Still playing with my board, actually got some issue with playing videos maybe codec related though.Thinking of upgrading my oem vista ultimate to retail and install 64 bit wonder if there is any boost in performance. As of now just a mild OC, cstkl ask me to find my own ngam2 settings ='(

Mind to let me know what is the motherboard that you are using?

hmm let you guys knoe bout my oc atempt on p45 p5q later rite now too lazy to go for it..once i get my ram ok off will go to oc..waiting to get pc8000 g skill ram.

striker II formula with a E8400 chip.

Just upgraded my P5E running P5E 702 BIOS to RAMPAGE BIOS

So far so good. Overclock Q6600 to 3.6 GHZ stable after 30 minutes of blend prime95. Before this can only reach 3.52 stable. Uses much lower Vcore also.

hii

it seems my mobo will do a double boot when i turned on the cpu in oc profile...
anyone have this same kind of situation?is it normal? any blitz user?

hi....ill buy asus P45 deluxe next month.so,anyone want to buy my P5KR can ask me.price negotiable.

so far,i can oc til 380fsb with my e4500 proc.

Just got Asus P5Q-Pro + Core2Duo E8400 + 4 gigs Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800 + Zotac 8800GT + WD 500G x2 RAID 0

so far very satisfied with the board. Able to overclock to 4 GHz (9x fsb 445) effortlessly , no change in vcore.

only thing is Temps high. Using Lian Li PC-07 + Gemini II (2 fans+ Artic Cool-MX2) idle temps 40 C but after orthos for 15 minutes temps max at 64 c. I think can overclock more but don't dare becoz of temps. Funny though, heatsink mildly warm only.

any how...3Dmark 2006 is 13200+

any1 here tested the p5q deluxe 16 phase power

hows the ocablity?? better than mars?

i might wanna buy taht one lo

What are your experience with the Rampage 403 bios. For my higher OC with lower voltage compared to the P5E 702 bios. Also, it solves my game instability problem. Dirt will always hang and Prostreet cannot run at all. After changing the bios, no problem with either games.



MY specs:

P5E @ Rampage BIOS
Q6600 @ 3.6
Vcore 1.48
Sappire 3870 CF

You mean the bad batch is my CPU or my Gemini II cooler.... .....I tightened the bolt for the cooler the best I can.....I am not sure if it may damage the CPU or MOBO if i twist any further. Thanks for ur suggestion though

I heard that CPU temps in 8400 can be wacky....how is ur temps?

heatsink mildly warm weird wei

shud be hot

just buy bolt and nuts from shop lar

or try to find some good clamp that will keep ur heatsink in good contact with the cpu die

some xigmatek thread in the cpu garage sale got sell

maybe i shud give it a try...still on 0401 right now

Personally, I still prefer the standard version since I don't have any compatibility issue with memory at all.

i'm using P5E also. May I know where I can get the Bios you mentioned?

I just upgraded my P5K SE to P5Q Deluxe. Gonna try the OC soon. Current temperature while running EPU-6 engine(will add overclocked temp later):



With air conditioning:

Edit: After overclocking, went Vista after having some issues with sound running at default PCI speed on XP. Comp doesn't start when it's more than 366mhz and I get overclocking failed after powering it off and on. I think it's my power supply. Gonna have to get a better power supply and water cooling to test it's true potential. 366mhz bus went 68C and I got scared. However, the vcore didn't drop when I have the EPU-6 on. Stressed it at 333mhz and this is the result for Asus Silent Knight II and this board after an hour with air conditioning on.
