Hi evreyone,
I'm new here need some advise, yesterday assembled system based on P5B + celeron 2.5 Ghz, ddr2 677
I have 2 concirns about it, first tempretue, what is standard one, none O/C with boxed heat sink and fun to be expected?
second before I was using athlonXP 1.533 Ghz on asus a7v33, I don't see much of performance boost, I understend that celeron 2.5 Ghz suck but still shouldn't it outperform athlonXP 1.533 noticeably ?

hmm, after testing my rig for 2 days for overclock stability I finally decided to accept it and installed windows xp again. I forgot the first time to activate "raid" on my matrix controller and also didn't do the f6 thingy during installation.
Because I've lost my original windows xp pro versions, I've downloaded a "revelation" release from the internet.
I did the f6 thing and selected the right driver from the floppy disk. After selecting the partition, it started installing but stopped almost inmidiately after that.
There was a problem with the fila iastor.sys and setup couldn't continue.
After doing some research on the web, I found nothing, only vage answers.
Finally I downloaded another release from the internet and it worked without any problem.
Got my P5b DX up and running.
At first with the shipping BIOS idle temps were 37c. Now after flashing to 711 BIOS I am at 38C-39C. I removed the BT cooler and found 100% contact with the CPU cap.
What are idle temps on this rig? I don't recall reading the temps are so high.
My Pw5 idled at 31 or so and the ABIT AW9 Max idled at 28C. This 38C idle is crazy. :confused:
Also I flashed to 711 using EZ Flash and a floppy with the file on it. After flashing a screen came up stating the rig would restart in 5 seconds. Well, it sat still for minutes so I tried to restart with reset - no go. Then I unplugged the rig cleared cmos and got it up again. :( Strange occurance for sure.
Finally I thought the double start was eliminated in the 711 BIOS. First when I do a cold boot the fans start, time passes then it shut down and starts again. :mad: Also after setting BIOS and saving it double pumps. I dumped the Pw5 because of this, now with 711 the P5b is still doing the same thing?
Comments appreciated.
EDIT: Well I don't know why but the double start issue disappeared. Very strange- but I will take it. Now if I can sort out the high idle temps. :confused:

hmm, with bios 0711 on my p5b-dlx and e6400 + corsair twin2x-2048-6400c5 mem, the startupscreen (post) is showing pc2-4300 dual channel interleaved.
When I look in windows at cpu-z i can't see any problems.
memspeed 1:1
core speed 3208
busspeed 401
rated fsb 1604
memspeed 1:1 = DDR533 ratio = PC4300
the post message is just showing you the ratio being used.
new review of p5b-deluxe : http://www.motherboards.org/reviews/...ds/1663_1.html
what voltages are you using in the bios for Vcore, Vfsb, Vmch and southbridge?

The nearest CPU to a 2.5Ghz celeon on there is the Pentium D 805 or the Pentium 4 520 except the celeron is even slower.Quote:

OK I had a problem since buying the P5B Deluxe. When I use a XP + SP1 install and then later install SP2 it creates conflicts on the PCI express bus and I loose the Jmicron controller (Which controlls the only IDE port) and I also loose one of my Gigabit LAN's. (The PCIE one of course)
As soon as I uninstall SP2 everything is back to normal. Today I will try a Fresh install with XP + SP2 to see if that works fine.
If that is the case I think it may be added to 1st post problems as it took me days to figure out and no one on XS have had this problem before, well no one could help me solve it.
I think I saw someone with similar problems somewhere...Just get a version of XP with SP2 already slipstreamed or use Nlite to make your own.
Where can I find the PSU output recommendations for this board?
I am using a Seventeam ST-700EAD with +5V: 30A; +3.3V: 25A; +12V1: 16A; +12V2: 16A; +12V3: 16A; +12V4: 16A; -12V: 0.8A; +5VSB: 3A.
Is it good enough?
Your joking yea?Quote:

I got a XP disc with SP2 and now the system bluescreen on me rigth before stage where you select xp installation folder. I tested the disc on another system, works 100%Quote:

Only way it works ok is XP+SP1, thats it.
All thats left is to RMA now. Get another mobo.
Last annoying thing is the fact that I cant seem to get the AHCI detection to take less than about 1 minute which is unacceptable and it seems on RAID mode it has to be that way.
well guys....after dicking with this board all weekend again, I RMA'd it....:(
MOTHER F^#$*&&!!! :mad:
good thing I saved my BIOS settings on a napkin before it went loco.
moral of the day kids: NEVER EVER go full out on NB core voltage!!!! stick with 1.6 if you can!
I popped in a 6400 Saturday afternoon and was messing with it 450mhz...no problem. Popped in some Corsair DDR800 and couldn't get back up and over 400...cursed the corsair and popped my Geils back in and now the same thing. Can't run 1:1 beyond 400 nor can I use a divider to get the memory there. This board has a mind of it's own...
My board is going back to Scan tomorrow. Just had RMA confirmed and it's beign picked up from my work.... What a bugger :( - Just hope I get one as good and as solid as the old one.
Hheeh...Quote:

If it's within the time limit from where you purchased to replace the defective equipment, then, act really stupid and see if you can get a replacement board.
Good luck!
This board is very picky. Anytime you change bios settings or sometimes software, this will happen, take the extra time and do a software reboot versus just hitting the switch.Quote:

You may want to flash back and then flash forward again with another version of the 711 bios.

any word of a change log for the 0801 bios?
Anyone know what could be causing my low oc?
System
p5b-d-wifi

gskill 2x1gb LA ddr2-667 4-4-4-12
OCZ modstream 520
watercooled
same results with 711 and 507 bios
I am currently 24/7 stable @
345FSB 1.38v =2.76ghz
345MHZ 1:1 3-4-4-10-30 2.15v
100mhz and 33.3mhz hard set on all tests.
all other volts Auto
I cannot seem to get stable at 350mhz or higher. I am aware of the strap issues and cannot get 401-435fsb either. At first I thought it was the ram since its not the greatest. So i tryed.....
345FSB 1.38v =2.76ghz
431MHZ 5-5-5-15-42 (i think its 4:5 i cant remmeber) 2.25v
This was toally fine. The only thing i changed was the timings and the ratio.
Since it was totally fine i tryed using the 1:1 ratio with the same timings and a 431FSB. The ram should not be affecting my OC now since it was stable @ 431 like i mentioned above. of course i got no boot. I was planning on this out come and figured i would need to crank up the vcore a little to get it stable. I tryed a vcore all the way up to 1.6. Around 1.525v i was finnaly able to get a windows splash screen. @ 1.6v it was still totaly unstable. Every type of Orthos test fails in 1-2seconds. I dropped it down to 405fsb thinking my OC might be pushing the chip. I was still not happy and figured it was time to rule out any other voltages. I cranked up the other voltages to max and left the vcore at 1.6v. Still not stable in orthos for more than 10 seconds.
I then thought hmmm, lets drop the multi and see what fun i can have. Since I knew the ram could run 431mhz thats the fsb i used. However i dropped the multi to 7x putting me @ 3017mhz. using 1.60 and everything else maxed it would still not stay stable more than 10 seconds. (i did try auto and lower volts first) I also had 3x 130cfm deltas maxed out for the max volt settings to avoid over heating. CPU temp in the tests above reached 51c in asus probe once @ 1.6v.
Any ideas?

So basically does anyone have the exact settings for 3.4 ghz and for 3.6 Ghz
CPU freq ??
vcore voltage ??

I don't have a answer for you but I can't get over 3.4 either and only to 3.4 with a multiplier of 8 and 425 bus. If I try 378 @ 9x I get a blue screen after X amount of time, where X could be 3 minute or 3 hours or longer, it is totally random. If I use 425 @ 8x it seems to be stable but anythiing higher is a NO GO. Orthos or dual Prime hangs on core 1 but core 0 keeps on running when set to anything over 425 @ 8x and anything over 374 @ 9x. I think there are some really good CPU's, some run of the mill CPU's and a few really bad CPU's. I'm thinking I have a run of the mill one.
As far as voltages I have the CPU @ 1.4375, Mem at 2.25 (It is rated at 1.9 and I have had it up to 2.35), NB @ 1.25 FSB T V 1.3, SB Auto and ICH Auto.
No matter what voltages I set I can't get over the 3.37GHz @ 9x or 3.4x @ 8x.
Expect to go between 1.55 and 1.60 on the vcore...Takes 1.587v on my Infinity to hit 3.70. About 1.562v for 3.60. Every mobo/cpu combo is gonna be a little different so you're just gonna have to experiment.Quote:
Originally Posted by tommy-armour

Then what should the DRAM Freq be?
And how about the memory voltage?
Well if you want 3.4 then it's 378x9. 388 would give you 3492.
All the voltages depend on your particular system. Some can get 3.6 (400x9) with voltages just above stock. Others like me can not get there at all with the voltages I care to use. I'm not big on running my E6600 at 1.5 or higher volts and I sure don't want to run the memory at anything higher then the 2.25 I now have it at.
EDIT
Well I said the heck with it and jumped the volts up to 1.525 CPU, 2.30 Mem, FSB TV 1.40, NB 1.45, SB 1.5 and I have it running at 400x9 for 3.6GHz. Not sure how long it will last but when I go to bed tonight, if it hasn't crashed and burned by then, I'll run a dual Prime on it. I'm going to do some Photoshop now and see if it lasts.
QUESTION PEOPLE.
My LGA775 mount (for the TT120) is "stuck" to the mobo (as directed in installation). WTF to I get replacements for them? Any sites would be cool so I can see what I'm after, but UK would be nice! Thanks!

I ignored the directions and left the paper attached to the sticky surfaces, used it on 3 boards now.Quote:

You don't need the pad and insulator to stick to anything to function properly. The pins on the components keeps the pad in place.
Try the hardware or auto parts store to find something for a replacement. Gasket material will work.

my suggestion is to remove the mount and buy some two way stickem tape to install on the mounting plate...then, do not remove the other half so the mounting plate can be removed later on.

Still my memory is supposed to be 5-5-5-12 and it

Im a little concerned about the vcore so high.
But my real question is temps???
CPU at idle is between 49 and 50c I figure ill go as high as 57c during a stress
test. What are safe ranges, cuz 3.6 sure aint worth new parts.
Where can I find the 0801 bios? Cant find it with asus updateQuote:

make sure you get the thicker kind of double stickem tape...it is like a 1/16 or 1/8 inch thick...i believe "3M" makes it.

P5B XMS TWIN Corsair DDR2-800c4 issue...
I cannot get my board to recognize all 4 one gig sticks (in POST).
no matter where I put them.
each tests fine alone in slot3 like ASUS tech told me to do.
He also told me to clear cmos. I did.
Reset the needed values.
I set the memory to 2.1v and DDR2-800 in bios
Any hints or help?
much appreciated. thanks
P.S. Where do I set the 4-4-4-12 stuff in the BIOS?

if you are getting 43C(!) for MB temperatures on load, i think you don't have enough cooling for your board and, more importantly, the NB. i'm guessing that you are not using the stock HS, which pushes air around the NB, and you do not have a fan blowing at the NB and/or SB?Quote:

for MB temp? i think asus probe sets the default threshold for MB temp at 45 deg to flag a warning. do you think it is too conservative?Quote:

I learned this the hard way when I was running air coolied Distributed Computing 24/7, & my window airconditioner went out during the summer. I stupidly disabled the TM in order to run at full production, even tho my cpu was bouncing off the thermal threshold, & was throttling.
Within three weeks, the damage was done. The chip, a 640 'NO', which had been an excellent OC'er, lost it's ability to OC, for the most part, & even required Vcore exceeding stock specs, just to run stably at stock clocking!
I could see disabling it for a suicide run, but if you think you may be running at throttling or near throttling temps, regularly, then you may want to reconsider disabling this function.
Of course, if ur not running near throttling temps, there's no need to disable this function! ;)

hmm, some raid help please:
I've installed windows on a single 320 gig sata drive.
Before install, I changed the bios to raid and added during install with F6 the intel raid storage driver. Now I've installed everything and added the second 320gig to my config. First is on a red connector, the second on a black.
I'm now looking at the intel matrix storage manager bios screen, but can't figure out how to setup raid1(mirror) and use 1 as template for the other.
I'm afraid when I try it, the one with the windows install is lost.
1. dont connect the other drive to the black connector....both go on reds.Quote:

however, having said all that, I'm not quite sure how to tell Windows to copy the contents of the one drive over the other for the RAID1 setup....I thought I read somewhere that once you install windows in a non-RAID configuration, you cant go to raid....but I could be wrong. :confused:
Well just tried my luck inside windows with the intel matrix console.Quote:

So i'm keeping my fingers crossed.
And I've still got one on the red connector and one on a black.
That's what the manual says that the black one is for data disks and the red ones for boot.
right, but that's a different scenario.Quote:

everyone I know who is running these mobos in RAID1 has them both on Red, including myself (RAID1, 2x250 SATAII)
:confused:
Ace-a-Rue you are right about the manual...
BUT this is POST not OS.
Could a bios update fix this address issue?
(Using the newest 0711)
thanks for the reply and thanks for the thread!
Here is a little fix I had to do to get my P5B DLX up and running...
I have 2 x 1 GB Ballistix PC6400 but with this RAM the board would not post. When I powered up the system the screen stayed black (no post) although everything powered up (board, disks etc...). After some reading I suspected the board was not giving my RAM enough voltage. So I bought a cheap 256 MB PC4200 stick with Hynix chips on it just to make it post, which worked. Then I flashed the BIOS to the latest version. After that I went into the BIOS and set the memory voltage to 2.25 V (this used to work on my P5WD2-E). Then I added one Ballistix stick and started the system again. It showed 1280 MB.. After that I took the power off and swapped the Hynix DIMM for my other Ballistix DIMM, and guess what : It now works with the 2 Ballistix DIMM's !
Now the only thing I can hope is that Asus fixes this in a newer BIOS, because I think I have to do this trick again and again when I overclock my system so far that it won't post. Quite irritating because when the system is running it has no memory instability at all...
Hope it helps some of you with similar problems...
they use the word "system" in that sentence which could mean your motherboard system, not necessarily your operating system.

47C-55 idle/load now (from 51-58)
FRUCK yeah!!! :toast:
EDIT: after getting pissed off and voiding my warranty (how needs um) by ripping off that stupid ASUS stick off the NB and putting my own TIM on the thing, and BAM stablity...... oh i also stuck a fan ontop of the north bridge
CPU is to hot for me for prime (55+) untill i kill it, stupid stock HSF (waiting on water)
Alrighty, i need some MAJOR HELP. first off this is my FIRST intell build...
rocking this mobo(p5b deluxe) 507 bios rev. c1
a e6600
2gbs of ddrs 800 ram (gskill F2-6400PHU2-2GBHZ)
im also using the intell raid driver to run two 72gb raptors in raid0...
a x1900xtx from saphire,
and a 700watt OCZ PSU
right now everything is at stock speeds,with stock cooling,(loots of xtra fans though) mobo settings set as in guide, ram set to 1:1 (533) with there 800 timings (5-5-5-15) wiht 2.1v
now the first time i tried to install windows it rebooted in the last %75, and it couldnt finish the install, however i think it was caused by the south bridge overheating, (it was getting rather hot) so i slaped a fan there. then windows installed fine. i installed all the drivers and a few apps, a few reboots later, and one day of sitting.............
it boots into windows fine, i go leave it abit, when i came back, it had locked up, Before the screen saver could come on, now this system was running fine..... also after this lock up, the pc starts to lock up faster and faster( to the point i cant getinto bios) untill i let it sit etc....
SO i think its overheating shomehow.... but the procs heat sick isnt warm, the ram is barrely warm, the top set of voltage regulaters are fine. everything but the northbridge, its kinda warm to the touch, but nothing i would think would cause lock ups,
ive tried stock volts, all auto setting etc... and it locks up just the same (doesnt stay stable anylonger)
so im stumped, ANY help woul be EXTREMELY nice
thx
levi
I just set up a computer with an Asus P5B-Deluxe.
E6700 ES
2GB PQI Turbo DDR2 PQI25400-2GDB
NVidia 7900GS
Ultra XFinity 500W power supply
250GB Maxtor IDE hard drive (don't even have a CDROM installed since I don't have a cable long enough)
BIOS just flashed to 0711.
Standard settings. Nothing is overclocked.
At first, it ran great. All the drivers were installed. It still ran great.
Then I ran Windows Update and downloaded 60 updates. I rebooted. As soon as I run anything that is remotely taxing, the computer blue screens with a "page_fault_in_non_paged_area". I'm talking starting up Firefox or IE. Both of those will give me a BSOD almost immediately.
Normally, I would suspect a memory issue. But I clocked the memory down to 533MHz. I raised the vDIMM voltage to 2.0 and even 2.1. Nothing fixed it.
I disabled the onboard audio and the firewire. Again, no dice. BSOD immediately upon running
Then I removed one of the DIMMs. Still BSOD. Removed the other DIMM. Still BSOD.
What did fix it was booting into safe mode with networking. I can't get it to BSOD in safe mode.
So that says to me that it is possibly a driver issue. But I'm honestly lost. Has anyone encountered anything remotely similar?
when in doubt....format c:....*-):toast:
I just swapped in a 512MB stick from my 3.4GHz P4 Media PC that is rock solid and I got a BSOD after running IE.
Asus just told me...
you will need to set your memory timing in your bios to get this to work correctly. most memory modules come with documentation with the timings or some brands even print the timings on the memory itself. you will need to locate these numbers and enter your bios. from there look for the advanced tab and input the memory timings in the section labled dram or memory settings. you will need to set the memory settings from auto to manual then put your timings in those boxes
I have been blind before, but I can't for the life of me see where to input the memory timing of 4-4-4-12! ??
Went to advanced... what next
bios 0711
thanks
edit: I just found it under northbridge when spd set to disabled...
Do I put the 4-4-4-12 in the first four fields ... then what values go in the following six fields?
Is this data available anywhere on Asus site? On corsair's site?
jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez
these guys make it tough to birtha Mega-Monster!

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone can help me out. I'm having a problem with my Plextor PX-755SA DVD Burner and this board.
This burner is reading and writing extremely slow!
I have a RAID 5 Array on the Intel Matrix chip, with all three drives connected to the red plugs on the board. (top red plugs)
Now I have this SATA Burner and originally I had it connected to the 4th and final red plug, but things weren't working well. (Power calibration error in Nero) So I plugged it into the black connector beside the red one and it would burn a cd but it was super slow.
Now I have it connected to the JMicron controller (far black plug) and it is still very slow. Itried every setting for this controller in the BIOS except 'raid'. (I can only analyze a movie in dvd shrink @ around 70 fps) I orginally had wanted this drive connected to the Intel controller so I can leave the JMicron controller disabled.
Does anyone else have this SATA Burner working with this board and a RAID array?
hmm all the black slots are jmicron i think...
have you tried playing with the settings in nero or on the ICH8R? im not sure how good the jmicron controller is.
All black slots can't be JMicron, as I was burning a cd with it connected to one of the black slots by the red slots with JMicron controller disabled in BIOS?
I think I may have got it though... playing with settings in Plex Tools... They really need a proper manual for these burners.

I ve heard about this problem, the problem was in the drivers.
Go to Asus.com, download the Jmicron driver (~~11mb), install it, see the result.
:toast: :banana:
I was having problems to,my DVD drive giving me erros with some brands.Quote:

ok got a problem - when I restart most of the time I don't have video :eek: :mad: and have to power off the PSU and power it back on. so most of the time I just power down then turn back on instead of restarting - sorry if this has been cover (long night and long thread)

Oh, you are an angel. I gleaned lots of epiphanous insight!
What a chart! You went beyond the pale creating this for me. I hope other OC noob heads will benefit. Even Asus tech did not know wher in the BIOS these settings were! No surprise to you I must assume:) Why is this not in the friggin manual?
Thank you, thank you so much for your efforts. This is the forum that ROCKS for real world solutions to arcane motherboard/memory minutae. I will research the memory for the proper specs.
Why go anywhere else but XS? :scope:
thanks again :banana:
if you're simply using the JMicron port for an IDE (or SATA) burner, DON'T load the jmicron drivers.... just let windows install the standard IDE drivers... thewn you'll have ZERO issues with the port...
:cool:
I am not about to read the other 44 pages for one question. Has the double/triple/unlimited amount of restarts when booting being fixed by a bios update yet?
Ah, coming from an long history of AMD equipped systems, installing a Intel system turned out to be easy enough. I'm now running P5B Deluxe and E6400 with Corsair XMS memory. This thing overclocks almost like my last Intel processor, the Celeron 300A. ;) I'm now running at 4x800!
And I'm a newbie on the board, hello to all from Finland!
what kind of video card?...PCIe or PCI and what model.Quote:

I ended up running memtest this morning. I'm getting errors during the random testing. I ended up turning the vDIMM up to 2.1V, and it still gave me errors. I set the RAM to 667MHz and 533MHz and it made no difference.
I am going to try my other DDR2 RAM in the new Core 2 Duo box tonight and run memtest. I'm also going to run memtest with both sets of RAM on my Media Center PC (P4 3.4GHz with an Asus 945P motherboard) and see if that fails.
I hope to narrow the issue down to either the RAM, the motherboard (not likely), or the power supply.
I'll also pick up an Antec power supply from Circuit City that I can return later to rule that out.
What a pain in the ass.
Make sure you install jmicrom drivers from "f6" prompt during windows install.Quote:

jmicron in bios set to ide.
"Do not update jmicron drivers later or from windows update site" otherwise you will have disappearing drive, etc.
jmicron drivers work flawlessly providing installed during "f6" process, otherwise, you will spend countless hours banging your head trying to figure it out.
Thanks for all your fine help so far... but
Should I set the CPU External Frequency manually at 200MHz because I am using corsair xms DDR2-800C4?
Does this effect the speed of CPU calculations, effectively slowing down the E6700?
Also, the CPU-z shows my SPD at 4-4-4-13 event hough it is set at 4-4-4-12-5?
This is my first Intel system (obviously)
