I wish I could be as fortunate as you. With LLC disabled I get the following:Quote:

This is why I was looking for a volt mod earlier in this thread. I was able to cut Vdroop in half using a volt mod on my Maximus Formula w/ LLC disabled.
There you go:

why you do not enable the LCC?Quote:

I've never killed a single stick of RAM, and I've used ASUS mainly, but also Intel and DFI. The only weird behaviour was those f*cking D9s degradating with time, but they were alive after all. I learned my lesson, no more D9 dying crap for me. Thanks to Powerchip this is a thing of the past, and luckily almost all 2x2GB DDR2 kits are Powerchips :up:Quote:

Now I put in your timigns via memset :
http://users.pandora.be/OAP/P5QDlx/mumid2.JPG
to me there is not much too it... P45 looses on Read and latency but wins big time on Copy
Thats excellent not much in it at all and with tweaks and bios optimisations its most likely that P45 will surely surpass P35 in every way. Thanks for the tests mate. Will the board run blend with those settings fine?Quote:

@ Leeghoofd
500fsb it's not much to 24/7...i think..
what you think??
the LCC is enabled?
I don't use LLC for my 24/7 clocks I need to set around 1.32 to get 1.28 under full load with the wolfdale, with the quad I need 1.31 for 1.25 action... and even without LLC the Vcore is fabulously smooth :

In this thread there were some pics showing reading points for vdimm, vNB, vPLL and vFSB. If you don't find them PM me, I've them saved. vdimm and vNB are very easy to read :up:Quote:

Can anyone shed some insight into the skews?
With memtest being buggy I mean the test in dos , my 2gb stick ( that caused me multiple BSOD's) passed over 15 loops of memtest, yet OCCT RAM test capped out under 30 mins... Same with Prime blend mode, passed 8 hours with the same stick...Quote:

hi guys!
I tried the 0703 BIOS for p5q, but it seems its worse then the first one. I reached with the 05xx issue 6x590, I thought I could go over 600 with the new release, but with this 0703 i dont even get over 535 with the same processor. Some new options were added, I adjusted them a lot, and I dont know what value to set them.:shrug: I saved the 6x590 setting to an OC profile, but it dont seems to work with this BIOS. What template should I use with this new BIOS? Or is this release really worse then the first one?
It's pretty normal previous saved OC profiles don't work anymore with a new bios... I would try to pop the battery so that all remaining stuff from the previous bios are erased... and then try again,
Move one step at a time it could be eg that they decreased latencies or such so previous settings do not work properly...
If no go plz list all ya hardware specs so we can spread the word...
Alright guys, I think I've hit a wall @ 450FSB. I'm looking for 24/7 Stability. Not looking for Benching. I can Boot into Windows @ 500FSB, but higher the FSB (from 450), and the sooner it comes crashing down.
@ 460FSB I'm able to stay in Windows without any operational problems, but Prime95 begins to show "Worker thread stopped" one by one. Doesn't really crash the system. Anything beyond 450-460FSB and Prime95 & OCCT eventually fail.
So is this it for 24/7 stability or can I do anything more? These are my settings - I haven't gone up on these settings at all. Didn't know if I should. Can you take a look at my volts/settings and see if there's any more room for me to play with - if there's anything else I should increase?

If like you said system gets well into windows but fails on a core in small FFT's it's usually Vcore... you can also try to drop down to 7x and see if you can get 475 stable with above settings... make sure ya ram stays in sync !!!
How hot does that CPU run with ya Freezer ?
I needed GTL 670 on all cores , load line enabled and 400ps cpu clock skew to get past 453 fsb but 500 is do-able now . I am using 477x8.5 for daily use currently .
I'll give these values a shot!! Any room within CPU PLL, FSB Term & DRAM? Or should I leave those alone?Quote:

When I press Ctrl-Alt-Del in booting up b4 loading into Windows the same problem will occur. Headache. What could be the problem? Already flashed to the latest official 0704 bios.
I don’t wish to clear cmos everytime I change and save a setting in bios.
Probably your OC settings are not good enough Shevfa, one of the reasons the system goes into fail safe mode, if you shut it down then it a) has reseted all bios defaults or b) ya old settings are still there but need alteration...
Pop the battery for a few minutes and put it back... could be a bad flash also
I have not even overclock. I can change bios setting the 1st time after i clear cmos but not the 2nd time round.Quote:

Bummer...same problem here :( I just got my P5Q-D last night. Got everything hooked up, turned pc on for the first time...fans turn on, monitor turns on from energy saving mode but the screen is black, no post. Also I have no lights on my keyboard.Quote:

Press F1 to Enter setup.
Press F2 to load defaults and continue."
If I press F1, I can go into the BIOS and change any settings that I want, however if I save and exit then the board resets...but I get the black screen again.
If I press F2, then the board will continue on and load up windows. At this point, windows seems to run fine. I ran memtest all night long with 8gig G.Skill 4x2 ddr2 1000 sticks with no errors. However, if I try to restart windows...then I get no POST again.
So basically, the only way I can get the board to post is to clear the CMOS. And its only good for one post...as anytime I try to restart, no POST again.
I'll have to check my BIOS settings...but I'm pretty sure they are all set to 'Auto' or whatever the default value is.
Once I got into windows, I was able to flash the BIOS to the latest 0704 using the Asus Update tool. However...I get the same results with 0704 as I did with the original BIOS that came on the board.
I haven't popped the battery out yet, will try that when I get home tonight from work.
Any ideas what could be wrong??
My hardware is as follows:
Mobo: Asus P5Q-Dlx
CPU: Q6700
RAM: G.skill DDR2 1000 4x2 gig (also tried some OCZ with the same results)
Video: MSI 8800GTS (g92)
Hard Drive: WD 75gig raptor
DVD-rom: TDK dvd-rw

PSU: PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750W
Keyboard/Mouse: Logitech USB keyboard/Logitech MX518 mouse

shevfa, with 0704 bios ?
Im sure 0704,but I can be wrong.I found very similar actions with 0704,0702 is better :)Quote:

But since flashing to the 0704 BIOS on the ASUS website I haven't had any of those issues at all.
I'm on 0704 and I haven't had any CMOS clearing or resetting issues - despite several failed overclocks (or successful ones with constant changes).
Yes....Quote:

I remember asking you to run HCI with your 8 GB, which you did, with 4x 1000 MB, since you said that Windows wouldn't let you allocate more per instance.
Here's the :banana::banana::banana::banana:ed up thing.
When i run 4x 1400 MB HCI Memtest, it will fail @ DDR2-1050 5-5-5-15, PL 10, tRFC 60, & every single subtiming manually loosened by a couple numbers.
But then i remember your screenshot with only 4 GB being stressed.
I run 4x 1000 MB, & it makes it past 100%.
Then i try DDR2-1080 5-5-5-15, & it makes it past 100%.
The thing that annoys me about this is that it almost seems that if you stress only 4 GB of you 8 GB, suddenly for me, i'm getting "stable" results where when i stress 5600 MB of 8 GB, it's not stable.
jVIDEA, exactly what config of HCI Memtest are you running?
How many instances, & set to how much RAM?
I'm starting to wonder just how "stable" people's HCI Memtest results are if they're only stressing half the RAM.
From what i've seen in my own testing, it was basically impossible to get 8 GB stable in HCI on my DFI.
It seems the same issue on my P5Q except that now i've discovered cheating & only stressing 4 GBs worth "passes".
I'll post screenshots, & the template after work, but i expect that what i ran P95 Blend for all night "stable" 7 hrs. is going to fail sometime during the day in 4x 1400 MB of HCI.
where ? :DQuote:

I don't think it is any different. I think it's just a quirk of the board.
So are you having trouble getting 8gig of ram stable only when overclocked?? Or even at stock/default speeds??Quote:

So 8 gig should be doable...unless you are talking about overclocked memory, in which case I haven't tried that yet...
I'm running 4x2 g.skill ddr2 1000 sticks btw.
Thank you very much, 8x500 stable now.Quote:

I'm just posting this as to me not one program can give you 100% accurate facts if it's stable or not... always use a mix and 24/7 folding action, gaming, downing , dvd encoding without a hickup is stable enough for me...
Hope you will find the solution

Is there a single thread for the normal P5Q( not deluxe etc. ...) mobos ?
yep... lowest Voltage is same as auto, but i told this a few days ago :)
but the other voltages, this is from board to board different. my board undervolt
@ vFSB, vNB, vDimm ~0.02v, only vPLL overvolts 0.01v :)
Is there any reading points for the SBridge Voltage and PCIE SATA Voltage ?

A little time consuming on the board , i find the chipset very sensitive to voltages and temperatures, but finally i have make some progress :D
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=380144
http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t...py123/woow.jpg
whats the difference between the P5Q-E and the P5Q-Pro, except the heatsinks?, Is the bios of the P5Q-Pro the same as the E and the Deluxe, or there are some BIOS feathures missing in one of these over the others?
The P5Q-Pro has nothing to do with P5Q-E / Deluxe.
This coldbug is mobo related because I have tried the cpu on a other board on dice and that works fine.

Now, i have some issues (and no, i'm not gonna go through almost 40 pages to look for answers) First of all, i have some vdrops at about 0.2V. I set my bios to 1.375, but it's at 1.36 idle, and drops to about 1.35 at load.
Another thing is, i can't seem to get EIST to stop working, and it just continues to drop my multiplier to 6x when ever the system is idle.

I managed to boot the system up at 4 Ghz, but it wasn't even close to stable, although i was able to SuperPi the sucker, and got a good 12.184 sec run on 1M.

What speed is the CPU at?Quote:

Any chance of getting the Auto readings at 9x266 and 8x333?
The readings at the 65mn and 45nm stock speeds would give us a better idea of the overvolting.
And my recommendations not to use Auto settings are proving to be right.
So I'm still having my no-post problems. I tried removing the psu cord and letting it sit for 10 minutes, same thing. I tried removing the battery for 5 minutes, same thing.
I did call Asus tech support and I have to comment about how impressed I was with them. I got a live person immediately. She got my general information and the basic problem I was having and setup my case number. Then she transferred me immediately to level2 tech support. A guy named Chris immediately picked up the phone and needless to say he was excellent to work with. He actually knew what he was talking about and didn't make me run through the typical, mind-numbing troubleshooting process...he just cut right to the problem.
He even had a few good suggestions that I hadn't thought of trying. He suggested I try to boot the board up with NO memory installed to see if I get the beep sequence related to memory. If I still get the blank no-post screen even with no memory installed then the board is hanging before even detecting memory and we can pretty much eliminate the memory as the problem and at that point it is almost definitely a problematic board.
He also suggested I could have a dead/defective battery. But I had previously tested the battery after pulling it out of the board last night and the voltage was about ~3.15v. He said that is slightly high for the batteries and typically they are around 2.8-2.9v. So I'm also going to try and switch the battery with another one from another board and see if that helps. He said he had some some weird bios issues with boards because of batteries. I'm guessing this isn't the problem, but can't hurt to try.
Anyways, I hadn't thought of trying to post with no memory installed to try and get an idea of where the board is hanging...so that was an excellent suggestion. These boards need the LED numbers to give a better status indication. The beep method is a bit primitive and limited...
Anyways...just wanted to chime in and say that I was impressed with Asus tech support so far. And for the one or two others that have the same issue...you might want to try the no memory installed post test to see where the mobo is hanging.
I'll report back later tonight after work if either of the two things work.

Anything over the lowest setting looks ok if you ask me. We've always known that the vDIMM was a good 0.08-0.1v higher. 0.01v and 0.03v on the FSB and PLL is nothing to worry about, neither is 0.05v on the NB.
Did you find any information of whether or not there is a pencil vDroop mod for this board?Quote:

Hi,
No idea for my problem ?
Thanks for your answers.Quote:
I'm search how to enable AHCI on marvell eSATA 88SE6121 in the Bios of my P5Q Deluxe.
eSATA support HotPlug in AHCI,
Under windows if I turn on my external HDD, it does not appear on the desktop.
It is visible that if I reboot with the HDD External lights (XP or Vista).
Previously I had a P5K Premium, with an option in the BIOS to activate the controller (a JMicron) to AHCI.
But on P5Q Deluxe I did not find any option !
The Marvell 88SE6121 does not support AHCI ???
Well got the new mushkin kits yesterday, and all my OC problems are gone. Stupid Corsair DHX sticks are on their way back to newegg. Anyone know if this board overvolts that much with a 45nm CPU? Because I thought if a 45nm CPU took 1.53 vFSB it could die...no? And if the board is pushing 1.53V at the 1.2V setting thats really bad...
Never use AUTO for voltages mate they are rather on the high side, a normal E8400 does 3.6Ghz at around 1.2Vcore levels... also with 45Nm CPU's don't set too high CPU PLL, FSB Term Voltage... try my settings below and report back to me if they work out, if ya want more don't hesitate to Pm me...Quote:

I updated to it but it seems to be identical with the beta 702 BIOS everyone is already using (for me at least). Can anyone else confirm performance changes or any stability issues with 704 official?
Yeah...I was having doubts with my Antec TrueControl PSU from my other mobo problems. It only has a single 12V rail and only 24 amps...Quote:

I need to update my sig with the new PSU, I'll do that now.
I haven't messed with the Nb voltage at all. In fact, everything is default/auto. The only voltage I have messed with the vdimm which I've tried 1.9 and 2.0...
With the slightly weird results we've seen reported with voltages set to AUTO, maybe I should try to manually set most of my voltages. What should all the voltages be set at to run stock speeds with a Q6700??
First what happens with 2 dimms ( so 4gb in total ) can you get it to post then each time ? Which bios are you on ?Quote:

I have tried almost all combinations of 1, 2 and 4 dimms installed. I have tried 2 dimms in both slot combinations and a single dimm in any of the 4 slots available. No change.Quote:

However...after reading that any windows based bios updating tool can cause issues, I then flashed again using the EZ Flash tool from within BIOS, same result.
Just to recap the issue so there isn't any confusion:
1. Immediately after clearing CMOS, the board will POST and take me to a screen that basically says:
"Please enter SETUP to recover BIOS settings.
Press F1 to enter SETUP
Press F2 to load defaults and continue"
2. If I press F1, I can get into the BIOS (hence how I used the EZ Flash tool), but once I save and exit...no POST.
3. If I press F2, the pc will continue to load windows and the computer seems to function great (7 instances of memtest, 0 errors, overnight). Once I reboot/restart the pc, no POST.
Thanks for the voltage settings...I'll try those and see if it makes any difference tonight!
Still looking. It seems people are content with either no vdroop using LLC or a huge vdroop w/ LLC disabled, no middle ground yet.Quote:

I don't know if this question has come up already, but has anyone had unusually high tempuratures for motherboard? I am getting numbers between 35-40+ when it has been running for a few minutes. The last few motherboards I have had (all Asus) have only been around 30 and my ambient tempurature is around 22-23.

I just got the P5Q Deluxe and a Q6600 L807A. Will report later on how it went. is this batch any good?
Well,any news on new bios for P5q-deluxe?So far i have only reached 595 for validation,tried all the voltages,a bad thing is that at 1.48 and more the board is very flacky....
1.48 Vcore or NB ? maybe ya ram is holding ya back, cpu , mobo , bios tweaks ? 600FSB is a no brainer with good components... I can do it on 0604 too, no need for 0702 nor 0704... Can you fill in the template ?
http://users.pandora.be/OAP/P5QDlx/P5Q%20Dlx.rtf
Nb 1.48.I have Crucial ballistix double sided 16FD5 so memory is truly not a problem....
Some interesting things I found with the no-post issue.
1. Talked to Asus tech support again last and they basically said my board must be bad.
2. I tried replacing battery...same problem.
3. I took out all memory and board gives correct signature beep sequence for problems detecting memory...So the board is getting past the memory detection.
4. Was about ready to give up on board...but decided to unplug my dvd burner from the PATA IDE port. Tried to boot...and saw something different than I ever have before. The Express Gate screen came up!! I had never seen this screen come up before...and it was functional. I could go into express gate and everything worked. I could also get into the BIOS and change settings. I then tried to save and exit and the board posted again...I went into express gate a couple of times and it appeared things were working fairly normal. Then one of the times when I went to exit the express gate and continue posting/booting...the POST screen froze where it has the black and white screen with the Intel Logo on the bottom right.
So this got me semi-excited to actually see some different behaviour. So I unplugged my WD raptor and started getting random stuff. Sometimes express gate would work, othertimes not, sometimes no POST with blank black screen, sometimes POST would freeze on the B&W Intel logo screen. I tried plugging my raptor in and out on different ports...after a few minutes of playing around, my board started freezing on the B&W Intel logo screen consistently every time.
So that is basically all the testing I've done. For now...I get a freeze on the B&W Intel logo screen everytime...
Then I read [H]'s review and their problem they had with Raptor drives. I also saw than the previous version Asus board (P5K??) had problems with Raptor drives (and other sata drives).
So from the [H] review and my experience with playing around with my raptor...maybe the P5Q series still has issues with Raptors?? I need to play some more tonight, hopefully I can get some kind of other behavior besides the B&W Intel logo screen freeze.
Anyone else using WD Raptor with their P5Q-Dlx...
I have the older 74gig version...

any suggestions or go DDR3 since those seem to clock fine??

Hey whats up guys? I'm new here and just got around to overclocking my board finally! Here's what I got:

So far this setup is Prime stable for an hour, will run it longer tonight. I can't really go higher on the FSB because my ram has very bad compatibility with this board, it will barely clock over 1066mhz without failing memory stress testing. On my old BFG 680i SLI board this ram would get over 1150mhz stable! I could even set it to 4-4-4-12 if i left it at 1066mhz and put the voltage to 2.15v, not on this board though! All my overclocking is done using BIOS 0704.
Glad you are onto something... in fact how many HD's do you have in your rig ? did you try posting with all of them unhooked ? just bare mobo, cpu ram and gfx card ?Quote:
