Let me know whether a E5200 will beat E6600?

but P5Q Deluxe is a gem of mobo for overclockers....better than biostar i45 and Gigabyte P45

 

[furious_gamer]

^^
Yup, P5Q is rock solid mobo and better than any other mobo when comes to features and OCability...

The reality is different actually. Biostar i45 can go 650 FSB and beyond. This is the cpu-z validation of a guy who has done a initial OC on this board which turned out to be 24/7 stable overclock:*valid.canardpc.com/cache/screenshot/434920.png

UD3P is a fantastic board. But the cost of it (in India) makes you think otherwise. Th northbridge heatsink is large and difficult to put some types of heatsinks, but I wouldnt managed that somehow.
Frankly speaking asus p5q series is supposed to be 1-1.5k cheaper even if one considers "exotic" pricing system over here.

 

[furious_gamer]

Well thats completey different story..If the guy has a P5Q Mobo, then too he OC it like above...
No more argument. Each and every board has its own added advantage.period.

^^ [sarcasm]yeah that's a pretty good way of proving a point when it comes to PC tech.[/sarcasm]
My point is p5q is not worth the premium if a cheaper (read: value for money) board does better. However if one is a fanboi- no point in proving a statement. Fanbois will always be loyal to a particular brand which doesnt make sense to me at all. I didnt say asus is bad now did I? All I said is bios is strange.

 

[furious_gamer]

Thats it . You got it.
BTW My first ASUS board is P5N-MX and i got P5K-PL CM for my bro, and P5B-Deluxe WiFi for my friend. I even think abt other brands but when i get into the shop, i automatically start enquire abut ASUS boards and satisfy with them.
My old mobo is Mercury... Its just a piece of sh1t...

 

[The Sorcerer]

Thats it . You got it.

Errr...no. That is why the sarcasm . Anyways doesnt matter as long as they work.
I never used mercury ones though I heard some issues with it here and there.

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Whatever it is.
And about Mercury, you heard it right. It oftens ships with issues.. esp with their RAM's and Mobos...

@ rajkumar_pb

post ur O.C'd scores man....lets wat ur CM Vortex and Arctic Silver5 can do??

 

[furious_gamer]

^^
Dude, as i said earlier i haven't applied the AS5 evenly and so the temps seems too high. Its around 50C at idle and 75C at load. I gave the CM Vortex to my friend to get it repaired and will get it soon. After that only i'll be able to post results.

 

[j1n M@tt]

I surpassed the 3.5G barrier did some tweaking with GTLREF voltage

 

[furious_gamer]

^^
Dude i think you forgot this..Attachment feature is like heroines of Bollywood movie..They looks more attractive but they never acts(works here)....So please upload the img in MediaFire and give us the link..

 

[j1n M@tt]

forget dat...now am running at 3.75Ghz. on the next boot I will try increasing the SB voltage. already I hav increased the the NB voltage to 1.4 hope I can post the next pic with 3.8G or above!!

 

[j1n M@tt]

here is the O.C result with Super Pi and CPU-Z at 3.75GHz :

[furious_gamer]

^^ Awesome OC with a Stock Cooler..Dude i OCed my proccy to 3GHz and guess what, the temp at idle is around 60C and at load 84C..... Culprit Thermal Paste.. So just settle with Stock speed...

 

[j1n M@tt]

Core temp is only 47 for me at 3.75GHz!!!...now only the mobo is wat limiting me from higher clocks hope I can get a new mobo soon

 

[dOm1naTOr]

to ensure stability u shud run a CPU torture test for 1~2 hrs and confirm the temps within safe limits.

 

[j1n M@tt]

the HWMonitor, Core Temp and Real Temp results r normal as shown below :
*img123.imageshack.us/img123/4914/375ghztempvolt.th.jpg

the voltage mods r within the safe levels.


Will run Prime95 with max CPU torture tests as soon as when I get enuf time to see whether this is 24/7 stable.

 

[j1n M@tt]

gigabyte G31M S2L mobo owners, can u guys plz post whether this mobo hav memory dividers and vCore voltage adjustments??

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Even with older mobo like mine(ASUS P5N-MX) there are settings to adjust the VCore voltage and Memory dividers.. Doesn't it there with P5KPL-CM?
