tried 94 to 105 from clockgen from windows and no results, i also fixed voltages for Nb and Sb, and i definitively have this problem because i realised that in everest it says Type of Bus :PCI Express x16 @ x1. WTF? i cant understant this, this mb is cool but this thing sucks! i cant understand why asus has never fixed this thing! at least i know isnt the memory, its strange but this only happens when more than 430 FSB
What bios are you using?Quote:

now i put 90 pci-e and i put higher voltages ( i didnt need them to be stable) and everest marks @X16. I launched a game in which i had sound corruption and lag and it seems to be fine for the momment. I will be testing it.
PD: i put the latest bios 1226 and i had the same problem with the pci-e X1 and i put back this old one because i cant boot past 440 FSB.

bios 1226 has an OC problem.
PS: There is a way to fix the x16 with bios is 1004. but, evry time you edit the bios it will go back to x1. I would go with bios #1219
Anyway, updating to 1219 is worthly apart from that?Quote:

I have BIOS 1226, no OC problems at all...
Got my E8200 (Q746A513) running at 4GHz (8*500) @ 1.328V! :D :D
I love my mobo!!
That is interesting laragirl83,Quote:

If I wanted a P35 or later, I would buy it. I have set up several computers with a P35. But, for my system, I see no reason to change.
Let's be clear. ASUS bios never solved the PCI-E x1 issue, this is not true. It is a hardware limitations fixed in new PCB releases. I tested two P5B Deluxe, same C1 revision, one old, the other new. The new one, doesn't have the problem. Note also taht it is not a NB revision bug, as many C2 boards also have the problem. It is suerely a problem in the PCB design or elsewhere.Quote:

My two cents, live with unplugging the power cable when you reboot, or RMA it, you could get a new PCB bug free
I agree about your fix. But, I have not had the 1x PCI-E issue in over 8 months.Quote:

our friends at BE have discussed the subject quite extensively too.
BTW with my setting I've worked out the pb too and never ecounter it.
Chuckbam!
My bad, u were right, this 1226 BIOS really is a piece of :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:...!:)
Now I went back to 1219!
Running now 7*550MHz@1.272V!! :D
Will see if its stable!
So far so good!

the 1219 version doesnt support the wolfdale cpu's as i read in the Asus page. And as i see in other sites, the 1226 its perfect for wolfdales but bad for conroes, i cant OC more than 440FSB with 1226 and i have now 505 fsb with 1004 with the same configurationQuote:

buy one and put it in and find out.Quote:

I have a question for you: i heard that the P5B deluxe FSB cannot go over 460 in a 4GB ram system. Is that true?
I have 2x1 gb ram, P5B deluxe with FSB 470, e6300@3,3 Ghz...and I'd like to take a 2x2gb ram kit, but i don't want to slow down my fsb......
Thank you for your answers.
Thats a joke:)Quote:

Thax for the good new!!!! What is better, 4x1 pr 2x2?Quote:
