short answer - yesQuote:

When I bought this board, I thought I could vary fan speed as a function
of CPU temperature. However, if I set fan to 'silent' or 'performance' all it does
is lower my fan speed, it's as though I just inserted a series fixed resistor.
Speed remains constant regardless of CPU temp. In 'optimal', the fan runs
at full speed always, again, no relation to temp.
The P5W DH, P965 DQ6, and AW9D MAX all have intelligent fan control, as
temp rises, the fan speed also rises, and I expected the same from the
P5B. Is there something wrong, like a setting that
needs to be addressed, or is this just the way it's designed to work, no
'intelligent' fan control? Also, same question for the P5B deluxe.
P.S.
If fan is connected to CPU header, then fan runs at full speed regardless
of fan control profile or temp., the 'fan control' does nothing at all.
I'm very disappointed because the performance of this board is fine, just as good as the others I mentioned at a fraction of the price. But the lack of fan
control is a deal breaker, it goes back if I can't get it to work.
My E6600 @ 3734Mhz orthos stable for 10+ hours before i stopped it, but everytime i do 3Dmard 05, it reboot at the CPU test. I reduce the The CPU to 3680MHz and it runs fine.Quote:

Now that I am back in XP I can see that the Vista partition is well and truly hosed.

I haven;t even experienced a single 1x boot with my P5B. Have used all available bios and currently have 0711 installed.
I wish I could say the same.... the shipping bios (can't remember now 50something) didn't give me problems, but everyone after that has when trying to OC (and going back to the original didn't work either) ... I have not gone to 711 yet, maybe I'll give it a try.Quote:

how to deal with over voltage error? :(
Use stock vcore or up..
Or disable the F1 thingy in the bios. Forgot what tab its under but its under a sub menu thats with the hardware monitoring.
^^^
Haven't tried disabling "F1 notice" but you can find the temp reading/warning in the HW monitoring section, as deathman20 said...I did this with other Asus mobos...just set to "Ignore", rather than provide a warning reading in ur BIOS. Your temps will still show using other monitoring s/w. IIRC, it will still show ur temps in the BIOS, too.Quote:

The CDRW has the jumper set to "master", and is on the master connector, & uses the mobo's (only) Pri IDE conn.
My single WD Raptor's on the SATA1 channel off the Intel ICH8R, set to IDE config, and all is well there.
IF I reset the BIOS via manually clearing, or install a new BIOS, I can see the CDRW in my BIOS boot order listing upon the initial new POST, but as soon as I leave the BIOS, & boot into windows, it disapppears for good. Very weird, & very irritating; Otherwise I really like this E6600/P5B-Dlx/G.Skill 6400HZ combo...a lot! :cool:

0711 was crap for me, made more problems than it fixed. did not fix boot bug or power off cmos clearing. Plus it made the exact same overclocks with older bios unstable. I reverted back to 0706 and it's perfect.
0711 is the best bios for me yet!! Very stable, i dont oc, but i do tweak the memory timings, and this is the best bios for that. If i tried to tweak timings before, it would always crash or no boot at all. But no such problems no more.. :)
Goooo 0711!!! :D
I did distabled "hold for F1 on error" but it still produces that stupid sound that bothers me most. I didn't found that thing in HW monitoring section :)Quote:

I just flashed to 0711 and now my computer will not boot.
steps i took:
1. clock back to stock
2. Use asus update utility and bois downloaded from asus website
3. flash was successful and it asked me to restart.
4. after restart, when i would normally see my ide drive it just said, "Searching for ide devices" or something of the sort.
5. Turn off, reset cmos
6. Turn back on, fans power up... no post, only black screen.
7. Turn back off, Disconnect IDE drive, turn back on, fans power up... no post, only black screen
Try clearing cmos like asus suggests...shut down, remove battery, move jumper for 4-5 seconds, replace jumper, replace battery...fire it up...Quote:

I believe they are under the southbridge config (I'm not at that machine right now) - there is only 1 or 2 options in the menu.

I have a guestion about this P5B-DLX mobo:D
Does it run SLI, can you use 2 NVIDIA cards?
Thanks,

My infinity will...haven't had a chance to try the P5B cuz one of my cards went south. All you need is the hacked driver set...Quote:

Can finally boot @ 1:1 & 449mhz FSB with tight DDR2 timings to run benchies. :D using 711 bios
I need better DDR2 to get SuperPi dual 32mb times down. Should be coming next week or thereabouts. Today was hot in OZ, ambients of 28C & no H20 cooling for me. :down:
Its a pity the NBv don't go higher than 1.65v on this Asus board. :(

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...-8-3dual32.jpg
Yes use that for SLI for its 8X by 8X- the P5B Deluxe I think is only 16x by 4x- runs off of the southbridge instead of the northbridge (I THINK? I should know as I am running SLI on the P5B Deluxe! LOL! I need to ask Coolaler and you should to!)Quote:

I had everything Orthos Blend stable for 6 hrs.+ with bios 0507, & with every bios since, including current 0711, i cannot get it even close to stable for more than a couple hours @ the same settings.
Increased vcore, vFSB, vdimm, & it's still not stable as it was with less vcore, vFSB, & vdimm like with 0507 :nono:
Of course, i don't really want to go back to the older ones with double restarts either.
Ok I've been playing with my system a bit ... current setup is:
P5B-Deluxe bios rev 0711
Conroe 6300
G.skill PC 5400 mem, rated 5-5-5-15, running at rated CL, 1:1
435 FSB currently (ie 3.05 Ghz)
Stock cooling.
On to my issue. I've been through a multitude of different FSB clocks, and a lot of 'stable' ones. I did an initial run of 3dmark 2006 before OCing anything, and my results after OC to certain FSB speeds are very poor for graphics performance even though CPU speed goes up.
I'll demonstrate:
FSB: 333
Total: 4043
SM2: 1617
HDR: 1522
CPU: 1955
FSB: 350
Total: 3273
SM2:1105
HDR: 1357
CPU: 2045
FSB: 375
Total: 4119
SM2: 1619
HDR: 1532
CPU: 2221
Before you say this is due to choosing clocks in the 300's, the same is the case 400+, where 400, 415, 420, 425, 433, 440 are all "low graphics scores", but 417 and 435 are unaffected in graphics performance.
You can tell instantly as the FPS is about 20-30% lower in the tests at the 'wrong' FSB clocks.
So why 433 is bad, and 435 is good and then 440 is bad .. is beyond me frankly ..
Anyone have ideas? I've read though the lengthy article on strap speeds and timings, but that doesn't seem relevant with these particular numbers, and only graphics being affected.
Anything weird happening with PCIE lock maybe?
Just to make it even more weird... the clocks that work for me, are not the same that work for a friend with a very similar setup (same bios, chip and board, diff mem)
(Btw, the G.skill rocks... really stable and goes way way over rated speed)
Probably whatever they did to the strap changes to make it stop double booting is the culprit...probably had to back off on something somewhere to make it possible to do the strap changes without a double reset.
Decipher, read this thread and you will see your answer a few pages back.
First, open CPUZ and see what your PCIe readings are....they should be x16 x16.... if they show x1 x16 (which I'm pretty sure they do), then you need to do the following:
raise your NB voltage, and drop your PCI frequency in BIOS from 100 (or whatever you have it) to 96, and try again
The scores don't seem low enough to be caused by your PCIE slot booting as 1x instead of 16x, but you should check anyway (one of the CPUZ tabs can tell you) since this is the exact behaviour I was getting - any overclock brought down graphics scores tremendously (cut AM3 score in half)Quote:

Oc'd to 3.6 (400x9) and about 20% on the graphics card (1900 256).
Score dropped to 4600.
I'll try the fixes above; thanks.

2. Watch for the double restart (this is changing the strap, in my case also resetting the PCI-E)
3. Change divider back.
:) Good luck!
I tried that and it didn't work...looks like there are several ways and the only way on my board was 110 pci-e...weird little beasty board.Quote:

I'm considering going SLI and having my eyes on P5W64 WS. ;)
I know this has been posted before somewhere. What bios settings do I need so my vcore-temps go down when the cpu is not being used much? Spread spectrum or what? I've went into the cpu options and enabled "cpu tm function" and it still wont throttle itself down one bit.
I do understand that its not as stable but I would like to give it a shot instead of idling at 50c. Sure thats not bad but I rather idle at 29 :) any helps appreciated
Once you change the vcore settings from Auto, the undervolting under idle functionality stops working.Quote:

Is it possible to pencil vdroop. I think so if you see the mod.
Actually CPU-z reads it correctly up until you pass the 1.45V in bios. Then it can get ify will read right up until the idle or load voltage goes past 1.45V then it reads incorrect.
But its software readings, best way is to use a DMM to measure the voltage.
Actually, my experience is the exact opposite...CPU-z reads 1.2v no matter what the vcore is until I get to 1.5v, at which time it starts to read about .06v low, but it starts to scale up.Quote:

hi there
i'm becoming insane as i write those words :o
i bought a P5B deluxe last week (rev 1.03G) with a E6600 (L629)
I tried it this week with a pci card and i was very impressed (at least with superpi) ;)
today, i decided to install my X1900GT
well, it started nicely : impossible to boot with the GT card
back to pci card, flash with last bios (0711)
very hard to boot but well, it booted (after some strange restarts) after putting in the blue slot my old GTO²
i did some test with 3dmark 01 and i did 35k with 550/630 graphic card and E6600@ 3.2GHz. was rather good (normal) to me
anyways, i put back the 1900GT card and once i was in windows (so lucky !), i ran a 3Dmark 01... I found the fps being quite low, even after a slight oc of the graphic card
and you know certainly what I found with cpuz after : PCIE blocked to 1X :/
I tried everything i read in this topic and well, you may have understood : nothing worked :/
my first intel rig (after 6years with AMD)... god must hate me :(
I hope asus will release a better bios ASAP as i'm starting to lose patience ;)
F#*^# :mad: :mad:
I tried to go back to 3.5 and the freakin board is Fudged again!!! WTF?!!
I cleared the CMOS, let it sit there for 10 min, and nothing...it just does one of two things:
1. Boots up with fans running but no POST
or
2. boots with one long beep followed by two short beeps, repeatedly.
nothing I do works!!
PLEASE HELP!!!
OH GOD I NEED HELP BADLY :(
I downloaded 0711 from ASUS website and went to install it through Asus update in Windows.
It said "Erasing EPROM (or whatever the first one is) and then said "Failed, press next to try again or exit to abort". So I pressed "next" and nothing. Several times and still nothing. I had no choice but to press exit to abort. I did so and downloaded it from another location. I went to go into ASUS Update and it said "CANNOT GET BIOS INFO". So I couldn't re-flash.
I reset the computer to try to reflash or use the EZ Crash Free Bios 3 that came on the ASUS CD..... No boot up at all.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP! - Is there any way of sorting this?
Thanks all.
beep codes are just a place to beginQuote:

this forces the board to default and will post if its from overclock error.
if not you could have lost video(swap out your card )
hope this helps.

Well, i have updated bios in windows several times, and no prob at all. I think, that is much easier and faster.
If it doesn't boot, it s over. Your only option is to RMA it.
But , why did u reboot, u had to knew that bios was corrupted......:fact: :slapass:
If i were u, i would buy DS3 or Tforce, those boards are also good.
Now my question,
in the bios of p5b dlx, u can set the sub timings for ur memory,
do u guys let em at 10-10-10-10?
Who knows a memory timing programme where i can check all my timings (not everest).
And, what exactly is vFSB termination, never heard before Core2duo.
Updates to 711, and reboot issue has gone!! :D
Still does it after settings change but i can live with that.
well....we have an AMI bios, not IBM, and there is no 1l/2s beep code in AMU's list. The IBM one shows that as a video error, but I highly doubt it as I even changed cards and same thing.Quote:

Asus P5B Deluxe Wifi
E6300
Corsair TWIN2X1024-6400C4
MSI 7900GTO
LC Green Power 550W, 6550GP V2.0 Silent Giant black
(+5V=40A, +12V1=16A, +12V2=18A, +3.3=35A, -5V=0.5A, -12V=0,8A, +5Vsb=2.0A)
3pcs hard disk
1pc DVD-burner
My computer is now running rock solid on 7x470mhz. Could my power be to small?
Asus pc probe shows this:
Vcore 1.32v
+3.3 = 3.28v
+5 = 5.04v
+12 = 12.20v
Cpu = 42c
MB = 30c

Have u tried higher timings?
5-5-5-15
My G.Skill 2gbhz PC6400 (400MHz) @ PC7552 (472MHz) running on 266 SPD timings (4-4-4-10) ,
it somehow works stable at 2.1 V :woot: . (got error at 2.05 )
It could also be a limit , not every dimm can take too much voltage.
I have tried higher timings but no help from that. I have also tried only with one memory module but that makes no difference.
Should not Corsair TWIN2X1024-6400C4 work with high voltage? They are rated to 2.1v and what i have read so people use them at 2.4-2.5v.
As I couldn't do anything. I said earlier that there was nothing I could do. It was just saying "CANNOT READ BIOS". I couldn't re-flash or anything.Quote:

2.2V or higher must not be a problem. But you never know,
if u have tried everything, i would send it back, it could be a bad revision (guess).
2moonraker,
Can't u just send it back to ur reseller (shop, where u bought the mobo)? Because u just have warranty (unless no bill?)
