Asus P5B

Are there any spots on the FSB on this board where it doesn't want to work properly?

Everything is fine 340 but when I get to 350 one core keeps coming up with errors even though I keep upping the volatage (from 1.25 to 1.325)

I then increased the FSB to 360 but it was still there...

Don't want to jump to over 400 if it doesn't like 350!

Any help? Cheers!

Edit: P5B Deluxe :rolleyes:

What processor are you using mate?

I'm running my P5B-Deluxe @ 475mhz FSB with my E6300.

E6600 & an Arctic freezer thing

Temps are ok BTW (I always forget to mention stuff...) when I was getting the error in Orthos at 360 and the higher voltage neither core hit 65 and the overall temp never hit 70. Only monitoring in Everest though.

The E6600 does get a little toasty.

A friend had the Artic Cooler with his E6600 and was getting the same temps. In the end upgraded to get a higher overclock.

I would suggest upping the voltage even higher to get a faster clock. Try 1.40. My E6300 is running at 1.45v. Although watch your temps. Your temps are a little high with that low voltage now. Try and Stay on the right side of 65c.

K, There is no way of me getting the chip over 3.2... is fine @ 3.1 I think. Will stress test proper later.

It should be ok if I give it more volts but it's fine 1.3V at 3.1 but not only was it getting hot at 1.4v, Core 0 was still not stable.

Now got it at at 496x6 on a 1:1 divider @ 992mhz 5-5-5-15

This gives me a clock speed of 2.9 and a rated FSB of 1984mhz.

Only thing is whenever I put the FSB on or above 500 it fails to post, why is this?

Cheers!
