Official ASUS X38 Boards: P5E, P5E3 - Info/BIOS Thread

[INTREPID]

Why don 't you just stick with 3.6Ghz? You can then run the memory at it's rated speed with decent timings. A CPU clock increase of 100-200 Mhz. is not going to make any noticeable difference.

Now, if you talking about going from 3.6 to 4.0, then that might be worthwhile.

I personally would never flash a bios not designed for the motherboard model, especially if you're not going to get a superior overclock or better stability.

BTW, If anyone is having serious issues with Ram compatibility, this Ram is 100% compatible with the P5E - Now in stock: http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16820231065

I'm very happy with a cool and 100% stable 3.6Ghz with 4GB DDR-2 800 at 4-4-4-12 timings with my E8400. For now at least.

By the way, how do you like your Physx card?
