P5K Deluxe Wifi AP Thread.

Yep but it didn't flash rather than flashed & then shows an error.

any thoughts on the nvram thing??

[Clunk]

That was my thoughts on the nvram thing ^^ up there

So, it only does it since it failed the bios flash?

How about trying the crash free bios thing from the cd?

[Supershanks]

Sorry thought

Yep, mine does it, and so did both P5Bs...I think its just the check for the cmos memory

reffered to the boot block.

Yep i thought/wondered if it was a dmi/cmos check.

No it's done that most of the time.

Tried the cd & tried afudos. Never mind

Well i got to 3.0 ghz following Clunk's instructions - tried 3.4ghz and it died on stock volts. Couldn't be bothered with upping the voltage so left it at 3.0ghz and then upped the RAM (4 gig @ 4-4-4-12) back to 800mhz. All seems rock solid and plenty fast Honestly, 3.0ghz was so easy to do - amazing Peak temp with both cores 100% (orthos) was 56C on water which seems high. MB temps managed to reach 53C which still has me worried - all stable tho. Hmm.

The RAM voltage increments looked much coarser on my board than the one's shown - 3 decimal places versus four (I think). I'm still on the 311 BIOS atm(?).

Play stops for a few days whilst i rig up the new 8800 GTX (with me 2morrow) and it's EK watercooling (fitting, leak testing, refitting, benching, overclocking, benching yadda yadda).

Good going 3 to 3.4 is abit of a big jumpp without extra volts
Peak of 56C seems a bit high, i'm on water as well 3.6k with 1.525v vcore & get around 54C peak,

luck with the rest

[Clunk]

Youll have to do a few pics when its done..and some before and after overclocking figures

Yeah I know, tbh it was just a random quick go to see what happened. Windows did boot (1st time) but orthos failed. Second boot and the PC reset itself lol

Thanks - it is pretty warm in that room so taking ambients into accounts that's probably not too far off. I'm only looking at the Asus probe thing and i don't entirely trust asus s/w from experience

yeah might well do - i really ought to get a new case tho - it's getting crowded it there. The Antec Nine Hundred springs to mind as a a good way to go

That probably explains it the i find CoreTemp best that's what i'm quoting., i also use Official Motherboard Monitor 5 (MBM5) Update 3 with Core(TM) Temp plugin which is 100% in line with coretemp but is more fiddly to install.
it shows a bit more info

MBM is shown at bottom centre

Nice overclock man

Nice overclock man

Thanks, that's a downclock
That was when i was 1st testing my ram at 1200 , b4 integrating it into 9x400 which is what i run 24/7 now. Was the only pic i could find showing mbm desktop

Hello everyone I just got the P5K Dlx a few days ago, and am very very happy with it so far.
Thanks to everyone participating in this thread.

At the moment i am running my old P4 650 Northwood on it, stock 3.40 GHz, at 4.01GHz, vCore 1.4750v. Waiting for an E6850 tho RAM runs very good, i bought some cheap OCZ DDR2-800 CL4, runs at 470MHz with 4-4-4-15 but sure needs 2.20v. Just figured i would add my two cents to this thread,
especially that a Noctua NH-U12F fan fits just fine between those heatpipes. It is a very tight fit, but its ok, doesnt touch anywhere, but hard to see on those pictures. Temps are ok i guess, ~37c idle, ~47c running Orthos.

Oh, i need 5+ posts before adding links hehe. Well might add some pictures here later then.

All in all, i am just another happy owner of the P5K and can sure recommend it.
Oh btw, i went straight to 0404 bios, no problems whatsoever (yet).

Welcome to Hexus mate

I think you are the first person that I've seen running a P4 in a P5K, you should be in for a surprise when your E6850 arrives

[gLk*zaP]

Thanks Well i cant wait for it. Really have to hold myself back from buying a e6600 right now.
My good ol' P4 is ok, just not enough horses to play 1080p HDTV without any probs.

[Supershanks]

Hi & welcome it will be interesting to see what you think of ther comparison between your current CPU & the E6850. It's acomparison not many of us have seen, i think , as we've come from amd rigs.

Look forward to seiing the pics

[gLk*zaP]

Well right now my best results are these:

SuperPI 1M: 32.281sec, Everest Mem Read: 7466 MB/s, Mem Write: 5011 MB/s Latency: 81.8 ns
Sandra Dry: 9745, Whet: 12009, Mem Bandwidth Int: 5833 MB/s, Float: 5918 MB/s Latency: 104 ns
Cache & Memory Bandwidth: 12414 MB/s 8.7 ns

Guess i can expect a lot from the e6850 then. Probably below 20sec on 1M, and hopefully i can squeeze my new RAM a bit more to reach 8000+ MB/s in Everest hehe.

[Clunk]

You'll be halving those superpi scores
