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

[andressergio]

Thanks mate Its not a WR, but Im very happy with it. Is amazing how a good bios can improve a lot of things in a product like this. Kudos to Asus with this one

No need a WR on a Wolfdale inmo, the TRUE is doing pretty awesome on your rig. My Q6600 burns like hell so I need to keep it cool...Bios 902 is very good wish i had my ballistix...Tough I couldn't make my 3906Mhz 24/7 OC it with this 902 and the 2x2Mushkint Ascent..just my good ol' 3825Mhz with 1,425 set on bios

Cheers mate

@sergio. i got team Xtreem 800 (2*1GB) stick that can do easy 1200 ghz with 2.3v.i dont think is it ram.

thanks monza for posting.what air cooling did you used,and cpu volts in bios.
which ram u got there.why u did not use OCCT with 600 FSB for stayablility.what E8400 batch?
what temps u getting there with core temps or real temps?
good job by the way

[monza1412]

what air cooling did you used,and cpu volts in bios.

Thermalright Ultra extreme, 1.47v for that Spi run, but it can be lower

which ram u got there.why u did not use OCCT with 600 FSB for stayablility.what E8400 batch?

A couple of Crucial Ballistix sticks, the good old D9. I never said that it was stable at 600, I dont think it would pass a 32m Spi run. Q805A160. not the best but not the worst either

what temps u getting there with core temps or real temps?
good job by the way

Cpu temps, about 40º C Idle - 55º C load (realtemp). Northbridge I cant say. Thanks

That's a good ram dude !!

keep on testing I'm sure you'll get results, As I told you not every CPU, memory and board are the same

i got no luck at the moment with 600 FSB.but manage 590.when ever i set FSB T to 1.20v
it dosn't post.but with auto or 1.40v its post with no problem.with 590 FSB its on AUTO right now.
i dont know why it dont work with 1.20v. 600 FSB it goes till windows screen but after that it freezes there..... its cpu , MB , or ram, limited any thing else that i can try........

Probably you are approaching to your cpu wall there mate. If you want to take a cpu validation screen at 600, try booting at 585 and raise your fsb with setfsb.

[xpower]

yes i also think that its cpu wall.with setfsb it goes to 595 but not 600.i tried single core that can
takes it to 600 but not with dual core........any thing 600 it freazes.this Q818A254 giving me also stayability problems with 9*445 no matter what volts i used,also tested with auto volts in bios.

After crossflash with P5K Premium 0702 bios I've also managed to get 600 FSB

Nice one nickless.

Could you tell us the difference between the premium and the deluxe bios? Are there more options??

yup what you folks said ... might bring my old P5K Deluxe out of oc'ing retirement

[nickless]

Nice one nickless.

The difference what I've seen between P5K Delux 0902 and 0702 P5K Premium are only in:
CPU PLL voltage - up to 2.20v and NB Voltage - up to 1.95v. Also with the same settings CPU 9.5x500, RAM (5-5-5-15-3-45-6-3-3) 1:1 with both bioses PL of RAM is PL8 for 0902 and PL12 for 0702.

@kup, Before the crossflash the max.FSB what I've reached was 545. I'm not sure, but I suspect this low FSB with 0902 was result of enabling of Transaction booster:level 2, now it's set on Auto.

Here is my settings:

Thanks nickless

hey guys I'm having a hard time to make my bios 311 OCs stable with this 902...

I had 2x1GB Crucial Ballistix 1066 before and are dead...so I bought 2x2Gb mushkin ascent 1066 that require trfc values over 42 wich bios 311 can't provide...so i have to flash this 902 bios...i could make it till 3825 as you can see it some posts behind but i can't make it to 3906

this are my actual settings and prime small and blend fails...

Well I have to tell you that i passed all OC adjusting FSB = 1,3 and NB = 1,4 but i can't pass prime95 on my main best OC that is 3906 with mems at 1088 can you give me a hand ? It's failing both small and blend...

this are my bios settings

3906 (434x9) vcore set on bios 1,4750

JumperFree Configuration Settings
AI Overclocking: Manual
CPU Ratio Setting: 9

Transaction Booster: Auto (should i try anything here ? )

CPU Voltage: 1.4750
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.50
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.30 (tried also 1.4 and no go)
Dram Voltage: 2.0 (tried also 2.1 and no go)
NB Voltage: 1.4

CPU GTL Voltage Reference: 0.63
NB GTL Voltage Reference: 0.67
CPU Spread Spectrum: Disabled

With bios 311 and the ballistix never had to change NB and FSB values i don't know if are the mushkins or the new bios that is forcing me to adjust those...

Any help would be apreciated
Cheers all
Sergio

more NB volts should help

not sure if it helps as been ages since i used my P5K Deluxe for oc'ing but my findings 14 months ago for 0311 vs 0404 bios might hold true for 0902 as well http://i4memory.com/f54/p5k-deluxe-0...161/#post68161 so play with tRTP value to see what AUTO sets and adjust accordingly

Those volts changes are for real, or there only figure in the bios ?? Could you read those with a multimeter?
Change your transaction booster level to 3 for a lower number in performance level.
Also dont forget to disable the DRAM Static Read Control if you are using the Transaction Booster option

I haven't read with multimeter and I don't know are they real (in fact I don't know where are the measurement points )
Thanks about about the transaction booster and DRAM Static Read Control. I noticed that exactly in one of your previous posts. I will try this

[kup]

Crossflash works just fine on the P5K-E too, just disable the Realtek Ethernet and you're all set. Didn't yield any better results than the latest P5K-E bios 1102, which is also identical to the latest Deluxe bios, just as the 0702 Premium bios is...

EDIT: Except the Premium extra voltages.

[monza1412]

ok, I found this link that list the measuring points for the P5K Deluxe, thanks to Supershanks . Now we need anyone with a multimeter and the premium bios to read the VMCH to see if there are any changes at all.
Here is the complete thread.

Thank Eva !! Nice to see you back again in your thread

I'll try some more NB volts but is it safe to 24/7 ?

Guys, im retesting my "dead" p5k deluxe wifi ap...it seems like with pci-e cards it doesnt boot up...BUT,if i dont put any vid card on the pci-e slots, it boots up just fine...thing is i dont have video :P
I tryed with a really old card...a trident with 2 megs of ram, pci card...but i dont get any video...boots up tho. I had this issue before, new mobos dont boot with old pci vid cards...maybe if i get a better o newer one, it might boot correctly, and then reflash the bios?

Thanx for your help guys.

[nefariouscaine]

I'm a bit lazy I'll admit but I'm running out for work and need to pull the trigger on some new overclocking memories - I have the chance to get some nice DDR2-1200 sticks but need to find out if this board can handle high FSB (500+) and high DDR2 frequency (DDR2-1100++) on 4 sticks of ram

I've only had this board (P5K Deluxe) a few months and have been using a Mushkin Redline 2x2 kit the whole time (doesn't clock high than 1050.... )

I'm off to work and search around somemore in the down time - love getting paid to research my OC

Hey Sergio, can you post here the infos and link to this modded bios? Thanks

I don't think he means it's a modded bios. He's on bios 0902 and he has performed the vDroop mod to the board...

Yes Kup you're right

Sorry for if i was wrong, I meant to say Asus P5K deluxe vdrop pencil mod...bios 0902

Cheers and thanks for the correction

Ok then no prob
Thanks for clarify
