what ram have you got there mr clunk?
nearlly 4gz with a quad, I bet the mosfets are toasty
Around 80c under load, not everyday tempsOriginally Posted by aidanjt
What sort of temps are you getting at that frequency?.. my C2D cores are idling at 21-24C now that the AS5 has set btw
Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500.
Hot, but not red hot, got a 92mm yate loon dangling in front of them
You owe it to yourself to click here really.
yep it'a a little wuff.pity Chelsea won
nice 1 clunk looks like best memory you've had for a while works well with the new mem controller
Blimey

Asus P5K Deluxe - Intel P35 Bearlake + Intel E6600 B1 ES / Q6600 Kentsfield / X6800
post#3 is interesting about the CPU Voltage Damper Option
Yes, Ive been using it. I forgot I had enabled it, and I noticed my temps were up a lot, but they would be because the voltage is about 0.5 higher than it would be without it

It is very good RAM, got some myself the other day. What volts are you giving it to get those frequencies? Not that I could reach them on this 975 board anyway....Blimey
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc?id=199476P5B deluxe is in transit though
2.3v with a fan directly on them. The Team ones needed 2.45 to get even close to these.
I thought 975 were good for tight timings? Ah well, youll love the P5B

Don't seem to be as good as 965, and the frequency the board can handle maxes out at 470same prob on a few 975 boards depending on manufacturer
Pretty impressive work there Mr. Clunk, by both you and the ram.
Have you had any issues at all with the board so far? Stability or otherwise? I have to say it's looking increasingly good from your adventures here. I just intend to clock an E6600/Q6600 (or a Xeon X3220) up to 3GHz and then leave it there until my next upgrade, which ought to be a doddle compared to your work.

Every quirk that I've encountered so far has been mentioned in this thread, the only issues I've had were from a dying set of ram.
Annoying bits;
Sata ports blocked, possibly only one.
Sata ports on backwards..L-shaped cables go accross the board instead of away from it
Piss poor bundle, especially for a deluxe model, just the basic stuff supplied, a few crap cables and bits and bobs.
Crap Jmicron controller again.
Good stuff;
Awesome overclocker.
Great for Ram overclocking as well.
Likes tight timings.
No chipset strap changeover at 400fsb (or anywhere that I've found yet).
Heatpipe things fit properly.
Recovers well from a bad overclcock 99.9% of the time.
Nicely set out bios, everything in one place for overclocking.
Loads of voltage tweaks.
Voltage damper to help get rid of droop.
500+fsb with quad core.
Theres probably loads that Ive missed

Sounds good, I must say. Sadly, the blocked SATA port(s) is probably a dealbreaker for me, considering an 8800GTX will probably reside in the first PCI-E. The DS4 from Gigabyte may be an option too, but all in all I think I'm still favouring the P5B. Especially considering it's been guaranteed to work with the new processors.
Good to see you're having fun though.
Had mine for a few weeks and using an 8800GTX, you can use all the SATA ports by using a straight SATA connector in port 0 and an angled connector in 3. This means the connectors (just) avoid interfering with the 8800GTX's components.Sounds good, I must say.

Both types of connector are included with the board.
Mine only came with straight cables, I have some right angled ones on the way. The only right angled ones I have, mean that the cables go accross the board, which is no use.
I'm guessing you have a waterblock on the GTX?
Heres one with an air cooler on, and it blocks 4 of them.
How you finding the board then mate? Got any screenies for us?
