Asus P5B Deluxe Interesting Settings Result

Thanks for sharing Luie. Got my commando last week & am just building up ocing experience on conroe, coming from amd. currently 24/7 @ 356x9. your findings particularly the voltage ones around fsb etc., will be useful guides.

You have awesome specs there. O.O
(I wonder if RAM prices will fall after Vista comes out) :-(
RAM prices would probably jump very high just before it comes out.
Just speculating...

Thanks Luie, took a lot of saving scheming & xmas came late(asked 4 the £), but yes im pleased with it.

I started planning this upgrade last august & whilst the £ of most components have come down marginally think ram has gone up. Think with ddr2 it's just the volume of new demand from pps upgrading from 939 & DDR rigs to conroe or am2. They say a new os launch promotes pc dsales, so can't see £ coming down soon i'm afraid.

luck

Thanks for sharing Luie. Once I finally get my pump fixed and get my rig running I'll be using this for reference.

Thanks a ton pal.

I just got a P5B-D. I will definitely be using this tonight to start my OCing.

Thanks for the responses.

BIOS version 1004 is out.

In case anyone is interested, my results are posted at:

Great post there luie.

I've been experimenting like yourself for the past couple of weeks but not as meticulous with my notes I'm afraid.

I have just put together an E6400 and P5B-Dlx watercooled combo with a Corsair 2Gb 6400C4D kit (expensive bit relatively and took a few gulps to press the “buy” button ).
Coming from AMD Bartons I had a lot of reading around to do, including the strap guides about this mbd (like this one.......http://www.thetechrepository.com/showthread.php?t=30).

Once I got used to the P5B’s quirks (including false starting) and the “FSB Gap” at 360-399 MHz I’m very happy with this setup and the o/c is amazing (once past 401fsb the fun begins ).

I've stuck to the 910 bios for now because a few comments here put me off the 1004.

Awesome specs.

Thanks for the link. I haven't came across that thread before. O.O
Might learn something new.
Thanks.

I've had better success with my northbridge at 1.45v, getting up to 400 so far. At 1.25v though, I couldn't get it past around 320. Amazing what a little extra voltage can do.
