3. Enable conroe/kentsfield ratio overclocking higher above default value

am i reading that right ... u can go up on the multiplyer now or am i reading that wrong.

if so thats amazing. if not then what does it mean since i missunderstood

[aggybong]

It's for the X6800 C2Ds.

E6300/E6400/E6600 are laser locked no unlocking for them.

Your link goes Asus support site that list 507 as the latest bios...

EDIT: OK it's not a direct link.... But you can navigate to 614.... Thanx

hey guys.
do i need to clear CMOS with the jumper after upgrading to a new bios with this board?

I set everything back to standard settings before flashing, and used the in-BIOS EZFlash utility and USB stick. No problems there, 0614 running fine here. No real overclocking just yet since my HSF hasn't arrived yet. I reached 8x425 with Intel stock HSF but not Orthos stable, unfortunately. And I didn't need to clear CMOS after flashing.

Where did you find those fix ?
I need to know what´s new on the new BIOS 509 for P5B

RT2 before Flashing go to BIOS setup and do "load optimized default" after go to Flash and after it again go to BIOS setup and do "load optimized default" and save it, Now u can OC your babe!!

E6300/E6400/E6600 are laser locked no unlocking for them.

really?

[JoeBar]

Downloading now. Update later...

[Freez]

Updated, now my voltage is what I set it at. I currently have it at 1.5 and ASUS probe is showing 1.5, while before it showed 1.47 when set at 1.5.

[Gambit_2K]

The version of the 0614 that leaked earlier last week was a beta bios then? Maybe I should flash this on just in case.

[pcdoc1]

Didn't change vcore reporting for me...... Bios 1.35 Probe/Idle 1.31 Probe/Load 1.28

[aggybong]

It's the same file as the one that was floating around earlier. They have the same checksum.

[hatakiller]

was the bios removed? i only see 507 as latest bios

[aggybong]

The Asus page is extremely unreliable. Sometimes it even reverts back to 40x versions, but the FTP always has the latest.

[Brave]

NOIIICEEE !!! This bios version fixed all my probs of overclocking !!!

can you plz post direct link to file then...thx in advance

For the latest files.

Just flashed to 0614 and I'm playing around with the FSB according to Tony's thread about NB straps. Great results! I'm large FFT dual prime stable at 401MHz bus at basically stock memory voltage. Yippee!

That means that if I up my E6600 from x7 multi to x8, feeding it vCore should be all I need to get it equally stable. It appears my E6600 is maybe slightly more of a vCore hog than some others from this forum. Mine needed 1.3875 set in the bios to be stable at 3.0GHz (but on P5B deluxe that means about 1.36V, even less under load). 1.40 in the BIOS isn't enough for 3.2GHz, I'll probably need to be closer to 1.45

[GAR]

Lost memory bandwidth and some 3d performance....bandwidth went from 7423 to 7233 ........lost some points in CSS, AQUAMARK, 3DMARK.....so back to the good old 0507.

[dinos22]

it's behaving exactly the same as 0607 for me

my EIST is still not working for some reason

just priming now at my 24/7 settings...........it looks the same..............vcore/temps/rest as the previous bios

[pcdoc1]

my EIST is still not working for some reason

Same thing here.... EIST could be pretty cool if it would work with your OC... Let you slam on load and coast on BS. I've had it somewhat working, it would drop the multiplier but never dropped vcore...

[ScottFern]

hasn't been any overwhelming comments that compel me to update to this bios. :-/
