ASUS P5E64 WS Evolution - Tips, Tricks, Mods, BIOS, OCing & More...

[Holmer]

Holmer, I followed your posts on this forum and Corsair forum to setup my Evolution. I managed to get a stable 4Ghz at your settings (1.575 Vcore), but with untolerable temperatures. Were you using air or water?

Wow glad I could help you (or anybody else)!
I used the water in my signature (only on the CPU). That v-core is very high if you are using air (even with water) but I disabled LLC so at load is not that bad. I ended up beeing stable in games (and for up to 3 days Prime blend) with only af FSB of 426 (FSB aprox 430 and up was not stable in games even though it was stabe in Prime). I wanted to get a higher FSB that is why I want to watercool the NB.

BTW which BIOS seems to be the best for the Evo these days, the newest beta 0603?. I have not changed since version 0404 (or 0403 can't remember).
