**- Official Asus P5K Thread -**

It means no vga/vga failure.

You could try an RMA the card but i would definitely try another card if possible first.

Remove the competitor like metalface says. Seems silly asking another competitor on what there rma process is.
 
Hi all i need your opinions on which mobo to buy , my 680i board has died so i was looking to buy either a asus p5kc or the asus p5k-e , which is the best clocker ?? i am watercooling so i need a decent clocker but dont want to spend the kind of money a deluxe would be + i need money for a new gfx card also , looking on a few forums there seems to be plenty that keep the heatpipes and not bother changing them for other coolers even when going for big overclocks .
 
Well got mine and all's fine....running @ 3.6ghz....managed a super pi 1mb time of 12.488 @ 4.1ghz don't know what's the best settings to use yet...and vdamper works great so i am pleased.:D
 
i noticed a weird thing while checking the temps
i have a stable 8x400 mhz q6600, windows & coretemp were reporting 8x449.8 and cpuz the same on my bios.
I did an update on the bios as i saw there was a non beta version available that got released lately, and here is what i get now

with the new bios that was not stable btw, i was getting a lot of blue screens, and i went down to 380x8 and coretemp reports 427x8

this board has let me down again,

got my nice shinney 800mhz ram today and the board will not post @ 400fsb. which is very very disappointing.

even if i up the mch/fsb termination voltage. very frustrating. what a waste of money, i just hope its actualy one of the silly settings causing the problems and not that board

My P5K-E does 425mhz FSB without problem
 
I would also be curious as to what some of the settings mean.

Trying to work out why i cant POST at >370mhz fsb. and not stable at >340!

which when i hear about people getting these boards without changing and voltages or owt to 500fsb makes me think i've got a crappy setting somewhere.




If i had the cash i'd throw this board away i realy would. been nothing but problamatic since i got it :(
 
My P5K-E came with very latest bios 0603 and well pleased have beaten the abit and matched the biostar...so that's 4.1Ghz super pi 1mb so far!.:D...and for info on ram the Geil pc6400 ultra and ocuk pc8500 works fine.

Had My P5KC for quite some time now and all running great.

Did have a PS/2 keyboard issue a while back but now using USB KB connection and all is good.

My standard routine for this board: Disable JMICRON PATA controller, disabled floppy, disabled C1E, Disabled Speedstep.

Anyone got any other performance BIOS tweaks ?

Running Q6600, 4x1GB XMS2 ddr800, xfi gamer, vista 32, 2x sata2 hdd, sata dvdrw, wifi card.
 
I've not encountered any issue - I only got a BSOD when overclocking the ram too or making the timings tighter when oc'd but that's to be expected for 4 sticks of 5-5-5-12 6400 ram.
