Asus P5K Bearlake P35 chipset motherboard >> TESTING LATEST INTEL CHIPSET

[BobHarris]

Is it possible to mount an Infinity or Ninja to replace the stock HSF? Will a larger HSF get in the way because the Dominator fins are too high?

When the P965 and P35 are running at the same FSB, is the P35 northbridge cooler?

In a german forum a guy with a P5K-deluxe WiFi enabled the "CPU voltage damper" option in the BIOS to get ultra-stable vcore. He then had no idle/load vcore difference anymore shown in cpu-z.

Very good news if that is what it does.

Looks like Asus finally implemented the feature

Hi dinos22, the 4:5 ram ratio works fine also at high fsb or have same problem that 965P chipset.

Ok now, take your DMM and find which SMD res. are connected with pin 4 ( the fourth pin from the dot ) [ hmm I need to upload a pic for clearing this one out me thinks ] [ counting the pin next to the dot as pin 1 ]
Penciling a SMD connected to pin 4 will result in higher Vcore ( Vcore mod )
( I marked with blue two SMDs which might be the right ones for Vcore )
I can't find the Vdroop without having the board here

Vcore can be read from the same resistor needed for Vcore mod

Vdimm shall be performed on the 8 pin ( 4 per side ) chip next to the DIMM slots ( outer side ), just let us know which chip is used there.
You can measure Vdimm from pin 7 ( might be a wrong number, I have to double-check ) inside a DIMM slot, or possibly from the choke under the DIMM slots.

moral of the story is >>> err check the cables before you turn on the PC....if you up stick the hardware in a freezer and do a chicken dance for 10 minutes and pray it boots hahahahahha

Please shoot a video of the "chicken dance" and post it on YouTube, then link it in a stickied thread on the Memory forums. TIA. BTW - Nice post. When 45nm drops ... I'll be taking a serious look.

i've tried to do some initial Strap testing to determine whether strap changes at the same FSB MHz as P965 chipset

I must say from initial testing it seems as though Asus has resolved the strap issue as i've only seen one change at ~295MHz FSB which is probably 800 > 1066 but i have to test this


Here are the testing settings



Where i was getting RAM bandwidth info



and results i got so far

Please note that i got a board powerdown at two different FSBs >> 295MHz and you can see the bandwidth drop and at 400MHz however the bandwidth kept raising w00t >> I will need to test this to see whether windows performance reflects this too

Nice! dinos, Thank for strap graph

[Lestat]

any reason why you left PCI-E Spread Spectrum on Auto ?
SS typically hurts clocking.

[OBR]

My MSI has only 1:1 divider and above, i cant to overclock it because high frequency of RAM, higher then 460MHz FSB

Nice! dinos, Thank for strap graph

cheers

don't forget this is still not confirmed until i fully test it.....and determine which strap it is exactly too

Re: Intel chipset driver 8.3.0.1011.
There's an "intel_inf_8.4.0.1010 beta" available.
Intel Matrix Raid: "intel_msm_7.5.0.1017beta"
And JMicron driver "Jmicro_jmb36xx.1.17.17whql" .
All at: www.station-drivers.com.
Could you post a screenshot of your Windows Device Manager, with these categories expanded:
IDE/ATAPI Controllers
SCSI and Raid Controllers
System Devices
And, did you attempt to enable SATA "AHCI mode", either on JMicron or Intel port?
Note: if updating Intel Inf drivers, running the .EXE installer won't update to the newer drivers.
Must be manually updated for each device.

Full version is 8.3.0.10.13 i have it ...

kje si dobil tole????

[ncsa]

Look for the Crystal and somewhere closeby will be the gen chip, hopefully its on the Clockgen list ...

what is the PLL for clockgen.......i don't want to stuff it up in case it's not the P5B deluxe one you know what i mean

clockgen read the CPU clocks but i didn't set the PLL in settings

I confirm that again. No Vdroop with enable "CPU Volt Damper"

ps: sometimes vdroop = 0.01v

[ziddey]

cool. guess the need for vdroop mod is over

[erwinz]

very nice board dinos..

[MarlboroMan]

that is the mobo i was looking for

any 3dmark bench?

[HoriWanderFuLL]

Good work Dinos22 thats gunna save us heaps of time in thoughts...
That graph you made up would of taken sum time ? running benchmarks each fsb rise ???

Cheers Hori

Note that this PWM buck controller supports VRM 11 (for upcoming Penryn 45nm CPUs).

-FCG

I don't get it ... Most of current conroe board support VR11 ...
My commando use ADP3198 , too ... Will it support Penryn CPU ?

[dinos22]

I confirm that again. No Vdroop with enable "CPU Volt Damper"

ps: sometimes vdroop = 0.01v

not on this board unfortunately.....nothing helps the enormous vdroop

[Speederlander]

Any quad results yet?
