P5B Deluxe WiFi-AP

[assasin]

if u wanna oc then dont go for mobo with integrated gfx (like P5B VM).

P5N32-E SLi will be a better mobo than P5B Deluxe.but it'll cost u more than P5B Deluxe WiFi-AP and is hard to find.

 

[Pathik]

do u mean that p5b vm is a bad overclocker or it doesnt overclock at all?? Cant i reach 3ghz+ wit my 6320 under 1.3vcore on a p5b vm?? Actually if i get a p5b dlx then i ll hav to get a gc.. And that ll overshoot my budget.. So wat do u say of p5bvm+ 6320??

 

[assasin]

i'll suggest u to buy P5B DLX instead of P5B VM.dont compromise on the mobo if u wanna oc.
just borrow a spare gfx card (even old pci ones will do) from one of ur frnds or from ur vendor and use it untill u buy a gfx card.

Decent overclocking and Mobo with onboard graphics generally DO NOT go hand in hand.There are a few exceptions like AMD 690G. But i am yet to come across an Intel chipset with embedded GPU clocking like MAD.

As assassin says, P5B Deluxe is a very nice board.You will be surprised to know,it is the most favourite mobo of most of the legendary overclockers.

It is like the Asus P4C800/P4P800 or Abit IC7/IS7 of Socket T.

P5N32-E is excellent but has some quirks.Heat being major one.
Otherwise excellent OC board.When it comes to Memory clocking, there is no competition to 680i SLI chipset.

i'm getting BSOD if i use AI NAP after my proccy is oc'ed to 3GHz but is working perfectly if i use it @ stock speed.any solutions?

U updated the bios yet ??

hey assasin wats the price difference between the p5b deluxe and the p5b deluxe wifi ap???

Under 2k's .. but the WiFi feature in not worth it unless u really have a situation where u an actually use it

and i m thinkin to go for a new pc soon...
so i m thinkin whether to go for
1. asus p5b deluxe + e4300 + 8600gt
2. asus p5n e sli + e6300 + 8600gt..
i wont be using SLI nytime..
also is the asus p5n e sli a good overclocker???
does it come wit the same OC options as the p5b deluxe???
my budget for mobo+proccy+gc is arnd 20-22k.. pls suggest..
also gimme any other mobo within 8-10k which is good for OCing... no SLI needed..

Well , for 22k's ... hmmm .. i can only suggest the following combo : E4300 + MSI P965 NeoF + 8600GT .. only then will it come down in 22k's ... my friend runs his E6600 on a P965 Neo at 3.0 GHz stable , so oc'ing is not a problem .. u won't get too many settings to mess around with ..

also assasin do u OC ur proccy just wit AI gear or using any 3rd party app??? i m new to OCing.. and can we adjust the multiplier and fsb from ASUS OC PROFIle???? if not.. then how do we go about it??

It is always recommend to OC from the BIOS itself ...

and do u think that Intel VT is really needed???

Not really , atleast not for general desktop users ... u should disable it anyway if u do plan to OC

and can i OC if i take a DG965RY??

Not sure ... but i think u can't .. only the 975XBX and the XBX2 does for Intel i think .. not sure though ..

 

[assasin]

^^^ i've updated the bios to version 1101.

 

[ranjan2001]

I remember that some of the asus utility such as AI Nap does not work when u r in OC mode & they reduce the ower to cpu & fans & hdd so its fine if they dont work in Oc mode.

 

[assasin]

can some1 tell me from cud i possibly get eSATA cable?

 

[darklord]

I never use those crappy tools that Asus bundles with their CDs.
I generally avoid Asus Probe too.Everest is nice n gives all voltages n temps from the sensors.
I dont think esata cables are easily available,why do you need one ? you have external HDD with Esata port ?

 

[assasin]

at present i dont but i plan to get one soon if i can get the cable first.

 

[darklord]

at present i dont but i plan to get one soon if i can get the cable first.

Arre get a normal USB External drive re.Get lappy HDD 80GB or so, costs 2800 bucks or so and get a casing, shud cost 300-400 bucks.I use the same way,works like a charm

 

[Pathik]

^^ but that wd overshoot my budget... and neways i m gonna wait for a decent dx10 .... so assuming a wait of abt 3-4 months.. i ll need the onboard gfx...
so overall if u give p5b dlx a 8/10 in OCing how much wd u ppl give a p5b vm???

 

[assasin]

i'll give P5B VM 4/10,cuz the northbridge and southbridge will tend to run hotter due to onboard gfx and after oc the heat generated will be gr8er.
as for ur gfx probs buy a 2nd hand card for 1.5-2k and use it till u get DX10 cards.
aslo get a E4300/E440 instead of E6320 and save some cash dere.

 

[assasin]

@sam9s at wat vCore did ya achieve 3.304GHz?
wat psu r u using?
i've adjusted my vCore to 1.25v @ 3GHz and getting idle temps of 24-25C and load temps of 45-48C.r the figs good enough,cuz when i leave vCore tp auto it shoots upto 1.38v.

 

[Pathik]

ok... just other than OCing is there any other big advantage of taking a p5b dlx over a p5b vm????
also Which of these is the best overclocker??
1.Asus p5b dlx
2.Msi p965 Neo
3. Gigabyte ga 965 ds3p...

And if i consider mobos with onboard gfx then wich one is better??
1. asus p5b vm
2. gigabyte ga 965 ds3 g
3. dg965ry
4. others??

 

[assasin]

according to me P5B DLX is the best overclocker,2nd is Gigabyte GA 965 DS3P.
if u dont want oc then best mobo with onboard gfx will be DG965RY/DG965WH else Asus P5B-VM.

ok... just other than OCing is there any other big advantage of taking a p5b dlx over a p5b vm????

?????????
ow... so i m decided...
Hows a p5b dlx + e4300 + 8600gt ??

also r u ppl using any cooling solution or just the stock cooling??

 

[assasin]

I am running vcore at 1.38. How come you have so good Idle temps at 24-25. My Idle temp in this Delhi heat is 56-57(sometimes 60 as well)@ 3.304. Are u using a cooling solution or is Durgapur not that hot......

here i've room temps of 35-38C.at 1.38v my idle temps were 30-35C and load temps were 55-58C,but they hav decreased after i've dropped the vCore to 1.25v.
i'm not using any 3rd party cooling solutions,i'm using the original HSF.


@pathiks as far as diffs bet P5B DLX & P5B-VM is concerned:
1>P5B DLX has ATI crossfire support,
2>has dual gigabit lan,
3>has 8 SATA ports,
4>has heatsink over the MOSFETS,

 

[assasin]

afaik P5B-VM has 6 SATA ports.
and dual gigabit lan make s a diff when ur part of a LAN and r using a separate broadband connection.if u dont hav dual lan onboard then u'll hav to buya a lan card.

mine is E6300 same as sam9s & room temp is same as 35-38C.
I am running present at default BIOS (non OC) temp is 56-58 ideal & on load goes 66-67C

Seems mine is all messed up heatsink fan or the base plate of the processor.
