"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

if u cant boot with ahci enabled try this setting in registry before going to bios and switching to ahci mode:




1. Exit all Windows-based programs.
2. Click Start, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER.
3. If you receive the User Account Control dialog box, click Continue.
4. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Msahci
5. In the right pane, right-click Start in the Name column, and then click Modify.
6. In the Value data box, type 0, and then click OK.
7. On the File menu, click Exit to close Registry Editor.

go to bios, change to sata ahci mode and restart

Hi everyone!

I tried to OC the RAM in P5Q, but I did'nt got much success. I tried with such modules, that ran in my buddys mobo on 1200Mhz with 2,2V, but I dont even hit 1150 with any voltage. I tried with 2,3V as well, but it seems to be over at 1100, so i think I set something false in BIOS. I dont know every options here well, because it's a lot of them. Could you write me a template wich options and how to set, to get the highest clock out of my RAM-s?

It's really easy. Just set vdimm, choose FSB you want to run giving you the desired ram speed and that's it.

EDIT - look back one page I did a SPI32M bench at DDR2-1300 MHz on 2.24 vdimm.

Try Ket's modified biosses Little man, ask first in the Mthread for the better bios for your mobo... think you are bios limited here... he added extra ram compatability (found on the high end series)

Thread is here : Ket's mBios thread

Thnx for the moded BIOS thread, I will try it, but in the last case, caus I dont wanna flash my BIOSto the heavens, if there are some problems with the issue, my whole mobo could die. I meant that the limit by 1100 is because of something incorrect setting, there's a lot of options which I dont understand, like static read control, dram read training, mem OC charger, AI clock twister, and in transaction booster settings these pull in phases, az CPU/ NB clock skew as well, they may influence the OC of the memos. I left them on auto, but I think the correct setting may help the break the 1100 wall, or may they not? :confused:

Did a bit more SPI32M testing. This board is pretty nice. For the 542 FSB/650 MHz runs I used 50ps delay on the ram channels to aid stability, and it only required 2.24v (DMM Measured). The NB hits 47*C under full load which is quite good since I don't directly actively cool it.

it most likely could be your ram, even though it used to be overclocked more than 1100mhz on a different board, but it simply won't be able to run at the ram speed on this board.

otherwise, you should get ddr1197-1200 at 375/400/450/500FSB at the least for both 2x1GB ram kit and the board would also do the same with 4x1GB of ram.
this was the ram overclocking ability on the p5q-d that i used to experience with it.

mem oc charger should be set to enable, however, you will need to try it out, you may have to disable this option.
the rest of setting in p5q-d's bios, this includes dram clock skew and memory timing settings never seemed to help me much in overclocking ram.

What program do you guys recommend to control fan speeds? The AI Suite software does not do a good job.

Quick question... I took that Asus cooler off some heatsink up top as it really doesnt even get warm to the touch without it. However, that fan was plugged into the CPU fan header and now on reboot, I have to press F1 to get past this. Is there a way around this without using that loud fan?

You have to enter the BIOS and change the CPU fan setting to "ignore," that is what worked for me.

I missed that setting... I will check it out when I get home.. Thanks!

Try Speedfan, or get a 5 1/4 bay controller.

1702 BIOS for P5Q-D seems to work fine.

i couldn't run this Gskill 8GB ram kit at 4:5 on this CPU FSB before as it gets some memtest errors no matter how much volts i put into NB, RAM and the rest.

ok im finally stable after a month of hard work and resets and xs forum crawling

config passed the fft test for 7 hours and blend for 4 hours, i stopped both tests and called it stable, i didnt even have to RMA the ram, theyre stable now at this clock, heres the config for future reference to anyone who might need it

thx everyone , its an honor to be a part of this community

cant give you pre-1702 but here are readings I took after I flashed.

All these settings were done using the following
E8400
FSB 444x9
MEM 333
RAM 1066 / AUTO
PL 08

Mem 1.80 / 1.923 +0.123
NB 1.10 / 1.155 +0.055
FSB 1.10 / 1.099 -0.001
PLL 1.50 / 1.535 +0.035

Mem 1.82 / 1.944 +0.124
NB 1.12 / 1.175 +0.055
FSB 1.12 / 1.119 +0.001
PLL 1.50 / 1.555 +0.055

I hope i didnt fat finger anything, but the lowest voltage settings do not seem to be overvolting like crazy as reported in earlier bios versions. I hope someone else can test this and verify...

Step

I was wondering what those express gates are...
I mean this motherboard has 2 expresgates. But can you use these as normal sata gate's? Like installing 2harddrives on them whitout working whit the asus software???

And about the bios 1702 is it worth installing? Because wel i aint finding them on the asus site :p :p

I installed new 1702 BIOS on my P5Q Deluxe, and now every time i booting i see this message http://pic.ipicture.ru/uploads/08121...2agbTfel69.jpg Even if before I set settings on Default i see this message. Wtf? Help me please. Before this i had 1406 bios and it was working perfectly! :(

that reminds me of a problem i had aswell.
But i had this error whit an older BIOS.
When i flashed to 1406 everything was working fine.

I think that you should reflash back to the 1406....

there's also another problem- I CANT REFLFLASH TO OLDER VERSION! :mad: EZ FLASH says that 1406 older version than existing bios and i cant downgrade! :confused:

do the remove battery / jumper reset routine - there exact description in the manual, then flash to previous version that worked

Battery problem ?!

wel i got the exact same problem (exept from the flashing part) and it was on a brand new motherboard :D

Its like asus has forgotten somthing sow there BIOS does not work on every setup :confused::shrug:

dunno what i've done, but looks like now everething (instead of bios downgrade) is working fine. :D Thanks u guys! And thanks GOD! :D

Whoa, 1702 already :D
