deluxe suffer from them as well or is it just the Premium?

No definite fix was ever found. Keeping away from Samsung and WD is the only real fix
The deluxe won't clock you as good as the Premium on a quadcore in most cases

Must have a good DLx then , 475ish is indeed my max on quads I owned ,though that's enough for me... and the same CPU's topped out on same FSB on Maximus and MARS mobo's... With the P5K you need to make sure the mosfets are well cooled for the rest best mobo I have ever owned...

I also cooled my mosfets on the premium with some HR-09 + a 90mm fan attached on the NB HR-05 IFX and blowing on the mosfets area. Maybe that's why I can reach such good overclocks on low volts while others are stuck at low performance/high volts (despite the fact that I suerely got a good board)

Anyone have any suggestion on how to bring my Q6600 to 3.6 on my P5K Premium board, what volt and temp should I not exceed in that case.

I have 3.2@1.325 (1.304 in CPU-Z under load) i BIOS and CPU voltage damper enabled and with temp 60 with Prime95 stable and temp different between core 0,1 and 2,3 is less then 5 under load.

My ambient roomtemp is ~20.

I figure 60 is to high@3.2 and it´s due to that I run me scythe@900, well I maybe should test with it at 1200 and see what I get, I most admit that I don´t like to much noice from my PC so I guess it´s a balance between performane and noice.

Perhaps I should ad one more and go push pull on that TRUE, I have it mounted with the heatpipes horizontal position, I found it was better then vertical, it ru´ns cooler that way.

So what do you P5K Premium expert say?

Any suggestions about BIOS settings would be great.

Excellent mobo the P5K dlx, i managed to get 480x8 on my Q6600 L737B...

What's the real difference of the P5K dlx and P5K premium ?

Supposedely better mosfets, I'm not sure about other modifications
Maybe last deluxe boards are as good as Premium
