3 - @3.06ghz FSB 334 x9 voltages at stock Mem running at 802

Have had it to 3.2ghz but it was running a bit hotter than im happy with ,just pottering about in windows,browsing etc it hit around 43c tops on 2 cores and 39/40c on the other 2.

Have run Prime 95 for about 6 hrs with nps (couldnt be bothered doing the 12 hrs ppl say)

I am finding the p35 to be a lot faster than the crappy VIA I had before :)

:slap: duh LOL try oc'in it, I'm interested in high fsb's and cpu voltage/multi :) I went from a 550 NForce board and that oc was sh*tty at best - 333FSB with insane chipset voltages.

With the same chip in here it went to 404 fsb at (close to) stock voltage and a low multi :) The G0 posts at 480ish :eek: but need a better setup for that (1.6V).

Oh and the Q6600 got re-spec'd to 1.5V check SLACR (http://processorfinder.intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLACR) :D

I think its a new pump... 2x80mm rad's and a chipset block seem to restrict the flow :roll: The pump doesn't even push liquid when I put the res/pump near the top of my case :banghead:

[xubidoo]

:D

i did have it running at 3.2ghz but with only a freezer pro cooler it wasnt as cool as id liek it to be.

[Darknova]

Erm...it's 9x Mediocre lol. 10x would be 3.33Ghz :P

[Jarman]

working on getting voltages down/speeds up now. This board doesnt have the best PWM unfortunately :/

Will post new detailed results for voltages and OC once im done...on v crude WC setup atm too :/ chip is running about 65c under load

[Craigleberry]

I am too scared to O/C The last time I did it I went too far and fried my cpu.

[Jarman]

if you have a good idea of what u r doing u wont kill the chip.

I've never killed anything overclocking. I've had things die on me :) but not coz they were overclocked.

1.) DFI RD600 Motherboard (2 times!)
2.) OCZ DDR 3200 platinum
3.) OCZ 850w psu
4.) XFX 7900GT

I would say that all of those companies also had excellent RMA procedures (especially OCZ). DFI's isnt so good...but still ok.

[Craigleberry]

I will give it a go when I get a better than stock CPU Cooler.;)

[niko084]

Well new score-
Abit IP35-E
E6750 @ 3600 @ 1.25 volts

LOL

I am going to replace that mainboard fairly soon though again.

[nflesher87]

Abit IP35 Pro
Q6600 346FSB @ 1.26V (9x 3114mhz)

will update with more details in the coming week as I have time to OC and get in my lanfest ram :)

[fitseries3]

i was going to go p35 but i like SLI too much.

I DO, HOWEVER, have a brand new asus p5k deluxe wifi edition for sale. i run a shop but im willing to ship this baby out to any of you who want it. i can gauranty that it works.

$180 takes it. PM me.

[Mussels]

i've got the asus P5K-E wifi, max FSB i've had is 425.

I am on a quad with 4x sticks of ram, which may lower the max FSB i can achieve.

i run 400x9 @ 1.425V for 3.6GHz, 50ish idle and 72C load, however ambient is around 36-38C.

[ghost101]

The highest ive taken my e6300 with my p35 chipset is 3.5ghz. But it gets very toasty.

I'll find the max fsb for the board 2moro.

[Mediocre]

I will give it a go when I get a better than stock CPU Cooler.;)

You can OC with the stock cooler, just do it differently.

Rule #1 - Add an ACCURATE temp monitor program to your windows startup. Set alarms to 60-65C (or watch them - dual monitors works wonders for this :D)

With our Intel's, the easiest way to get more speed out of them is to raise the FSB. Take your multi down one to 7 and your FSB up to 400 (I hope your ram can run at 800mhz, thats the lowest you could make it - i think).
You've then got 2.8 GHz, a very mild OC, and I bet it raises temps 3-5C AT THE MOST. Your chip'll do it on stock voltage & cooling :toast:

Kewl, lemmie know FSB as thats what I'm tracking. take your multi all the way down and see how high it goes :D

As far as toasty, im guessing thats your CPU? Heard nothing but good things about he NB temps on these boards, but my MB temp is gets upwards of 45C...

Update coming this morning

[Mediocre]

Any ideas on how to compile the info gather would be appreciated as well. I lack the imagination for a decent layout...

[Mussels]

seperate it into quad/dual core, as quads dont OC as high as the duals in most cases.

other than that, i cant think of anything - the current layout seems pretty good.

[Mussels]

double post (sorry) but another good way is to sort it by FSB, so that people can look to the top of the list to see the best OC'er in each category.


possibly sort it out by core type as well?

Kentsfield (B-3 stepping)
Kentsfield (g0 stepping)
Conroe
Conroe 1333 FSB (e6x50 line)
Allendale (2M 800FSB)


its an idea, but the list is somewhat short at the moment so it may be pointless til it gets bigger.

[Polaris573]

Please use the edit button instead of double posting.

[Ketxxx]

I'll joint when I get my IP35 Pro, been eyeing that thing up for some time.

[Craigleberry]

Where is everyone? No action going on in here so I thought I would keep the thread alive!:toast:

[Polaris573]

MSI made a bad/wrong BIOS available over liveupdate and killed my motherboard, as well as a few other people's. I got it back Monday and was able to make it to 490MHz FSB for 3.435GHz (1.4v).

Is that stable at those clock speeds?

[FatForester]

This Wednesday you can count me in! By then I should have an ASUS P5K-E Wifi-AP with an e2180. I'm getting the budget e2180 to wait until Penryn.. and just so I can have fun overclocking it. 10x multi, 2.0ghz, and 90 bucks? Oh yes!

[Polaris573]

Stable enough to run 3DMark, but not prime95 or orthos stable. I wouldn't do anything serious at those clock speeds.

[Craigleberry]

Hey we need to change from stock clock speed to 3.20 GHz (for now!) In my specs on first page

[mikek75]

I'm another AMD refugee, just changed from an Opty 165 to an E6750 on a Asus P5K with 2GB of Corsir XMS2 CL4 DDR2800. Absolutely chuffed to bits with it, can't believe the difference. I haven't really started overclocking yet, need to read up on Intel overclocking. To be honest, the performance is so good I think I'll wait for a bit, LOL. With my Opty 50% overclocked to 2.7 ghz and my 1950Pro at 621/776 I got 10,500 in 3d05, but this Conroe at stock (2.66) gets 11060! I did play a little by raising it to 3 ghz (375*8) and got 11280. Still waiting for my EAH3870 to arrive, looking forward to seeing the scores then!

[xmountainxlionx]

can you run SLI with a p35? just wondering, i couldnt remember if you could or not but something about the second PCI-e slot is only 8x or 4x or something. Could you possible change it to 16x in the bios maybe, possible, frankly, perpendicularly?

There is a possibility to run the 7series cards with hacked drivers, but there are no hacked drivers for the 8series cards any realistically wont be either!

Also... could someone please tell me what the "AUX temperature" is in "Speedfan" for these P5K-E boards... Mine has a reading of 117c which got me thinking... but I cant feel anything near that hot on the board so it must be wrong.
Also, I built another rig using this board and it has the same AUX temp but its 119c.

...I got completely ignored U_U

May you extend clubhouse to include P31 chipsets as well D:

Just a question, is the P35 Max overclock, in your case limited by your CPU cooling and not the northbridge itself? I've seen reviewers pull off 500FSB easily, and they werent even using samples-they purchased the mobo themselves. So yeah, is it the fact that most of you guys are actually limited by the cooling?

I'm going to get:

GA P35 DS3
2x1GB DDR1066 (for overclocking)
HR-01 PLUS + 120mm EZ Cool fan
HR-05 IFX NB cooler

So guys, what do you think?

The P31 is the P35 stripped down. It's awesome.

(Plus, I get to add another rig to the list :D)

[tigger69]

TK,my board does 500+ fsb pretty easy.Its just my chip which needs higher vcore,which pushes my cpu temp up.I'll have 02 cooling soon tho':rockout:

I'll get this when I get home (if someone doesn't beat me to it ;))


If a mod wants to change the title to P31/P35 feel free. Else, I'll add it to the list without changing the title.


As for X38, I'd say no. I would hope X38 boards beat out P35 for FSB


Leaving work here in 5 minutes, I'll be home in an hour and a half...:toast:


And I personally limited by cooling. My E6600 (old stepping) would only do 405 fsb :eek: even in a P35 board. The quad POSTS up to ~480ish FSB (4.2+GHz) withOUT ANY chipset voltage bumps. Simply push some voltage through the CPU and it posts. But 1.65V @ 480fsb and still not booting all the way into windows makes me wary. The 50C idle temp at that voltage makese it almost pointless....Now if I had a pelt or cascade....

could someone please tell me what the "AUX temperature" is in "Speedfan" for these P5K-E boards... Mine has a reading of 117c


Anyone on a P5K-E whose seen this in Speedfan?

[mikek75]

Dunno whats up with Speedfan and my P5K, my aux reading was 125c!

[twicksisted]

aaah thanks :)
good to know... was wondering if something was perhaps not seated correctly on the board... well thats good to know

As for X38, I'd say no. I would hope X38 boards beat out P35 for FSB


:cry::ohwell::(

That makes me sad. Although I don't think X38 clocks further on average. It pretty much just has more features.

Yay, I'm in, cheers Mediocre! Completed my upgrade with my ASUS EAH3870 today, god it runs sweet! 19393 in 3D05 so far, with the card at stock. People had warned me about Asus mobos, but all I can say is that this P35 board runs beautifully, I haven't found one anomaly yet. More than could be said for my old DFI CFX3200, LOL!

[Darknova]

Ok...now we come to some important decisions.

Just got my 3870....and a HUGE tax rebate.

So, Do I crossfire?

[mikek75]

Well, since we need a guinea pig to see how the 16x 4x arrangement works in reality, I say go for it! Its all in the name of science, LOL!

On a side note, funny how yours turned up today too, looks like the UK shortage may be coming to an end at last....Lets see how long it takes ebuyer to come down from its ridiculous price of £169 for a lite retail Sapphire....

I reckon on your monitor doing crossfire will be pointless.
My HD2900 pro is giving me 1920X1200, everything high except AA... in everything I play on its own.

Crossfire from what i understand will only give you results at high res, high settings so on your 20" screen in 1280X1024 itll be wasted.

Also the P35 boards from what ive seen are 16X 4X crossfire so the 2nd card wont really be able to fly.

Buy yourself a 24" screen so you can do games in high res rather ;)

[Mediocre]

Agree on both :D Seriously, the $1000 I spent on the TV/Monitor was by far the best addition to my gaming. And I went from a 21" CRT to a 20" LCD (non-wide 16x12) then to the 37...its insane (plus the 204B works great as a second monitor)

Only issue with big screen/high resolution - gotta upgrade videocards.


I'd almost take the wife's MSI RD480 (skt 939 xfire 8x, 8x) over a P35 (for crossfire performance at least).


If you want crossfire you almost have to graduate to x38 or x -fourty whatever to get a decent boost.

Firstly, its 1680x1050

Second, I got the 20" because I don't like the bigger screens, could have got a 22" for slightly more, but didn't like it. Too large.

So no. I will not be buying a new monitor anytime in the next 3 years (only just got the monitor).

And from what I've read, using 16x-4x is only something like 4% slower than 8x-8x, and 10-12% slower than 16x-16x. and considering I do eventually plan to get an X38 (when they actually release some DECENT ones over here) I might as well start now if I do plan to go Crossfire...

Thats a better resolution to start thinking about crossfire. Most benchies I've seen tho show only a small improvement overall with a second card (not even close to 50% who knows what chipset), even at insane resolutions.

I dunno I read something I got linked from here about how crossfire & sli are NOT the best bang for the buck. It has to do with how quickly new generations come out and how the speed doubles quickly. By the time you need a second card, you're a generation (or two) behind.

[twicksisted]

at that low resolution, crossfire isnt worth it... perhaps you will get more AA, but other than that it will be wasted. These radeon cards dont work with AA well anyways, so it probably wont be much of a boost.

But if you want your rig to look good inside, it will look a bit more flash than one card ;)

That was a while ago.

I read recently that Crossfire can gain about 50-60% with a second card, and SLi is slightly less. However I don't NEED A new card lol. I just thought what the hey. I have money lying around :P

I really don't see a point right now. The reviews that we showed wasn't that big.. if you really want, I have the ability to do crossfire whenever I chose with 3870 (best friend lives next door and were all ways wanting to do something different) I'll talk to him tomorrow when we take a trip to Best Buy and see when we can do it.
But, I'd go with something else. Right now, I don't see anything to really gain from having crossfire 3870's.

if the temp readings are accurate, thats fine.
Stick your finger on the northbridge heatsink - if you cant hold it there comfortably, cool it.
(the heatpipes on mine hit 90C once and gave me a blister from touching it. 40mm fan fixed that good)

P.S - the mobo software read 50C for mobo temps, but an infrared thermometer said 90. it sure as hell feltl ike 90 when i touched it.

The board taps out around 400-450 FSB.
You will need to cool the CPU voltage chips and the NB (the two heatsinks heatpiped together, with a fan EACH) and max the northbridge volts.

Doing this gets me around 430FSB max.

It is VERY important to cool them, the temp sensor is useless. bios told me NB was at 45C, but the heatpipe was actually in the 90's according to my thermometer. It melted a ziptie that was touching it, so it REALLY needs cooling (a slow speed 40mm fan does the trick)

Thats strange, I have the 'value' P5K and run 400 fsb without touching the NB or FSB voltages (NB is in the LC loop, but still reports 46C idle). FYI I had to set my PCI-E frequency to 105 (or higher). Its quite strange. The board tops out real low when the FSB is on auto, or anything below 105.
I run benchies @ 445 FSB without bumps as well. I think the board tops out around 482ish if I drop the multi. It isn't as cold here as I would like it. Should be in the single digits soon :nutkick:

Not trying to hijack or change the subject, but Im really suprized at the fact that the Blood Iron has yet to make a showing in this thread consicering its ~$100 pricetag and its 500FSB claims.

ambient is very hot here, and i dont talk about benchies - i'm all about 24/7 stable.
My PCI-E is 105 as well, i caught onto that too :)

I think it may be because i have 4x1GB of ram, but i have no evidence of this. I may need higher volts due to more sticks.

I have a Q6600 and 4 gigs of ram and could run everyday at 8x444 / 8x450 and bench at 4.0ghz try the voltages below but factor in voltage droop. I have a Xeon Go quad on the way and it has a 8x multipler it better do at least 440 or I'm gonna be pissed. With my old ultra extreme I could run at 3.8ghz with a 9 multiplier at 1.536v but really didn't do it often. Sold my Oem Q6600 and was able to purchase a retail 3210 GO Xeon quad made 10.00 on the deal. I bought a ASUS P5K-E WiFi/AP to replace my Gigabyte board thats has a bad Lan and sound card.

well my board has anti-Vdroop, so that wont matter ;)

I run 1.4250v for 3.6Ghz, so i guess i'll give it a shot later. My CPU may be limited in MHz, more than FSB

Anyway, guys, i've kind of figured out that my board tops out at around 490FSB, anything higher and it gets rather weird, and doesnt POST with those settings. Should I play with the voltages since I've installed some aftermarket cooling, yes i'm doing 490FSB at stock volts.

Gigabyte gives me the option to bump the voltage of the chipset up .3v at the most. Whats the MCH Voltage as well? :|. Afaik i have one hell of an overclocking P31 because most reviewers usually hit a bump at 460FSB, I think I also had the same problem until i upgraded to the F8 Revision bios.

I also read a review somewhere, where they got my board to 560FSB:eek:....God i wish it is true:p

Consider that they were using reviewer samples, which are pretested in the factory so they find the best overclocking board and then send them. I only trust reviews which use boards from retail. lol, i got 490FSB on my board >=D and most of the reviewer purhcased their P31 boards.

[Urbklr]

Okay, i ran 10 mins of orthos and played Crysis for close to 3 hours, all was good(other than ma videocard, which ended my playing of the crysis). Which, to me, makes it stable for my usage. It was set at 492FSB with stock settings. I tried 493FSB but it froze 2 mins and 30 seconds into orthos, crashed twice as fast with the PCI-e bus set ANY higher. I guess my board is different:p

[Mediocre]

LOL. Nice Air OC :p
I had a similar issue with OC stability. Only really stable at 454 FSB (not 455:p) in 06 and such. Waaay to much voltage though. I'm sure its the cpu. If I dropped the multi i'd get to 480ish I think.


Its cold as a mutha up here (15F) so I ran some winter stuff:
As low as the motherboard voltage would go, as I was getting the room cold (i'm sure i could go negative, just didn't feel like waiting :p)

[sneekypeet]

Seems to help with OC stability. I used to run my 939DFI at 111MHz bus!(same reason)

[Mussels]

Btw whats up with the 105 pci-e setting?

some boards the PCI/-E bus didnt lock unless it was off auto. Then along came boards it had to be above 105... and since then most of us did it out of habit. A few boards have come along where it seems to help again, so we generally mess with the setting when nothing else works.

[technicks]

But you gotta be careful with that right? To high can bust the vcard so i thought.

[Mussels]

not to my knowledge, its just like raising the FSB. you'll just crash if its too high, nothing will die. (same rule as FSB applies here, if you throw it to 200, you could kill something out of stupidity. take it 5Mhz at a time and alls well)

* Intel Core 2 Duo E4400 SLA3F L2 200x10 "Sh!tclocker" :slap:
* max. FSB 410x6@1.5V bios (doesn't seem much, but thats 105% over stock fsb for this POS cpu)
other settings used: pcie frequency 100, ram divider 2:1 (lowest setting), ram clocks auto, +0.1V for pci-e, fsb and nb, C1E and TM2 enabled.
* daily use 333x9@1.4375 bios (same settings as above except ram divider 2.5:1)

As a side note, at 7x it only does about fsb340, but for 8x it does 375-380 - I can't explain why this happens (have not done thorough testing with this multipliers, my main concerns were 6x for fsb wall :banghead: and 9x and 10x).

[trt740]

trt740, what settings is your board at to achieve 500FSB?? Any altered settings would be gladly appreciated:)

If you mean chipset etc it was at stock the voltage in Cpuz is correct on the chip.

[Urlyin]

Guys ... anyone running DFI P35 TR2 with Crossfire? I would like you to test something... I get higher scores with Everest when not running Crossfire...

Without CF enabled in BIOS

So if you do have this setup and you have time can you test it please...

[Urbklr]

No, i mean what settings did you use in the BIOS to get 500FSB??

[trt740]

No, i mean what settings did you use in the BIOS to get 500FSB??

Yes in the bios all I did was change the voltage on the cpu and ram nothing else

Gigabyte P35-DQ6, Q6600

I haven't tried OCing yet... I will be sure to let you know what I get once I begin

[Irish_PXzyan]

MSI P35 Neo, Q6600

I hope to be able to overclock the Q6600 to 3.0Ghz! I know this aint a special board...but will this be capable of overclocking the CPU????

[Mussels]

its a P35, throw the FSB to 333 and you'll get 3GHz just fine.

all P35 boards can run 333FSB, as thats what the latest intel chips run at at stock.

[Irish_PXzyan]

Thanks Mussels. Thats what I wanted to hear :D

I have never ever overclocked in my life! so when you speak of FSB 333..what do you mean?

[tigger69]

New intel chips use a 1333fsb,which is 166x4.

I think you meant fsb 1333 mussels?

[Irish_PXzyan]

Ahhh...so the mobo supports FSB 1333FSB?? SO I would have to up the FSB from 1066Mhz to 1333Mhz on the CPU in order to reach 3.0Ghz??

[tigger69]

In effect,you need to up the fsb from 266(1066) to 333(1333).

[Irish_PXzyan]

But my board will be able to do that yea??

[Cold Storm]

after reading this (http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/460/1) i saw that they could get a E6700 to have 314fsb.. So with that being said, and the bios having a good ocing set up I think it will do good..
I think you'll like it.. only draw back is the fact that there is only 2 DDR2 SLOTS.

[Irish_PXzyan]

ohh wtf....So I can only go 4gigs DDR2 or 4gigs DDR3....hmmm..thats just great! I wanted to go 8gigs if possible :p thats a HUGE bummer.....argh..I guess a new mobo will be headed my way in the next few months :(

[Cold Storm]

its a good budget board.. and don't do a new board.. it has ddr3 ability.. go with the newer ram and you will have the ability to clock it more...
If you want to go for a better board later then go for mine! lol

[Irish_PXzyan]

ohhh wait a sec...I dont have the combo...

I have this one:

https://komplett.ie/k/ki.aspx?sku=335498&view=detailed#ProductTabs

Its the MSI P35 Neo-F...what is the...F???

It says it supports DDR2 SDRAM 8gigs...so that means it supports 8gigs of DDR2 ram yea?

[Cold Storm]

all right.. i was looking up the neo combo for some reason... let me see... all right found you a website forum (http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?t=1698896&page=1) that has been made just for your board... I'd read that and you'll find a lot of good facts for it... and it supports 8 gigs.

[Irish_PXzyan]

sweet! thanks!

[Mussels]

Thanks Mussels. Thats what I wanted to hear :D

I have never ever overclocked in my life! so when you speak of FSB 333..what do you mean?

You people are getting the FSBs all confused.


For example:
Pentium 4 and allendales used 200MHz (800 in intel speak)
First gen conroe and the Kentsfield use 266MHz (1066FSB)
latest gen conroes and 45nm use 333MHz (1333 FSB)


Before anyone gets more confused, intel quad pump the MHz to their FSB - when you overclock, you deal with the MHz numbers.

If your motherboard supports a 1333 FSB CPU (333MHz) then its guaranteed to run at that speed. If you have a quad core (Q6600) that at stock is 266MHz with a 9x multiplier (266x9) and raise the FSB to 333MHz, that makes 333x9. Thats 3GHz.

[Irish_PXzyan]

Thanks for the info :p

When I begin my overclocking adventure..I could use with every bit of info before I take that leap!

I hit a wall. I have my FSB at 400 and mp at 8x(3.25ghz) and I cant find stable volts for it.. prime always crashes around 20 mins. I have my volts at 1.337(stock 1.275) what should I do? My temps are fine its just that.

Holy crap Coldstorm that is a hot load temp man. I can run mine for over an hour at full load and be stable with a load temp of around 45/50. It must be very hot ambient where you live?
Ahh I see it is hot coz the volts are so high?

[Cold Storm]

I live in Florida. And temp in the room was around 76.... I didn't have the fan on the cpu going at full speed ether... if I do the 550fsb, at 6 multi, I get alot better temps... If i turn on the vortec I can get about 10 degree drop... but, I really don't mind the temps if its under 70...

[Craigleberry]

It gets hot here aswell. For some reason my CPU can run insane low volts and still be stable... I do not mind coz it is nice and cool.

I will be soon :)

[Craigleberry]

I was just wondering about the 16x and the 4x thing and how it goes.

[twicksisted]

yeah I was wondering the same thing, then I got this damned Asus Xonar D2X pci-e soundcard... thinking that I could slot it in the PCI-E slot above the first graphic card slot.
On my motherboard it wont go due to the fact that the bloody thing is too long and hits the ram.

Solution, use the 2nd PCI-E 16X slot = no crossfire, unless I want to bin the soundcard and lose £130 hehehe....

Aah well and i thought I was being clever getting a PCI-E soundcard!

[Craigleberry]

And to add insult to injury I think you also loose the 1x slots as soon as crossfire is enabled.

[JC316]

Figured that this needed an update from me. Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L, E8400, 450FSB, 1.345V

Yup you do. Unlike the upcoming P45 which has 16 lanes dedicated to the PCI-E 16x slots, the P35 only has 20 lanes in total, 16x for the first slot, and 4 for ALL other PCI-E slots.

[Craigleberry]

hhmmmmmm.... P45 I may look into one of those puppies.

Hi :)
There's my rig :
Asus P5K ( standard, flashed in 1005 bios version ) with an Intel C2D E6750 @ 3.56GHz ( 445 X 8 ) @ 1.46V ( i'll try less but not high temps currently ).
Crappy MoBoi have : impossible to go far than 445 MHz FSB ... Windows boots @ 450 but freezes on benches.
That's a mobo limit : if i get down multiplier to 7 or 6 or even if i slow my RAM, same problem ... may be with a premium version :rolleyes:

And to add insult to injury I think you also loose the 1x slots as soon as crossfire is enabled.

Great well thats fantastic... what about on the X38 boards? theres like three PCI-E X16 slots on there?... could I use 2 for crossfire and one for the soundcard ?

[desertjedi]

1st attempt with P35:

Board: Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L
CPU: E2180 (stock 2.0Ghz)
Max OC: 2.6Ghz
Status: Used mainboard for target practice (actually sold on ebay) :D


2nd attempt with P35:

Board: Abit IP35-E
CPU: E2180 (stock 2.0Ghz)
Max FSB: 360
Max OC: 10x350= 3.5Ghz (stable)
Status: Running fine at 9x360=3.24Ghz
Vcore: 1.505v (unfortunately...but my Zalman 9500 handles the heat very well)

The P35 chipset's dual-boot "problem" was atrocious on the Gigabyte board. I only get the "dual-boot" when I change bios settings on the Abit board.

I'm doing just fine with my Abit IP35-E board but I don't think I'd recommend the chipset as it was just too much of a flakey overclocker. OC'ing a Socket 939 board was child's play in comparison and WAY more stable. Still I can't complain running an $80 cpu at 3.24Ghz with 3.5Ghz max stable.

[Cold Storm]

yeah, the dual-boot is very bad with any gigabyte board... I've seen so many, as I had one myself, where the gigabyte wouldn't even work right... Just had to overclock the CPU right at start.. Didn't like that so RMA'ed it and got the blood Iron

[spearman914]

BAH! I'm bored at work, thought I would start a P35 chipset club...


TKPenalty - Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L, E6300, 490FSB (6x)


Uh you made a mistake there its P35 not P31 :D

[Mussels]

on mah asus boards, it only 'dual boots' when OC'd.

I dont find it too annoying, as asus tied it in with their recovery tool for faulty OC's (meaning i only have to CMOS clear when running with high voltage ram on auto settings)

[Cold Storm]

I loved the fact that the p35 boards to the safe boot like they do.. That way you know for a fact that its working... I went noob tonight because of me being tired and forgot to plug my video card in... lol..
and whenever there is an update, I have DFI now with 567fsb load.. but 550fsb 24/7 on 6 multi with E6400..

heh my board has a one up on that, in that theres a red light that lights up if a PCI or PCI-E card isnt 100% in the slot... end of my video card was brushed up against a sata cable and wasnt 100% in so this nice red glow told me i was about to screw up bad if i turned it on :D

[Kursah]

Nice, I just have an LED that lights up when the PSU is giving the MB power...whether the PC is running or not...kind of a nice feature imo, and then another LED up by the DIMMS that turns on when power is turned on lol. Both are amber LED's, I suppose it gets the job done!

I do dig my P35 tho...this DFI is a beast, runs great...I am thinking of snagging one of those Q6600 G0's from Fry's tomorrow (I get paid)...187.99 is a great freaking deal...for $2 more I get 2-day shipping...I may jump on that lol! Though I paid that much for this 6300 back in early 2007...it's really tempting...:D

[Cold Storm]

wow man! only 2 dollars for 2 day shipping! sweet man! hope it oc's great for ya man!

[Kursah]

wow man! only 2 dollars for 2 day shipping! sweet man! hope it oc's great for ya man!

Hehe...well not $2, I meant $2 more for 2 Day shipping compared to ground...so that takes the price to 189.99...which still...is a great freaking deal! I haven't decided quite yet...my 6300 is doing great at 3.4, and I'm either getting a larger, new and faster HDD or a quad core....but that price is awfully tempting deal!

pretty much everyone with a G0 chip and a P35 can do 3.6GHz (400x9) so it should provide you a boost even in the dual core apps. Of course, that depends on cooling too.

Can you take a picture of your settings in the bios?

Try dissabling the following:

DRAM Static Read control
CPU/PCIE Spread spectrum

In CPU Configuration, dissable:

C1E Support
Max CPUID Value Limit
Vanderpool Technology (what does this do anyways? :wtf:)
CPU TM Function

See if that helps any.

Also, try these voltages if you're still stuck:

1.4v vCPU
1.6v CPU PLL voltage
1.3v vFSB
800mv Clock overcharging
1.55v vMCH (Northbridge voltage)
1.2v vICH (Southbridge voltage)

Hope this helps :)

1.2v vICH (Southbridge voltage)

Hope this helps :)
My PLL voltage is on 1.5V
- CPU voltage on 1.5V ( BSOD if less ), no temp increasing ,
- 1.4V on vFSB
I'll see or take some pictures for my bios ;
I can't change southbridge voltage ( P5K standard MoBo, no full full bios tuning items :cry: ).

I tried with X coef on 6 and 7 ... nothing
I tried with slow RAM timings ( 5/5/5/15 ) ... nothing.

So i'm not locked by my cpu or my ram nor by my PSU ( full stable voltages ).
1005 bios flashing increased my O/C capacity ( from 440MHz to 445 stable, i can boot on 450MHz ).

I've owned 2 P35 boards and 1 P31 board. I know all about the P3x family :P

i've got a G35, the midget cousin :P

sorry im late to join (well if i can). i only just found these forums :).
well i own an ASUS P5K intel P35 Chipset ACH9 bios 0414(cant see any reason to update)
q6600 go @ 370fsb x9 multi(have gone to 410 but not stable) gives 3.33ghz
only execute disable bit enabled, all other cpu option disabled
ram ratio of 1:1(i have 4 gig ocz platinum pc2 6400) best ratio
voltage damper enabled, vcore 1.4625v, cpu PLL 1.55v, fsb term 1.30v, NB 1.40
and clock over charging set @ 800mv, this is 24/7 stable

i have to say that this chipset is the best i've ever used

Thats a lot of volts for 3.33Ghz on a G0... try turning up the FSB voltage (its in there, have a look) and see if you can drop that CPU voltage.

I've the same problem with my motherboard: 1.5V-core for running full stable @ 8X445 FSB and vFSB increasing didn't resolve it :mad:
IMO, the stardard P5K MoBo doesn't have the same components ( capacitors, mosfets ? )than the deluxe, pro or higher editions ones.
I seems to own the same bord as TeKniK ( standard P5K with ACH9 ( not the " R " one ) chip ).

To TeKniK : try the 1005 bios, nice free upgrade to stability ;)

try raising the northbridge voltage too then.

I only need 1,425 on both my quads for 3.6GHz, but both systems needed an FSB and NV voltage increase.

[Titus]

I'll go on my bios turning up northbridge voltage et down my cpu voltage ...

EDIT : not running stable with these new voltages ( BSOD ) :( i return to my classic parameters.

[TeKniK]

My System ok at 3.42ghz but i had to go up to 1.50v on bios .. i think 1 problem is some vdroop .. the diff between wat in bios and wat displayed at idle desktop is some 625mv and at full load i can lose a further 625mv so thats over a 1.2v drop. the system will boot at 1.3875 volts at 3.33 but is not stable .. i tried uping and lowering the vfsb and 1.55 wont boot. every thing described in an earlier post is disbaled except execute disable bit. no static read or spead spectrum. if i flash to the 1005 bios will i be able to flash back ?

also i have no sb voltage to change in bios

TeKniK, we have the all same problems ;) crappy standard p5k version :D
if i flash to the 1005 bios will i be able to flash back ?

No problem to do a back flash using afudos ( Asus flash under DOS ). Keep a save bios and flash your card back if you 're not agree with new one.

I 've flashed mine in 1006 version this afternoon ( final version ). No changing. May be with a hardware modding ... or changing for a premium p5K version :D

P5K-E is a nice board! *points at system*

Hi.

This P5K is really crappy : i had to slow it @ 440 FSB ( 3.52GHz ) because it froze on games ( Track Mania Nations Forever, Rappelz ... ).
I pull down V-Cpu at 1.475V ( 1.44V effective ) and i run stable now.
I think hat's because we were 3 in my small PC room with my 2 rigs full running and central heating on.

Is someone knows difference between standard version and the premium one ( about power stage, components quality ... ) ??

im sure if you overclocking, you know that not all chips are the same, and not all chips can overclock the same.
Overclocking a chip isnt just about the chip, its about everything that supports it (PSU, MB, RAM etc...)... so blaming the P5K for the fact that it cant do what you set it to do is something that you should only do if you know for certain that its causing the issue.

Also, 440FSB is pretty damned high and not to shabby ;) considering that you had a 2.66ghz chip and clocked another 1000mhz out of it is something to be proud of ;)

The P5k-E and the premuim have the same 8-phase power and are pretty much the same board... im not sure about the other P5K models though from first hand experience

-E and premium models *are* the same. The only changes are to the stock cooling and the peripherals (some have wireless, some have dual gigabit)

The basic models are known to not OC as good, but seriously you;re at 440 FSB on a board that originally only supported 333 - you have a huge overclock. We cant just give you advice on how to make it work without knowing a lot more details.... but yes i can see your 3 rigs and central heating as a problem.

Well guys.. no more P35 board. The Blood Iron is now in its box resting. I have my Striker II up and running! I'll be ocing it once I get a chance! Its been fun! woot woot!

[Titus]

Some news today ... so great news !

I found here (http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=145583) a so easy v-mod for v-drop and v-pll for this board.

With 1.475V in bios, i had 1.44V in Cpuz. After this so easy tweak, i've 1.464V !!
I done it with a free IKEA paper pen :roll:

I'll try pushing my cpu far ;)

EDIT : i tried to push it more but it froze on 3DM06 @ 3.6GHz ( FSB 450 )... back to 445 FSB running full stable with 1.475V ( 1.5V before ) in bios.

hello guys wen i change the multi to 8x in my bios ... the bios and cpu-z ect display right speed but windows system panel shows the speed as if it wer an 9x multi .. any idea's y this happens and is it safe to continue to use even if windows shows the 9x still ? this one i just cant understand :confused:

thanks again

Im pretty sure that you can trust your bios & cpu-z to be showing the correct multi..
The windows system panel will show the default values for your processor, im pretty sure of that. Like for instance mine shows that my Q6600 is running at 2.4ghz... when in actual fact its permanently overclocked ;)

thankyou very much m8 .. i was sure of as much and u just helped me make the right decision :) :)

[Mussels]

yeah thats just windows screwing up.

The asus boards unlock the multi by tricking speedstep into activating, so windows just does FSB * multi without checking what the multi is - it just guesses that its really on the max.

i've just managed to get my quad bought last november (packdate oct 07) to 3.51ghz 385x9 fsb on 1.46v (1.5375v in bios)(damn vdroop lol) im gonna try higher but currently stable with the following settings on my p5k...

cpu voltage: 1.5375v
cpu voltage damper: enabled
cpu PLL: 1.50v
vdimm: 2.10v
fsb term: 1.40v
nb voltage: 1.40v

i have 4gb ocz plat 6400 @ 390mhz 1:1 ratio wih cpu 4-4-4-15 2T timings :)

im currently getting temps between 37 - 54 degrees so this is fine with a AC Freezer 7 pro
