When im setting the fsb higher then 360, the pci-e speed gets down to x1 and my gfx performance sucks.
I have tryed to 2 oficial bioses and the beta bios, but no change(at a point i could have x16 until 399, but can't remember when that was)
i have also tryed setting the pci-e to 100 and 101 MHz with no change
Other then me having this problem or a solution for me?
try 400FSB and try to play with the SB and NB voltage. My P5B Deluxe was also getting the 1x bug, but 1,45 to the NB and 1,6 to SB and the problem was gone
pci-e @100~101 may be too low people who i've seen with this issue have sorted it with >105 or so.
How high can i set the pci-e before damageing anything? don't wana damage my 3 raid0 arrays
120 is about the max, so i'd say maybe 118. I run a 4x80gb raid & have run up to 115 without mishap.
luck:)
110MHz PCI-E and it boots with 16x every time.
Thx alot.
Final bug to get rid of now is just the sata2 problem with my 2 500GB disks :(
argh... I have this problem too but I am not as lucky as GargaZol. I am at 110mhz PCIE and it's still 1x for me... the graphics totally licks. sometimes my system crashes when I play games at 1x and reboots at 16x no problem. why is that happening? and how do I fix problem? and does the sata2 problem only happen when you are doing raid or it affects ide mode?
If your at 110 ther's another 8 steps that might get you rightQuote:

I have only tryed raid, as it is what i wana use :)Quote:

Im afraid it is a wery known bug that the board don't work with sata2 disks, and depending on the driver/bios, some modes work.
Here is a link to a big thread at asus

Thx Supershanks, I go the 16x lock at 115 and NB/SB set to auto. Now I can play games again:up:Quote:

I "solved" the problem by jumping my 2 WD500AAKS, forcing the in to sata1 mode
Nice going , enjoy :up:Quote:

@mono666
Just out of interest after getting the pci-e back to x16 by going to 115 if you go back into bios & drop back to 100 or 101, does it retain the pci-e at x16. ??
reason i ask is here Gfx only running at x1 I don't hav the issue but wonder if clunk's suggestion works :-
cheers:)Quote:
Yeah, you dont want it to stay that high. Just put it back to 100 and it should stay at 16x. If not, try 101
I have also problem with my samsung HD...I see it in bios but not in Vista. How do you force it to SATA1 mode?Quote:
