ASUS P5Q-E (P45) pre-view

[ahmad]

FWIW, my E7200/P5Q-E will do 533fsb all day at 1.36v on NB. 550fsb wants 1.40v but running 2x2GB ram w/XP64 may be a slight part of the extra volts needed.

478fsb / 1.28vNB / 333strap here.

Sorry for all the posts. The extra vNB is looking promising (currently 1.20v). I just ran Pi 32M and Aquamark 3, both of which crashed the machine before, but now they run great. Ahmad, you were probably right -- the NB voltage was too low before. At least now I know it can do at least 430 FSB on 1.14v. I'll Prime this and hopefully return with good results from what I thought was a dog of a chip.

I'll test at lower vnb later, right now I have two 120 blowing on that thing so it stays nice and cool even at 1.50v.

Glad to here you finally made it over that wall. 4.3GHz is a great result.
