What's your board's revision SF3D ?
And could you please give us a pic of the NB ? ( good enough to read the writings :p: )

What's your board's revision SF3D ?
And could you please give us a pic of the NB ? ( good enough to read the writings :p: )
Maybe a new revision ( not sure, but it could be ) or a minor revision "silently" applied to the latest batches.
Maybe nothing, just better luck on the MCH pick.
One thing's for sure, that with each new BIOS release the memory clocking will be getting better, the only question is... how much.
SF3D put us a 4GB kit in there and see how you do then?
Can you post some settings?
- Performance level ?
- Voltages : NB ? ? VTT ? vPLL ? GTL-ref tuning ?
Can't get to 600FSB myself, top out at 595 for now on bios 0904.
Nice going by the way !
Edit : saw your PL in the screenshots : 10 & 11 :) Voltages still interest me though :)
Memset show the memory settings and voltages were
CPU: 1:45V
NB: 1.56V
VPLL: 1.6
VTT: 1.22V
rest: auto
-Tony: I have only one 4GB ram set and they haven't done over 850MHz (1700) in any board so far. I don't think they will clock any better on this board.
Best bios seems to be 0704. Weird!
not sure if anyone mentioned this but 0904 is on the asus site now.
P5Q3 Deluxe/WiFi-AP @n BIOS V0904
Update Boot Block Version
does anyone have anything newer than this?
nope same file according to crc32, md5 and sha-1 file hashes
something not right here, are you guys booting this speed from bios or are you booting in as lot lower and pushing up with setfsb?
it seems new bios won't be released this week.
I agree Tony, something is not right, at least with our boards ;) At these settings my board won't even post lol.
My settings for 575x7 / E8400 :
PL: 13 (!)
CPU : 1,375
NB: 1.48V (above 1.50 board is acting up - might be cooling related)
VPLL: 1,70
VTT: 1,36
GTLref : 0,620-0,630
NB strap : 266 (!)
Memory : 1725Mhz (2:3) - 87728 (OCZ Flex II - Samsung based)
Not stable enough for me though : prime for about 5min, but not much more. Also, 7x multi worked much better for me than 6 or 6,5.
Edit : I'm on watercooling (only CPU)
It was a few weeks since I tested this board now but out of my head I think you both are kind of right. :)
The feeling I got was that vNB, vPLL and vTT needs to be at a certain level compaired with eachother. If I recall right vNB=1.56 and vPLL=1.7 was what took me to the highest FSB. But to make it stable just a few mhz lower FSB I had to lower one of them.
The highest 3D-benchable FSB I tested was 595. Strap 333 seemed to be a little more stable than 266. It worked best if I set vcore, vnb, vpll, vtt and the rest to auto. I have not tried x.5 multipliers that much with high FSB as I until now only have used aircooling. I have not tried any newer BIOS than 0704 but so far max RAM-speed has been around 1900MHz with CAS7 (G.Skill 2x1GB, D9GTR).
I hope to try 0904 within a couple of days.
EDIT: REV 1.02G China
600fsb easily on this mobo..
632fsb on air cpu and nb stock
PL: 13
CPU : 1,300
NB: 1.44V
NB GTL: 0.545
VPLL: 1,52
GTLref : 0,610-0,610
NB strap : 333
Vfsb: 1.4v
Vdimm: 1.88v

Guys, I think I've already had it with this board. I've tried every Dram clk skew under the sun to get my kits to post in dual channel. Tried black and orange slots. nothing works. I can run 2x2 in single channel just fine but bandwidth is crap.
I had this same problem on my P5e3 dlx x38.
Both sticks pass memtest separately but board will not post in dual channel. Does anyone have any tricks up their sleeves for me? I'm out of ideas here. I've tried everything.
even the 2x1 reaperx (micron D9GTN) kit wont post in dual. I'm gonna rma this board and get ws evolution or p5e3 premium. :(
just so everyone knows we are using fully jedec compliant spd on all ocz kits, this has also been double checked with Intel for the BT2 bundles etc so we know there is nothing wrong with spd and Intel chipsets.
Now, asus may require a tweak to this spd, we are looking into it this next week but being honest I doubt it will do anything.
from talking to engineers noise dual channel seems to be the issue, P45 is really sensitive and jitter throws a spanner in the works with this chipset when memory load climbs up.
I tested MSI, Asus and GBT boards with ddr3 4gb kits, they are all pretty much crap at this time. 2GB kits are working a lot better with the samsung IC doing better than Micron. So if all these guys posting 600fsb matters to you make sure you get a 2gb samsung based kit, if like me 2gb is not enough then consider buying one of the 4GB samsung kits till a miracle happens in bios or I find some wonder spd tweak that removes jitter..LOL
anyone able to get a quad to 500? I managed to get to 490, but am not really sure about my settings.
trial and error for me. Is it just the quads?

anyone tryed to mesourament ram voltage drop ??
i tryed it and i found that if i put 2,00v @ bios the m/b did 1,91v @FULL and 1,96/97 @ IDLE, someone can try pls ?
yep, BIOS 1.94 -> idle measured 1.97 -> load measured 1.97
