1.55v Northbridge, 1.4v FSB termination voltage...that's it.
NB temps never go above 32-33c...I have a HR-05 and 92mm fan for cooling

nice cooler on the chipset 
As some of you may know I was really disapointed to find out my P5K barley reached 333mhz FSB by the skin of its teeth.
Well i updated BIOS to 902 and all i can say is. wow
Plopped it up to 375mhz (giving me 3ghz on my E2140) and it didn't even think twice about it.
The jumperfree section of the BIOS is quite a bit better than it was as well.
When i can be bothered I'll pop the multi on the CPU to 6x and see how high I can get the FSB

Just woundering if anyone has had this issue?

Anyone have a P5KC, so they can help this chap
Its not hard to check, just wack the 1001 bios bin file on a usb stick and load it up using ASUS EZ Flash.

Answering my own problem here, I have now looked at the ASUS forums and many others have had this issue although some say they have it working ok. It may be that is has been fixed by ASUS now so I will download it again and try again.

It can be enabled in BIOS on this chipset as J&W have just done it for us on the IP35-Pro.

Originally posted this on the Overclocking thread with no luck so thought I would try here.
I have a P5KC system running well at 3.22GHz with a matched pair of Ballistic PC2-8500 at 920MHz. However, CPU-Z always shows the memory as Dual Channel Asymmetric rather than Symmetric. Timings are 5.0-5-5-16 at 2.2v. Everything is rock solid. Does anyone know why this might be and whether this is telling me that I have not yet optimised my memory setup? I am using the black sockets on a P5KC with BIOS 903 at the moment. I see many other screen dumps of people with Symmetric dual channel operation. My BIOS says Dual Channel Interleaved as it posts which I assume means normal Dual Channel.
Any ideas what I may be doing wrong or is this a CPU-Z funny?
Thanks

At work now so can't check what my CPU-Z shows. Will check when i get home.
Another P5KC bios 1001 question
Is it any good or shall i stay with 0903?

I worked this out when I flashed to the new 0504 premium bios....
should help you

That's how the latest bios for the P5K-E looks.
Are you using those voltage reference settings? I don't know what they're for or what the values mean?

Any idea why 4gb is slightly slower than 2gb?
Here's a bench with 2gb and it scores better, even running a few mhz slower than the 4gb bench (that you can see if you scroll up this page)

no...the P5K3 Deluxe is the DDR3 version of the normal P5K Deluxe

The Premium is a more refined board. Asus have removed the mosfets which were attached to the back of the Deluxe board and relocated them to the top, which means the Premium should run cooler. The Premium uses an 8 layer PCB, TRIO 1R1 Inductors and Nikos mosfets, these features are exclusive to the Premium.
Also worth noting the ps2 mouse port has been replaced by two extra USB ports.
The Asus P5k Premium Black Pearl edition comes with blower fans that attach to the mosfet heatsinks to provide additional cooling when you are watercooling.
the p5k-e is reporting very high cpu temps (78c with coretemp) on a q6600@3000 (the first ones that came out)
using a probe thermomemeter and inserting it inside the hole in the scythe ninja, i got a 46c reading ( thats not on the cpu itself, its on the thing that sits on the cpu)
the northbridge heatsink is giving me 77c on the fins.
i am using 0503 bios.
what could be wrong?
