Been running with LLC enabled with Core voltage of 1.3375 at FSB460, 3680Mhz. Not a great cpu, but usually stable with the occasional win32.sys bsod in xp-64. Max temp under Intel burn test is 72.
Now with 1406 bios, i've ventured higher to a setting similar to rusty, shown below:
I idle at 41 deg, and max out at 75 under the Intel Burn test.
Running Prime fft it maxes out at 63.
Is this too much voltage for 24/7 operation? I have it set for speedstep, and usually the CPU doesn't go above 50 deg.

Man you are really pushing hard on the volts... too hard to my liking... try the above and try to OC first with 4gb of ram, 8gb with these speeds could be pushing it...Quote:

I have virtually the same rig with mushkin redline (except with 8800gt) and have been using the 0803 bios for a long time because everything else was very unstable!
Thanks in advance!
*Oh and i'm 24/7 stable at 3.6 @ 450fsb
I dialed it back a little to 465FSB.Quote:

Anyone know if the SB and PCIE SATA voltages overvolt like vFSB, vPLL, and vNB when set to AUTO or default voltage?
Don't use Auto as it increases it too much. Well at least it used to. Just bump it up one notch so you have fixed voltage instead Auto. That should do it.
Hey guys, first post here. But been reading a lot.
So got:
* P5QDELUXE REV 1.XX 1406 bios
* E8400 (C0) @ 3960 Mhz
* Crucial Ballistix PC2-8500 EPP 2x1Gb
* Noctua NH-U12P, with 3 chained NF-P12
* Arctic silver 5
Im aiming for a 24/7 system. Seems pretty stable so far. Tested with Prime95 and LinX.
A little hot tho.
idle:
MB 41
CPU 23
Core1 35
Core2 35
100% load (LinX 13000 x20):
MB 44
CPU 58
Core1 63
Core2 62
Any idea to improve stability and reduce hotness?

K mate I compared ya settings you got from Mushkin, seems to me they really want you to relax timings...I compared them with the timings set by the AUTO function of the bios (in bold)Quote:

I just put AI clock twister to Moderate and got this slight improvement, with Static read control to enabled the rig didn't pass the linpack test :

So there's still some bandwith to go for mate !
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
I really don't know what the hell is happening with my pc... Vista keeps crashing, even after passed prime95 stability test :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
Already tested with two sets of dram sticks, so it can't be from there I think...
Going to format it again and this time I'll stick with XP Pro SP3 instead of Vista SP1 and start the tests all over again :( :( :( :(
I'll start the test in XP with these bios settings:

Try a linpack test mate, it will prolly give errors... prime isn't 100% bulletproof, neither is Linpack but it's stresses harder...
Try this :
CPU Voltage: up a bot more Vcore eg 1.4 to try it out
CPU GTL Voltage Reference (0/2): AUTO
CPU GTL Voltage Reference (1/3): AUTO
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.56
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.24
DRAM Voltage: 2.04
NB Voltage: 1.26
NB GTL Reference: 0.62
SBridge Voltage: AUTO

Also put in TRFC to 55 and Disable SRC
30 cycles of Linpack at max memory, should give a pretty high confidence of stability...and it completes in a fraction of the time an 18 or 24 hour prime95 blend does...great Linpack interface here. I've found if my box lasts 30 cycles of Linpack, prime95 never finds any issues running 30+ hours.Quote:

Been there, done that mate... With the same settings above, and after 50 runs of linpack this is the result:Quote:

as you can confirm at this post in the previous page: http://www.xtremesystems.org/Forums/...postcount=4420
Regarding to your settings suggestion, I'll try them out as soon as I install XP Pro SP3 :)
With Linpack at max memory all I get is a Linpack program crash :( Had to choose one of the other options, custom, to test 1500MB of RAM...Quote:

Sorry, I should have mentioned that...by max memory, it's the max memory you can get away with without linpack crashing...the available memory calculations on the interface are still off...so you have to dial it down until it works...Quote:

Known limitation of the Linpack proggy in 32bit OS environment... choose either half the ram or a custom value like you did... I would run HCI memtest on your rig too or some Hyperpi 32Mb... second option : either your cpu is burned in and might need a tad more vcore or something else corrupted ya Vista install... hope the XP is working flawless... I still love my Pro and Pro 64 ones...Quote:

Hi guys, I'm getting one of these P5Q Deluxe's this month to replace my year-old GA-X38-DQ6 and as I've read so far, she likes G.SKILLS right?
I'm putting on her all the components of my sig. Any BIOS voltage advices for Q6700 3.4Ghz 24/7? Much appreciated :)
Cheers all.
Ok been on here lurking and trying to figure this thing out. My components consist of an E8400 stepping C0, P5Q Deluxe, and 2x2 Gig of Corsair Ram. I have been really struggling with this cpu for some time now, even with my old P35 Platinum P.O.S MSI board. The cpu is crap and very unstable @ anything ove 4 Ghz. Here are my current settings that are actually stable for quite some time now. Could use a little more help with the advanced settings such as NB GTL, FSB Termination Voltage, CPU GTL etc. I have tried some of the settings recommended here but as you will notice my voltages are quite a bit higher then most. I know I can lower them a bit if I can understand what these other settings actually do. thx:up:

I don't see the logic behind your settings, you tell us you have no clue how to setup, so just pumping voltages seems to your solution...Quote:

Try the above settings and look for stability, remember more volts is not always better !!
Your CPU Pll is totally whack so is ya FSB term voltage... NB voltage is overkill
Just start with those settings and report back what it does... first look for CPU stability then tweak the ram...
Ehh, Those are really wild voltages :shakes:Quote:

Well well, I've found out what makes my system BSOD on cold boots -- it's because of my external HDD connected to the eSATA port! I noticed the other day that that every time the system BSODs upon boot, I could hear the external HDD was active. So I tried disconnecting it the next day, and voilá! No BSOD. So I've come to the conclusion that Windows BSODs when the external HDD (WD MyBook2 1TB) turns itself on, which happens when Windows is half-way done loading. When the system reboots the HDD is already running, so Windows loads fine. I tried enabling boot ROM for the Marvell IDE/eSATA controler in the bios, but that just makes the system hang after POST, and will not boot until I've restarted the sytem around 3 times.
So yeah, after all this time spent trying to figure out what it was, it was the damn eSATA controller. I guess my only option is to buy a PCI controller and use that instead? I'm a bit disappointed that this Marvell controller is that bad, because I hoped it was better than the Jmicron controller that was on my previous motherboard (but alteast that didn't make my system BSOD!).
Asus seem to be breaking a lot of things in BIOS releases to date, try my 704m for your board, its about the most complete un-bugged BIOS. Due to the mods I have done to it as well, you won't be missing much in the way of compatibility and fixes (that don't break other things :D)
