ASUS P5E64 WS Evolution - Tips, Tricks, Mods, BIOS, OCing & More...

Hi guys, I scanned through the thread and did see it but i didnt check your sigs to see, but have any off you had trouble with raptorsX on this board. I cant seem to get windows to install in raid0 with INtel, Marvel, or on a single raptor. Im installing windows as we speak on a Samsung spinpoint F1 (at the format point) but raptors a no go. I know the raptors are good, I get the blue screen that terminates windows due to virus, drive controller, bad faulty drive and suggest i do a checkdisk (Ill do after).

Any ideas.

Camo i striped the board down and mimicked yours with the Ek, thermalright, zalman.

got one raptor going... strange, running xp on it now, try to get the other. then will come the OC questions

reason i asked was some find that the P45 have problems with the raptors.

I do not have a good luck with 0504 BIOS:
with 0115, 400:800 can live 1 hour in p95-blend
with 0504, 400:800 can live several hours, but ends up with a sudden frozen death...

And with 0504 it seems that my QX9650 cannot run at FSB 333...(a quick BSOD during or after windows boot)

Could someone tell me when each divider can be selected?

Shadewither do you have load line calicration set to "auto" ? Sounds like it, got same here with 0504, set it to normal and try again.

here is a spi32M at 600FSB ram900 cas7 2.04vddr http://images4.hiboox.com/images/270...92d85dbce4.jpg and Everest BP at the same settings

Cpu-z 1.46 reads memory frequency incorrectly here :shrug: I had to open the previous to get that fixed...

Anybody else having issues running ATI 4850/4870 in crossfire on this MB: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=193370 I know he at last gave up getting it working properly. I wonder is it a general problem or an isolated one?

I still haven't heard from pmp concerning the "LLC set to Performance issue" but I sure have it still - very annoying. Now testing LLC on Normal to find out how far that will bring me - not as far as Performance I know.

Has anyone tried to flash P5E64 WS PRO to P5E64 WS EVO?

Thanks!

Is it possible to get another new bios for this mobo ??

Holmer i'm working on it. Be patient please.

ok, no worries, I'm just in a bad sequence of unpleasure you know how it goes...

Me too thanks a lot pmp, I will be more patient. I see you/Asus are also working on the 48xx CF bug. Your job is highly appreciated.

:D Seems almost every chip does 600 FSB with the 0504 BIOS - just threw in my new E3110 (notice the Vcore !!!:shocked:) :

:welcome:

:D No special config - only replaced my 8400 with the 3110 and lowered the Vcore.....:ROTF:

With a FSB of 445-450 (multiplier on 9) i get BSOD's or major graphics distortions imediately when starting a game (Oblivion, Crysis or COD4) even though it is Prime blend and Memtest stable for 20 h +. Using 432x8.5 everything is fine in games. However, 8x450 is also fine so it seems like my CPU/motherboard can not handle moderately high FSB and CPU speeds. Very annoying. I set LLC to Auto. I spend a lot of time trying to tweak at around FSB 450 to get the most out of my memory but it is a no go. Any ideas what is the problem/what I am doing wrong?

:rolleyes: Try to change the RAM divider - different dividers = different strap.

Not all straps are running fine with the 0504 BIOS...........;)

Thanks I will try that, I always used the 1:2 divider. What about changing FSB strap manually? With the previous two BIOS I tried the 400 strap and it was very unstable so I always use the 333 strap.

Got this board yeasterday, and just so extremely happy with it. Totally different experience then Striker II Extreme. And now I am about to get some chipset waterblocks for this MB. So far I would go with:
EK-NB/SB 5
EK-NB S-MAX
EK-Mosfet ASUS 3a x 2

But I would also like to watercool the (B) chip next to SB (C) and it looks like it has its own mounting holes - and I know its is not really necessary - but it would just make it complete :) I tried to search and even tried to measure but can't find any block that would fit the mounting holes around the B chip...

Any ideas what WB might fit there?

Thank you

@camo and TT. Nice fricken clocks guys. :up:
This seems to be the board atm. for ddr3 and extreme overclocks. Too bad its $370 :(

this made me laugh out loud. So its basically a cut down P5E3 premium right? I can get P5e3 premium on newegg open box for $100 less thats why i ask.

I don't have these boards, but I considered them and now I am waiting for the Rampage Extreme as I hang out with a DX48BT2.

Comparing to a P5E3 Premium...I see 2 main advantages unless you are planning on using 4 video cards...

*Might be higher binned chips for WS reliability so they may be overclocking a little better on average. You have probably seen more overclock results to compare the two.
*Board Layout is much better for Crossfire.

vs...

*More Phase regulated Vdimm.. I don't know if it helps with the memory overclock on the P5E3. You probably need to check some ram overclocking results as well.
*Wifi

Don't know if those are posted already, but here it goes:

Some voltage measurement points for the P5E64 WS Evolution:

Nice results here guys :up:

Over in the P5E3 Premium thread 600fsb seems to be almost the norm with the newest beta. It looks like it's the same with this one. Asus has definitely found some tweaks they are rolling out across their X48 lines. Perhaps somethings from the Rampage Extreme..
