Hmm, that must suck man. Thank god mine is x16.
Solution= use bios 0614
same hereQuote:

Nothing special about BIOS, except I am running with Speedstep & C1E enabled. (working flawlessly)
iìve got the same cpu but where i can find the speedstep function in the bios?I checked the cpu configuration page but it's not there!The bios version is 0804.Quote:

Would you be kind enough to tell us your bios settings for volts and mem timings and other feature that u disabled or enabled @8x500 or higher with default multi, and mem freq @1125. And its very interesting that u always had low value on your Tras (960 mh 4-5-4-4 2.15v) Or maybe its your extensive cooling on the chipset that affect it? I have the same sticks as your, mine is 2x512, so tell us ur bios settings pleaseee....
@TaPaKaH
I think its the mobo u have thats holding u back, i got 7x470 max with my E6300 week 29 and maybe Kakulukia got 7x478 with his as u can see in his sig
@BadThad
I read somewhere in the manual that says 4x1gb sticks wont work due to chipset limitation. So maybe u can read the manual first. I hope im wrong tho
BTW, i dont see any significant update on that 0804 bios regarding performance (chipset bootstrap thing) or any other bug (sound, pci-e etc)
-tam2-
i am wondering if the bios senses two GPU's and it is trying to run each at 8X even though the bus width is suppose to handle one core at 16X.
how do you check if it runs x1 or x16? the new marvel alliance game runs horridly on my system for some reason (7900 gto @ 710/800 and e6300 @ 3.3)
open up cpuz mainboard tab and post screen
see if it reports the same error also youll see your bios revision
http://img154.imageshack.us/img154/5...5952sa5.th.png
Same,sorry for Big one , high resolution
-it runs at 8x mode because the gx2 are in real ''sli'' in one card. (that is something about the pipelines, in short= 8x is normal)
-chipset= go to utility and download INF , u will find the chipset drivers in that file.
-4x1gb is no problem, the only limitation is that windows x32 cant handle 4gig (i thought 3.2gb, but there were a few windows tweaks).
how can i fix that 1x pcie issue ? video is x1900GT rev2
mine is the same revision as yours kwalker, but shows x1 not x16. which bios option changes it to x16? thanks
Recieved a new P5B today and i must say Asus did a great work on the chipsetcoolermounting.. :stick:

Thanks I found it. Which items do I want to install during F6 now if I am not doing any sort of raid?
-Intel Storage Matrix Drivers?
-JMicron Beta Drivers?
-Which chipset drivers?
go into bios and set everything to standard (not manual or auto Overclock)
reboot ito windows and see if 16X is re enabled .
if it is the you can reboot and restore your previus overclock but make sure its stable or youll revert to 1X.
I have only installed intel raid drivers.Quote:

You dont have to install any drivers during f6 unless you have raid. You can also install it after, in windows.

Just a heads up or whatever :) I have been running my 6300 for a while now at 435 FSB - and started two days ago to get some critical HDD corruption issues, thinking the NB might not be able to hack it, at least for IDE drives - unsure how SATA would perform as I only use those as storage and haven't seen any errors yet.
Bottom line I dialed the FSB back to 375 for now to see if the corruption issues stop.
i presume you have your PCI bus locked at 33 MHz?
Set ich volt at 1.057 and Vsb at 1.6V. THis may cause by the ''auto'' voltage.
I got an answer from Asus taiwan about my PEG@1X problem :
they have never heard of it :slap:
they only answered it may come from a pcie general malfunction
except that the mb works "fine" with a GX2 :rolleyes:
they really think we're stupid... :mad:
I solved my PEG@x1 issue by setting the PCI-E clock to 105. But now I've noticed another problem. My CPU scores in 3DMark03 and '05 are extremely low. '06 seems fine as does SuperPi. I did install the chipset drivers, but did the 0711 BIOS upgrade since.

That is not my question, I'm not a noob, but thanks for trying. The 965 chipset supports up to 8GB of RAM, that is fact. My question is SPECIFIC TO THIS MOTHERBOARD.Quote:

Hi.
I have a problem with my system using eiher 0614 or 0711 bios. whenever I do a reboot from Windows it also shutsdown, and the same thing happens when I turn my pc on. I turn it on, it shuts down for 2 secs then power up again, this kind of thing is NOT good for my hw which get stressed. I don't know what is going on. Do u have the same?
Another thing is that both 0614 and 0711 freeze sometimes when I want to change some settings. Especially when I try to get hardware monitor reading.
Anybody?
try 0804. Np with boot or anything.. Just that damn PCI-E 1x.. hate it. Limiting my oc
you are right about changing the pcie to 105. it now says x16 for me. i got a bump on 3dmark. now at 6918
n/m it reverts when i restart.
so the solution doesn't last ? :(Quote:

Start simple with a single drive and one stick of ram...see if you can't get that going first and get a feel for the board. If you can at least get it to post test the ram with memtest from a floppy as well. This board can be a handful coming from a LanParty. The first post has a link to some manual settings that should help get you going...Quote:

what is the max pcie you guys suggest? have any of you actually had anything fail at higher pcie speeds? i ran HDs for years on 37 pci w/o issues.
funny thing about that, it was out of the box, stable enough to install windows and run some prime at 400fsb.... then when went to play some HL2 it rebooted and wouldnt restart.
the thing HAS ALWAYS been slower then dirt to boot. *shrug* its got 2 raptors in raid 0, so when i do get it to post, i go to set the bios to accept raid etc... and it locks up before i can save. i have already installed windows on this thing, in the exact form its in....
and yes, coming form a lanparty board, this thing is a MAJOR pain in the ass....
i will be sure to try using 1hdd and 1 stick of ram as soon as i find a floppy drive XD (my dfi has memtest built in :P)
thank you for the quick reply, ill let you know how the memtest turns out

You lose your drives after a certain point.:(Quote:

No need.
As long as you’re stable it’s ultimately up to you.
Every system responds differently

@saber63
Try it even without the harddrive or any usb plugged in. Just try to get into the bios and see if you can get rid of the long post, because this board does not usually take long to post.
well i can get into bios now, turn out i have a VERY bad stick of ram (dont want to talk about it) i can now get into bios and windows, HOWEVER it still takes a longtime to post,
ive tried all stock settings (spet for raid setting) ive tried all sorts of stuff, not sure what it is. if anyones got any ideas let me know.
thanks for the help guys!!!!
levi
Are you using any of the mobo fan control stuff or do you have any fans plugged into the mobo?
pull the plug on the psu and clear cmos for a good 15 minutes and reset your bios where you were before your problem started.
you may have scrambled its brains:p:
Got same problem, stable with 410FSB .. but 415 no boot, tried to worse timing on RAMs, no go, not even lowering multiplier from 8x to 6x. Using last bios.Quote:

I submitted a ticket to Asus 2+ weeks ago on the PCI x1 issue and they have yet to reply. :mad:
P5B is an "okay" board IMO. Asus is kinda like Sony...you're paying for a name and reputation and high expectations usually exceed actual performance. My Infinity was a snap to set up and doesn't have any of these quirks we are seeing with the P5B...doesn't have the high FSB capabilities of 965's but I've managed some really good clocks all the way up to 423mhz on it which is plenty for E6600's and the memory performance 1:1 and using the dividers is spot on as opposed to the drop off you see once you go over 400mhz with the P5B...Quote:

Suddenly i can hit FSB 450 lol, of course with lower multiplier, but still, previously it was not stable even to boot, now its orthos stable ... weird mobo really.
Using the same bios and settings?
Setup:
ASUS P5B Deluxe
Intel Conroe E6600 Core 2 Duo
2GB Corsair XMS2 Twin2X DDR2 800
eVGA GeForce 7600 GT
Antec SmartPower 2.0 500W
2 320GB Seagate Barracudas (SATA II)
Holy moly, I've been through hell with this board. Maybe it's due to my own stupidity, but here's the deal: bought all this stuff about a month ago, and put it together. Mobo wouldn't POST. Tech support at ASUS told me to RMA the board for a BIOS update (to enable support of Conroe CPUs).
Just got it back today, still doesn't POST. I've independently checked the video card, the CPU, and the RAM. I guess the only option left is to get another PSU and check that as well, and I've already got one in the mail.
I'm just wondering if anyone on here has/had a similar setup and experienced any no-POST problems. I've tried numerous bench-builds, case-builds and (as mentioned) individual component testing. Unless the other CPU I got doesn't work either (I bought a cheap Celeron to test with) which I consider to be unlikely, I don't know what else to test.
Anyone with any information will be rewarded with my undying gratitude and affection. Well, maybe not quite undying, but it sure would help me out. :D
I think i see where the problem is > the memory. These mobo sets the highest SPD settings automatically. That means in ur case, DDR2:800>>pc6400, and that requires more volt than the 1.8 default bios value (maybe 1.9 or more).
Buy/borrow cheap ddr2 (like 256mb) memory, get in bios, set Vdimm higher, reboot with 2gig memory
i hope it works
Before doing that, try booting with just 1 stick.
damn tha t pci-e 1x.. Dont know what to do.. have tried 1,7 v SB and pci-e freqs
new p5b deluxe review here : http://www.hartware.de/review_640.html
well i found out the no posting was due to bad ram.
however it has always had the LONG post times... also every now and again on a reboot or power up, itll hang for a super long time then reboot itself and take the normal long time to post... this is with all stock or with oced
i have a few fan speed pluged in i diasble the ones without speeds (like cpu) whenver i can get it to post, which now is far more often. luckly the compy is going to try and fix my ram(i voided its waranty) but it will post and be stable at all stock setting as it sitts, i mainly wantto get rid of these long times before it tries to post.
thank you guys for the help! it saved me MANY hours of frustastion.

Might actually be interesting if I could read German :DQuote:

what do we have to do Vmod to run stock?:eek:
once you know how much it undervolts then you know how much to compensate with the manual bios settings.
Agreed.
now all I need is better ram than this un user friendly geil pc8000:mad:

this really are boards with character. really good for lots of people but then quite some people with kinda strange problems. when i got this this board and e6300 i couldn't come anywhere, maxed at 2.2g, that was with 507 bios or something. i thought i got the first bad chip or p5b-d, but then i flashed 711 and now i'm runing stable at 3.4 with 486x7 at 1.43V, which i am very pleased with, could pushed it more but thats for when i get the water. so i doubt i will upgrade the bios unless it bring something spectacular, like unlocking the 8 multi :slobber:. but many people don't like this bios but my mb does, so it's like wondering if all these boards are really all the same. so my bet is that the bios has the fault for this problems, apparantly each board has it's own favourite one :p:
I had a rock solid 24/7 overclock of 3.51 GHz for 3 weeks, orthos stable 14 hours, would play 2 different instances of World of Warcraft, until yesterday, when I found my machine to have unsuccessfully tried to reboot. After powering down/unplug PSU/reboot, I got the "Windows has recovered from a serious error" message. The third time this happened, it specified a video driver. Anyone else ever have a video driver go nuts and cause frequent restarts/BSOD's, etc?
I removed the old drivers using ATI's file removal tool, and installed the newest drivers, though I have not had time to test the machine. Anything else it could be?

I don't think unlocking the 8x multi would help you much (unless your RAM can't handle ~ DDR2-1000 speeds or your mobo can't do 500).Quote:

I have some MAJOR HUMONGOUS issues with this board,
1) Booting is so slow it reminds me of the good old windows 98 days
2) Sata drives are not hotswappable, even after correct install of windows and AHCI drivers(iaahci.inf and iastor.inf)which were loaded during F6 part of setup.
3) Sound is crackling like hell, sometimes even woozes and soundchanges
4) Detection of AHCI drives happens slow as well, and results in a tick once its found, as if its just starting drive at the AHCI port 1 bla bla detection thingie(and no this is not the double boot issue cuz I don't have that anymore, also fixed the link width bug)
Here are screenshots of HDtach to proof I ain't lying,
Below picture is from my WD raptor 36Gb, its my bootdisk and connected to SATA1 running in AHCI mode(or thats what I think),
http://tinyurl.com/yxcbrt
Note that my random access was around 9ms on my previous board(dfi lanparty sli-d), my bursts were alot higher as well, and so were my reads.
This is my second harddisk and its connected as a data disk to SATA3,
http://img344.imageshack.us/img344/7...xtormd6.th.jpg
Bios modes are set as follows, Jmicron = IDE, SATA = Enhanced/AHCI, only have one real IDE drive and thats my nec burner, its connected with normal IDE cable to the red connector located directly below the 24pin power connector.
Also have these two processes running all the time and I don't know whether or not they are necessary,
http://img344.imageshack.us/img344/7...tmondh7.th.jpg
notice the files called IAAnotif and IAANTmon, if thats supposed to get me hotswappability it sure ain't working. Besides, I can't remember a single motherboard for my entire life that required weird processes to be running in order for an end users to have Sata hot swappability?
These are screens of my device manager, maybe someone can spot where the error lies,

If someone of you here has a mobile rack or whatever and use the HOT SWAP feature then plz drop in and see if you can help me out this is really driving me bonkers. I even called Asus germany this afternoon and I am from Belgium so it was long distance, waited half an hour with the same tune and still no response, then I realized, WTF am I doing calling these noobs who probably know nothing about all these problems let alone ways to fix them.
I don't care about the audio problem, if maybe a soundcard would fix that then I can live with that but the hotswap not being there and drives booting slower then snails is not something I can live with:mad: :mad: :slobber:
Question is, if I swap this board for a different P5B deluxe will I have these same issues again?? I am running on the settings from my sig, primestable, cpu runs extremely cool(below 50°C), what else can it be but motherboardcraphola bugs or bad drivers or maybe there's special ways to install things that Asus doesn't even know about cuz their manual is like a guiding light through a cloud of mist, problem is there's no lightbulb in their light so people are stuck finding their way out of the fog alone.
im 100% stable and x1 hapens ;)Quote:

hmm cant say, i know my drivers have gone bad before from an OC.
Sometimes i get that error message seemingly randomly, perhaps it just happenend once and needed to be cleared... only way to be sure is testing again i guess.
those processes that are running are the AI programs that are on the drivers disc.
So are these IAA thingies needed, do they need to start up as a service or not? What about these slow access times and hot swappability:LOL: I don't think windows keeps looking for drivers, cuz I don't see any hardware wizard asking or installing new stuff when I enter windows desktop. I don't think there's a driver conflict, the real conflict is the driver itself:(
PS : Thnx to these slow access times my programs also take longer to open, how can something so simple be made so hard by people from Asus, on nforce all you did was install the SATA drivers from cd, no need to put stuff on IDE/AHCI or combination Jmicro Ide and SATA AHCI and stuff like that. Hot swap was there in an instant after you installed the drivers, now I keep waiting for the green arrow and nothing gets me the green arrow.
Sure I can put in my mobile rack, power down PC, boot up again and my mobile rack will be recognized, but that kinda defeats the purpose of having hotswappable racks:(:(
UPDATE : I have deinstalled both my soundmax program and the HD audio drivers and guess what,
http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/1...mentaf1.th.jpg
so thats random access time in windows problem solved, still doesn't solve the superslow boots though, cuz now my windows goes like 8 flickering bars across and my much slower opteron/dfi combo did that in 1 and a half bar's time. Not exactly C2D fast:(
But atleast I am getting somewhere, gotta tackle problems one by one, and thnx to Kakulu the word conflict made me realize that I had to start deinstalling :banana::banana::banana::banana: to see changes. So now onto the next problem and the next biggest issue for me is Hot Swap, if that could be fixed as well then I can happily live with a slower boot.
So all you thinkers, flock hether and save a damsel, eeerm guy in distress:)
-I presume u only use DVD writer on jmicron controller? If yes, set IDE mode in BIOS.
-hotswap: you dont use raid?
Which things did u install in F6 while windows installation?
If i were u, i would reinstall windows.
Go to asus.com and download that 1.1MB floppy driver for intel storage.
Copy it to a floppy.
Press F6 while install, select AHCI ICH8R!!!!!!!
Load the driver (u dont need to install jmicron while F6, my xp)
Now, hotswap SHOULD work.
- slow boot=
when does it take long?
In bios, intel storage ROM , jmicron ROM?
Good luck
my question= how have u solved the crackling of the sound?
-is it fixed after removing sound driverS?
I got my P5B Dlx Wifi board today :)
E6400 @ 3648MHz SuperPI benchable (456*8)
I have 2x1GB OCZ Gold PC2-6400 kit and it won't run any faster @ 2,4V, 5-6-6-18 timings. They don't boot @ 2,45V.
No big surprise but the mem is stopping me :( I will get some new sticks pretty soon i think.
anybody knows where you can download the newest ethernet drivers for this board ? I use the marvel miniport drivers on the asus cd but, my internet connection is there for like 10 minuts, very enoying :p . Windows says it`s a Generic Marvell Yukon Chipset based Ethernet Controller but I think it`s something else. I use the drivers from 23-5-2006 , version 8.56.1.3.
There is also a Marvell Yukon 88e8001/8003/8010 PCI Gigabit Ethernet Controller found , somebody know`s what the difference is between this one and the Generic Marvell Yukon Chipset based Ethernet Controller ?
Yep, only have 1 dvd writer and its connected with IDE cable to longish oldschool IDE connector, and yes set to IDE mode in bios. And no I don't use RAID.Quote:
-I presume u only use DVD writer on jmicron controller? If yes, set IDE mode in BIOS.
It boots tediously slow into windows, from startup to getting on windows desktop is 55 seconds something, on my previous board it was under 20sec, the blue loading bar goes from left to right atleast 8 times before numlock flashes, then it goes from left to right once more and then it will enter windows logon screen. If that is not slow then I do not know what is.Quote:
when does it boot slow, In bios, intel storage ROM , jmicron ROM?
to answer other question, I fixed it by deinstalling onboard sounddrivers(both soundmax proggie and HD audio driver), but thats not really a fix, hence thats why I mentioned what the cause was. But after a little bit more digging I found a confirmed fix for the crackling,
As taken from Asus forum, and I installed the drivers via a slipstreamed windows XP cd, I just added following lines to the txtsetup.sif under their respective headers,Quote:
Issue resolve!! (well, for me at least...)
I started to get audio issue with my P5B deluxe onboard audio right after microsoft update KB920872. This update supposedly fixes an issue with pausing and resuming audio with XP (which is a problem I've not encountered)
When I unsinstalled this update from Add/remove programs, everything went back to normal and the issue was resolved - no more crackling/popping sounds.
Here is a link to the "critical" update:

also adjusted winnt.sif so my drivers would get picked up on windows install by doing this,
OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_chipset"
so yes these drivers are being loaded, I even see my custom boot message come up during F6 part of the install, but maybe something went wrong. I will do a clean install and report back. Iastor.sys defenitely is in my system32 directory and its drivers are on my HD's as you can see from my device manager screens.
I was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas? (hope this is the right place to put this)
I have read all the posts, hints and tips.
I've got the p5b deluxe wifi, upgraded the bios to 711, with osz platinum rev2 2x1gb pc2-6400 sdram, and the E6300.
Everything booted up fine with the standards settings. I put on a new heat sink/fan on the E6300.
I am trying to overclock this setup. I can run the FSB up to around 430 and then no further. I don't seem to be limited on core clock, as I can lower the multiplier to 6x and still face the 430 FSB limit.
OSZ claims that this SDRAM should run up to 500mhz at 2.1v , so I suspect it isn't the problem.
I started with the setup guides on various sites.
I've played with the straps and they don't seem to have any effect.
I've twiddled the core voltage, NB,SB voltages and termination voltages, nothing has an effect. I've tried all the things i've read in the threads.
I do notice, as reported by others, that the NB gets real hot when I try to go past 430. I thought that the NB could be overclocked.
Is it possible that my board just won't run faster than this? When I look at the database, I see a lot of better results for the FSB. Obviously, with an E6300, I'm limited on the core clock to 7x.
thanks

hey I am just starting to do overclocking and I was wondering what is the best way to go about it? from what I understand the best thing to do is find the highest overclock you can do with the memory. for me it was ddr 800 with 4-4-4-12 timmings. Then I set the other options like pci clock sync (33.33), pci freq set to 120. after that I get a bit nervous. I dont want to fry my chip by changing voltages. I read the link in the first post on what to set the voltages and stuff to but I wasnt sure those would be the right settings for me. I wanted to get others input first. BTW I have a antec p180 case with the 3 stock 120 fans and the stock intel cpu cooler, also I have a 7900 gs running at stock speeds if that matters. thanks guys!
try to loosing your timings if possible so you can OC the CPU more, you should have no problem hitting much higher than 400FSB, so your memory will be preventing you from obtaining higher OCs.
Update on my problem, I ran a tool called "Intel matrix storage control", and look what happened when I plugged in my mobile rack, went to "ACTIONS" and clicked "RESCAN FOR PLUG AND PLAY DEVICES",

mysteriously enough my SATA drive popped up, but this is not yet resolved, no no no, I might be able to connect my drives now, but disconnecting them again is not possible(unless I do a hard disconnect which is usually not safe for data that might still be writing to the disk).
The following problem now lies in the fact that the maxtor diamondmax 10 you see there, my 6B200M0 that is in fact a drive that supports NCQ,
Click here for Maxtor Diamondmax 10 Datasheet
It also says my Western Digital Raptor doesn't have NCQ while I am sure it does, and thats probably also one of the reasons why I am not seeing that green arrow either.
But we'r getting closer to the core of the problem, if anyone has more suggestions lemme know, feels like I am the only one doing the digging here hahahahaha just kidding.....
Here's a full output report from that tool,

NOTICE that the SATA harddisk connected to SATA3 appears to be the only one to have NCQ enabled and weirdly enough this disk is also mysteriously faster than my raptor:) Its also a disk thats connected to a black SATA connector. The other black SATA connector however doesn't give me NCQ??? I feel like I am losing the plot here.
