do you guys think it will ever be possible to have the multiplier unlocked above instead of just down?

do you guys think it will ever be possible to have the multiplier unlocked above instead of just down?
Are you saying you are getting 0,8 times across, as in not even a full bar across??? I am assuming you mean 8 bars across? I gone and got myself a soundblaster audigy SE and damn, bye bye fuxored up sound, slow boots and welcome back hair follicles:)Quote:

My problem is I need AC97 Frontpanel as I am using it. Will it not work if I change to HD Audio front panel??
My boot time is 15.25x on the blue bar.
mine's been on HDAudio since day 1, i've always wondered what made it so slow to boot, i might have to buy a cheapo audigy/audigy2 for now :(
i can't even use bootvis cos i have a 64bit os
I just bought an new OEM Audigy SE from a guy for $16 shipped - that was my solution. Fast boot here I come! It sucks, but I don't have time and patience for ASUS to fix this (if they ever do.)

Run bootvis and let me know if it helps!!! I'm kind of curious. Who knows it might optimize the loading of your sound software/drivers.
You guys that are having problems with windows loading time please run bootvis and let me know your results. It dropped me from 5 progress bars down to less than 1!
Bootvis LINK: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=664
My audigy and bootvis brought bars down to 4,5, lower I cannot go yet, but maybe its cuz my disk is slower, I have old generation raptor and you have the 150Gb one:) Still 15,5 or 4,5, major difference!
I would consider 4.5 to be perfectly normal. Bootvis is the coolest thing I'm telling ya. glad to hear it fixed your bootup problem. I think this is a microsoft problem rather than an asus audio problem. Bootvis is microsoft's own utility for fixing there crappy boot configuration.Quote:

Or choose Matrix Raid with small crazy fast Raid 0 volume and the rest of it with Raid 1, minimum 2 drives though.
On "fresh" installed XP and with "ALL" drivers installed including sound, 2 NICs, 1 Wifi, firewire enabled "AND" without above BIOS sound trick, with 2 7200.10 perp drives, I got "half" blue swipes, yes, not typo, not even single . swipe :D. PS: P5B-Dlx with crappy D805, not even C2D ! :D

Are most people using the 0804 bios? I am having an issue trying to use 4 SATA hard drives, and I am using the 0614 bios. Thinking this may help the issue.
i did recomend using Bootvis, read my comments again u might have missed it.Quote:

(if you have a consistent boots of 0.8 that ios really intresting.)
to Cappie,
any change from HD Audio to AC97 in the bios for the next boot will make it a fast boot
since at that point the audio driver ARE NOT loading, and you will see it once u are in windows u will be requierd to REINSTALL them. (that is why you got a quick boot one - becuase the drivers didnt load up)
to Headshotwi,
I have run bootvis, and always do affter i'm making any drivers / start up programs changes. the 8.5 blue bars result is AFTER bootvis did its work.
to Bing,
I had that once before as well with a fresh installation of my Nforce4 ulta (Abit Fatality board) how ever it doesnt last for long as after you install your few first programs it get to around 4-5 ones agian.
if others are able too boot at 4.5-5.5 bars with an external sound card, this means we should be able too, once the drivers are fixed.
From my understanding 4.5-5.5 crossing bluebars for boot time is VERY good an normal and i woul expect that eventually witht eh ASUS drivers.
NOTE : I did mention that now that i'm gettign 8.5 blue bars for ther first 4.5 bars there is HDD i/o activity i see the led flashing, for the rest of the blue bars that are going i see no HDD activity, this IS the indication of a PROBLEM. without it i was doing 4.5 and this "hang" of HDD doing nothing is a result of hte AUDIO driver.

All i can say is WOW and good for you :clap: , i hope this is after your system is loaded with your start up programs and functions as an operational system and not just as fresh install with no s/w on it.Quote:

Anyway, this problem is way beyond bootvis's help.
I'll do a before and after stopwatch boot as soon as my soundcard gets here.
C-fun on my DFI lanparty SLI-D I had 2,5 splash bars, and this for months on end, all software, drivers, updates and hotfixes installed, no matter if I defragmented my drive or not I had 2,5 splash bars(note that I used bootvis then too). So asus being stuck at 4,5 is just plain pathetic, maybe people see it as nitpicking but this comp is now supposed to be much faster and in terms of HDD performance I have gone backwards even though my HDD's, GPU and PSU have stayed exactly the same. So why on DFI so fast and on Asus so slow?
This is a fresh install of xp, fully patched, with office 2003, 4 games, utilities, acronis, benchmarking stuff, etc.... So yes this this is not a synthetic test. Its my everyday system. Some of you can knock bootvis and I know microsoft says the tool is not meant for end users to decrease boot time but i swear to god as my witness I read about it somewhere here and downloaded it and ran an optimization. It rebooted my machine once and it went through less than a single progress bar before launching in to windows. I have been using it for 5 days now and I have been shutting down my pc every night(to break in my AS5 with thermal cycles) and it still only takes less than one blue progress bar.Quote:

Has anyone found a workaround for the pci-e 1x problem? I find that anything over 379 FSB causes it to boot with pci-e set to 1x. Once this happens I have to power down at the psu and clock it down to 379 to go back to 16x.
I tried booting at FSB 370 and then using clockgen to raise it to FSB 420 but it still gets stuck in 1x mode if I use clockgen on startup.
Its very noticeable in 3DMark2001, at 379 FSB I get a score of 48-49K. At 380 FSB it drops to 35K.
So...
15.25x blue bar while booting with Audio
Disabled HD Audio for kicks in the BIOS...
2.5x blue bar while booting.
Are there any problems with using an Audigy?
To folks with Corsair Twinx 6400 C5...
This is Corsair's reply:
Original Message »
Currently there are issues with the P5B motherboard and manual settings with CAS 5. Asus is in the process of a BIOS that will resolve this issue.
Well, they could at least give us some good manual settings, crimeney!
Oh and Bootvis optimization had not effect on my boot I can see, aside from the fact that all my startup stuff (ATI Tray Tools, DAemon Tools, Skype) popped up faster I think. Can't do anything about that 20 sec sound driver load.
does the Corsair 8500C5 have problems????
I'm using an audigy now but can't comment yet, haven't tested enough to make a full statement, tomorrow or the day after I will put back my clean ghost(one that hasn't got any audio drivers or soundcard installed), then I will install audigy again and test again. Cuz my tests now are inconclusive with my windows being polluted with this asus crappy software.
wtf? they took it off the microsoft website!:mad:Quote:

The point is that i was only using CrystalCPUID, TAT, Orthos and CPUz to test my overclock. Once i could not push the FSB anymore, browsing i found Speedfan to watch voltages...
Well, there was an "AUX" temperature reading 127C in speedfan!!!!!!!!! Oh my god!! i went into the bios and set default and auto values, my overclock was gone for god's sake...but at least that AUX temperature should be much more less..... WRONG!!!!
It is still reading 127C as i am typing this!!! I did some research and found out that this AUX could be the Northbridge.
*****EDIT****
Just to clarify, this AUX temperature is not the SYSTEM temperature shown in AI Suite or PC Probe 2.
SYSTEM is at 34C and CPU at 41C.
The AI Suite, PC Probe 2 and Speedfan agree with CPU and SYSTEM temperature readings, BUT SPEEDFAN SHOWS an EXTRA "AUX" temperature reading of 127C!!!!
*****EDIT****
There is plenty of air circulating in my aluminum case, plus thermaltake Blue Orb 2 cooling all below it including northbridge heatsink.
So is this temperature normal? It is the same with or without overclock.
Could anyone of you please download speedfan and check what your AUX temperature is???
http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php
Thank you!!!
that aux temp is normal man, mine is 119:) And Psyire I will have your answer later today!
@Psyire, just put back my clean ghost, installed audigy drivers, ran bootvis and my bootup now takes a max of 5 splash bars, sometimes 4,5, no more crackling sound, before I had access times of about 19-22.5ms, now I have 7.8ms. So after about 6 tests one can defenitely say that Asus and Soundmax still have alot of work to do(Soundmax wrote the buggy audio driver).
Well, what kind of problems have you experienced with your Corsair sticks? I have a 6400 C5 kit as well and at the moment they are running fine at around 800Mhz and 4-4-4-10. Maybe my problems with reaching higher than 400 FSB are related to memory issues after all...Quote:

I didnt notice where to change the multi in the BIOS, am i missing it?
CPU tab, enable modify ratio support.
it should be under "CPU configuration" under the "Advanced" tab...if you do not have ratio support available to adjust then update your bios.
Or use cpuid to change it in windows.

Oh in the BIOS enable that option then :D Thanks
hello,i just thought i'd say hello to you p5b'ers,and say i will be joining you soon.i am getting my p5b deluxe tommorow and my chip(e6300) nxt week.
i will be using my nicely oc'able D930 for now,which in my p5wd2 i run at 4.2ghz with my fsb at 280 and ram at 933(using divider).i am hoping i can run my 930 at this speed in the deluxe until i get the new chip.
Hi loc.o i am just a newbie, but why you just did 12.65% overclock?
Hi and welcome :toast:
Not a particulair reason tbh, it just ran at 3ghz when i made the screenshot :D
Wow, that is quite a difference. So long as no other 'new' problems occur, an Audigy might be the answer at the moment. (it would be nice to know if Asus was even working on getting new sound drivers)Quote:

For me Prime is useless on Core 2 Duo.. 3807MHz 1,43V 5h stable(stopped), but random errors while gaming, sometimes after 5 minutes! For full stability at gaming i must use 1,48V!
I've a new problem - board clocks back to fsb 322!
i fixed everything in the bios to fsb 400 and it worked fine... but after some time the whole system just jumps back to fsb 322... This isn't just a measuring fault, superpi goes up too...
"My solution" is a windows clocking tool to drag back the fsb to 400... but this can't be the solution... i mean... wtf?

Guys I have a question about temps.
I HAD a ds3 and was getting temps using coretemp around 40 idle 53 load @ 400x8 @ 1.425vcore
I now have a p5b and I am using the same 400x8 @ 1.425vcore but my idle temps are about 41-43c and my load temps climb to about 59/60c. First of all is high 50s safe?
Also I have tried removing my scythe ninja and remounting it taking great care and properly applying as5 per there instructions(thin line of gunk down the middle).
I have noticed that coretemp and the asus probe software report different temps. Coretemp and probe show the same temps for idle however under load coretemp never climbs higher than about 55c however asus probe hits 59/60c. Which one is more accurate?
wow that is terrible. You have a sound card or using on board sound?Quote:

Yes we are referring to blue bar cycles.Quote:

Its not only the onboard audio thats causing it to be so slow, I am supposed to have a much faster comp now and I cannot get below 4,5 splash bars whereas my older system would boot on 2 splash bars(same raptor disk used, same programs installed under windows and even used onboard audio on that DFI board of mine as well).
So its multiple issues that are causing this slow boot, we already know onboard audio is a major factor, but there's still another UNKNOWN factor causing this slow bootup at the splash bar part of windows. I am sure that once this is found we will see 3 splash bars and lower.
Ok I guess I'll reinstall my audigy card, I really didn't want to as it will sit practically touching my graphics card, I've also noticed problems with some programs locking up when digital output and DTS are enabled, this seems a common problem as my friends crosshair motherboard wouldnt run the nalu demo with it enabled eiher.
Cappie can you disable your 1394 controller and any unused network ports and see if that helps with your boot speed? Some of my testing is showing that it does. I want to cross reference with someone. Please also run another bootvis optimization afterwards.Quote:

I am stuck @ 2.765ghz 7*395fsb with my e6400 and p5b-d.
I cannot get over 2765 and stable no matter what I try. I was running some Gskill GBLA ddr2-667 and i thought it was holding me back. I recently bought some Supertalent and I know for a fact its not holding my OC back at all and i still ahve the same problems. I have also read the info on the Strap and stuff but since i am running 395 fsb i dont seem to be affected. I have also tryed 400-450fsb.
I have tryed every voltage possible on board (Sb/NB/FSB/chip) and up to 1.625v on the chip to try and get it stable @ 3.2 (which is way lower than i already expected to get). I have followed the guides that are posted and have everything disabled on the chip except the 2 recommended enables and PCI-e set to 101 (have tryed a few different settings).
I am really starting to pull my hair out. I really didnt want to fork out $225 bucks for a MB that is not performing up to its name. I really dont think its the CPU since the other 626A chips i have seen are performing great.
Any ideas on what to do? Sell the the MB and go with a DS3? Try another chip? I am lost......
Thanks in advance

thx, that was the problem... i think... i disabled it once, had to reset the bios and forgot about it.Quote:

hello,
i got my p5b deluxe today,i have updated to 0804 bios.
i am using my pentium d 930 till i get my e6300 nxt week.in my old board(asus p5wd2) i used to run it at 4.2ghz@1.3375vcore with ram at 933mhz using a divider,280 fsb.
the problem is i cant get this board to run at them settings or even my safe oc for this chip.which were-4ghz/270fsb/1.3325vcore/900mem/5:4 div.
unfortunatley i am using the onboard sound with the newest 4070 un certified driver.
i hav disabled the firewire/serial port.do i need to disable the lan2 as well?.
can anyone PLEEZ give me any tips on getting this 930 to oc in this board?.do i need to up the chipset voltages on this board?.i ran them on auto setting on the p5wd2 as i dont really know about how much to up them.
pleez can someone help.
i have used bootvis and i have a raptor drive. i'll try disabling sound and lan, but i do use the firewire so i don't want to disable that. actually i don't want to disable anything, but i'll try it to see.
Disabled GBE lan or something now, 1394 was already disabled, and after bootvis splash bars dropped from 6 to 5, cuz for some reason or another I couldn't maintain the 4,5 splash from before. But still, 1 splash bar less with that LAN port disabled.Quote:

i disabled second lan and ran bootvis again and am down to "just" 10 bars vs 15 before. i also disabled most things in msconfig.

Corsair XMS2 800
Antec Nine hundred Case
I have problems when booting up. it goes into windows and restarts.
does the x1900 all in wonder have driver issues wiht it, because so far, everytime i install those drivers,even the new ones, it causes that same problem
i am using XP Pro Sp2
also, my USB ports are not detected at all. I never knew this borad was this bad, my 975xbx is so much better, booted perfectly 1st time..
Hi all,
First post but long time reader. I have always managed to find a solution by reading the threads but this time I am stucked.
My config is as follows:
- Asus P5B Deluxe wifi with bios 0614
- E6600
- 2GB of Corsair twinx C4
I had managed to overclock it at FSB = 450MHz and CPU multiplier at 7.
Everything is stable, everything is on auto except the Vdim, and SB as well as the RAM time set manually to 4-4-4-12 as per the ram specs.
The other day I noticed that there was a new bios, the 0804. I decided to flash it.
Big mistake. When I rebooted, the system did not post. I had to switch the PSU off, then on again and load the default settings. With the default settings the system boots but obviously I am not happy with that. So I downgraded the bios to 0614 and reloaded my o/c profile. I was expecting it to boot. That's what it did but as soon as window xp loaded, the cursor froze and the window welcome sound kept playing in a loop.
Now for the weird thing. On this machine I have a dual boot with windows vista RC2. With the same o/c profile, vista boots with no problem and I can use it the way it is meant to be used. No freeze, crashes, etc...
I am suspecting the sound chipset on the board because vista is using a different driver but I could be wrong.
Even if I reboot xp and lower the FSB to 400MHz, the cursor still freeze and I have the sound problem.
I have not changed anything on he board so I was wondering if anybody here would have an idea.
Also another question you guys might be able to answer is that my FSB is set to 450MHz and the mulitplier to 7 which give me a 3.16GHz for the CPU. Now I have used a few tools to read the FSB and the CPU clock and all the tools are telling that my CPU runs at 4.05GHz and the FSB is 578MHz. I have used the intel diagnostic tools, CPUz, Vista Device Manager, etc...
All are reporting a 578MHz FSB and 4.05GHz which I think is correct since my idle temperature is 46-48 degrees and load around 55 (if heavy load).
My cooler is a Zalman 9500.
Thanks for your answer guys.
@ghettotech
mine is also l626a, currently stuck @470 with ddr667 sticks elpida chips (1.4875 vcore n 2.25 vdimm, other 4 voltages below vcore in auto). So try not to set those voltages too high @400+ (other than vcore and vdimm)
And there is another guy in this thread who stuck @430 with better chip and ram. So i cannot sure whether its the chip or maybe the board is holding back.
-tam2-
Emistral - with 614 there is an option in the audio settings to set it for "Vista," which is gone in 804. I remember if I didn't set it it still worked though, except for the mike. Try that...
Will try that however i am basically stuck @ 345 with tht stock multi no matter what voltage. My goal was 400-450 but so far i am just disappointed. I will more than likely buy a DS3 to test. If it works out then the p5b will go to ebay.Quote:

Hi all,
well I did more tries tonight and when I have the welcome logon screen, the mouse cursor simply freeezes. This is not even accessing/loading windows.
I am completely stucked now. I have tried all the voltage settings: max them one by one, set on auto, readjust the memory timing, etc...
I even set the memory timing to auto (SPD) but still left the jumperless configuration to manual with a 450MHz frequency and sample problem.
I disabled the audio in the BIOS, same problem. It just freezes before loading windows. This 804 bios screwed up everything.
But the weird thing is that the same overclocking profile that used to work stills work when I boot vista.
Pretty funny.Quote:

hi guys i found this on the asus forum,hope its of some use-
Hi p5b,
I have managed to get the new audio driver 4580 from puzzleman in another thread about sound probelms. You can get it from here.
It is not the full install package. To install it you must go to device manager, expand Sound, video and game controllers.
Then you must right click on SoundMAX Integrated Digital HD Audio , then click on update driver and then browse to the location of the downloaded driver (At least that's what I did). Everything so far seems to be working pefectly EAX is enabled and Windows XP boots alot quicker.
Good luck and let me know how you get on.
here is a link to the file-
[HTML]http://rapidshare.com/files/2634578/Audio_Driver_4580_W2K_XP.rar[/HTML]
THX it works perfect.Sound OK- Boot 15 sec. faster
awesome will try when i get home after work. when was this driver released?
sorry guys i have no idea were it came from.i found it on the asus forum.
any ideas why my d930 wont clock as high in this deluxe as it does in the p5wd2.
i'm getting my e6300 on monday anyway but i'd ave liked to run it at 4 or 4.2ghz till then.
i can give you a link to were i got it from if you like?.
anyone seen any updated x64 drivers ?
The inf file says DriverVer = 09/08/2006 so it looks quite old, I wonder why asus haven't updated the official drivers yet.
yeah the latest ones i found were 4570 dated 07/25/2006 :(
ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/misc/audio/ad1988/
TI66ER how did you enable EAX? I see no option, also no soundmax console, maybe I shouldn't have totally uninstalled the old soundmax drivers first :/
not even a post beep with your settings.Quote:

I tried booting in safe mode as well with the 450Mhz FSb but still the same problem.
It simply freezes either on teh welcome screen or if I pass that screen, when it start loading windows, it simply stops.
And this problem does not appear in Vista.
Last night I flashed the BIOS with version 0711 and same problem. I used the o/c profile whre the memory timing are set manually (4-4-4-12) but this time I set the memory to 350Mhz. It worked. I have to increase slowly the FSB again to find the max.
By the way, all the voltages are set to the max except for Vcore set to 1.6V. C1E is disabled as well. I am stucked and don't understand how a bios update can stuff up everything. well done Asus !
And the worse and when flashing back with the version that used to work, it does not work anymore !
well turns out the usb not working was b/c i had a gamepad that was dying and wreaking havoc. new sound drops my load substantially to about 3-5 bars now vs 15 originally
The new 4580 audio driver seems to be working nicer for me as well. Not extensively tested yet though. Just boot times and navigation around windows has improved. (unsure about the other issues)
(From 15.5x to 8.5x on the blue bootup bar)
Dont know if this is offtopic:
Do i have to own some digital speakers to use the onboard sound or can i use my analog speakers?
I cant seem to get any sound when i use the onboard, so im stuck using my audigy 2 LZ.

The driver came from Asus Rep, and its NOT official Release.
the 4580 Driver will work only as an upgrade for 4570 DTS drivers that are already installed.
you need ot go to device manager->HD Audio SoundMax, Driver Tab ->and choose update driver-Then point it to that directory that contains the files.
I can confrim that it shortens the boot time, and it looks like the boot problem is allot better.
i still feel that browsing through folders isnt perfect. I still feel that without hte audio drivers i'm having a quicker overall feel with the computer.
I had undergone a massive computer crash (used partion magic , and never recoverd from it...so i started fresh.)
i'm still bulding the system.
Hope you guys can continue to be on the subject till its fully resolved.
