Test setup and Benchmark

System Configuration 1
1. CPU: Intel Q6600 G0 Stepping.
2. Motherboard: Asus P5K Deluxe WIFI
3. RAM: Crucial Ballistix DDR800 x 4
4. Display Card: Sapphire 3870 Crossfire (2 units)
5. HDD: Western Raptor 8MB version x 2 (RAID 0)
6. HDD: Western Digital 250GB SATA HDD
7. Optical Drive: Panasonic SATA DVD RW
8. Monitor: Samsung 931BW
9. Mouse: Logitech G5
10. Casing: Lian Li V1200B-Plus II
11. Keyboard: A4Tech Gaming Keyboard G700
12. CPU Cooler: Xigmatek HDT-1283
13. PSU: Enermax Infinity 650W

Below is the VID that I taken from CoreTemp. Many people believe the Lower VID value represent the CPU is gem or not. I am using a not gem CPU for this benchmark, I guess my result would represent a lot people's result.

the very 1st day i got this P5K deluxe wifi .. the bios didnt detect 1 of my HDD
but i left the assembling of the rig to complete till the next day coz too late at nite liauu .. the next day it worked .. dunno why oso

then few days ago i removed mobo from casing to fit in new cooler .. unplugged all cables etc etc
then when fixed everything back .. it didnt detect one of my HDD and 1 sata optical .. plug and unplugged at least 5-6 times but it couldnt detect

so i tot might as well have a flash at the BIOS .. from 0603 to 0809 versions .. then all the trouble starts coming
it could detect my 2 troubled sata devices .. but not all the time
then it wont boot up from cd/dvd/thumbdrive
cannot OC without doing manual F8 select to boot
optical go crazee on off by itself when using windows but no cd/dvd inside

now ok liauu ... duno why suddenly ok .. but still buggy laa ..

can boot up and OC as usual but temp readings very different from previous BIOS ... the settings in BIOS oso different .. maybe just a matter of taste

now still ok ... tomoro dunno laa .. i already written to ASUS and ask them whats the prob .. they have not replied yet
i spoke to my fren in ASUS .. i might get it RMA-ed then maybe go get the P5E laaa ..

edit .. the best BIOs version to stick with is still the 0603 version laa IMO .. stable and logical OC functions .. hehehehe

I came agross from other forum that people saying the temperature reporting is not correct for bios 0603. Either causing Core Temp or PC Probe reading the wrong tempearture. Not sure you notice this or not. I will try it when I am free.

load oso already 70C .. wanna UP you OC sommo ah ??
there is only ONE WAY to go higher .. that is increase vcore to supplement your FSB or multiplier increase .. and oso more vdimm laa for your DIMMs .. hehehe
that being said .. everything is increase VOLTAGE .. more voltage = more heat ... can u handle it ??? hehehehe

using 0603 bios .. temp reading of CPU (using everest) is almost always 4-5C higher than the individual cores (everest/coretemp)
using 0809 bios .. temp reading of CPU (everest) is about 12C lower than the highest individual cores (everest/coretemp)

which one is the actual correct one ?? hehehehe .. unless u got laser temp measurement device .. there is no way to ascertain the real temp
i dont use the ASUS software provided .. ie. probe and intelligent suite

one more thing about ASUS EZ FLASH BIOS .. it will not let u flash your BIOS back to an older version than the current one .. so THINK CAREFULLY b4 u flash .. hahaha
the UPDATE TOOL oso doesnt work in order to flash older bios

however there is one thing that might work but i couldnt get it to work as it should .. any ideas or tips guys ???
i booted from 3.5inch (borrowed) MS-DOS and oso couldnt get it to work ...

Hi.User of Asus P5K Pro here. Been using both E8400 and E2160 on this mobo. Performance is quite good, with a good range of voltage control.

Here's the performance of my mobo running an E8400 :

CPU : Core2Duo E8400
CPU clockspeed : 4.250 MHz (500 x 8.5)
Motherboard : Asus P5K Pro (Bios rev 0806)
RAM model : Crucial Ballistix Tracer PC6400
RAM capacity : 1GB X 2
RAM speed : 500 MHz, CL4-5-4-12
RAM mode : Dual channel
Voltage detail :
VCore : 1.375V
VDimm : 2.2V
PLL Voltage : 1.6V
FSB Termination Voltage : 1.32V
NB Voltage : 1.47V
PSU : FSP Epsilon 600W, and currently using Mushkin Enhanced 580W modular

Idle temp : 42C
Full load test (running Orthos) : 57C
Temp reading taken using CoreTemp, bu dont think that the temp reading is correct coz touched my heatsink, and its not even warm. Proc cooled using Silent Knight II

have yet to play e2160 on this mobo.no time ler with exam coming.
will post more result later.

you see, the hsf needs time to conduct the heat for it to start to feel warm, maybe after a prime stress test for about 10~15 mins would let the hsf warm up enough.

but then again, e8xxx series DTS is bugged, some read it below temps and some read it above what it is actually is, and some are just dead on the spot accurate, so which do you think is yours?

msyafiq_m

Mar 26 2008, 12:26 PM

i think mine read above,coz i touched the heatsink only after the 2nd hour of stress. :-)

haven't tested using RealTemp tho..some penryn user suggested using RealTemp as the reading is the most accurate for the time being..

e4xxx series

most of them are bad, bad ocers :S

anyway, you can try lowering the multi to 9x and try push again.

alternatively, you can do a bsel pad mod, which does in some cases have a better ocing headroom, but you need to check if your cpu will boot or/is stable at 266fsb x10 or 333fsbx10, depending on whichever is more stable

@tnhafiz : before u think of changing proc, why dont u try to look for a matching pair of RAM?it will help u a lot in OC'ing,trust me. your mobo can reach fsb of 450MHz+ easily, i've tried and tested it before this.
keep in mind that at the same clockspeed : (higher fsb X lower multiplier) is always better than (lower fsb X higher multiplier)

Mar 28 2008, 01:16 PM

Im very care about temp. Thats why all my test consists of two different torture test software. Always use TAT and Prime95. I like to take my temp reading when cpu is fully stresses by prime95. 12hour prime, highest cpu temp is 63. The average is 57 using Core temp and CPUID. Load vcore 1.352v.

My room very hot because facing the sunshine and no aircond. And the time i stress my system was start at 11.30pm. Good time to stress system at this condition. hot day, hot room, hot cpu........I believe when stressing my system at full night my temp reading will decrease around 3'C, because that time temp around u usually drop significantly.

For information, running my quad@3.7 , idle 47'C, fully load at 70'C. Quite hot due to 1.52v CPU-Z reading.

Bro, i cant say stable at 3.7 becoz for me stable means stable under stress test more than 8 hours. But me fail after 4hours ++ 1 of my core was fail.

, Im using TRUE 120, no aircond at my room, very hot room becoz facing sunshine.

x48 is just a higher bin x38
other than that the rampage formula board and maximus is the same
so using the right afudos u can flash the rampage bios into the maximus
to get full mem overclocking especially the performance levels
and also better gtl range.

u need engineering afudos if u want to flash back.

So, my previous question ain't silly. It's just you downgraded back meaning the latest BIOS got prob.

I know flashing BIOS is to solve previous problem but usually people will flash to latest, so that's why I'm asking why downgrading back? Is there a problem. So it's nothing silly.

again ure silly
its flashing a different mobo bios..
if shit happens dont u want to go back to the bios meant for ure mobo..

thats y u need the engineering afudos.

its not downgrading..its A DIFFERENT BIOS ALL TOGETHER..

do a google and find out difference with rampage formula and maximus formula

Told you it's almost the same thing. Different BIOS coz different chipset. I know Maximus and I know Rampage. Don't come and say silly coz you don't know everything too. The difference only you've experience. God damn it, what an arrogant person you are. Enough said bout that.

My question was what's wrong with the current BIOS? Could you just state you have some difficulties and problems rather than saying other people silly. Or you're trying to brag that yourself as an enthusiast so you can call noob to others

Everyone knows if you go from current to latest coz you have some problems with the current. But when flashing Maximus to Rampage or the othe way round, not many people have done that. So the consequences and results should be shared.

Sorry if this post offence you or any other people. I'm just saying that I asked a simple question and the answer from an experience person is 'Silly'. I'm really frustrated with the attitude that is being given just because you have the luck and experience to experiment with many hardwares. Have some manners please, this is a place to share and not to brag yourself. The information shared will benefit more people than just me. 'nuff said here. Pardon me Admin and Mods.

rampage seems to give quite a good range of gtl, may be that what i need for my e2220 to break ghz with lower voltage....the bloody chip default pll voltage is so high

hrm.... may be i should try rampage bios too.....may be i'll consult cstkl1 later when i got time.... so many work pile up late, need to find more time to play with my maximus.

bokbeng, not many p5e user around here i guess
