    thanks for the links!
    no worries.
    Dram Static Read Control gives an even bigger boost than Transaction booster, but you may find it less stable.(mentioned at bottom of the page in the x-bit article.)

    Transaction booster @1 works for me on my E6600 with bios 0311(but not on later bios which are faster), but i don't think i've seen any quads working with it.

    It is a decent tweak if you can get away with it

    luck
    Damn, just tried Transaction Booster @0= BSOD
    Dram Static Read Control I enabled= BSOD

    Well I had to try

    Naturally, as you do
    In fairness as i said earlier if your running a later version than 0311 with transaction booster on Auto will give the same performance as 0311 with it enabled.

    I just have them both disabled now, not worth it as my E6850 is running smooth @ 3.6ghz, and I don't want to tempt fate. Though I will try a higher Fsb as soon as I get my PC8500 Ram and Scythe Mine So far this board has been rock solid

    Edit* I meant to say that Dram Static Control is on Auto now, but doesn't that mean its off because with it enabled I get BSOD

    Yep auto means it's off. Transaction booster is more flexible, transaction booster on disablked i think also lets you put in integer values. This supposedly downclocks giving better stability, though i must admit i've not really tried it

    Re: C2D Overclocking Guide For Beginners P5K Add-On

    The thing is that if the DRAM Static Read Control parameter is set to Auto, the mainboard changes its value at this frequency. That is why the performance drops, which is erroneously considered to be caused by Strap changing. To eliminate this unpleasant effect, you should set DRAM Static Read Control to Enabled in the BIOS Setup.
    Taken from that Xbit Labs review. As much as I try and understand and learn about strap changes etc I can never get my head around it, but as far as I know from Clunk and that review is that the P5K doesn't suffer from strap changes, proven by the graph on X-bit. So what are they talking about and are they saying you need to have DSRC enabled otherwise you get a BIG or small difference in performance?

    Re: C2D Overclocking Guide For Beginners P5K Add-On

    sorry yep lookinhg back on my notes on my various settings DSRC has been set mainly to Disabled rather than Auto.

    I find the eastiest way to think about straps is like the gearbox on a car.
    200, 266 and 333MHz
    are like the gear ratios between CPU & memory. So you have 1:1 (low Gear) to higher gears like 4:5 2:3 etc.,

    As stated the p5k is a smoother gearbox than say the p5B

    So basically it has more ratios (gears) and a wider variety then lets say the P5B?

    A little tip: make sure you use the latest RAID drivers (intel) for this board - i got a BSOD the t'other day without 'em whilst playing bioshock.
    Still haven't solved the popping/crackling with an X-FI with this board (sadly) tho (in Vista, it's not too bad in XP).

    Re: C2D Overclocking Guide For Beginners P5K Add-On

    Oh man...

    Clunk, I'm still in "reboot-hell" here.
    Uninstalled the raid and now I am on a single drive spanked up with x32 WinXP.

    I followed your advice,
    ripped out all mem caps,
    then tried one set in the black slots - i get spontaneous reboot

    ripped that pair out and threw in the other pair - i got spontaneous reboot...

    I have sat for DAYS with the digicam in order to catch the blue screen message that flips by on a brink of a second - AND I COUGHT THOSE BASTARDS!!!

    Here are the two different bsod error messages that briefly blinks by before the reboot







    I understand the tdi.sys has something to do with the memory and thus indicating either the memory caps or the processors lcache OR the mobo itself...
    I virus checked the tdi.sys and my entire C: deep anal-izys style but nada nothing resulting in a report that my C: is cleaner than a babys diper...

    As it reboots with BOTH pairs of memory that should exclude them out of the equation, right?

    Wich leaves the mobo and the CPU?

    Help Clunk, how should I interprete this and what actions should I take now???

    Thanks again master for your priceless help!!!

    Start->right click on my computer->select properties->advanced->startup & recovery->settings->uncheck 'automatically restart' to stop it rebooting before you've seen it

    I hate that this is on by default.

    Thanks Dangel, I feel really stupid - this will help me enourmosly next time to catch the BSOD message.

    And mates,
    I have found a thread on Asus homepage about the spontaneous rebooting, check out this

    http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?...Deluxe/WiFi-AP

    Also, please add to the tread if you have the spontaneous rebooting problem!

    Thanx m8s!
