Hmmm,I think those mBioses are way too good:p:
With asus 1406 I can clock my E8400 to 4Ghz with nothing lower than 1.28v,but with Ket's 1611 I can hit 4Ghz with only 1,23v:up:
Ket,as I said before,keep modifying:cool: .Your mBioses are great:clap:
Are people going to start jumping off bridges if I suddenly stop making them or something then? :p:
There is a chance.......Quote:

You can burn the bios file onto a CDRW disc, use the built in flasher in the bios.
Or install XP on a spare HDD or something.. only ways around that.
Which is the best mBIOS for a P5Q Pro? Can i install it by Asus BIOS update tool without any risks?
Thank you so much!
.............
Somebody want to field that one? I've answered it so many times in this thread I've actually lost count :p:
read the thread guys comeone. as far as the windows flashing tool, dont use it. They are a tad unstable and its real easy to kill your board using it.
I always used such tool. Before I bought my first Ausus mobo, I was an Abit fan, and so the uGuru Flash, as the Asus Update tool was working perfect. I flashed about minimzm 40-50 times with these utilitys, and never had a problem with them. Only this last time, but this is because of the rom. I must say I am more afraid of flashing BIOS with the BIOS integrated one, bacause it is a MOD BIOS flashed in yet, and dont know, if that wouldnt take care of my mobo with a raw deal:(
Ket: Dude I dont wanna install Xp, neighter Vista32bit, cause I dont have any drive for that, and on the boot drive is x64Vista at present, and its a bit comblicated and not sure to install there a nother OS, I dont wanna screw my MBR.
The built-in asus bios flasher works fine with the modded bios, just burn all the bios images onto a disc, reboot into bios and flash, power down and clear CMOS after successful flash.
Installed sucessfully! It was the 1613m on a p5q pro, Thx. Before start to test the pc i am on 1.3vcore in BIOS at an 8400@4GHz
I have this 2x2GB RAM http://newgskill.web-bi.net/bbs/view...desc=asc&no=98
And i'm a bit confused of it. It's a bit clocked to 445mhz (same to BUS) at 4-4-4-12 clocks, 2.1vram. But i get some BSOD showing: "PFN_LIST_CORRUPT" (i search and it's related to ram) and some games get frozen (i dont know if it's cause the game or the ram). Anyway i tested it with memtest and no errors appeared.
In everest bench i get this, and i think is no normal, but i dunno:

*KET* Why must you lose your patience with some of us? I do agree, most of the what you call, "NOOB QUESTIONS" are repetitive, but there is 61 pages to this post, going thru all of those pages is crazy. I myself asked above very nicely and got a "shoved to the side" response. Why? I asked if the 1613m bios is currently your best choice for a Bios for the P5Q-PRO. I understand that BIOS act differently from PC to PC, but in general, is the 1613m bios optimal? I can see you have some great followings here with your BIOS'es, and that is why I would like to try 1 out, and I didnt think it would hurt to ask for opinions before I flash my board with it. I did read a good 20-25 pages, starting from page 61, and im still utterly confused as to which 1 to use. Just looking for you to give some of us some slack. Relax man, I'll buy you a Budweiser Select tall boy:up:Quote:

Otherwise, your kinda flying blind and theres no advice anyone can really give, you simply just have to try it and find out.
Do you reckon adding the missing MOSFET heatsink (like the enzotech copper one) on the P5Q Pro board is worthwhile?
The other P5Q boards including the vanilla P5Q, Deluxe and Premium all have that extra heatsink on the very top of the board...
sorry if this is a muppet-like question, but what is the difference between mBIOS and BIOS? I have P5Q-E BTW.
@stealthbomber...I am watercooling my P5Q-E soon but only for aesthetics. you dont need any additional heatsinks for The P5Q range :)
mbios - modded bios. they are modified by ket. they allow better over-clocking as they combine memory tables (and more goodies) from other bioses that arent necessarily p5sQuote:

Is there a "FIX" in any of these mBIOS'es that make the 400 strap usable? and possibly the PCIe MHz fix? I like to run my PCIe @ 110MHz, but this board takes a sh*t after 101..... Damn it ASUS!
Hi Ket!
I tried the methids you have suggested, but I still cant flash 1501 BIOS for P5Q. Thanks god I could reflash the vanilla 1611 with the EZ flash in BIOS, but that dose not suppport BIOS downgrade, so I cant flash BIOS-es before 1611. I formley uninstalled The win based flash tool, because I thought I would be able to install the earlier version of that, wherewith I meant to flash the 1501, but the installer faild to initialize the setup, so I thoght that it dosent support x64 or x64Vista...now its turned out, that not the OS is responsible for this, beacause I cant reinstall the lastest( previousley installed and working ) version of Asus Update tool, for the same reason, the installer fails, and I read the waning message, it says that this is not an Asus motherboard, it has some problem with the BIOSinfo.dll...any suggestions?
...i successfully installed the update tool, I cleard cmos data, and so the installer worked. But there is a nother problem, with this I still cant flash other BIOS versions, then 1611, not even the vanilla 1511, the error message is thishttp://kepfeltoltes.hu/view/090110/B...toltes.hu_.jpg. So I uninstalled the Asus Update tool again, and tried to install the earlier version, which is said to work, but at this time the installer failed again. I restated Vista, cleared CMOS, but is dosent worked, it refers to an NT service miss( It 100% incompatible with Vistax64 I think now ... ). Not even the installer latest version of Asus Update tool was willing to work( again that message that this is not an Asus board ), so I restarted, and cleared cmos data again, and this time I managed to install the latest version, but I dont mess around with these from now, I had enogh of it now, and I feel lucky, to install this at all. Any ideas of flashing the 1511m or 1511m v1 are welcome, but it is dead cert, that I dont uninstall the Flash tool again...
It can't hurt. Check my sig., I have installed all the heatsinks listed on my Pro and it really keeps the temps. in check. Note that I use the Thermalright sinks on both sets of mosfets, but that Enzotech sink looks good too, being all copper with tall fins. Any of these aftermarket sinks are much better quality than the supplied sinks as well. I say go for it:up:Quote:

I know companies detune or make bios's that make a board not as overclock-able so you are unleashing some potential I am just wary of switching to a modded bios just to get a better clock
The danger involved with using a mBIOS is exactly the same as using a vanilla BIOS, ie; the risk the flash process might go wrong. The chances of this are very small however and recovery is quick and painless. In the worst case scenario simply put a known "good" BIOS for your board on a floppy disk (doesnt even have to be bootable) and name the BIOS AMIBIOS. (or was it AMIBOOT? its one of those anyway :up: ) after a few minutes and a coupe restarts you'll be looking at the POST screen.
Nice thread for BIOS Recovery procedures
Ok this is about if the flashing procedure fails, but what about me? In my case the flashing was successful, but I cant flash any other BIOS-es no more, cause something is not correct with the BIOS checksum, or some ID ot whatever, so the Update tool cannot identify the rom files correctly, or I dunno..but I get warned with any other BIOS-es, that the rom is not compatible, except the 1611 and the 1611m. I wonder if there will be a new release for P5Q, could I flash it or not?Quote:

From what you told its only one I didnt tried, to flash with that earlier( 6xxxx or something like that ) version of asus update "fool", but to do that, I need to install an Xp, which I cannot, cause I dont have any free drive to do that. The other methods you have suggested didnt seem to work.Quote:

I'm using P5Q Deluxe. I was thinking that maybe I could give a shot for modded bios and try one, but is it ok to update bios with Asus Update?
now i have 1703 bios on my p5q-e so i need to know why ez flasha tell's to me that bios is older ? i know that 1406 older and my is newer but how i can downgrade on 1406?Quote:

Nice pictures :up: (couldnt think of anything else, but some recognition had to be made on you fielding the mass of the same questions that keep being asked past 2-3 pages ;) )
First, i want to thank KET for your awesome work.
my main reason to try your bios, is to avoid the damn wrong temps the official bios reports.
i have OCZ reaper ddr2-800 ram, but when i installed your bios, the MB recognizes the ram as ddr2-1066, and i have everything in auto.
My questions are:
- should i leave it like this? or must i force it to 800?
- will the kit support this "OC" from 800 to 1066 without problems?
i'm not OC fanatic, so i want stability and durability if this thing will become a bad thing in the future.
Im having the same prob with you,even with the modded bios.The cpu temps are damn wrong(102C at 1.26v:rofl:)Quote:
Originally Posted by cachirro

that's sad news, i thought that with this bios, the stupid 100+š error would disappear.
how do i know if they are stable at 1066?
rofl...these are the type of posts that make me go to overclock.net and never come back for days on end......Quote:

I've only flashed my bios once and it was using the memory stick option......If it doesn't correctly flash over, Ill just be screwed with a nonworking pc until I flash it back? Because some people are posting that once they switched, they couldn't get it to flash to any other normal bios
Its nothing to worry about. Without specific details I can't say anymore than that. Once again it all boils down to each system behaves differently.Quote:

Ket, I have to give you thanks for making a great BIOS for the P5Q-E. I was running a Gigabyte GA-X38-DQ6 and couldn't get my Q9450 above 3.4 with every imaginable setting. With the P5Q-E and 1703m BIOS, I'm running a stable 3.6 GHz with less voltage. :D
NP. I like making things go faster :D
Maybe a silly question, but how come BIOSes for different boards have different size? Difference between 1mb and 2mb is huge imo...
I might give these a try, can't get the FSB stable at 450, unsure if it's the motherboard or a compatibility issue with my memory, P5Q-E I hoped would at least do 450fsb stable with my Q9950.
Just make sure that your memory is on the QVL and there shouldn't be any issues. Some of the later built Q's also have nasty FSB wall.
i confirm that the wrong temp (100C plus) is also in this bios :(
ket: do you know anything about this?
Its a calibration problem, right now I don't have time to go ripping things apart to find where asus have stuffed this, so probably best to bug them about it.
Ket. How optimized are the bios you've been modding? Just curious to know.
It may be hard to meassure "optimization level" on BIOSes.... check the first page, you'll see what has been modified and how that should improve things.
thanks :)Quote:

If you have 2 bios chips you might try what I did to recover from the horror that is 1703 (i have the p5q-e). If you don't want to upgrade the bios on your backup chip then remove the backup chip from the left socket and start on step 5.
there are a lot of steps but they are very simple. i found this easier than tracking down old versions of afudos and such and i don't want to install any of asus' windows software unless i really have to.
1. remove the right bios chip (active, 1703)
2. move the left chip (backup, probably 06xx) to the right socket
3. install a safe, known good bios (704m for me)
4. remove the backup chip and replace it with the active chip originally found in the right socket
5. boot your computer and be certain it's the 1703 bios. we're going to nuke it so be absolutely sure of this!
6. start ez flash and begin flashing the same bios installed, 1703 in my case.
7. turn the PSU switch off after the bios is erased, just prior to it writing the bios.
8. install the backup bios back into the left socket.
9. start your computer and watch the backup kick in and flash itself to the corrupt, active bios chip
10. delete all occurrences of 17xx from your hard disks and flash drives while you curse asus under your breath
Curious. I've had absolutely no problem with the 1703.
Okay, I'll take the bait. Why is that hilarious to you. I merely want to know how well the code is put together. Is it sloppy and slapdash or is it elegant and in order?Quote:

Oh well...I will be waiting for new bioses and see if they help break the 500FSB barrier.
Sadly, the mBIOSes are not magic pixies, they are just tweaked. For some they are great, and for the minority not so great. I think your only the 2nd person in 63 pages to say a mBIOS didn't help :D
Too much people just aiming for cpu clocking, and i would say that 95% of mbios's advantage is for memory clocking; even my crappy A-Data 800Mhz CL5 does 1050Mhz 5-5-5-15 55 PL8 Stronger 5:6 1.82v BIOS set (0.02-0.06 overvolting)Quote:

If a system won't boot @ stock you probably have
A: Not enough voltage being fed to your memory
B: One of your memory sticks are bad
C: The mobo itself has a fault
Well I hate to say it but it depends on what mobo you have, if you have the pos p5q pro then you wont get above 500fsb (maybe 1 or 5) on this board. I have only scene one or two rare instances that someone got like 520 or something like that. These boards are limited by asus.Quote:

@ MADMAX; P5Q Pro is not a POS, I've had both mine doing 540FSB :D I think the biggest problem is cooling. Slap a real copper HS on the SB and things change dramatically. ICH10R is very sensitive to heat.
Yeah I shouldnt say a POS, it actually works pretty good just not for ocing high fsb. 540 is pretty good. Highest I have scene with after market cooling or not.Quote:

Hi all.
I'm looking to get a P5Q on thursday to replace a pos MSI P7N Diamond that crapped out and died on me.
Has anyone had any experiance using the mBIOSes with the following or similar setup?
q6600 g0
4gb (2x2gb) OCZ FLEX II
9800GX2
Thanks in advance.
I'm now thinking about changing my BIOS again, official 0803 and Vista x64 => no way to get 2x2GB stable...damnit!
I have that ram in my P5Q-D running nicely.Quote:

hey i Have for 2 Weeks waited to get Cler for Tybing in this Tread
First A Greate Tanks Kent For The P5Q-Pro 1613m bios
it works fine With my Ocz pc 8000 5.5.5.15 at 2.2v
and its not on the stock qvl list
its a serios bord with That bios
i am now able to run 500x8 stable with my Q9450 at 1,4125v
my old Mobo was A Maximus formule Flashet to Rampage but i cudent reach higher than 475x8 for 3 weeks befor the NB went dead
i have tryed 525x8 and i think with a lot of V. and litle luck i can run stable at that speed as well but Q9450 is a Head Monster i think the head without Compressor will kill my cpu at 525x8
Ther is onley 1 thing that is A -
my 2x2GB post in bios as 3GB not 4GB but wen its Load in to vista 64 vista says it has 4 GB ???
the bios says dual channel 3000 MB ram but i think its onley youse 3GB because Everest say i am yousing 45% ram on the desktop the same 2 bloks on my maximus onley Yoused 35%
mabey its a stock problem with the mobo i onley run the original bios under my first vista instal ond after that i Flash to you'r bios
i dount think its gona be a problem for me ill wait for delevery of 2x1GB OCZ pc9600@1200mhz raper Flex rate warter Cooled
in a few weeks i com back and Tell How It runs wit That
but a Greate Thanks for the M-Bios :clap:
ps. right now i onley run with the orginal Sb. head sink + a 40mm Fan with sb. 1.3v is that ok or do you think i have to get that on warter 2 . the cpu and NB + GFX is on warter and it all runs fine for gaming for now
Couple Enzotech MST 81s, plus the S1L and S1 and theres your new (vastly superior) cooling for your mobo. I picked the Pro simply because it had everything I needed.Quote:

Got it with the bootable KodaKey tool :)
So you prettu much dismounted the whole cooling system? Interesting tho.Quote:

I have also been bolting the sinks on (with plastic washers for insulation) for better contact than plastic push-pins can provide.
I have been pleased with the Thermalright heatsinks I have fitted on my Pro but I intend to put an Enzotech lp sink on the sb as I couldn't fit a Thermalright HR-05 on it. I'm going to use a few packs of Enzotech's excellent copper ram and mosfet sinks on my GTX280 along with the Thermalright HR-03GTX I have purchased for it, far better than the thin aluminum sinks TR provides along with that stupid vrm plate.
Going off-topic a bit there:p: Back to your M-Bios, I'm going to take the plunge and flash my Pro with your latest 1406M Enhanced. It sounds like a good one, and I'm looking forward to replacing the stock 1306 bios on my two month-old board. I'm also going to switch back to my set of Team ram to see how well they run with this. I will post my findings.:cool:
I hope the BIOS works for you, I still haven't had time to test it as I'm busy starting up my own business. If things do go bad the floppy recovery method will sort you out in a jiffy though :up:
