Posted January 31, 20196 yr Is this board really so weak compared to Gigabyte and Biostar in terms of fsb overclocking or is it just shadowed by REX being almost as expensive?
January 31, 20196 yr I don't think it differs from other ASUS P45 boards in terms of FSB. And those boards were not famous for their FSB capabilities, so.. I had one of these long ago. IMC-wise it stopped around 900 with 2x2GB.
February 1, 20196 yr I had one in the age of 775 and my E8400 stopped at FSB 550 Mhz. I am not 100% sure it was the mb fault. REX is x48.
February 2, 20196 yr I agree that Asus P45's are not amazing for FSB clocks, My P5Q3 DLX & P5Q-E top out around 600MHz for air valid and closer to 580-590 for benching. Some can be good for 630+ but those ones seem to be much more uncommon. Not to mention that P45 DDR3 boards can only do 2T and not 1T like the X38/48 boards. I much prefer using my P5E3 DLX since it can do about the same FSB on air but is usually faster.
February 2, 20196 yr Author I have also bought one yesterday. It is 620 fsb stable 1:1 but won't go higher than 1600 dram no matter what. Will sell it asap.
