I used some of your subtimings from your previous post, copied off your on-screen memset... one of my hyperpi threads gave me 'not exact in round' even with moderate juice to the key components. Wouldn't even post at 1.25 VCore... Anyway, if you would like a more accurate comparison, we can try to make test conditions more uniform, I'm interested, and I've been eying that board of yours for a while, even though it has no WI-FI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Everyone.
I am trying desperately to get this board stable. I have just built a new pc using the asus P5Q3 Deluxe wifi board and Corsair TW3X4G1333C9DHX (2x2gb sticks). I am trying to install Vista 64bit and have had loads of problems.
I initially used bios 1201 which was a nightmare. I then used 1609 and played around with it using advice on this thread and now I have 1702.
with the original bios it was crashing big style. At that point I set the DRAM frequency to DDR3-1333 and the timings to 9-9-9-24. I set the DRAM voltage to 1.6 then 1.7v
I have read through this forum and tried the things mentioned but I cannot stop my pc from rebooting.
once the bios's were updated I got vista on, when I put 1702 on I left everything on auto as I was getting nowhere changing the different timings etc. Now I am getting reboots within the os.
I was just wondering what the best setting are for the 1702 BIOS for this corsair memory. I am not interested in OC'ing yet I just want it stable!
any help would be greatly appreciated as I am going nuts!!
Are you on stock NB voltage ? If so, up that a little, as my review sample was also unstable at stock NB.Quote:

I am on stock voltage. when you say up it a little, is that by one increment in the bios? by far running on auto with BIOS 1702 is the most stable, by that I mean it is still crashing intermittently, whereas if I tinker on by setting teh DRAM to its correct DDR3-1333 and timings of 9-9-9-24 and dram voltage of 1.6v or 1.7v I am lucky to get into the OS at all. I am not really an overclocker but undterstand memory timings, I am just pretty clueless as to how set up this motherboard to make it stable.
I have noticed something else too. when set to auto the ram is picked up as DDR3-1066. It is defintely not, unless it was badged wrongly at corsair. Here is a pic of my pc with everything set to auto....
http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/r...sond/Stock.jpg
but when I change it to DDR3-1333, 9-9-9-24 with 1.6v. Memset is telling me the memory is being overclocked by 25%. Of course this could be normal as I am not sure on what it should be. Just want it to stop crashing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I tried to get another screen shot with these settings but it crashes everytime I try capture the screen (or even before)
I finally managed to get a screen shot with the the folowing changes:
DRAM Frequency: DDR3-1333
timings 9-9-9-24
dram voltage: 1.7v
I tinkered around with the nb voltage, 1.1, 1.12, 1.18, 1.2 and didn't make any difference.
[IMG]http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/r...nd/Capture.jpg[/IMG]
You're on a quad core, so I would increase the NB voltage a little more still, up to 1.3V, even 1.4V. Your ram shouldn't be the problem at 1.7V, but I'd try to get some stability first at 1066Mhz, to rule everything out. The "spd" settings of your ram are 1066Mhz at JEDEC specs, i.e. 1.5V, that's why it is picked up like that when you're on auto settings. No need to worry about that.Quote:

thanks
Disable Static Read control, that should help too, maybe clock twister to Light
The Jedec specs help your system to boot with the ram and everything at auto eg my PC12800 kit has got Jedec PC10700 9-9-9-24 1.5V while they are foreseen to run at PC12800 8-8-8-24 1.9v... this is why you need to set ram voltage and timings yaself... it allows you to boot but with some combinations that's just how far it goes and manual intervention is needed...
Yeah, those things boot at 1066 because DDR3 memory is designed to boot at 1.5v and those are your 1.5v setting. This helps ensure that memory sticks will work on any motherboard. I had the same issue with my OCZ DDR3 1800, they booted at 1333 @ 6-6-6-18 1T timings. Once I got them to 1.9v 1800 @ 8-8-8-24 2T all was fine.Quote:

That should do it if it's the memory, and not the GTL bus acting up. I am using a Q9550 E0 myself...
AUTO tells 5 in the bios but it's not 5 at all, not even with the DDR2's noone can run pl 5 on the P5Q Dlx
Indeed, I believe base is PL7 on stock settings if I recall correctly, but I don't own the board any more...Quote:

Do you read that out in MemSet in windows or do you read the 5 in the bios PL ? my least FSB was 400FSB and lowest there was 7 depending on divider/strap selected..
In the BIOS itself. I cannot boot my system with automatic defaults at all, despite using 4x1 GB Corsair DDR3-1600 DHX CL9 modules. So the memset value I am setting manually will always be the same in the BIOS and Memset as soon as I set one manually.Quote:

About the same as my DDR2-800 RAM on my previous maximus formula board, so I am not very surprised.
Tried 1702 and the default values will make the system unstable, Vista won't even boot , but with 1702 I am now on 1800Mhz with PL7 8-8-8-20 Strong tweaking everything else is default, and the system is stable , I am using C2Q9550 with 2X2gb G.Skill PI 1600 .
Hello!
I also have this board P5Q3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP.
I'm trying to get it stable at 1600MHz FSB with OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum Enhanced Bandwidth Edition with timings 7-7-6-24.
Everything is on auto/ default except DRAM frequency, whish is set to 1600MHz and this auto overclocks the FSB on the CPU (Q9450) to 1600MHz.
With timings 7-7-6-24 it freezes randomly, can work great for hours and sometimes even days but eventually it freezes.
I have tried raising the CPU voltage to 1.35 and it still the same thing.
About the NorthBridge voltage I have tried 1.2V at most and that didn't help either, and now both are on Auto
Do I dare to go any higher with the NB and CPU voltage?
Anyone else with the same hardware?
When timings are set on Auto everything is working.
Auto is 9-9-9-24
BIOS 1702
Also, I have removed the old RAM coolers and added Thermalright HR-07 Duo
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit:
I figured it out, I think
My final set is
CPU Ratio 8.0 (Q9450 with Thermalright Ultra 120)
DRAM frequency 1600MHz with 7-7-6-24 timings and 1.9V (As it should be)
NB and SB to 1.3V
Everything else is on Auto.
Good enough for now, I'll read more about overclocking P45 when I get more free time.
My main goal was to get the right memory speed and timings along with 1600MHz FSB.
try NB 1.4, SB 1.3, Dram 1.92/94, try loosen ram timings ... Good Luck ... read previous posts in here it helps alot
As I edited before you replied, you maybe didn't see it.
My goal was the memory speed and the right timings.
It's working now, and Everest stability test gives no errors, the CPU temp never goes over 42 Celsius.
Good enough for me.
About SB, I had it on 1.20V.
No need set DRAM over 1.9 since it's working and not recommended over 1.9V
Edit:
Changed NB and SB to 1.3V
I have a friend with this board and he can´t reflash it with older bios. He is using the 1702 and wants to go back to 1406. He tried afudos and ezflash with no success.
Any trick?
You can either use an engineering version of AFUDOS and use certain commandline switches in DOS....
To find that, check out the Maximus Formula to Rampage crossflashing thread, or:
Flash the board again with the 1702 in the BIOS , and as the board erases the first portion of the BIOS ROM, turn the power off.
WARNING. This corrupts the BIOS and enforces an emergency flash mode.
You MUST have a bootable media ready then with the 1403 BIOS on it and it has to have a certain filename to be recognized. You can for example put one on a USB memory stick or a flash card in a flash reader.
The emergency flasher accepts floppies, CD or DVD media, and flash media.
Floppies are totally useless, the BIOS is 2 MB big and doesn't fit on a 1.44 MB HD floppy.
DVDs or CDs never worked for me except for the DVD that came with the board.
What worked for me before was a USB memory stick and a SD card holding the image file, using a MP3 player as cardreader.
Be extremely careful when doing anything that involves intentional corruption of the BIOS. It will render your system unusable for example if you don't have a flashable BIOS image at hand, OR if the BIOS image you want to use is TOO OLD to support your currently installed processor! (Been there, had the issue, back on my Maximus Formula when I upgraded to a Q9300! good that I still had my e6600 lying around!)
I'm crossing fingers tho.
Hi Guys,
Back after a while. I've got a matched pair of 2GB ram now (TW3X4G1333C9DHX) for this motherboard, and still not happy.
Here is what I've done so far.
Individually, the modules go through 16-25 passes of memtest without errors.
I've installed vista with only one module, and tested it with prime95 quad core edition, it went on for 7 hours without any problems.
Now, here is the strange part. The module with which I installed vista, was placed in the orange slot closest to the cpu.
Both modules are a matched pair, and identical right ? (the stickers also show they have the same rev yadda yadda).
Now, here is the wierd part - I remove the first module, put the second module in its' place, boot vista - here is what happens:
1. I get a blue screen of death, and the screen goes away very quickly, so fast that I can't read anything, and the pc reboots.
2. Sometimes its so fast that I don't even get a bsod - it just reboots.
3. At other times it just freezes.
Remove this module, put the first module back in, vista boots, no problems. Is there a problem with the 2nd ram module??? Despite passing *£$(*£!! memtest????
Here are my settings when testing individual modules (I don't even want to talk about using them together in vista - I've got a very strange problem on my hands).

I think your 2nd dimm has got an issue mate. I don't trust memset anymore, I have had several issues till now with DDR3 ram and 2Gb dimms... passing flying colours in memtest ( test 5 and 7 stressed ) yet giving errors, freezes in HCI memtest or OCCT ram...
Yep, defo issues with the second module - had to bump up the memory voltage to 1.7 and NB voltage to 1.20 so that vista can boot with it. Then started torture test again with prime95 - went away to take a nap, came back and saw the login screen to vista. Logged in, saw a message 'you got an error, please submit to ms' etc etc - description showed it was a bsod.
How can one dimm work with default voltage e.g 1.60, while the other doesn't even boot? And still doesn't work when the memory voltage is upped . Now trying it with 1.80 memory voltage and 1.35 NB voltage. Lets see - Not much hope, but I think I'm gonna rma it. Been driving me crazy for the last 3 months.
EDIT: LOL - tried settings above and prime95 just gave up on me with hardware faliure message - wtf :(
Someone on the corsair forums telling me I don't have a leg to stand on when it comes to warranty since memtest is running fine for both modules :mad:

What should I do?
Hi,
I have P5Q3 Deluxe with OCZ3P16004GK memory (2x2GB).
I am struggling to get it stable for several month already and it looks stable but then again it freezes and BSODs every several days or so.
I am pretty tired of it and want to replace the memory, here I need your advise. What 1600Mhz memory should I buy that will work without any special bios setting/tweaking ?
I have Q9540 CPU if it matters and I want to have 4Gb of RAM. It can be 2x2GB or 4x1Gb ....
Thanks in advance.
I've reached the end of the road with this setup. Was fun while it lasted...time to move on. Check my sig.

(Originally posted on the 45 GTL setting thread, might be interesting here for ex. for turbatos)
Hello,
after having wondered about if I can manage to run my Q9550 E0 and the P45 NB at the stock GTL values after all after such a long time (Bought my CPU in October), I tried out what powellandy did, also after having read something along the lines from mikeyakame.
And, I was successful. I just felt that a narrow range of 0.66-0.69x for stability on all GTLs was not looking like the system felt overly well. Here are my results, old first:
Mainboard: ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe Wifi@n
FSB Clock: 450 MHz (x8.5=3825)
CPU VCore: 1.275V
DDR3 RAM Clock: 1350MHz (4x1 GB Corsair 1600 modules)
NB Volt: 1.4V-1.44V
FSB Term Volt: 1.36V
CPU GTL Ref (0/2): 0.66x-0.69x, using 0.68x
CPU GTL Ref (1/3): 0.66x-0.69x, using 0.68x
NB GTL Ref.: 0.66x-0.69x, using 0.68x
LLC: Enabled
CPU Clock Skew: AUTO
NB clock Sew: AUTO
New:

FSB Clock: 450 MHz (x8.5=3825)

NB Volt: 1.4V-1.44V
FSB Term Volt: 1.36V

LLC: Enabled
CPU Clock Skew: 500 ps delay
NB clock Sew: 400 ps delay
400/300 works, too, less than that tends to instability. Once again it shows that automatic settings aren't really good...
I am currently using 0.65/0.68 to not be on the razor's edge. These settings also take into account that ASUS is trying to keep the GTL references 0/2 and 1/3 apart...on top of this, the stable way higher GTL reference range indicates that this is a lot more of a stable setting than previously. However the previous settings without skews were tested 11 hours prime stable, too.
The best way of stabilizing a 45 nm quadcore above FSB430 appears to be to try and compensate with the clock skews first and leave GTL Ref. lines at defaults (not AUTO!), and then test the upper and lower limit of stable GTL settings. Then use a value that's in the middle, to be as far away from the limits as possible.
Translated into more analogue terms, this means the smaller the stable range of GTL references is, the closer the signal overshoot and undershoot are getting to the reference line. With it, the probability of one of them crossing the reference line increases drastically,and with it certainly the chance of having data corruption on the processor bus.
If you've got any questions or need my full Ai Tweaker settings, let me know.
I change my psu ( ETASIS 850W) and now i hit 1.28750 450x8.5.Now i have the dram 8-8-7-18 (DDR3 1800)with 1.94v trfc 60 and cl7.I
Turbatos, can you please post some CPUZ shots with Memset as well? I am only able to run my memory with a divider on this baord so my memory is running 1584Mhz @ 6-6-6-18-2T-60 but I am not able to run 1:1 with memory at 1800Mhz on my P5Q3 Deluxe. I have read many threads which Tony from OCZ states it is very hard to run memory on this board at 1:1 1600Mhz or higher. I have 4 sets of memory as follows:Quote:

Hi all !
I have been able to easily overclock my E8400 E0 CPU to 4,5GHz : the system is very very stable and works great!!
Only a little trouble with memories: I have Crucial Ballistix DDR3 memories with default clock of 1800MHz and 8-8-8-24 timings @ 1.9V. If I overclock them to 2GHz @ 8-8-8-24 (or even 9-9-9-28) @ 2V the system boots fine and pass all bench / torture tests, but after a period of normal use I have PC freeze... So I think it's a problem of voltages...
In fact, in BIOS ALL voltages, except vcore and vdimm, are set in [auto]. What other voltages do you suggest to modify? For example PLL, FSB Terminator Voltage, NB Voltage, SB Voltage,... all to be stable at 2GHz?
E8400 at 3.6 FSB 400
4GB Kingston DDR3 1600.
I have to install the RAM in slots 2 and 4 to get the system to boot at the RAM Specs of 1600.
What am I doing wrong?
Is that 100% stable now mate ? Looks good to me
Yes, for my use it is stable. However in a few days I will upgrade to Nehalem Core i7, so P45 and Penryn will go into the cupboard gathering dust :D
New Bios V2105

Anyone tried this New Bios V2105, and get better stability than before?
He folks,
If anybody has any suggestions ... please let me know.
I've got my system up and running at 3.8 ghz, i can throw about any benchmark / stresstest at it and it keeps running (though it starts throtteling after about 2 minutes in intel burnin test, but only just)
cooling is a scythe ninja copper with std fan, tried a 3000 rpm static pressure 133 cfm fan on it, still it starts throtteling at around the same time as with the standard fan.
Vcore = 1.30V
vNB = 1.6 (was running at 1.56 but it keeps freezing after some time, normally notice it when i come home from work.)

pll = 1.52V
p5q3 bios 2105
Have not played with GTL's yet ... tried once, but every setting resulted in a non-boot scenario ...
i've run actually better then this everyday freezing at 3.8 Ghz but then with 1.28 vcore ... thought i'd bump it up a notch looking at numbers from different users ... still, it didn't help me ... comp is still freezing every day ... the night it normally survives ... it's running seti + cuda after 60 minutes of idle time, seti at 75% because it then only reaches about 80C and i actually don't care about that that much ... realtemp's numbers i don't trust that much.
Any help would be appreciated ...
I got a pair of Gskill Rijaw but I can't get into windows with 2000Mhz setting,what I got is blue screen.Any experience ?
Hi everyone, I have been reading for hours trying to understand, there's a lot more to overclocking these newer systems compared with 8 years ago.
I've been running an E8600 stable for the last 10 months at 4.3Ghz on Air below 50c 1.3375Vcore but I'm keen to see if I can push a little more out of it with more than just raising the Vcore, any advice would be very appreciated. :)
I did initially try for higher but found beyond 4.3 that it started needing a lot more voltage, I was able to get it almost stable at 4.5 with somewhere around 1.45-1.5+vcore no sure exactly now, I thought it too high and wasn't game to add any more.
I don't know if I should try lowering the multiplier and raising the FSB higher or to just raise the FSB with default 10X multiplier, I only have 1333 ram so I've already had to lower the ram X one notch, I have had the ram stable at 1600Mhz with 1.9v and auto ram timings but didn't know if I was pushing it too hard, atm my FSB is doing 1720Mhz and the ram 1433mhz.
I'm cooling the CPU with a Coolermaster Hyper 212 and have the side of the case off, runs cool as.

Has anyone tried new DDR3 RAM (1.65V) sticks on this board in 8GB 1600MHz?
I have tried the newer DDR3s on my BlackOps and they never reached the values advertised. With that said, this board is [I have this one as well] very hard to find RAM for and the RAM I've bought for it never reached the actual values on it; the only RAM that ever got close to to the speed/timings was my 2x1GB CellShock 1866 and they are running at 1600Mhz 8-8-8-21.Quote:

The E8600 is a funny chip. Mine can reach 4.5Ghz on 1.33v [roughly], but if I try to push it to 4.6Ghz it requires around 1.4v; that is huge jump for a mere 100Mhz. If I was in your shoes, I would be content with the CPU speed, and would try to up the RAM speed. If you keep trying to push it higher, it will degrade faster with the more volts you run on it.Quote:

A completely new PC is the better choice.
The RAM I was thinking of is Corsair XMS3 DDR3 PC12800/1600MHz CL7 2x2GB (CMX4GX3M2A1600C7)
If someone has this RAM, Q9450 and ASUS P5Q3 config, please share info...
I own a set of the CAS8 version of that RAM. I can try to see if it runs at rated speed on that board. The chip currently on the board is a Q9450 [I believe, at least]. It will take a few days though, I gave that board/chip away, so it depends on my brother letting me try it out.Quote:

With 2 sticks I can run my OCZ in 1600MHz but never all 4 sticks.
The OCZ are 1.8-1.9V and I am curious if the lower voltage helps in any way with this P45 board.
I know that 1600MHz on 4 sticks is very hard, if not impossible...
I read somewhere before that P45 boards have a different memory controller/ architecture than previous boards, more similar to socket 1156 or maybe it was socket 1366, don't really remember.
So it's interesting to find out if it can somehow work...

turbatos, thanks!
You are only using 4GB?
Yes only 4GB (From MEMORYC.COM)

Someone help me for 500x6 or 500x8 settings with my q9550 1.25vid

Did you any difference from 4Gb to 16GB? in Windows or Games.
