**- Official Asus P5K Thread -**

at last it seems to work

i just wanted to say thx to Devious, lay-z-boy, andyr-- and all other for the help given..

i have just go my system to work well. the board has no major problems and seems to be in love with the OCZ Reaper 9200.

have have just started some proper tests,



i noticed the temp is high, although the room temp is approx 30º. i will replace my air cooler with my swiftech over the weekend. this should drop the temp quite a lot.

i'll leave orthos over night and post more results tomorrow
 
Ouch, 71 degrees Celsius! And that's only Orthos Blend; it'll probably hit 75-76 with Intel TAT. Very nice overclock, though. My E6600 is stuck at 377x8 :(

Would you mind posting your BIOS settings, nickinmarbella?
 
To those using Asus PC Probe II, do you sometimes get a window saying "I am service!!". It seems to installed with Probe II however if you end the process and open PC Probe II, it opens fine :confused:

I'm been trying to find a way to prevent this process from starting, I've looked in the registry, startup folders and even services and I'm unable to get rid of it :(

Yeah, i do. Not anymore, though, because i've uninstalled ASUS Probe II. What do you use the program for? I'm sure there's an alternative program you could use so you won't have to worry about the "I am service" thing.

this has given me a very stable 3.69Ghz @ 460*8, with high temps...
P5k, E6700, 2 gig of Ocz 9200 Reaper, on air... and it's bloody hot in marbella

ANY SUGGESTIONS TO MAKE IT BETTER WOULD BE GREATFUL

To see voltages and motherboard temperature :p

Is there a decent alternative to PC Probe II? :)
 
nickinmarbella, use Intel TAT and see what kind of temperature your CPU is at. I'm betting it'll be in the 80s; i think you should probably back your overclock off a bit.

Edit: Man, i'm a dumbass... i should've just edited my post above. :rolleyes:

i got it too a 480 fsb @8= 3840.. might get to 4 gigs with water...:)
with the same temps...

i'll install my water system over the weekend... that will drop the temps.,..

as far as the volts go.. i am just playing around at the moment, if the system stays this quick, i'll drop the fsb and and volts.. 3.3gig at stock volts is fine for my needs,,

That happened once during a large BIOS change. It felt like a power thing.. :confused:
Does it happen with small changes? i.e. only changing Vcore by 0.125, save and exit.. and nothing??
The latest BIOS, 0507, seems more robust imo. Have you tried that?

I need lots of Vcore to run above 3GHz with my 2160. Currently on 3.3GHz with 1.5625v thanks to the pencil mod :D

happens with small changes i think. its so bad ive given up on oc'ing. it wont boot at 400mhz fsb either. not impressed with this mb.
 
Devious said:
Yeah i did the pencil mod, the difference before was around 0.08 between set and actual and it also drooped another 0.02 on load. :eek:

Now, i set 1.5375v and it shows 1.52v and no vdroop now, in fact it goes up 0.008 to 1.528 :)

is it hard to do the pencil mod? been looking about the forums and seems to be doable my a total novice.

any tips?

Buy a nice sharp 2B or softer pencil (dont get the H pencils = hard)

I checked my set volts in bios and compared to what is read in hardware monitor and made a note.

Then i just gently rubbed it up and down (in a ovalish shape) around 10 times then booted again and check the voltages again in the bios. My vcore had risen up to nearer the set but was still a bit off. I probably did another 10 oval and checked again and it was within .01v which I was happy with :)

Im not sure whether you can do it too much.

not sure if i should do this, i might try it on an old dfi board 393.. but thanks for the advise.
can wait to put the water system together. see the temps drop..:)
