P5K/P35 Overclocking

[mVp24]

Any guides on how to OC a P35 chipset or an Asus P5K motherboard(Vanilla)?

I'm really newb at proper OCin because my last board was an ECS and all I could adjust was FSB/mem clock/volts/timing. I never even adjusted timings...I need major help.

Thanks!

Its pretty much the same affair mate.

Before you do anything tho, take off the heatpipe cooling system and re-seat it with AS5 as the paste Asus have used cant even really be described as paste

Once you've done that, lock the PCI speed to 33mhz and the PCI-E to 100mhz. Then increase the FSB along with the VCore like in a normal overclock.

If you start hitting FSB's over 400-450, then bump up the NB voltage for extra stability. Most of the other things in the BIOS can be left alone.

(but remember to disable C1E and Speedstep in the CPU options)

Thanks for that advice...how easy is it to remove the Asus heatpipe? Also what's a good Vcore for the North Bridge?

The heatsinks are held in place by small plastic pins. You need to get around the back of the motherboard and squeeze the pins with a pair of pliers. Once they are out, the cooling system should come off easily. If it doesn't only apply a little bit of pressure as otherwise you risk shafting the nb

Oh I see, is it relatively easy to put it back on? Just pop the pins back in I assume...

Thanks!

Ok thanks, and what's a good NB temp? ANd there is something about straps too right?

v a d e R` is so screwed.

Oh and another thing, what's so bad about Vdroop as long as you remember the voltages in the BIOS?
