Let me guess....."improve memory compatibility" :rofl:
No idea TBH but I'd be surprised if I was wrong.

Let me guess....."improve memory compatibility" :rofl:
No idea TBH but I'd be surprised if I was wrong.
At least:
- modified behaviour of vNB voltage downgrade while using Epu6 utility
- fixed the bug that you were unable to install OS when Yorkfield C1 with FSB1600 was used
- fixed EzFlash2
- revised DMI table in order to support new windows 7 requirements
- +minor updates as well
Is stable with the same settings as 1306 ( did 2 linpack runs of maximum stress) this time it passed with the lower Vcore of 1306, beforehand I would get one or two errors...

Early Everest benchmarks reveal a slightly better cpu cache performance as 1306, but will need to verify further...
Any new ones in progress for the E's sir Pmp ? As they seem the most plagued boards with very erratic performance...
Nice. What was wrong and needed fixing in EzFlash2?
What minor updates were included?
That's strange about the lower vcore not causing errors when 1306 did get errors. I don't understand the logic behind that, or how it could be possible. The cpu has a minimum vcore requirement for a given speed, a bios cannot possibly affect that. Unless they have somehow stabilized the vcore supply such that it didn't drop below a certain point (I'm talking really fast fluctuations that aren't visible using cpu-z etc). Strange.
I could run prime and co eg at 1.2 Vcore (in bios) before 1306. With 1306 I could run 2 settings lower without loosing stability in Prime or OCCT... yet Linpack 1.6 failed and needed 1.2 again... now I tried it for fun and it passed 2 times test with 5 itenerations (with max ram test)... don't ask me why, but it worked here (maybe better AUTO GTL tuning ? )... when are you getting the MF II mate ?
Leeghoofd ty f report,I try 1402:) to
ok here is the report of BIOS 1402 from me,I use 3D-mark05 to test the pc to 24/7 E8600 Q820A606 @ 4.2 1.28v
low vcore to here,an fsb to/mem:up: nice ASUS
I have 1402 installed now, ran a quick Linpack test with 1 notch lower for cpu, got 1 error, then tried 1 notch higher vdimm to 2.02 from 2.0, passed no problem, all my other settings exactly as 803m bios. Will test further..

Right, yes perhaps you're correct in that GTL may be different on the new bios. Interesting findings. My M2F should be here in 3 days or so, ordered it last night :D
So you also can go lower on vcore and stay stable? What did you notice about the fsb/mem?
You too with the lower vcore, well it seems to be reproducible, perhaps there is better GTL tuning on the new bios. Certainly is an interesting finding.
My GTL's are set exactly the same as my previous settings, .670;0/2 .675; 1/3,.640 NB.
Game runs smooth, Linpack runs fine.. will test more soon.
Larry
i tried bios 1402,was on 1306 and i tried lowering my Vcore one step and i was able to pass linpack 5 runs also.where before it would fail
Bios 1402 working fine over here, vcore stable at 2 notches down as noted by Lee. Tested mem voltage and it overvolts more for me with this bios than 1306. This new bios setting 2.16 in bios is giving me 2.22-23 real.
Bios 1307 for P5Q... much slower benchmarks all around and doesnt fix anything, typical Asus.
im getting real tired of this chit :mad:
here is 4 hour orthos test with Leeghoofd's settings 533x7.5 1,2935v set bios , core temps near 72C @ %100 load with old big typhoon:D i must change him to TRUE 120

Playing with my P5Q since 2 Days a little bit, and i reached this. have to find now a better performance on the RAM.. Maybe with the 1402 Bios.. :rolleyes:
Since there is no separated P5Q Pro thread, and it's almost the same MBO...
I bought this one because it says it has two completely x16 slots. I cannot put my 8800 Ultra in first slot because I have HTPC and it doesn't fit because of HDD cage there.
So I put it in second slot but it's stuck at 8x. Why? What the hell should I do now? RMA it?
Hi!
I have an Asus P5Q and i need help to overclock my Q6600 to 3 ghz!
My settings are:
My questions are:Quote:
AI Overclock tuner: Manual
CPU Ratio Setting: 9
FSB Frequency: 333
FSB Strap to North Bridge: AUTO
PCI-E Frequency: 100
DRAM Frequency: 800
DRAM Timing Control: Manual

CPU GTL Voltage Reference: 0.630
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.52
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.28
DRAM Voltage: 1.90
NB Voltage: 1.18
NB GTL Reference: 0.630

Advance CPU Settings

C1E Support: Enable
Max CPUID Value Limit: Disabled
Intel Virtualization Tech: Disabled
CPU TM Function: Disabled
Execute Disable Bit: Disabled
- The AI Clock Twister option, what are the differences beetween, lighter, moderate, stronger, etc... ?
- I can boot at 900 mhz in my memories, but when i try to reach 1000 mhz i can't, i even put 2.2v in my memories but nothing... Is any setting bad in my config or is the ram that is not very good... Is strange because for 900 mhz i only put 1.9v.
- What are the PULL-INS and what are the differences when is enable or disabled.
- Options like Intel Virtualization Tech, Execute Disable Bit, and the others... why are always disabled for overclock ?
- Why in DRAM Frequency don't appear frequency's like 800,900,1000, and appears 7xx, 88x, 1002, etc ?? ( I know that varies depending of the FSB, but why i can't put 900 ? ). :S
And the last question
- Load Line Calibration must be enable or disable ? What are the differences ?
Thanks... I know this a lot of questions, but i want to put this only in 3ghz, and iam a bit noob on this, so if anyone help me, i will be grateful.
P.S- Sorry for my english... :rolleyes:
AI Transaction Booster, try Auto or somehere near 10.
Dram Voltage, What ram are you running? Maybe try 1.98 to 2.0v for ram that runs 2.1v
Load Line Calibration, It fixes the vdrop/vdroop for the most part, I don't use it but alot of folks do.
I suggest running ram timings loose until you get your highest clock, then mess with tightening ram timings up. Hope this helps some.
Larry
hmm I flash back to 1306 ? max whit 1406 an E8600 is 450x10 an 1306 It is 510x10 an to 24/7 480x10
but to 420x10 is 1402 nice,but not to high overclock.
Which is the best board to have in overclockering a E8600?
whats the differents between the too on what they can do?
ASUS P5Q Deluxe LGA 775 Intel P45 Intel Motherboard
ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
the deluxe has better cooling and 16-phase power....the power may be a gimmick but the cooling helps for sure.
A nice in-between is the P5Q-E
Lee can you repost your template for the QX9650. I want to see if mine will do the same.
