The onboard sound DEFINITELY causes slow boot on almost every P5B D - you must be VERY lucky :) I have personally used w3 different ones and each had the same ass onboard slow boot thing that's fixed by disabling it in BIOS.Quote:

20 seconds? 30 seC? when do u start counting, before windows xp screen with loading bar, or after?
=================
Can any1 make clear which drivers must be installed during installation of windows vista?
I am getting a ''cannot find source DVD error''.
i'm using the intel matrix raid :shrug:
seems pretty fast here since i switched audio
Im getting a SATA DVD-RW tomorrow and I will probably get a sound card as the audio drivers are just so ****. I can't record in game sound because there is no sound mix thing so all I get is hissing. Same with DivX encoding.
**** tbh. Good board but a few ****ing annoying problems.
Asus. SORT IT NOW.
Read carefully what I said in my previous post here, you'll see that I haven't disabled my intel controller at all. I just run my two SATA drives off of these ports along with a single ATA harddrive(running as slave). So I am booting into windows from the SATA disk, not from the IDE disk. What I am concluding is that windows boottime is considerably decreased when using an IDE harddrive on the IDE connector instead of using a CDROM or DVDROM drive. Don't look at this as the entire boottime cuz thats not the issue here, detection of drives at clean boot happens very fast, what I am referring to with slow booting is actually the windows splash bars part(you know where you see the blue bar go across). Everything else before that happens superfast for me, as I am sure it does for most of you as well(atleast the ones who installed c_funs intel msm 6.2.0.2002-all.exe drivers to fix the slow AHCI detection at bootup).Quote:

A friend of mine has a moviepc, its an old socket 754 MSI motherboard with a 3400+ athlon, nothing is overclocked, everything bios default, he also has about 10 harddrives booting up, some old ATA drives, some SATA, few firewire and a couple of USB, now you would say that this comp would boot into windows much slower than mine when it reaches the SPLASH BAR part of windows, but nope, this PC beats me hands down, it will boot to windows in just 3 splash bars. So while he is slower at HD detection, he is still faster than me at the splash part????
So like I said, when using an IDE harddrive instead of my NEC burner my splash bar goes from 5 splashes to 1,5 across. Take away the IDE harddrive and gone is my fast boot, disable Jmicron completely and gone is my fast boot, replace my DVD burner on the IDE channel and again gone is my fast boot and its back to 5 splash bars across.
So whatever this problem is, this motherboard seems to like having an IDE harddrive running off of that single IDE connector, there's no denying that. So far I am a sole account, what I need is for other people to check this so you can start seeing similarities. Everyone probably has an old IDE harddisk lying around, would be very easy to disconnect IDE cdrom for a while, connect IDE harddisk and check to see if my story holds up for you as well. Just watch and count the splash bars:):)
It seems like everyone missed this post;).Quote:

I will test if 4:5 problem is solved for me with this @ 400 Mhz. Evidently the ram can do 500 Mhz 4-4-4-12-4-30-disabled-3-9-5-9 @ only 2.3V but refuses to work 4:5 with 400FSB.
Regards,

I think 4:5 is more of a chipset limitation then a bios limitation, the only reason for me to upgrade would be some sort of magic performance boost or the options to choose my strap settings.
GS Technician said that with 4:5 divider we must use 7+ TRD, and someone did try that thru memset, even tho i cant seem to find value that said TRD in memset (any info?im a noob). But mine works fine with 4:5 divider with elpida sticks. Currently @400 cpufsb and 500memfsb 4-5-5-14-4-62-12-12-12-12 @2.3 v. Maximum tested DDR1020 with 5-5-5-15

Could u show us your SPI and/or SiSoft Sandra mem bandwidth results from the one that u got by clockgening up from 1066strap and from the other one u got by booting straight from bios @the same fsb?Thanks

Cappie - probably what happens is Windows has drivers installed so it looks for stuff that should be on those devices. Try this, uninstall the IDE controller in Windows, then disable the Jmicron and see what happens. That chip is crap.
I know what you mean about fast boot on "simpler" computers. I gave my old P4PE/Pentium IV 2.4ghz, 1 gig of RAM, Radeon 9500 pro, to my mother for her office. It has two IDE drives and DVD-ROM attached, it boots in like 2-3 bars. What's funny is the system drive I gave her is even more ancient, like ATA 66, out of an old 1999 Dell. It doesn't have that much miileage on it, I used it in the Dell for like a year then it was intermittently used as storage and sometimes sitting in a box...
Alls I know is Vista boots a crapload faster. I hardly like booting into XP anymore...Anyone want to compare Vista load bars?
it has to be your hardware!...my P5B boot's up very nicely with SATA 1 drive.
vista is a pile of crap once you get to the desktop....is that all you are complaining about is boot time between Xp and Vista?

Now to figure out the timings and mem clocking behaviour for this board.. my first 965P based board since i mainly used P5W DH and D975XBX Badaxe rev304 before heh.
Question, OC profiles are they meant to work properly ? i tried once to load an OC profile after a cmos clearing, but it didn't boot after i exited bios until i powered down pc and booted back up ?
Nice post Eva, informative and thorough as always, much appreciated.
Unfortunately I don't have an answer for the OC profiles question myself.
Thats a good tip, will try that, thnx:)Quote:

asus needs to work on its bios. on this newest version i have issues booting and restarting. sometimes it hangs detecting USB devices. other times it takes forever to detect IDE drives. sometimes it says CPU fan error for no apparent reason.
i just put some copper HS near the CPU HSF where it says 'heatsink' on the motherboard and has holes, but no HS there. i am running at 480 w/o orthos errors vs before where it would error. either that or it's cooler (but my room is only 4 F cooler though)

From what you described regarding he addition of hte ATA making your boot go faster, this leads me to belive that the only PCI device that is actually mainly effected here is hte Jmicron chip.
If defrent combination yield diffrent results, i would say its either a Jmicron bios issues or Jmicron driver issue.
look for latest drivers of Jmicron i'm on 1.17.4
101 at pci freq do not work here after a reboot:(
Thnx C_fun, I haven't even thought of updating that driver, never knew there was a driver needed in the first place, I must have installed it though cuz I ran the checker on the ASUS motherboard cd and I think it installed the jmicron driver from that. So I am probably running a very old driver. Will edit this post if I have some results.
EDIT : It appears I never installed any Jmicron driver and I don't think its necessary cuz look what installing v1.17.04 did,
http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/4098/raidcdromnk5.jpg
now my IDE nec burner is listed as a SCSI device, and its just connected to an IDE channel so giving it raid drivers probably isn't going to help:)
PS : the second SCSI device is normal, thats just the daemontools virtualdrive and thats allways listed as SCSI!
Ya, don't install the JMicron driver - it will jack things up and sometimes force PIO mode on your burners. JMicron is just crap any way you look at it - it's almost worth jumping on the 680i bandwagon.
i got the same results but daemon tools was instaled before i installed the Jmicron drivers by mistake... will my performace be worst now?? with the Jmicron driver installed from the cd i mean
yeah it fux up your cdrom drive, will load up cd's much slower as well once installed, but after deinstall everything seems fine. Don't care really as i'm going raid tomorrow, so whatever is fuxored upzored will be fixed in the process:) And if raid ain't working to fix my boottimes then I will slap a nonformatted IDE harddrive on that IDE channel, get a SATA dvd burner and be done with all this crap:LOL:
after a clean install and using the audigy2 card, i'm getting less than 2 cycles of the windows loading bars every boot :woot:
does anyone now how to set Marwell Youkon to 1000Mbit full duplex ? cant change to anything but 10 100 and auto sense and i get really crappy speeds uploading to my other comp = (
I'm getting very close to ditching this crappy onboard audio!Quote:

Hmm, I have 26c at idle at auto volt/no overclocking, with CPU at 1.5, I get in the low 40s at idle..
Is there a recommended max temp/voltage limit if your CPU is at full load for about eight hours a day? I remember with amd64 venice cores it was 50c/1.65v if you wanted to keep it for a year or two, is there something like that for the core 2 duos? A rough estimate before I burn mine to death would be cool. :)
Keep it under 60*C (Core Temp) and you'll be just fine

My config:

I have tried 2 other sata hdd drives and one sata2 drive, same error. I have also tried another DVD rom and a CD-RW ROM (all IDE) same result. I have one pair of the momory and I have tried in in both dual channel banks and single in all slots.
Really, It can't be this hard to install XP on a SATA from an IDE drive can it?
I need help, as I have no idea what to do next.
I have tried everything in BIOS but nothing seems to help.
THe XP installation is XP Pro with SP2, I have also tried XP home with the same result.
Im desperate.
what PSU are you using? and you also might want to try with different memoriesQuote:

Can two new memory modules really be DOA? They seem to be correct configured in BIOS.
I very much doubt its his corsair giving him problems, its the single most compatible memory for P5B deluxe, built a system with it for my mate and booted flawlessly. Maybe try installing windows with just one stick alternatively, also make sure Jmicron is set to IDE mode and disable all unnecessary crap in bios.Quote:

I suggest you either clean your windows cd very well, or burn a new windows xp cd, cuz from my experience jmicron is picky with certain cd/dvd media, my mate's pc is troubled with that too and I have to supply him with latest mediacode that allows him to read my cd's properly. He can read most, but certain stuff I can read fine, he can't, and on my PC everything reads fine. So its probably a combination of Jmicron being total CRAPHOLI and cdrom device not being compatible. Your cdrom device might have worked fine on older boards but Jmicron has a diff agenda:)
I have tried installing with one stick. tried each stick in all four slots, no luck. The jmicron is set to IDE and the sata drive is on enhanced ( I have tried combination too).
What unnecessary crap should I desable?
Anyone with these memories that can give me their working BIOS settings?
hi, will the cnps9500 led fit on a p5b deluxe without any problems?
And how you fit 1MB rom on 3.5" floppy disk? cause if i create DOS bootable floppy disk i only got 880KB free, so what now?Quote:

Am I reading this correctly, do you have SATA mode set to enhanced AHCI?? If so are you installing windows with the F6 method and are you loading the proper AHCI drivers from F6flpy32.exe? If not try installing windows with SATA set to pure IDE. Otherwise try my other suggestion above, diff media for your windows XP cd.Quote:

Why is this Jmicron controller such a :banana::banana::banana::banana::banana:? I mean if a cheap $70 motherboard can install XP on a sata drive from an my IDE ROM why can't this damn board do it?
Actually i just copied older bios on diskette, run ez flash by alt + f2 on boot, choosed older bios, reflashed with it and its fine :) no some afudos.Quote:

Sure Jmicron is crap and we all know that here but it might still work perfectly and it does read everything fine on my comp, so do as I said and make a backup of your windows XP and try some other regular cd's. You cannot exclude anything if you don't try every possible angle. Like I said, I have to use certain media for my friend as well or certain cd's/dvd's will give him errors similar like yours. In your case its a combination of old cddrive and Jmicron, I am sure your :banana::banana::banana::banana: will work fine on other boards but just not this one. So either burn a new cd and save 30$ or buy a new IDE drive and be done with all hassle.Quote:

This Jmicron driver is b0rked IMO.
@Xitar: try doing what i did and Update driver. Select No, not at this time and click Next then select Install from specific location and click next, then select Don’t search. I’ll choose the driver to install (from a list). You will see two options there, “JMicron JMB36x Controller” and “Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller”. Select the later one, “Standard Dual Channel PCI IDE Controller”, click next and allow the Computer to do the rest.
Jmicron driver is not borked in that it isn't a driver meant for IDE devices, that driver's sole purpose is to have raid running from the Jmicron sata's. Xitars problem has nothing to do with drivers but all to do with how Jmicron detects media attached to it. Jmicron just isn't fully compatible with all ATAPI devices and in particular cdrom devices, its as simple as that. If you read my post above you'll see that it is however 110% compatible with ATA133 harddisks(even the slowest 2MB cache of the lot). So if you come back in this thread after you've tried a different cdrom device and you tell me everything works then I will know enough. Then it can only be INCOMPATIBILITY due to badly built jmicron controller. Intel controller is simply flawless, it took a driver update but now its just splendid.
The Jmicron may have been built for Raid, but the fact is that doing that isnt an option on P5B Deluxe, on this board the Jmicron was put there for one reason only: To control IDE drives.
Bad choice of controller from Asus then.
oh i see... guess you have to whip out a floppy drive :)Quote:

one other thing!...try increasing your Vdimm to 2.1 for your corsair memory to make sure it is getting enough voltage for them to work properly.
oh yes you CAN! just check the option in the configuration of the flasherQuote:

is this a store bought XP install CD that you are talking about making a copy???...if so, i presume you have used it before to install???

I was able to save the rom file to the root of c: on a ntfs hdd and could get to it with the bios utilityQuote:

Thank you i missed that one.Quote:

Cool thanks for the test, i may update after all!Quote:

Still the same error. I hate this jmicron controller
Don't know if its been discussed yet, but I was having a problem with cold boots over 400 and think I may have figured it out.
Symptom: After cold boot or occasional warm boot after changing fsb or memory timings, system would not post. Keyboard lights up, then 1 long beep followed by 3 short ones.
Solution: AMI Beep codes say thats a memory error above 64k. Actually it maybe a memory problem, but its cause by some combination of PCIe, VCore and FSB. Lowering PCIe fixes it right away (I have it set to 96 with no problems). Other fix is to raise VCore, problem with that is I would have to raise VCore roughly .375V over its stable point for any given OC. I tried this with two cards (albeit identical EAX1900 (X1900XTs))
My system:
E6600 (tried E6400 too)
G.Skill 2gb ZH
P5B-Deluxe
2x320GB Seagate in Matrix raid (0 and 1)
Xclio 600W Greatpower
This was a HUGE pain in the ass for me. I nearly rma'ed my G.Skill HZ (which I may still do if I can't get it to 500 at any timing, thats a different topic), nearly RMA'ed the board, etc. Got to eat lunch now, wanted to post that.
What bios are you using?Quote:

I received a new demo model PC at work today that had a e6300 L629B in it. I figured i would "borrow" it for the weeked before pulling anymore hair out and if it works i will just order a new one and sell this POS on ebay.
To my amazement...

It was the chip.. this was on my 2nd boot. 1.4bios/1.33-1.34 actuall 2.25v vdim and all other volts were still set auto.
FYI not using AS5 just some crappy HP thermal paste for testing.
more to come.

Don't know about that. But I can't get any smart info (other then temps) in speedfan with my matrix raid setup. (2x320gb Seagate sata)Quote:

BUT of course I CAN NOT copy the files from the CD to the hard drive in MSDOS because MSDOS is unable to initiate any working drivers for the damn IDE ROM.
Really, this motherboard was the worst buy I've ever made. Never ASUS again. (Probably Jmicrons fault, but ASUS could have picked a better IDE support supplier).
boot up #3 with 629b e6300 (literally the third time i booted)

Dont get me wrong im no asus fan boy, this is my first asus mobo in years but coule things are bothering me.
Guys you can thank Intel for mobos that use Jmicron, since they removed Pata support from ICH8 not Asus! from what i gather (i could be wrong) Jmicro is the only controler that can utilise a optical drive, that means that mobo makers are forced to use it with p965 chipset
on another note, for ppl with slow boots, why do you care so much, do you reboot all day long and need it to be fast, as long as its fast in windows, why a bar or two extra are such a big deal, i have been into and worked with PCs for many years, and been OCing since before celly 300a days, and i dont remember such a speed boost as this one from newer gen cpus, ya im annoyed that i got to unplug my machine for every boot cause of the pcix x1 prob, but when it boots its bloody fast, my ultra-d didnt wanna boot for like 10min after i shut it down but i still think it was the best mobo till now.
I managed to get all the windows installation files onto the hdd. So I start up the new system with the single SATA drive connected and the jmicron controller disabled. SAME ERROR. Must be a faulty motherboard right?
You using the 804 BIOS ghettotech?
@ghettotech,i have a l629b as well.what a champ of a chip.mine will do that 3.5ghz too,and it does 3.2ghz with the vcore set to 1.25v in the bios.
i reckon these l629b's are pretty sweet.
http://loader.sc0rian.com/users/publ...36pi35p197.jpg
at same 3.5ghz as yours,nearly identical score.is your ram running at 1000mhz 1:1?.
mine is 0804 bios.
yesQuote:

Have any of these issues with the new bios (903) been fixed ?
PCIe 1x ?
Slow Boot - On Board Sound ?
400Mhz & 4:5 ?
edit: To ghettotech.... how would work know the week of the chip they got? Its not like your work is going to oc them right? Ya know... they look very similar to me. Be careful otherwise you might mix them up ya know.... ya know ?
