Dont you reckon those are a bit on the high side, mate?

+ Am running 3Dmark06 Bench Loops (3 for each test) and im seeing a bit of artifacting.. this is with the system AT STOCK, i set the bios at SYSTEM DEFAULTS (saved my OC profile before of course)

The GPU/MEM arent OCed.. BUT.. they are cooled with the Accelero S1 Rev2.. and i have nothing on the power regulators except for the puny turbo module on the S1 blowing whatever air it can muster, at it.. shall i swap it with something else like:

a) side case fan?
b) stock ATi cooler?

Edit: it artifacted a bit, but it completed 3 loops of 3dmark bench =/ what to do?

na, those voltages are on the low side.

Yeah some of these kits when released back in DEC last year is when i bought mine did not like high voltage even though the rated MAX is 2.1v .. so many could use 1.96-1.98v in Bios and OC to 1100mhz np's and be stable, some lucky ones 1150 was doable and manybe this set i have may do that as well in which i tried 1152 for the heck of it at 1.96v still and it rebooted at the windows scroll bar, which means moe volts needed or maybe loosen timings a little, but i will try again when i get my new CPU which is on truck for delivery today...

The thing is i normally don't try any OC on any CPU for a week, but ya know what .. there is the old saying if it can't OC now first day, then it may never do so later on and i have proven that to be true in many of past OC's .. i was a AMD fan ever since i learned to use a PC .. so this is my first Intel Chip and the E8600 will be my second ever.

I just hope my E8600 is a good one with no sensor issues and so forth.

I wouldn't count on it, stuck sensor is quite common, it seems, I've tried two 8500 E0s and both had it

I just got a E8500 E0 and have no problems w/ temps. However my previous E8500 CO had all kinds of different temps. Currently runnning @ 4.5 idle/load 39/67 at 1.35v. It can do 490x9.5 or 4.65Ghz w/ only 1.4v but I need to tweak my ram. Windows load at 500x9.5 w/ same 1.4v but I didn't want to push more since I'm on air. AS5 didn't break in so it will get better in a couple of days. FPO Batch is 822A451 Pack date: 08/07/08 Vid:1.250. Got it in my local Fry's. Great chip

Your settings look ok, nothing stands out as possibly causing 3D crashing.

So this crashing only happens with Vista 64, not 32 or in XP? How long does it take to crash out of a game usually? Is it any particular game that does it? Is your video card overclocked? What drivers are you running? Are you overclocking your video card? What happens when you run the system/card stock?

I would just wait and see if it happens again, if it seems stable since the bios update, just keep testing it and report back if it happens again.

I run PCI-E at 100, always have. 101 was recommended by some guys as a preventative measure as I believe on older boards it stopped some problems people were having, but I don't believe it is necessary on these boards.

thanks for the reply cryptik. It hasn't happened since I upgraded the bios, only been 4 days though. Yea only in vista 64, never ever happened in vista 32. I even did another fresh install of vista 64 with of course latest drivers for everything. And yes I tried the obvious answer of switching to older video drivers, I used drivercleaner, and it happened with any driver I tried. Video card isn't oc'ed and I've run it on my old s939 system for almost a year with no problems. Whats weirder is it never happened in games only in the desktop at random times, no way to reproduce it. Fortunately it's day 4 with the new bios and so far so good.

[FinnEire]

na, those voltages are on the low side.

Umm...nu-uh!

[Leeghoofd]

try...
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.4 or 1.6
NB Voltage: 1.4 or 1.6 or 1.8

na, those voltages are on the low side.

Do you even own this board ? those voltages are totally bonkers, surely for a 45nm CPU...

im sorry, total typo on my part there...

1.14 1.16 1.18 etc.

BeastNotro ? Kets Modded 1306 bios ? is it ok

[BeastNotro]

BeastNotro ? Kets Modded 1306 bios ? is it ok

Well it is OK and stable.

I wnet back to 1201 for now as i got new CPU E8600 and i wanted to try an official good stable bios i new was good .. so in my Signature it is 1201 Official now and thats is what i am running for now.

1306 Modded Bios all Ket has done is added the premium QVL ram tables and some little tweaks is all and if you never had any issues with your ram on any other BIOS then it will be the same as the Official 1306 as what the Modded ones will be.

So is Kets a better bios = YES as it has the extra Tables in it and that means many will be better off running that Bios for certain modules.

I may go back to it if i feel i need to, but as of right now i am playing with 1202 official again.

[mac_69]

1306 still farks my system royally. Had to reset jumper and go back to 803

(I got bored and decided to try 1306 again. Man will I ever learn)

I get loss of speed step, then bios corruption warning then resets to 6xx bios
Need to clear the jumper before installing 803 or it will refuse to speed step with the same AI settings I always use

[BeastNotro]

I never use Speed step always disable all thats in CPU configuration except the multiplyer of course.

I need to call them "Asus" and see where we stand on those issues with the 9450. I have been out of town working all week and just made it home.

[BeastNotro]

Martin.v.r >>>> What batch number is your CPU and what Volts you using?

Most of all what NB, PLL and FSB-T are you using?

Any GTL settings too?

Nice OC by the way now is it 24/7 stable...

[Ruslan]

I finally beat 3.6 Ghz out of my setup



LLC works wonders

Before I could not reach 3.6 because of the temps, not the P5Q Deluxe.
I'm happy I bought this board.
How I cool it

[BeastNotro]

What is the MAX or recommended VOLTS for these below and settings for GTL if needed.. for the E8600 cpu on the P5Q Deluxe?

PLL
FSB-T
CPU GTL 0/1
CPU GTL 2/3
NB
NB GTL

[Martin.v.r]

volt set to this superpi E8600 Q820A606

cpu 1.6250v is drop to 1.600v
GLT auto
PLL1.52
FSB 1.44
men 2,4v strap 333 PL13
NB 1.62

24/7 set
cpu 1.475v drop to 1.46v
GLT auto
PLL 1.52v
fsb 1.36v
Mem 2.36v
NB 1.26v

an foto to test volt set to 4GHZ fun 32M

[BeastNotro]

Ok thks but what batch number is your CPU?

Also is this SAFE for 24/7 4.2ghz, i know your running a lot higher volts then me, but what about CPU degradation and such and intels VTT (FSB volts) spec is only MAX of 1.15 on these chips.

cpu 1.336
GLT auto
PLL 1.52v
fsb 1.26v or 1.28 (i forget right now)
Mem 2.00v
NB 1.26v

[Martin.v.r]

E8600 Q820a606

but what about CPU degradation ? 0% watercooling

[BeastNotro]

Ok great thks and thats a good one for sure .... now what about my volts i am using and intels specs and such?

[Martin.v.r]

if jo got watercoolig is 1,5v ok temp max 62load

[BeastNotro]

if jo got watercoolig is 1,5v ok temp max 62load

I air cooling and yeah i know what yeah mean if temps are OK then it should be fine, but the VOLTS is waht scare me as many have either killed CPU or the CPU has degraded in 2-4 weeks time is to high VTT.

I want water cooling, but i don't know what to buy in which is a really good setup for say $300.00 and will it lower temps 20C ...

[psychok9]

Does anyone know if Bios 1306 still overvolts vDIMM, and by how much? I recall someone claiming the overvolt was reduced to 0.02v (from 0.08v) in Bios 1201, but haven't seen confirmations, or data for 1306.

Really? It will be great!
With 0.8v overvolt... is very dangerous, because many user (me ) set 2.10/2.15v... and go, without knowing, to 2.23v
