ASUS First 965C2 Motherboard P5B-E FSB 500

[AndreYang]

andre NO man i thought you of all people knew this.

Felix said over a month how to make it work properly.
and it works 100% for me everytime.

when you use Memset DO NOT HIT EXIT!!! YOU MUST HIT THE X BUTTON IN THE UPPER CORNER.

i cant believe you missed that he said this like a dozen times already. and i been telling people the same things.

now use memset silly :P

If you didn't EXIT, you would lose some super pi speed. Many people doesn't like that, especially super pi limit overclock.

I try to tweak 965 memset, it doesn't help speed much. So I never use memset on 965chip. I still can do super pi faster than some people score.

what ? lose super pi speed where did you hear that ? and what .05 seconds ? come on.. O_o
you are exiting the program when you hit X but its not letting the bug happen.

I try it later. Thanks Lestat.

Is there no MCH voltage control on this board? How can you get 500FSB with no VMCH?

[Lestat]

I try it later. Thanks Lestat.

i tested 1m pi just real quick to see about your theory of losing time.
and for 1m pi i didnt lose anything.
i tested no memset
memset open
then memset close by hitting X

no loss or gain of speed.

i didnt test 32m as i didnt feel like waiting around for each test to run lol.

good question.

if the bios programmers did their job correctly(i aint saying the didn't) they would have the bios auto adjust the vmch according to fsb speed/bus speed.

that is what auto is suppose to do but it never ever is programmed to be that way. someday maybe a programmer will actually get the balls to make "auto" mean what it is supposed to mean. "auto" the user doesnt ahve to adjust anything.

either way good eye there. i didnt even notice he didnt show a vmch in the bios.


andre is that right the bios doesnt have a vMCH setting ? if no,, then wow! that makes 500 even better if it can to that with auto, or low volts.

[Caubecari]

Seem like this board is the same price with DS3 but overclock better little bit. The max for DS3 around 485-490 for E6300.

BIOS has no VMCH setting.

[Evilsizer]

do you have a timeframe on this board for the states?

[Brahmzy]

Yeah, I might use this for the wife's C2D build instead of the P5B D - It's got the Intel Matrix controller. When will we see it?

its both hardware and software.
here is intels list of mobos that support/use matrix raid :
975x
G965
P965
Q965
Q963

It's just another crappy board from Asus ~~ Cheap components.. and yet selling at freaking high price??

Be serious man~~ Who wants this crap piece of board with such a low cost components?? Not to say all-solid capacitors which DS3 has.. And PCB Made In China?? This makes me laugh ~~ Is Asus mis-treating their workers like Foxconn??

Poor Andre~~ having such fun with such a ty board

[Brahmzy]

Troll a lot?

[Revv23]

i was going to get a p5b dlx but this thing looks like a real monster, get a soldering iron on it and we can have some fun.



Thanks again andre for a good preview.

[Merkor]

Andre, will there be a P5B-E Deluxe edition as well?

[ghg]

@Andre

Any news about a new bios from ASUS,
maybe with VMCH settings and higher Vdimm ?

[erwinz]

yup.. additional VDIMM is going to be goo with this board.. nice clocks btw..

[serious1]

its out. Here on back order.

[Phosphate]

ASUS P5B-E will use New 965C2 and the price will be between DS3 and S3.



The first BIOS Memory Voltage is only 2.1V and cannot add any MCH voltage. I will ask ASUS to get new BIOS before the mobo is available on the market.

So I only test FSB 500 DDR2 100 5-5-5-15 2.1V

Nice 500 FSB and this will be a cheap board. LOL, I knew they were going to do this......where was this board back in July? (Back then the only cheap board was DS3)

I can tell this will be a good one. Hopefully on par with P5B deluxe without all the fluff.

[elec999]

My next systems board, with a e6330,2gig ram. 4x250.10 in matrix raid 0+5.
Thanks

Be greatful sir , there is no need for calling it what you did.

Remember this is going to be a cheap board and that is very good for people who overrclock. Overclocking boards are usually very expensive and it will help you get the max of your cpu.

Also its a revised chipset and it has more to offer it needs to mature, just like every chipset.

why would he be greatful? he was the first to hit 600fsb.

[nooh]

why would he be greatful? he was the first to hit 600fsb.

ego breaks a man, theres no need for it.

This guy is showing you future products and yes he has a right to a opinion but ty isnt one.

PS do you think he hit 600fsb the first day it came out , very unlikely.

Also its people like Andre Yang that make this joint what it is , being rude is never a good thing

[vintage_guitar]

he also tested other c2 boards, which i believe earns him the right to state his opinion on this board, don't you?

[nooh]

opinions - that can mean anything people want it to be.

All i am saying is there are good ways to say the same thing , there is no need for it.

Like if i want a apple , i can say "excuse me sir can I have a apple please?" or I can say " hey dumbf**K give me that apple right now or I whoop your A*s"

That is all I am saying.
