Definatly shloud of bought the delux version of this board so much more info about it than vanilla. For those running vanilla P5B and cosair PC6400 I have am running fine at 2.1v no problem. FSB is 325MHz timings suck though and are, 5-6-6-18. In the BOIS I have it set to DDR2-533MHz...

The TwinX-2x2048-6400... $284 (before $40 rebate) The TwinX-2x2048-C4... $309 The TwinX-2x2048-C4Pro... $352 The difference is the latency, some where I have seen ultra low latency versions which are around £329 ($600). I have the 1Gb kit of 5-5-5-12 timings cost £67 ($120) work fine...

@AaronJSmith The board looks like a good board but Iif I was buy now I'd go with either: a 975x based baord a P5B delux gigabyte DS3 gigabtye quad series @inmazevo I just got an artic freezer 7 pro cost me £15 (about $30) in teh US its probably cheaper. Its very quiet and cools the CPu...

Anyone know if there is a new bios beta or otherwise for the vanilla P5B yet?

I am using probe 2, and then checked with a thermacouple. Probe 2 is reading on average 5 degrees high for me, some have measured a degree over reading probe 2 though.

@browsing The board does not support 1GHz ram, the fastest it does is 800MHz. @BigTwin I just installed an artic freezer 7 pro and moved my cables about. Runnng at 325MHz FSB (can not the ing to go higher) running at 54 degrees C, fan speed is 600-650 rpm, under heavy load the fan speed...

@BigTwin Try reinstalling the game. I couldn't even load the game before I reinstalled now it works fine.

@markymoo LOL ya I should get an artic freezer pro 7 tomorrow. Plus some braiding for all the dam wires coming from my new PSU, which currently block the top intake and front intakes really badly. I can't use 0609 because I have a vanilia P5B and 0309 is the latest BOIS for my board...

ya try the celeron root or RMA the board and have them flash it for you thats what I did and save myself £50. I do have to say I am very closing to selling this baord on E-bay and going for 975x based board. They seem to overclock much easier and better.

Get an audigy 2 zs they are cheap these days and have tons of features. Anyway back to topic. I have managed to get a stable 400Mhz FSB running with memory set at DDR2-533MHz and 2.1v. (coorsair twinX PC6400 1Gb kit), however thats with a x7 multiplier if I go any higher the system does not...

@AlternateTheory I have the same issue with the chassis fan 2. It report sin probe has not running but in teh bOIS is reports as running and I can see it running. My AI suite does even open so I am not too happy with the sofware bundle to be honest. I can't help on the sound I use a...

To cmdrdredd: No worries easy mistake to make, inact I made it when I order the thing. Doh!! To HauntFox: You need to either flash the Bios or it maybe a Ram compatibilty issue. What Ram are you using?

to cmdrdredd: Thanks for the DRR tip I will try it in the morning. However as far as I know the 0309 bois is the latest bois for non-delux P5B boards, if I am wrong then can someone tell me where to find the latest. I have looked on the asus site and ran the update feature and still...

Hi all this is my first post so go easy. I have overclocked for many years but have hit a brick wall for teh first time. I am running: Motherbaord: P5B (not delux) 0309 bois CPU: E6600 (stock heatsink) PSU: 500w rms peak 580w ATI: X600 256Mb Ram: 2x512Mb cosair twinX PC6400 I can...
