Modded ASUS P5Q/Pro/Deluxe/Premium BIOS

[Smeg]

OK let's approach it from this angle. Since the main difference appears to be the memory table;can I just use a basic Hex editor and take one of the other modded BIOS and replace the memory table with an original portion?

P.S. if you don't know then don't respond;it's more directed at the modding author. Pardon the earlier poorly worded post.

Does anybody know how to change the NB GTL Reference on the P5Q-Pro?
Maybe some program that can help me out?
Because I'm stuck at a FSB Wall and no matter what (ie even with insane volts) I can't get my CPU (Q8300) stable at over 455FSB>.
It's always Core 3 that fails so it's a great shame that one can't change more GTL References in the Pro Bios

Please read my earlier posts. P5Q series has huge problems pushing quad core to any FSB more than 450. The current idea is integrating the Maximus Formula II memory table. But it's not ram stable.
Though it passes 4 x 32M pi on my PC at 475*8.5 (Q9550)

Okay then, if you could somehow mod in the memory table maybe I too could reach those settings, the best I have come up with is 12h small fft and 25rounds of max test with IBT @ 467FSB.
But as you say Blend fails at once.

Keep up the good work, it's much appreciated!

evening all! No to sound like putz, bur can anyone mod me the 1702 bios for the P5Q3 deluxe. I really would like to get the stability and Vcore voltages you all are getting. If it isn't possible, no worries, Thanks. If u need the file pm me. Here is the link to the asus site.

This is the modded P5Q3 Deluxe 2105
http://www.multiupload.com/N7M2XPOROP

I mod it with P43TDP PRO Memory Table 0501, INTEL RAID ROM 8.9.1.1002, MARVELL L72, and Alienware SLIC 2.1.

Since your has the same CPU id as P5Q Premium. There is no upper better CPUID for you. So I didn't change it and I think this is the reason that Ket didn't do it.

In my exprience with P5Q3, it doesn't support G.Skill DDR3 1600 memory to work even with DDR3 1333. After putting in P43TDP PRO Memory Table, it can work on DDR3 1600.
So you should be able to get a better memory clocking and compatible. But I doubt you will get a better CPU voltage.

The others are component upgrades.

Please test it and tell me how you like it.

Thanks chenxuwen, going to install and run it on my desktop. on my lappy write now so i'll keep you posted if anything strange arises.

Im stuck at 4,2GHz with Asus P5Q Deluxe board... No much change if try play 1,488V or 1,496V.. Orthos got error very soon and then too CPU Volt raises upper to +1,5V (CPUZ)

C2D E7400 (2,8GHz) Stepping A Rev. R0

So i think can it be up to Bios? Im just played with new bios what can get from Asus.

I Think this cpu is very hunggryyy but anyway its cool ( not yet over 60C at load, and running air cooled )... Doesnt you have deleted this cpu´s info from this bios because first problem with this board was too old bios and i upgraded it with Pentium 4 HT.

Sorry for laziness. With AsRock and P4 it was up to bios but could it be better with this system if i put that mod bios in? Im used hours for most little volt without losing MHz... gonna test this but worried that one yours dead Asus. :=

CPU skew:
NB Skew:
^Very rarely using those but can those help me a lot? What are others used for those?
Edit: CPU skew and NB skew got for good but need raise volts a little bit to get it stable. Maybe after when got this stable will test mod bios.


Edit2: Damn this bios is good. +++ for you. Not yet tested higher but feels good. 8)

I think your CPU Cores are already pretty hot!!! Tell you what, I had a E7200 with IHS removed and a TT120 oced to 3.8GHz at 1.35V, it reaches 90 celius in core temp. I think you shall try boosting the FSB and lowering the multiplier to get a better perfomance instead.
Anything higher than 1.40V is really dangerous for air cooling. To see core temp, use coretemp.

No they aren´t. Same result with CoreTemp like others. I´ll maybe put a Thermometer for looking temps to very close of cpu. But its got at +1,5V over 75C... before i had MSI and i runned even on 1,64V... The Heatspreader is grinded and Tuniq Tower´s bottom as too. I got some +10C lower temps.

This like volts as drunk alcoholic.

Now i restarted overclocking from 3,2GHz and looking most lowest volts without losing stable of cpu. 1,240V @ 3,2GHz ... 5h Orthos blend... now need restart pc and put again 0,008V lower volt and come back 8) if its gonna change behavior of this cpu and if i learn somenthing how to get stable...

And try very well that lower multiplier, it worked last time with MSI. (x10,5->x9,5)
E: I give at +4,1GHz speed last time some 1,3V to NB. I try too does need raise them so much anymore.
Edit4: 3267MHz @ 1,232V ~>
Edit5: 3609MHz @ 1,296V (lots of hours and tweaking for getting stable but finally it is stable) ~>

I guess R0 stepping helped quite a bit. I also lapped my TT120. I noticed a 3 degree lower.

Dang this thread is still going?

ED - maybe I shuldnt of saind anything... probably going to get loads of PMs and questions in the thread to answer now

[Alexwai]

Can Anyone host to other site other than Megaupload? I don't know why this site always show "This service is temporarily not available from your service area." when I am trying to download the mBIOS.

Hello folks...
i want to know if i get some benefits with this bios and a p5q premium? I can't find any post of another p5q premium user... is there someone who can tell me?

Best regards

[Frook]

So, im having issues booting into windows @ 4.5GHz with an E8400 E0... Tried all the way up to 1.5v but it still bluescreens me 2sec after windows bootup logo >.<

All done with 1.5 vCore:

500x9 = fail
517x8.5 = works.. but only for fast benching..
520x8.5 = nope.. same as 500x9

Tried increasing NB voltage but its the same there... Running Dominator 1066MHz memorys so its not a memory issue (yet)..

Using P5Q Deluxe and 1406 official bios.
Think a Ket bios would help out ? I'm not asking for 100% stability with 500x9 or anything.. But maybe it will increase my chance on benching stable trough atleast a vantage run + a screenshot for hwbot :P

[marciboy030]

Hello, me again...
can someone create a mod bios for my p5q premium with the newest official bios, the newest tables and firmwares for intel raid controller and so on?
It would be very nice. ..


Best regards.

Second that for the regular P5Q. New Bios came on 11th march.
Revision is:

P5Q BIOS 2208 >>> http://support.asus.com/download/dow...-ASUS-2208.zip

Hi, i flashed your bios on my deluxe. It worked great. Could you put mode dividers for memory frequensy? If i have ram at 800mhz and fsb at 400Mhz the lowest divider is 1:1, if i go over 400Mhz FSB then it could happen that i can't start the system.

Thanks, great work!

[Ket]

For anyone that missed the post, I'm not modding P5Q Series BIOSes anymore. It only ever started as a temporary fix for the piss poor memory support asus had for the lower end P5Qs such as the vanilla model and Pro. Theres a post in here somewhere where you can download a bunch of tools an stuff I use. This thread is more like a archived source of knowledge these days, although, if anyone wants to update SATA ROMs and such for a Maximus 2 Formula, I have enough time to play guinepig (I'm looking at you chenxuwen )

I'm still trying to figure out how to get the audio to work on my X-Fi Xtreme Music. It installs just fine but the volume is low. I'm wondering if it's a bios issue? Anybody else had any problems with the bios and the X-Fi cards?

[Ket]

The "X-Fi" is not a true X-Fi, its actually a ADI2000B audio CODEC with the software layer of the X-Fi to make it look prettier. Personally, I like the generic ADI drivers better, not only because they work better IMO, but also because I'm all for anything that helps kill Creative off as their by far the most piss-poor audio vendor I've ever known.

Good audio solutions:

ADI 1988B CODEC
ADI 2000B CODEC
VIA audio chipsets (Particularly the Oxygen audio chipset)
Asus Xonar audio cards (Uses Oxygen audio chip)
A few others you can't get easily anymore, so I won't list them

Bad audio solutions:

Realtek (unless you mess with the equalizer, in which case its kinda good)
Anything Creative has had a hand in.

[Dillmiester]

Could someone explain to me how to add the intel raid rom and jmb368 rom with a p5q vanilla? Im running the mbios 2102 and would like mod the 2208 to retain all the features of the 2102 mbios. I cant find any guides on how to use MMtool and AMIBCP any help would be greatly appreciated.

[jason1112]

Hi to all, i have understand like extract and substitute the module raid for sata v8 and the Lo72 raid and memory table with mmtools and the bios works well,,

but the question is: for cpuid what is the modules? thanks..
