Just picked up my Asus P5B deluxe> and i finished installing everything on my computer and updating everything (latest drivers/ latest bios 1004)

* Processor: e4300, Allendale
* Bios Revision: 1004
* Memory: OCZ 6400 el Platinum xtc rev2
* vCore: 1.40
* vFSB: 1.3
* vNB: 1.55
* vSB: 1.6o
* vMem: 2.15
* Configured FSB: 300 > memory @ 1000 ddr2
* Configured Ratio: 9
* Configured Memory Timings: 5-5-5-15
* C1E and SpeedStep off, Locked PCI Express Frequency locked at 100, PCI Sync Mode at 33.33.

and i can't get stable higher then 300mhz FSB??? ive tried everything, setting votlages to auto.. upping the voltage. right now my system is stable at 2.7ghz (300x9) and memory running at ddr2-1000mhz.. but once i lower the multiplyer, and bump up the FSB to 330mhz > the system doesn't even boot.

any ideas ???

Thanks for trying to help.

Also, it is also suggested to remove everything including CPU and power on the board (without CPU) for 10 seconds. That should do full reset to factory defaults.
Personally I did not try this (as not needed) but if you are desperate and running out of ideas, may be worth trying.

Can I set the memory frecv lower then FSB ? I have only 1 : x where x >= 1. Is there a way to set let's say 4:3, something like fsb 400, memory 300 (ddr2 600) ?

@marius7: no, u can't since the lowest mem div for p5b is 1:1

I will do that, i changed my PSU to Spire 600Watts, still same problem, will remove the cpu now.

i formatted the PC and discovered that my LAN1 and LAN2 are working fine now....it was a driver issue it seems

but i did manage to kill my firewire port at the back....the one at front of the case still works...lol i don't know if it may just be disabled if i am using the front one or not heh

After i bought a new PSU, replaced the ram, nothing seemed to work, i took the Motherboard to my Computer Store and they discovered that some sort of transistor next to the WiFi card was burnt, it blowed up as the tech dude described, they offered me a paper to sign to send the motherboard to ASUS, i belive its outside Israel, must be Taiwan, the question is, obviously i did not burn the motherboard, it was working great untill some a reboot, i would like to know if ASUS will replace the motherboard if they see a transistor blowed up, i dont know what kind of warranty they offer but i wouldnt like to spend money again on a high end motherboard.

Hello everyone,

I have this mobo, with the bios 804, and I have trouble when I restart (and sometimes start) my computer. I have 1 long bip and 3 shorts.. I found that it's releated to the graphics card... But what I don't anderstand, is when it does that 9/10 the system reboots again and start normaly...

I don't know if it's related but my link width his also at 1x, as someone encountered the same problem?

Thanks

Most men and their dogs have the x1 issue at one time or another.
I find it goes away if I get my board voltages right, vcore and vdimm don't affect it.

I found some post that said that fixing the NB VCore and SB VCore corrected their problem, I have them fixed but it doesn't change a thing
NBV : 1.65V
SBV 1.60V

You have fixed them but what for?
If you're running stock or even 400MHz you may have more voltage than required. Think of bh-5 and voltage scaling, the board voltages are the same kind of deal.

I have a E6600 and I configured the bios like the first post with the 3 pictures proposed us, now I am at 366Mhz * 9 stable (memtest, sp2004, superPi), that's why I fixed the voltage.

Is it wrong?

You're probably pushing too much voltage through the NB/SB, take it down a step and try again. On my board I can do 390MHz with the stock NB/SB volts.

Should I use the 1004 BIOS or the 0904 BIOS?

Okay I will try, should I start by putting down the SB or the NB?

Try lowest manual settings first, shouldnt be a problem at all with only 366

Bump to answer this man's question!

http://dlsvr03.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...P/P5BD0910.zip

Is that the 0910 BIOS I should use? Otherwise, rename P5BD0910 to 1004 and you get 1004.

^ what? you should try 0910 first then 1004, im on 1004 and my OC has been fine throughout 0804, 0910 and 1004.

Sorry to ask again, but could anyone enlight me and tell me if there will be any problem with the RMA ? My local computer store told me they will send the P5B-Deluxe WiFi-AP to ASUSTek (China?), my question is if ASUS will accept or not my broken mobo, it has a little transistor burned next to the WiFi card, you dont even notice without looking really close.

I'm affraid i cannot afford a new card if they dont accept the RMA :(.

I had a similar thing happen to me with an Asus P5N32-E SLI 680i board. I rebooted, and the next thing you smell is burning plastic. Something on the motherboard near the video card burned up, which was very apparent.

I think Asus will replace it just fine, however, my question is why didn't your local computer store give you the replacement immediately? I purchased my board through NewEgg and they shipped me the replacement. I didn't have go through an RMA process with Asus.

Taking note, i will not buy again on this store, but now i have to deal with them, they just sent the card to ASUSTek, i hope they replace or i will need to buy a new mobo, was saving for a 8800GTX argh, this is driving me crazy :confused: .

Hope their RMA is decent, i didnt burn the mobo, somehow it self killed :(

Another one that hit the wall

I’m another one hitting the famous “Wall” with my current configuration. Anything above 500Mhz of fsb will give me an instant Orthos failure no matter of what voltage you adjust at the bios.

I just wondering if somebody has new information regarding this anomaly? What would you guys suggest?

Setup E6300@3.5Mhz, Memory:1000Mhz, FSB:500Mhz. Orthos stable for more that 4 hours
CPU Voltage: 1.376 under load (Vdropped from 1.415v)
P5B Dlx bios 0804

Had trouble clocking my Ram on my New P5B "Old Died"

Wouldnt run 4-4-4-12 1000mhz no matter what voltage. So i set all voltage options to Auto and tryed and boots and passes Memtest for hours. :confused:

I also flashed too 1004 bios from 0910, im sure it wasnt the flash to new bios as it was doing it before i tryed the current working options to "All to auto".

Just a heads up, any ideas. :cool:

Why do hell do you have to wait for ASUS to get a new mobo.. well maybe in your country is different, but even here in Serbia, where we have a potencial 8 million byuers market (which in economy terms is small - town Munich in Germany has bigger quarterly sales), noone whould dream or dear to tell customer something like that. I know for sure that asus grants all larger whosales companies a +certain% of merchandise in case of RMA, that is evident.

I work in computer firm as chief of support, so I deal with this stuff on daily bases. For instance when I find that board is dead within waranty or faulty, I send to wholesale partners support, when they conccur with my opinion, which is 95% cases, they immediately send replacemnet without waiting for autorization from vendor. Acctually I would most prefer that the firm RMA component right away, but that would require large supplies of different components, which is damaging to buisness as I have been told, due to quick prices shifts in computer and adjacent markets.

My advice is to pressure them any way you can, by treat of market inspection and so... offcourse I presume there is a legal period of time which they have in which they dont have to respond to RMA... here its maximum 45 days, but rarely anyone dares to pull that one off.
