ASUS P5K Bios settings? - Overclock.net

BradleyW · 04-04-09

what settings should i put to get my quad at 3.2GHz such as vcore, MB volts, 1:1 ratio ect.

thanks so much for the help.

CPU=Q6600 VID 1.26

cheers.

I used to own a p5k premium, my cpu is the same as now and has a 1.2675 vid.
The mobo handled these seetings well:

-fsb 400mhz, linked with the ram (1:1 ratio)
-multi @ 9 (400x9=3.6ghz); you can set it @ 8x if you want it @ 3.2ghz;
-the vcore would be automatically set by the mobo at 1.36~1.38, either way you can set it manually-

Remember to disable the c1e and eist settings, as well as the spread spectrum.

Sure. I can't exactly remember the bios settings on the p5k, but there should be an option which will allow you to manually set the cpu features. All you have to do is unlock the cpu multiplier (set it from "automatic" to "manual"), disable features like eist, c1e and thermal management. Then change the fsb from 266 to 400mhz, set the ram clock to 400mhz (thus linked with the fsb).
You should try all of the above without touching the vcore (the asus boards have an automatic way of adjusting the voltage core).

If you could help me with the exact names of the bios features I could be more precise about the settings you should change

edit: I know my english sentences are rather hard to understand, and I apologize for that

your english is amazing, nothing wrong with you so dont think your english is rubbish because its not. I cant tell you about the bios in great detail because i dont have the board yet but could download the manuel online to see what is in the bios and let you later if you like.

thanks for the help.

Glad to help mate, if you need further information just let me know, I'll share what I know

the only thing that is throwing me off the board is that i dont know how to run a 1:1 ratio with the Memory and FSB. My asus p5kpl-am would not run 1:1 ratio when i set the memory at 667 option and FSB and 333 and that was a ASUS board with the same bios layout. how do i get 1:1 ratio?

BradleyW · 04-04-09

do you know how to get 1:1 ratio?

If the mobo won't post, then you probably have to raise the ram voltage, along with that of the cpu if needed. If you're going to raise the vram, you ought to make sure the ram sticks are properly cooled. Some motherboards have an option that once set will automatically link the cpu/ram clock.

Otherwise you will have to manually set the ram clock at same frequency of the fsb if you want a 1:1 ratio (the ram clock is determined by the basic frequency speed and you have to multiply it by 2 to obtain the effective frequency, since it's ddr:double data rate).

You ought to raise the ram voltage by a little amount at a time, until the motherboard posts and you are able to get into windows.

edit: is that a rover in your profile pic?

To get a 1:1 ratio, I don't remember the intial settings but when your FSB will be at 300, your RAM should be at 800mhz. Someone correct me if I'm wrong? anyways if you download CPUZ in the RAM tab it'll tell you if you're in 1:1 or not

Here's hoping that your ram will allow you to reach 3,2!
