Can anyone here run Cas 3 (800mhz plus)? I sure as hell can't...
Nice camou, I´ll post some numbers when I get those sticks :yepp:
:D How about 32M below 12min with RAM @ 2.40 volts:shocked: :Quote:

haha keep pushing it man :D
Mmmmm :) sweet, but this are more sweet! :P
DDR3 Power :) same cpu speed, ddr3 almost 30s.

Done with 2.5 Vmem - maybe less possible, got no more time to test it.
BTW never touched my NB,PLL & FSB volts - always NB=1.41 / PLL=1.5 / FSB=1.3.
Though the 4:5 divider is broken >400 MHz I don't think I really need it....:rofl:
@ Infa: You can't compare DDR3 performance to DDR2.........;)
:up:
Fixed!!! Thank You WeldZilla!!!!!:up:

reflash the bios m8..... the new 303 bios off the asus site is now working and stable.... i'm pretty sure the mouse was causing my issue with the pointer as it also happens at stock.
just reflash, try dllin the bios off the site again and using that one.... good luck m8... my new 80quid mouse arrives in the morning so i'll know if my board has survived the currupted bollox.....
Nah i didnt, just wanted to brag hehe ...errr.. ;)Quote:

Djbuddy if you don't have any issues with the current setup, stick with it... the latest release for the Maximus brings better ram performance , no idea for the P5E
flashing your bios is pointless if are just running your machine stock. if you have any issues then upgrading the bios can help sometimes but not often.Quote:

i noticed that the dividers are working differantly with 303... i cant use my old settings but am able to work on getting similar if not better performance.
so 303 is definatly doing something to the memory.....
Hi folks,
I jsut received my P5E last thursday and hope to add some experience to the bunch of posters here...and I am curious to see what's going to be discussed here.
Let me correct a few things that I found to be wrong in this thread so far:
Firstly, the voltage damper/loadline calibration feature really appears to be broken. the pencil mod tho is not applied to a RESISTOR, but to a CAPACITOR. Resistors always have a number on them telling the resistance value, capacitors are brownish and have no label.
Secondly, the BIOS 0303 is now officially listed in the P5E BIOS support on ASUS' website. The 0303 has not caused me any obvious problems.
I will most likely not apply the usual "solder vmods" because I'd rather avoid it and wait until the BIOS is being fixed. However I am experienced in SMD soldering and it wouldn't pose a problem to me.
I found a rather striking difference between the P965 chipset and the X38. My P965 left me guessing what's wrong running it at 1.45V MCH. It kept "stumbling" and freezing for up to a minute until it resumed working, but never showed any errors in logs nor caused crashes. :mad:
The X38 clearly caused errors in Orthos at the same voltage. I find that a lot better sice you at least get a clear hint that somethign is WRONG and WHAT it could be. I must say I am happy to now use this workstation chipset. :D
OK. Here I am, if I can help clear things up with my 17 years of PC building experiences, lemme know. :)
---
ASUS P5E, BIOS 0303
E6600 @ 3.6 GHz/1.48V/450*8
X38 MCH volt: 1.61
2 GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2-800
1 GB MDT DDR2-800
Sparkle 8800GTS 320MB
Enermax Liberty 400W PSU
ST3500630AS SATA2/NCQ 500GB
WD2500KS SATA2 250GB
So whats the concensus on the 303 bios?
I'm stuck @ 465 max on my FSB and can't push it further. Anyone get further with the new bios?
:rolleyes: Yep - 480 is running, maybe more. Think Your CPU is FSB-limitted.Quote:

What are you guys pushing quads to with this board???

Your RAM sticks are not as good as camouflage ones. Simple as that. Get over it but dont blame the board... anyway, why do you want to run CAS3 and relatively low clocks on this board? Higher frequencies are better than tighten timmings.
well i don't seem to be the only one having problems but still seeking confirmation and a reason...
seems 0203 and 0303 is bugged, :(
memtestx86 1.70+ and prime95 gives me major ram errors with the above bios'ses but not with 0107 or 0201...
timings and speed and cpu oc has no influence... my ram works fine at 800mhz 4-5-4-11 on bios 0201... but fails even at 667mhz 5-5-5-18 on 0303
all possible setups tried, cpu at standard, everything manual, everything at auto
0203 and 0303 refuses to accept my ram, seem at least one user at the asus forums has this problem as well, anybody in here?
setup is as follows:
Intel C2Q Q6600 B3
Thermalright Ultra120 Ex w/ Scytch 120mm 1200rpm
Asus P5E
4x1GB Mushkin HP2 PC2-6400 4-5-4-11 2.1v
Zotac GF 8800GT
74GB WD Raptor AFDF
//devnull77
I can't confirm this for the P5E but with the Formula timings have been tightened on the ram and I get more and better bandwith with the latest bios for that board (0701)...
Have you tried with Static Read control enabled and Transaction Booster disabled, relax level 1 ?
What exactly does Static Read control?
@ Leeghoofd
well thnx for the answer regarding Maximus Formula... maybe i'll just have to wait it out?? :(
regarding transaction booster tried it at level 0,1,2,3 and disabled, haven't changed anything... i've been testing almost 24/7 to locate if it's that damned bios or my ram... but hard to do alone... static read control enabled? hmmm once yeah normally put this to disabled, but i do think i've tried it enabled and did change anything as well, gonna recheck in a minute...
until then i've ordered 4x1GB Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 to test with as well(hope it's not my board that's eventually frying them? seems unlikely as my mushkin still works with 0201) :shrug:
if anybody else have ram problems with those bios' (0203 and 0303) pls let me know
thnx a bunch
p.s. fugger or anybody else can't magicly pop up with a new beta bios or anything hehe?
;) It improves RAM stability & performance, for me always enabled.Quote:

Still can't get AI SUITE running - it is installed and it starts (I see the process running in TASK MANAGER) - but nothing on the desktop.
I phoned with ASUS and they told me they want to do some further test with an E6850..........:confused: . What did the use for the BIOS development, a PENTIUM III ???
The board still reads the CPU temp about 10°C too low. I had the same problem on my P5K deluxe, but there was a setting in BIOS in the CPU section called "PECI"- when this was disabled, the P5K did read the right temps.
But P5E has nomore PECI setting in BIOS.................:mad:
Also told this ASUS, the guy on the line told me they want to take a look where PECI can be set on this board............ - hm, do they have better glasses than me to read BIOS settings ??? :rofl:
We'll see................:shrug:
:welcome:
Man, never try to understand ASUS support lol
The damn sticks are not here yet, so I´m currently playing with some OCZ that only do 900Mhz stable :(
