    P5B Deluxe CPU overheat

    I just finished installing my new P5B Deluxe mobo, but when I entered the BIOS it said my CPU was at 56 degrees Celsius and rising! I haven't used the CPU in a week, so its not like it was already warm, and I attached the stock Intel HSF with some Arctic Silver Ceramique, so what's up? Is it a...

    Centurion 534 Fan Layout

    Ya, only problem is I only have a stock CPU cooler. I've been looking into other ones since I want to start overclocking, but I'm not sure what to get. Any suggestions for my case/equipment? I've got an E6600, P5B Deluxe, and a 8800 GTS

    Centurion 534 Fan Layout

    So I got a Centurion 534, which comes with 2 x 120mm fans, one rear exhaust and one side intake, but has a bracket for a third in front of the HD cage. When I built my system I placed the side fan in front to cool off my Raptors, but I ordered a Thermaltake 78 CFM fan to replace it. Since the...

    *** Official ASUS P5B / P5B Deluxe Thread ***

    Are there any known compatibility issues between the P5B and G.Skill RAM? I'm particularly interested in the F2-6400CL4D-2GBHK, which is 2 x 1gig, 800 MHz, Cas latency 4, timings 4-4-3-5. I have 2 sets, so 4 x 1gig total.

    Looking for help on a Motherboard decision.

    I concur, one of the reason I don't want a C board is that the FSB will be outdated by the time DDR3 is mainstream, and the advent of PCIe 2.0 will just rub it in. Still, I can't decide about the Asus Deluxe; the P5B is tried-and-true, but will not improve from BIOS updates like I'm sure the...

    Looking for help on a Motherboard decision.

    Actually, I'm wondering if I should get the Asus P5B Deluxe, it doesn't seem to be prone to the SATA problems of the P5K and has most all of the features of it, albeit with a lesser heatpipe system. That way I can choose to upgrade to a X38 w/ PCIe 2.0 and DDR3 when all of them are...

    Looking for help on a Motherboard decision.

    Yeah, I'm running into the same dilemma myself, with the same boards too. I really like the P5K, but it seems the DQ6 outperforms it in some of the tests I've read. The WiFi is a nice touch though. As for the DS3R, its heatsink system isn't as elaborate as either of the other boards, and as I...
