I have an ASUS P5k Deluxe and I have started overclocking. The basic stuff is really self-explanatory (PCI-E clock, CPU voltage, memory speed), but there are quite a few settings that neither the documentation or the help tell yo much about. I have searched the ASUS site without much luck.

For example, there are CPU PLL voltage, CPU voltage reference. I also wonder if I start messing with Northbridge voltage, what mobo temp do I need to watch out for? What are the acceptable ranges/limits?

Does anyone know of a good reference for some of the more obscure BIOS settings?

I run the P5K-E and the P5K Deluxe boards on my two home pc's......never messed with those settings yet, Im still not sure what they can do for me, as of right now my machines are running stable and fast. I think I have seen somewhere on the forums what those do....just dont remember where. I finallly got to 436x9, but to be stable I needed to bump the Northbridge to 1.4v, on the auto setting she hosed up.
