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

I set 401MHz exactly for the reasons described by Tony. I prefer things relaxed instead of running into trouble for 1% of extra performance. I can understand rising the VCore, however all the other things run just fine at their standard settings, including the memory at 2.15. For pits' sake...

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

Clones123, that's funny, but I have a comp with almost the same specs. The only difference I can see is the case (Antec NSK 6500), the cpu heatsink (Arctic Cooling Pro 7) and the memory (some cheap Kingston ValueRam DDR-667). I managed to get the same overclock but without the horrendous...

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

I've decided to write a few words after reading various texts here about headaches this board gives to some guys. I don't want people considering this mobo for their new systems to think that it is a piece of junk. First of all, anything running out of specification is basically asking for...

P5B Deluxe and power cycle at startup?

:) I am not saying Asus is evil. In fact, I love Asus, never had problems with their products. My motherboard and video card are from Asus. Plus I'm far from replacing the motherboard - I think it's a great mobo. The question is where these double starts originated from. done on purpose by Asus...

Your opinion needed on Allendale overclocking

You miss the point. I am not saying that some no name 400W PSU is enough for powering X1900. I thought I made it very clear, that there is plenty PSUs out there that have just stupid design and I would never buy one like that. I am saying that a well designed 430W PSU can easily handle 7900GT...

Your opinion needed on Allendale overclocking

1kW Enermax was just a figure speech. And yes, I agree, I am talking about a good 380W PSU, like NeoHE 380, which can output 336W on its 12V rails or Enermax 400W with 360W output on 12V. Find me another 380W PSU that can do that. Tagan? 264W, Topower? 300W. I spent a whole month researching for...

Your opinion needed on Allendale overclocking

"Well, you're stuck between a rock and a hard place, then, aren't you? There's only one psu company that's making psu's guaranteed to supply 22A on either of it's 12v rails, Enermax. Well, on both of it's higher wattage Liberty's, at least. " Are you trying to convince us all here, that all...

Your opinion needed on Allendale overclocking

Boy, oh boy. "Unfortunately, the BFG GeForce 7900 GS on my build list specifies a 22A +12 V rail which eliminates a LOT of multi-rail PSU's." Want to hear something? I have Asus 7900 GS powered by Antec's NSK 6500 stock PSU rated at 430W, 372W available on 12V rails. It runs perfectly...

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

are you using SATA drives? or IDE? There is only one parallel ATA port on P5B delux, therefore I presume at least 2 out of 3 devices (hard drive, cd rom and dvd) are connected to SATA ports. BIOS should list them, unless the ports are disabled or marked as "not installed". I would say the...

P5B sound issues

I would recommed to check out the digital output (optical or coaxial) unless you don't have a A/V receiver supporting digital input. They sound great with my receiver. There have been numerous reports on bad sound quality of ADI chipset on analog output.

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

Caliginosity, at first I did try to install Vista with AHCI enabled. After 3 hours of watching the black start screen of Vista (the one with the green bar) I had enough. After setting SATA to IDE everything went smooth. I tried to enable AHCI and force VIsta to load but I didn't succeed. I think...

Yes, I noticed that too once I changed to AHCI. I went back to IDE, because Vista won't load with AHCI.

First of all - there is a way to get AHCI working without borrowing a floppy drive. Procedure is quite simple: 1. connect your hard drive to ICH8R controller and set it to IDE in BIOS. Set JMicron's SATA port to IDE as well (or disable it like I did). 2. install XP SP2 without worrying about...

I have the exact same issue with the audio driver. It just sits there waiting for 15 sec. This happens between the 8th and 23rd second of the boor sequence (BootVis). Any solution to this? I guess we'll have to wait for new drivers from ADI and that may happen... never.
