and how do i fix it ?? maybe thats why my pc is booting on games !
My P5B Deluxe seems to be under-volting the CPU. I set it to 1.3v in BIOS and AI Suite and CPU-Z show the CPU at 1.248v. Is this normal?
Good news, when I initially set the voltage to like 1.250v in BIOS, I'm 100% stable with Windows showing 1.240 @ 3.0GHZ.
Working fine now.Quote:

Did you RMA it to Asus ? Been too long to send it back to where I got it from. Just hope it keeps working ;) Don't want to not have computer over Christmas break.
Thanks!
well...I'm almost sure that is my PSU that is not holding things here.
I reduced my over all the way back to 3 ghz and now i can play again..
next month i'll by a 700 watts psu and try to raise that over again
i should have RMA'ed to asus. I RMA'ed to buy.com where i bought it for. their RMA process sucks. 2+ weeks.
Buy a good brand tho, like Antec, Hiper, Silverstone e.t.c. not thermalcake. You could also try a bit more VCore maybe but if orthos 2004 can run for a few hours it wouldnt be the CPU clock at all.Quote:

i'll buy another psu, thats for sure.

I googled it and found it on some web site links. "p5b 0903 bios"Quote:

I'm taking it that everyone sees that much droop? Hell even at idle I need 1.5 BIOS to get 1.39v - I didnt realize what a problem this was until I played with the DS3 though.
I took the heat sinks off the NB and it was barely making contact. I replaced it with an aftermarket chipset cooler, but I would recommend everyone inspect and at least re-TIM and Re-set theirs. May not change your o/c much but it's probably worth doing anyway.
That seems to be the norm for the P5B Deluxe.Quote:

Shame I have to consider mods to get anywhere.

I think that’s the problem across all P5B's from what I have seen.
I tied the DS3 myself and had the exact same experience.
Not a bat overclocker it just wasn’t usable for me.
Hi, can somebody help me, I have 2GB Geil but I have too much problems with them and I want to change tham. I am thinking about G.Skil, maybe about this http://www.jscomputers.cz/G_Skill_20...pId-22232.html Have this G.skill somebody and can you tell me how much I can reach with this g.skil?? thx
I think Im also having the PCI-E 1x trouble, I haven't ever see it say 1x in cpuz but yesterday I went to run 3DMark06 and Aquamark3 all at my normal OC'ed clocks, was getting 5fps in 3D06 whereas I usually 43, and god knows how many in AM3.
BTW, anyone who Runs AM3 do they get problems with the Large Scale Vegetation scene?
I usually get 60-180fps but ATM im getting around 20!

Thx man, can you or somebody send me some bios settings for this ram ? I want to be preper, they arrive in two days :slobber:Quote:

pci=33.33
vcore=1.33v
vmem=2.3
fsb term=1.3
nb vcore=1.25v
sb vcore=1.5
ich chip voltage=auto
my board has a 0.03volt drop,if it set it to 1.33v i get 1.3,if i set it to 1.5 i get 1.47v.
it still does the double boot but only if i go from about 480fsb to 500+fsb.
I ve been telling this for a few times in this thread. You can fix this by setting the voltages MANUALLY.Quote:

That is because i let the spd choose the timings.
Playing with the voltages on the P5B-e, I came up with some interesting findings.

Notes of interest here are that 1.375v in the bios provides more real voltage than 1.4v - 1.425v. So like the FSB settings there are preferred bus speeds it looks like the same thing holds true with the voltages. Choosing 1.4v will give you less than 1.375v.
I will complete more testing and try to include voltages in CPUZ during idle and load if I have time tonight. Hopefully this helps someone other than just me! :)
Did you check the voltage with a dmm?
If so, do you know where I can find where the points of contact are to check the vcore?

So what this essentially means, I havent tested it with a meter, however the levels on the P5B-E truely need to be ridiculously high to hit the same volts you would actually get on another board. Its not scientific and for all I know the reading from both boards could be way off from what is actually getting to the CPU - but the point was to match the overclocks...
DS3 1.4 BIOS volts gives me the same volts / overclock with orthos stability / speeds that I need 1.5v on the Asus to reach - however the true voltage is the same.
