- Lowered CPU PLL Voltage from 1,52v to 1,50v

mmmm that's 1.8 in reality , better go up to 1.52 again... to have 1.53 real...

Argh, are you absolutely sure? I'm lazy to pick up my multimeter, open case and measure again. But i'm gonna do it anyway, update in a few minutes.

EDIT: One of these days i'm gonna have a nice surprise... if my hand shakes for a bit :P

Anyway, voltage reads 1.55volts so it's 0,05 more than what i have set in the BIOS.

[Leeghoofd]

Which bios NaMco ? need to get my board out to measure it ... maybe when my WC stuff arrives...

[NaMcO]

Still on 0803, i didn't find a reason to go 1103. It seems pretty stable now, wanna try and lower some voltages a bit more, specially VCORE.

Argh...looks like I'm not going to figure out my problem before it's too late -_-. I wish I knew what to check, but this is kind of hard to troubleshoot since I don't know what, specifically, causes this sort of problem.

Rundown of the current condition-

1. In Teamspeak, I get some pops from time to time on the output
2. I *used* to get a problem where a bunch of sounds simultaneously would cause the sound to just turn into static and fade out, then fade back in as the sounds died down
3. I've had some stuttering that seemed to be related to the sound

Basically, I want to know if this is a problem from a defective board, or if it's probably driver related, because I need to return the board if it's defective. I just don't know what would be hardware-induced, though.

Besides that, it seems to run pretty well. Note that I have the sound going through the coax digital out of the board to an external converter, but I don't have this problem with the converter on anything else.

BIOS is 0704

I say put in a sound card and see if that resolves the issue if so then it is the sound built into the mb.


I am on my new board and boy does it seems 100% more stable. I really did a number on the last one. I am babying this one big time now. I am on 0605 right now though. I guess I will jump to the 1103 now.

Somebody knows where to find the audio drivers (for AD2000B)?
Are they present ONLY on Asus website? SoundMax? These are a little 'dated ... compared to generic realtek drivers that come 2 or 3 times a month.
I tried to look for driver on www.analog.com but here I found nothing.
Thanks! Cloud.

I have a feeling I saw article saying ADI dropped support for integrated audio. So it may be final release


EDIT: Looks like the article has been updated after I've read it. Or then it was different article I read a while back

"More specifically, ADI will fulfill its commitments to current customer product launches and will continue providing software updates to sustain older platforms."

I had this problem once before, it was not with this board I think it was with my DFI expert but I cant be sure as the board is the most changed thing inside my PC, it turned out to be my RAM, causing errors all over the place, are you overclocking ? and if so, give you RAM a very good stability check, even the bellow image doesnt satisfy me enough and I wont stop it till it reachs at least 6500% and even known it to pick up errors there, even 1 error is bad.

What chip can OC higher with this board Q9450 or Q6600?

Also, what type of ram do you recommend for this board, i need 4GB.

I guess they will clock to about the same speeds on average but the 9450 is about %5 faster clock for clock, I would get the 9450 but wait tell the new E0 (I think it is E0) stepping comes out. For ram I absolutely love this stuff....

I keep finding ways to push my kit harder and harder and have never once been above 1.96v. Right now I am at 1133mhz PL8/Strong with SRC and MemOC Charger enabled.

So this seems to be 400 strap... You should try 333 strap just for test...

333 would not let me run my ram at 1133mhz. I can choose from 1066 or 1133 with FSB strap on auto, not sure what strap let's me run 1066mhz

Try to run the sound via normal way... if this works correct then, you could have the same issue as the P5B Dlx in the old days where the digital output was messed up... we swapped several boards then but it was a hardware problem not driver releated...

[Lewis23]

Hi! Did somebody try the new 1103 bios? I'm looking to update my bios from 0702 to x? ACtually i don't know which version to use. Tnx!

Greets!

[KoHaN69]

quick question:
the only PCIE 16x slot is the blue one (PCIe 2.0 x16_1 slot), right?
the middle black one PCIe 2.0 x16_2 slot is only 8x
and the bottom Universal PCIe 2.0 x16_3 slot is only 4x

the bold names is how they are referred to in the manual.
that's damn confusing, why call a slot x16_2 or X16_3 when it's not x16? just because it's the same size as an x16?

Ok, so ADI will continue prividing software updates.... but... on ADI web site I found no drivers and there is no the new codec in the SoundMax codec list.

Guys, 1103 just disappeared from ASUS' download site, just like 1003 did!

Ok this is what I have to say about this BIOS. I got everything installed last night Vista, service pack 1, Drivers exc.. Everything was fine and dandy no issues. I then flashed to 1103 and I started hanging on my way into Windows.. I remebered seeing someone saying that they had popped out their other BIOS chip and flashed it to the newer one because they were having wierd issues. I did this and the flash ruined the chip inopperable.. I took that chip and stuck it in my drawer..... I really don't know what the deal is here I'm guessing the bios file I got off the site was either corrupt or, my memory is going bad and when I downloaded it I corrupted it there or when I went to flash it my memory ruined it there... The thing is I know everything was fine and working up until that point and everything went south from there so... Oppinions please on this. I'm guessing there is a way for me to force flash the bios back on the ed up one and the other one that is still usable enough to get into BIOS settings and what not. Its just as soon as I get to where it wants to load Windows boom it locks up. Am I right that I can run in dos and force flash the bad bios back while it is in the backup bios chip hole? It's going to be a fun night or me. Thanks guys for help here.

Most of the time when I first boot into windows it will hang for several minutes and then work fine, even when I restart it boots up with no problems. Only time it hangs is on the first boot after it has been shut off, what is the deal with that? This has always happened no matter what bios I had, 0704,0803 and 1103 all did the same thing with different overclock and settings.

Mine will not get into windows. I even was going to try to reload windows and when it went to detect the hard drives part the screen went all screwy and fuzzy and all particled and . It has got to be the bios because that is when everything went down hill.

What pisses me off is that I get a new fresh smelling board and it goes to within an hour or three.....

Try downgrading your BIOS. I'm running 1103, but I liked most the 803 stability wise. I had to up some Voltages with the latest.

With 605 BIOS I can't boot into windows, must be a disk related issue, 803, 1102, 1103 boot fine here.

[Seanie's Show]

Dont wish to rub salt into any of you guys wounds, but this makes me so glad that I brought the P5Q-E version rather than the Deluxe, I didnt go for the Deluxe cos if the 16 phase power curcuit, we have done with 8 for all these years, who needs 16, and really you could say the 8 phase is really 12 as the NB and the memory have 2 seperate all of their own.

Not had any problems with any of the bioses on the E, although the new one 1003 is rock solid stable, and allows my same overclock with less voltage and slightly tighter timmings on my RAM.

My 0605 was perfect it was booting right into windows and everything. I was wondering if the big jump in BIOS revision screwed something up..
