Hmm maybe, but I have 2 dimms and the new version of cpu-z says 2t, unless cpu-z is wrong?Quote:

In this case the Command Rate was set at 2T, because Intel chipsets do not support 1T Command Rate.

Ok I've about had it with this board... So after all the issues with getting this board booted some time ago and then ordering a new board and having even more troubles with that one(switching out ram to get a good boot etc.. and having to use a different ram stick to boot almost every time) I finally got this thing running stable (or so I thought?). It's been up and running for a little over a month now stable at 3.5ghz. So I'm using my pc yesterday and I start up firefox and get an error...so I tried it again and another error... then I had another error popup on my screen before my pc decided to reboot. When it rebooted it went through the windows bootup process then bluescreen at the login screen...'irql not les than or equal too' or something like that....so it rebooted again... and AGAIN at the login screen I get another error message 'memory handling error' ok... so then I go into bios and adjust the vcore voltage to 1.48 and booted into windows, got passed the login screen and then BOOM another freaking bluescreen. So THEN I lowerd my nbcore and raised my memory core and I got into windows finally... BUT NOW my network card can't get an ip address from my router and I have no sound. No audio device found is what I get... and my NIC card is there but it cannot acquire an IP... So I uninstall my sound card and nic card and reboot again... but before it boots I go into bios to set my settings back to the original voltages and settings... (385x8, vcore 1.4625, memory@2.25, sb 1.65) ok so now I boot into windows and YAY my sound card is there, but my nic still cannot get an IP. So removed and installed my NIC yet AGAIN and BOOM my sound and NIC are both gone once again... I'm stumped. I even defragged and then uninstalled and reinstalled the nic/sound again to no avail... ANY IDEAS?!?!
I'm at my witts end, I don't know if this is an issue with my OS or if this really is a motherboard issue or a PSU(which I highly doubt) or what????
Just downloaded latest cpuz and it states i'm running in 2T. Have 6400hz GSkill memory with a E6600 @ 3.6.
Is there really no way of getting 1T?
Cheers
Had the same problem with my board and 6700, the board is volt modded and i had to turn up the vdimm to 2.1 then it starts, don't know if you have access to adjustable voltage control, it maybe the bios 910 only flashed last weekQuote:

If you have any extra sticks of ram around, then you'll need to boot up using only one RAM slot and the other stick of RAM(RAM rated @1.8 volts) and once booted then you can go into your BIOS and set your settings back, then shut down and boot up with your normal RAM. The issue is this... the p5b-deluxe is notorious for gettings stuck in the bios reset loop. Basically your bios has reset to all defaults due to a failed overclock or whatever issue you had and now your RAM voltage is set back to default 1.8... Problem is you are probably running High Quality RAM which in most cases is rated @ 2.0 or 2.1 or so... Now the bios is SUPPOSE to detect your RAM voltage and adjust accordingly at startup but in my experience this doesn't happen often. What I had to do was just order the cheapest stick of RAM I could find from newegg for like 30bux which was rated @ 1.8 volts... and have that as a utility tool just in case my board decides to be LAME and not boot after a setting failed...which it has done SEVERAL SEVERAL times. Hopefully all this makes sense and is helpful? After this though, you're board shoot boot just fine.Quote:

Just a heads up, wasn't sure if this had been mentioned or not, but the latest Speedfan Beta is working beautifully on my setup, finally.
Well in an interesting turn... Last night I was playing around with it and one of the nic ports on my mboard the light would turn on when it was plugged into the router, and the other one would not turn on at all... Then I lowered my nbridge voltage and they both came on, and my sound card re-appeared as well. But now my sound card is 'there' and I can go into it using creative sound panel but when I go into volume control in windows it says no sound device detected... Yet I can hear sound just fine and use the creative panel, but not the windows volume control. When I double click the sound icon in my system tray it says 'no mixer device installed' I've uninstalled and re-installed the sound card several several times and it's the same issue. My sound card is listed in hardware manager, but when I double click the speaker icon in my system tray it says no mixer device installed and when I go into control panel in windows it says no audio device is detected... But I can hear sound just fine lol... and I can use the creative labs sound panel. This is sooooo weird... suggestions?
Well , Sorry to hear about your problems.Quote:

Higher voltage is NOT always the right answer.
If you decide to continue using the P5B Deluxe, I suggest you start keep a log. before you do anything check cabels , vacuum clean case, make sure there's not a speck on the mobo . nothing that might short/disrupt proper functioning.
Start at default/SPD , stress the system for an hour or so , and I mean every subsystem , including downloads, hdd , audio etc.. than use these setting for a week.
Now, next step should be at 66% or your max overclocked system. if its not stable than revert to 33% . If its stable than the 66% will be a new BASE . If not than the 33% .. etc
but keep a log or screen captures of all relevant parameters. this will be usefull in retracing you steps or RMAing .

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 ???
yeah, it turns out that the processor has a FSB limit. i picked up a e6300 instead, and now my exact same setup is running 500x6 stock voltage on everything.Quote:

I've been playing with this board for the past few days with an e6300 and the latest bios. I am able to do 7x450 with no problem other than heat, and no adjustments other than running the vcore at 1.4v. The cooler I'm running on it is crap and I don't want to push it further until I put in my retail e6600. For Ram I'm using 2x1GB Mushkin ddr2 800 SPD: 2.1v 4-5-4-11. I borrowed the e6300 from work and I now have my own e6600 sitting on my desk waiting to go in tonight.
I highly recommend when trying to find your best stable overclock that you disable the onboard sound. On Vista x64 with the Asus provided audio drivers the system is unstable with the FSB at anything above 300Mhz. It does, however, run just fine with the microsoft HD audio driver. It took me all day yesterday to figure out why the system was suddenly unable to maintain stability at even a moderate overclock. It should have been obvious but the instability was so strange. The windows control panel would not open, it would flash open and then close with no error message. SuperPi would not complete. Prime95 ran for 2 hours with no problem, as did 3DMark. I switched back to the microsoft hd audio drivers and all is well.
The BIOS settings on page one on the " P5B Deluxe: BIOS screens for maximum overclocking success " did not work. I configured the system frequency/voltage and the pc shut down and would not boot back up. So I unplugged it and got an overclocking failed message. I had to set the AI Tuning back to auto. Also, any idea on how to get rid of the beep during power up. It has been doing this since I put the pc together. When playing games like Half-Life2 I get a beep or two during game play. I have the most up to date BIOS. Why is this? Could this be a memory problem? I ran Memtest and it checked out fine. I am worried about damage to my PC.
Here are my specs:
ASUS P5B Deluxe/WIFI-AP edition.
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.40GHz OEM Processor. Ultra Xwind CPU cooler.
Corsair TWINX 1024MB PC5400 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 Memory (2 x 512MB).
PNY Optima 1GB PC2-5300 667MHz DDR2 DIMM Memory
Western Digital / Caviar SE 16 / 250GB / 7200 / 16MB / SATA-300 / OEM / Hard Drive .
Sony DRU810A / 16x8x16x DVD+RW / 16x6x16x DVD-RW / 8x DVD±R DL / Interchangable Bezels White or Black / Internal DVD Writer - Retail.
1.44MB Floppy Disk Drive (Black).
500w ANtec Smartpower 2.0.
PNY GEFORCE 7900 GS video card, 256mb.
Creative Audigy Sound Card.
Samsung SyncMaster 940mw HD/WS LCD Monitor.
Thank you.
run cpuz and open up the mainboard tab to see if the board reverted to 1X pci ex lane width in which case do a reset(power down with psu turned off then back on)boot up and set your northbridge volts to 1.45 and pci ex frequency to 105.
Marinecop, you're using different memory sticks, Corsair and PNY. Even if you don't get errors in memtest, it might affect your OC. Try running only with Corsair sticks and see what happens.
I'm not surprised at this. I am running an e6400 at a 420x8 overclock (all my RAM can do really) in Vista32 and it's stable, but I have totally lost sound when coming out of sleep mode. When I was playing a game (and hadn't realized the sound was gone until in the middle of a multiplayer fight!) it suddenly came back.Quote:

Neither the Microsoft or SoundMax driver is great, with Microsoft I have problems getting the mike to work, with SoundMax, sometimes there is a bug where the audio input level keeps running up and down all the time and the output is extremely noisy. With neither can I get the front mike port to work.
I am beginning to suspect the sound chip itself is faulty, all the driver patches in the world can't do much with a badly designed sound chip.
Hi all, I'm a noob! :banana:
I have the P5B Deluxe WiFi with E6600, Vista Ultimate 32 bit and have installed 2 x 1Gb OCZ Platinum XTC DDR2-800.
I installed it on A1/A2 thinking this would give me Dual Channel Performance but on checking CPU-Z it showed it as Single Channel. After some research I discovered that I need to insert the memory in slots A1/B1.
I did this and the PC would then not even POST. Tried A2/B1 - no POST. B1/B2 - No POST.
So the memory will ONLY allow a boot up if A1/A2 is used. I tried 4 lots of 1Gb DDR2-800 and still it wouldn't POST. Do I have a dead B Channel that needs an RMA?? :-(
Thx, Rich
Hello. Today I've removed my WC kit and installed a 6200 TC vga and the intel stock cooler, then the computer worked for around 2 hours with no problems, 1.2volts vcore in CPUZ, 2.4ghz (400x6). Temperature was around 50oC idle and 65oC full load (orthos). Intel TM (thermal monitor) and Enhanced speed step ENABLED, so probably it's impossible that my CPU toasted since TM slow down the clock and vcore when temperature raises above acceptable values.
Then I went to have lunch and when I came back the screen was frozen couldn't move the mouse. After a reset the computer did not boot any more, tryied turning it off in the power supply and no go, tried the clear cmos jumper no go, tried removing the bios battery also no success. when I turn it on all the fans work and the HD light keeps on, the dvd-rom light flashes a few times and then it stuck. No video, no beeps. I'm desperate :(
