OK, thanks for your answer. So I guess my previous setting of 2.06 (I manually typed 2.05 in bios, but it saves as 2.06) was about right.Quote:

Hi guys, just a question.
What are the normal temps of the board? I´m having 42-43 playing crysis, is this to mutch?
Idle around 30.
I'm using Everest Ultimate v4.1-something. But also note that like I said in my previous post, a couple of times I've checked AI Suite when Everest stops reporting NB temps, and AI Suite says NB temps are 180-190C. The NB obviously ISN'T 180-190C, since I'd be able to feel that kind of heat on the heatsink.Quote:

FYI Problems on GSkill F2-8000CL5D-4GBPQ DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000)
Well, first of all, ,I have an Asus P5E X38 motherboard, and the RAM wasn't really stable on my slots 1 and 3, I switched them to 2 and 4, enabled Loadline Calibration, disabled transaction booster (relax level to 0), set my RAM to 2.06v (motherboard overvolts by 0.04v) and here I am, with a stable DDR2 800 4-4-4-12 1T running a nice 1:1 ratio with my 3.2GHz Q6600 (8*400)."CPU Volt ETC all AUTO No Vdrop at all"
not sure if that helps I can set that up on new bios 0601
Not me :DQuote:

Keep us posted, I'll try 0601 when my E8400 arrives :p:Quote:

Right now testing the limits of my new 8400 on a P5E with bios 502.
I don't want to mess with another bios now, so i'll wait for a few more user info... :)
Any idea if that cooler will fit on P5E ?
http://www.zalman.com/ENG/product/Pr...ad.asp?idx=156
I did order the mobo from 2 days hopefully it will come soon ill post my results then.
0601 bios still fails memtest with crucial ballistix tracer 8500 ram at stock speeds. many people on the asus forums has this problem as well. come on asus and fix the problem already.
i can do a prime blend for 14hours+ but fail memtest in the first pass.
Bios update '0601' is to "Fix system fail to resume from S3 when using production version of Wolfdale CPU" from 'Bios History' of their support page. I am not clear how the 'S3' option in the Power Menu of the bios affects the 'sleep' mode in Vista, which I use? I have an E8400 on the way, so I am not clear if I need this update.
0601 seems fine, I think it was to fix a stall that occured every now and then when you rebooted with a 45nm chip
I was using the 0601 but now my turn signals in my truck stopped working so I went back to the 0502.
hahaha, noes seriously i think i'll hold out another week to see more results from 0601 here...Quote:

Which one is better?
Asus P5E64 WS Pro

asus P5E3 WS Pro
My E8400 was stable 4GHz (500x8)with 1.35v bios on my Gigabyte ds3p, 601 bios on this board , I cant get it stable on my p5e with 1.45v bios.
I know someone who has a P5E Standard (DDR2) and their BIOS also has the "Memory Remap" function :)
Now, does anyone know if the new 0601 BIOS is compatible with "Corsair TWIN2X2048-6400C4" RAM?
Apparently any BIOS after 0201 "breaks" support for this RAM (rather like BIOS 0808 breaking support for Patriot DDR3 on the P5E3)
John
0601 BIOS has given me a slightly better overclock, or maybe my chip just needed burning in
thanks man!:clap:Quote:

I got mine Asus P5E 2 days now, got my Q6600 on 1.42Vcore stable on 4Ghz. All the other voltage options i picked auto.
But my question is, how can i get 475 x 9 stable on this board. I mean, i went from a P35-DQ6 with little but usefull settings to a P5E with MUCH settings. Dunno what is what for...
I get this prob occasionally with 502 bios and a 8400. I'll update to 601 and see if it's fixed...Quote:

I'm happy, no I can run my Q6600 on 4Ghz with only 1.42V under load.
But still my question, how can I reach 475Mhz on this board ?
Would you be able to PM me your bios settings that your using? I posted a list of them a few pages back. Would be much appricated. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=889Quote:

Due to the FSB limitation of the Quads you might not get 475FSB with 1, on my other board I couldn't get above 465FSB with mine.
Does the Loadline Calibration/Voltage Damper setting work to at least a certain extent with the latest BIOS? Seems like everyone here is doing a Vdroop mod...

And yes i did the pencil mod that Cranox showed.
@ TWY, dunno but here it doesnt make any difference if it is turned on or off, with every bios i tested...
For now, 601 works the best, everything between 207 and 502 is bad ...
Ty Prodigys for that information. I also came from Gigabyte also so this board all the settings your not understanding I'm in the same boat :)

Just upgraded to an E8400 from Mwave. Batch #0745A567. I have temporarily settled at 4.0GHz (445 x 9) at 1.28v (1.25 actual). No sweat. Everything else on auto for now except ram at 1.90v and just completed 6 passes of Memtest error free. Is anyone using Speedfan 4.33, when it works. I am not sure which sensor's to choose for the core temp's.
Thanks
GSKILL PC8000 and Q6600 I can do way betterQuote:

Hey everyone. Looking for a new HS for my setup. Need recommendations. Must fit P5E hassle free though. TIA
I installed a Scythe Ninja Rev.b. I had to push it down slightly as it was barely hitting some fins. If I wanted to rotate it 90 degrees it fits no problem, but then the bottom aluminum fins are not in the direction of the fan. I used the Thermalright LGA775 Bolt-Thru-Kit and it was a breeze. In the future I will not have to take the motherboard out to change my cpu.
There is a thread on this at the Asus P5E Forum. http://vip.asus.com/forum/topic.aspx...ge=3&count=257
Hey guys,
This is my first post on these forums, having been recommended to come here! :)
I was hoping you guys could help me with overclocking the following spec to 3Ghz (I'm only using air cooling, so don't wanna go too high)
Conroe E6600, ASUS P5E,
Corsair 4GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX,
BFG 8800GT OC2, X-Fi Xtreme Gamer,
250Gb & 750Gb Western Digital SATA,
Antec Neo500, Windows HP Vista 64 bit.
I recently had issues with my Asus P5B which lead me to upgrading to this Asus P5E, my friend helped me overclock my CPU with the Asus P5B to 3ghz, but he's away for a long time, and im not familiar with these new mobo settings at all, and the RAM timing page looks a lot different. I'm not too tech savvy :(
RAM in particular i don't really understand :(
I just want the nice performance i had before back again, so any help from you all would be greatly appreciated :yepp: :up:
Here's the settings so it shouldn't waste too much of your time if any of you guys decide to help me out :)
Ai Clock Tuner :
CPU Ratio Setting :
FSB Frequency :
FSB Strap to Northbridge :
PCI-E Frequency :
Dram Static Read Control :
Ai Clock Twister :
Transaction Booster :
*Insert RAM timings here* :)
Vcore Voltage :

Dram Voltage :
Northbridge Voltage :
Southbridge Voltage :
Load Line Calibration :

NB GTL Reference :
SB 1.5v Voltage :

I'm on the newest Bios too, 0601 i believe :yepp:
Thanks in advance! :help:
hi all,
I have just installed the P5E with my E8500, i was just wondering if there are any hard mods for it out there, i have looked about but cannot find anything other than the pencil mod for the v-droop. Also is there a mod for increasing the v-core voltage past the 1.7v i can only do in the bios?
I'd also like to have some measuring points for both sets of mods so i know where i'm at;)
Thanks in advance for any help, i'd really like to get to 5ghz with this mobo.
Blokey57,
Install 2x1Gb of ram to allow you to boot the first time. You probably will probably not boot with 4x1GB of ram at stock settings.
Set AI Overclock Tuner to 'manual'. This allows you to set manual settings.
Then....
FSB: 333
VCore: 1.35
Dram Voltage: ~ 2.1v
Northbridge Voltage:1.45.
Everything else on auto
This should then allow to boot with 4x1GB of ram.
These are the settings you need to worry about initially. You might be able to lower VCore a little with testing. You can tinker with ram timings after you get your cpu set.
HAPPY MOTORING
Hey mate,
I've tried those settings, it booted ok so, i placed the remaining 2 sticks of RAM in to make 4Gb. This booted fine too.
However, i've tried Orthos with a Blend test (stresses CPU and RAM), priority 9 and it failed after 27 seconds :(
Was i being too hasty, do i need to try anything else before i start testing it?
I'm guessing the RAM let it down.
Thanks so far for your help Doakh! :)
Went on 601 to see if it would help my windows sleep problem.
it didn't, but everything else works it seems.
I figured since it said it helped wolfdale CPUs with S3 it might help my kenny also... but i honestly dont know if its a vista bug er my hardware messing up.
it wont sleep, and i kinda need it, since i use my computer as an alarm clock.... and its kinda expensive to have it run all night just to play an mp3, instead of sleeping like i do :P
Does the maximus board has the same memory issues (bios >0201) as the plain p5e?
I would run Memtest for your ram and if it passes (mine did overnight) then boot and test your cpu independently with Orthos. You could run a blend test at your final test, but I did not my system is solid 24/7.Quote:

They are the offset version, should i expect issues??? Or do i NEED to use 1 straight, 1 offset??? I'm using water cooling, so i figured both being offset would offer more room around the socket area.... :cool:
U don't need to buy an "offset" (HR-09S). This is for use with heatsinks.
Also both leave the exact same space around the cpu socket cause the lower heatsink sits in the exact same position... ;)
Ahhh, well, the offset ones were a bit cheaper than the standard "upright", thats the only reason i was asking. But, i should be fine then correct??
Ok, thanks for the info. Keep'em comming guys, need to order an HS soon.Quote:

So I got home, put it back in the case with my g.skill and it booted. But it keeps regularly not posting, which requires me to remove the video card and ram cooler to remove the battery to reset the bios, putting in 1 stick of 800MHz, booting then putting the 1066 back in.
I'm going to return it again in the next few days, as it says on the Asus site it supports 1066MHz, but the shop told me it doesn't.
I dunno whether or not to ask for a different brand board, ie: Gigabyte, if Asus have these issues.

Boot with 2x1GB and increase the memory and northbrigde voltage (1.45v) for 4x1GB to boot. I would suggest you need to have them pass Memtest 2.0 also. http://forum.x86-secret.com/forumdisplay.php?f=14
Yeah I'm only running 2 sticks in it atm with the OCZ is being RMA'd. Had to post it to the USA from Australia :DQuote:

When it was at the shop They put my cpu and g.skill in it and it wouldn't post. They then put a A-Data 800MHz stick in (just a single) and it posted. When I got home it booted with my ram fine, but this just randomly happens every couple of days to a week. I've had the board about a month now.
Dead ram.
my crucial ballistix tracer 8500 fail memtest at stock speeds, even at 500mhz 5-5-5-15 (slower than stock speeds). People on the asus forums have the same problem as well. my ram is 12hours memtest stable on my bro's Asus P5K 1394.Quote:

only last night when switching from vista to xp did i noticed some slow down and some instability with the os.....
this worried me as the machine had been perfectly stable for over 6months and was only running at 3.6gig....
my ram was at 1008mhz @2.2v with 4.4.4.12.... i knew this board overvolted the ram but didnt notice any build up of excessive heat...
i restarted the pc for it not to boot....
after sitting there for a good 20 minutes wondering what was wrong and checking my loop for leaks i realised that the ram and north bridge were still extremely hot to the touch....
i then took out all but one stick of ram and the system booted...
i used memtest and it passed... i then added the other sticks one by one, untill i installed the fourth which unfortunatly did not pass the first 30 seconds of the first test.... i then restarted only to get a black screen...
i had to take out all the memory barring one stick for it to boot upon which i added more volts to the north bridge, considering that could be the cause of the errors with all four sticks installed.
unfortunatly this was not the case and this morning two of my D9 GMH pc8500 are dead...
but after reading the prior posts i'm not so sure...
i've bought another 4gb set which should be here tommorow, i'll let you know how i get on...
i'm also going to revert to an earlier bios version as this could of caused these issues....
i hope someone else is able to come up with a solution... i know i'm trying...
Let me give you guys my story and how I ultimately got it to work....
I went through 3 pairs of pc2-6400 ballistix on my p5e...first pair both burned out after 1 week...1 stick out of my second pair burned out after 1 day....And this was with NO OVERCLOCKING, NOTHING ZILCH NADA...just stock settings and stock volts (2.2)...
Got my third pair and plopped them in and decreased my volts to 1.96 (2.2v asus suite) and they ran fine @ stock...pushed them to 950 MHZ (150 MHZ overclock) at 5-5-5-15 settings and memtested overnight..perfect (2 weeks now)
I find it hard to belive that 2 pairs came defective..so the board has to have overvolted by a crap load (2.2V bios = close to 3V asus suite) or these sticks are very sensitive to a ~.05V overvolt (previous poster says he used a multimeter to record the voltage and said its overvolt is ~.05V)
So either these sticks are ultra sensitive to a .05V increase or P5E really overvolts the RAM...Try lowering your volts and see how you do
The G.Skill PC8500 is fine, it passed 5 1/2 hours of memtest v2.0 last night in my DS3P.
I am starting to believe it is a issue either with my board and this speed ram, or just the P5E in general.
Actually reading thru the last few posts I am starting to wonder if 601 bios could have caused this.
This was when I returned it to the shop, only to be told to use 800MHz ram. :down:Quote:

I am about to RMA my brand new 2X1GB Ballistix, it failed memtest after 20 minutes, so most likely nothing is wrong with this RAM? I am currently using my old Geil DDR2-1000.
memtest would fail within 10mins for me. i was about to send it off for warranty until i read about the problems people were having on the asus forums and decided to test the ram on my bro's comp. memtest86+ was completely stable. i would try testing your ram in another motherboard before sending it off for warranty. apparantly bios's released after 107 (i think) have caused ram issues.Quote:

it seems most the problems are comming from the Micron D9GMH Chip
make sure you disable legacy usb in the bios... this is whats causing the the errors on good ram... according to yellowbeard...
unfortunatly its no help to me as i have well and truely fried my d9's.. i have 2x2gb sticks arriving tommorow so i'll be able to see if the mem slots on my board are faulty aswell...
cant wait for tommorow when the ram arrives....
not very good news for some 1 who ordered this mobo from 2 days and i have 4 sticks of supertalent T800UX2GC4
the mobo should be here by tomorrow ill report back
Seems ASUS P5E overvolts ram quite abit!
1.96V Bios - 2.2V actual
2.04V Bios - 2.4V Actual
Had my old Ram @ 2.1V bios and wondered why they could fry Eggs on them was 2.55V actual from that bios setting!!
Currently trying to get New ram
PC10000 - 5-5-5-18 @ 2.4V
AI-Suite is Bogus or realistic? makes sense but no Vdim readout in bios so?? :shrug:
Asus IT suite is incorect,
Setting bios to match Asus IT suite gave me unstable speeds for 1250Mhz
But setting 2.4V in bios lets me have stable 1250 5-5-5-18
If overvolt contiued to jump 0.1V actual per 0.04V bios then @ 2.4V bios my sticks would be 3V+ easy thus be dead instantly or stupidly hot but they are not
Asus AI suite no longer works under these settings validity somewhat lessend
Where does AI suit tell vDIMM for the P5E? I can't find any programs to get a windows reading on anything but vCore , 3v / 5v / 12v .
Psycho_eddie, how do get the 'Actual' readings? I got a DMM the other day and will try to measure mine soon.

So, it is confirmed that this board overvolts the ram, by amost a full volt above actuall setting??? :confused:
I measure Vdimm here

Guys, the board is NOT overvolting RAM. AI Suite is wrong, and I'll tell you why :down:
Let's see the different steps we have in BIOS to enter vDimm:
1.80 1.82 1.84 1.86 1.88 1.90 1.92 1.94 1.96 1.98 2.00 etc.
Now let's see what are the steps "available" in AISuite:
1.80 1.85 1.90 1.95 2.00 2.05 2.10 2.15 2.20 2.25 2.30 etc.

So, when you put them closer...
1.80 1.82 1.84 1.86 1.88 1.90 1.92 1.94 1.96 1.98 2.00 etc.
1.80 1.85 1.90 1.95 2.00 2.05 2.10 2.15 2.20 2.25 2.30 etc.
When you select 1.82v in BIOS, AISuite will show 1.85v. If you use 2.00v, it will show 2.30v. Try it with the actual voltage you have selected in BIOS, count the steps in BIOS and then count the steps in AISuite. You'll see that they are the same! So AISuite is not reading vDimm correctly. Also, with the measure point Cranox has posted before, I can confirm this. With 1.80v in BIOS, the actual vDimm is 1.82v. With 2.00, it's 2.03v REAL.
So you can now blame AISuite, the problem is not the board. Very good Asus :down:
I think you are wrong, i'm using 601 since the it comes out and as you can see:Quote:

It did work great.
Nice work man, so you are saying I am actually undervolting my RAM? Its rated 2.2 and I set it in bios at 1.96. Lol!Quote:
