Overclocking the Asus P5K SE/EPU


Recommended Posts

Well this is a new board, and i'll be blunt, i have no idea how to OC with this board. It has something called the Asus O.C. profile, but i haven't a clue what to do. It basically just opens a file open dialog in a blue dos window. Is the only way i can OC this by loading OC profiles i find on the internet? I have never had an Asus board i can't overclock a chip with :blink:

any help is appreciated...

Nope thats where you can save/load a profile you've created. Go to the Advanced>JumperFree Configuration section of the BIOS.

Set the Ai Overclocking to Manual, that should now show more options, like a FSB setting.

Forget the bundled software, it's usually bloated crap.

Just go into the BIOS and manually overclock from there?

That's not what he's talking about.

If its the same bios as my P5K it should be under the Advanced tab -> Jumper free configuration. Then change AI Overclocking to manual and away you go!

It may be a good idea to have a browse through your manual to familiarise yourself with the bios, if you have it handy.

ok..

anyone know good settings for these 2 chips?

E8400 @ 3.0 ghz

Q6600 @ 2.4 ghz

or is there a site that shows proper settings will get you to a certain voltage? IE 1.35 vcore and whatever to get a Q6600 up to 3 ghz?

and how high do you think i can get these chips on air? The Q6600 is running at 25 degrees celsius, is that normal or good?

There are no "one size fits all" setting, all chips are different. But that is a good IDLE temp but that really doesn't matter much, it's the UNDER LOAD temps that matter.

I have a E8200 @ 3.2 using a vCore of 1.168v and I don't even get close to 60c after running Orthos for many hours.

I also have a E6550 @ 2.8 with a vCore of 1.192v and it gets around 60-63c under load.

Both on stock coolers.

Those vCore values are from CPU-Z @ idle.

Switch it to Manual mode in the AI Tweaker or whatever it's called now. Play around with the FSB, NB strap, multiplier, RAM dividers, and voltages. Don't fry anything though, make sure you know what you're doing :p Asus mobos are fairly simple to OC with.

    • Look up "greed". If you are willing to buy that it's only inflation, I've got a bridge to sell you.

    • Steam Summer Sale 2026 kicks off offering weeks of PC game discounts by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Every year, one of the biggest events that Valve hosts is the Steam Summer Sale. Now, the 2026 edition has just kicked off, bringing discounts for everything from the newest games and retro gems to all sorts of DLC packs. As always though, PC gaming hordes have managed to shake the servers of Steam just as the sale opened its doors, so expect the prices, store pages, and services to not show up properly for some time till the backend stabilizes. You'll find sales being present, though with minor cuts, for even relatively recently released titles this time. The front page is the place to be for anyone looking for recommendations, with it putting a spotlight on fresh games every day. However, keep in mind that the discounts themselves will not be changing and will remain static throughout the sale. Blockbusters like Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Split Fiction, Red Dead Redemption II, Battlefield 6, Dispatch, Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil Requiem, Anno 117, Arc Raiders, Black Ops 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and much more are currently discounted. Valve has also brought back the special "Deep Discounts" section. While part of this same sale, it only highlights games that are discounted by at least 85%, with some titles even reaching 95% off. Some of the games included here are The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 4, Wreckfest, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, The Quarry, Ghostwire Tokyo, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and much more for just a few dollars each. The Steam Summer Sale of 2026 will be open for business until July 9, giving everyone two whole weeks to try and keep their wallets closed. If you want to see the biggest highlights, be sure to read our Weekend PC Game Deals special coming this Saturday.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
