yes , BOOT, rght now im with 400 FSB and 1.45vNB
so what voltages you guys think its better instead AUTO???
i only use to change voltages to benchmark , when i use high FSB like 470Mhz , i use 1.6v SB and 1.45vFSB , nothing else .

The new one has been replaced w/ a Jing Ting and it gets warm. :D About 1/8 inch clearance, hehe.Quote:

I see that there are more ppl having this problem with an Ati card than a Nvidia card.........:confused:
If i had it, i would just send it RMA, how the hell are you supposed to play a game @x1, i really cant even amagine the very very low FPS.
Mine doesn't happen with up to 1.55v vmch. However it appears with 1.65v. Try it and report back.Quote:

Geez,
I've already tried to explain that the 1X issue is NOT a single setting. Its a combination of PCIe, Vmch, VCore and FSB. If I screw with any of these enough I can get it to happen.
If you are having issues with 1x try one or both of these:
-Set PCIe down to 96Mhz (I know I know, just try it)
-Raise VCore higher then you think is required for you oc
See if that works for anyone. You don't need to RMA the board, its not (technically) broken, just has a bug when overclocking. But its fixable.
Mine is steady on 16x now except for rare occasions where I screw up some oc settings. 400x8 and 4-4-3-4 or 500x7 and 5-5-5-5 both 96Mhz PCIe, Mch 1.6V, etc etc etc
But... If set PCIe above 100 I get issues with cold boots and 1X, without changing other settings. I've gotten 16x at 110Mhz but I need to mess with other stuff.
EDIT: Oh, also try cold and warm boots. Last night I messed with something then changed it back to where I KNOW 16x worked, but it kept coming up 1x. So I cold-booted, no setting change, worked fine.
I have a 1900XT and have had that happen when PCIe was too high.Quote:

I haven't had that or cold boot problems since, well just see my post above this.
well like i said, when i turn down the pc, hit the psu switch and then the power switch few times it always boots at 16x, when i just shut down, reset or change a bios setting it always boots at 1x........another thing i was trying today, i leaving the system off for like 10sec after powering down (just a shut down not tuching the psu) and two or three times that i tried it it booted at 16x, so that might also be a possible work around
set pci to 96 and high vcore didnt help.. after saving bios, the MB beep beep bepp, and then rebooter itself and then it booted but with 1x:(Quote:

Leave those settings and turn the psu off. Wait approx 15s (this is VERY important for my setup) and then turn back on, wait 5s and then power up.
See what happens then
hate it, if I have to power down PSU and that stuff, just to get the damn 16x back.. OMG
it helps now 16x, but dono if it stays that way.. brb
It doesn’t matter what I do anymore.
Always 16X after I reverted to 0614 and flashed 0804.
Strange demon we have lurking about this motherboard.
It doesn’t need new bios.
It needs a priest
:sick:
I think that you might be onto something with this. I have a X800XT and occasionally when the computer boots I can see from the harddisk led that it is booting into Windows. But I get no monitor signal.Quote:

Strange mobo. ;)
Same thing with mine. I think we have pretty much nailed down the symptoms of this case, now we just need a proper workaround from Asus. I'm not going to cold boot this thing twice every time I change something from BIOS or just need to boot because of some driver or update.Quote:

I want to say upfront: Im NOT a fanboy, and dont wanna start a "X is better than Y" debate, but it seems to me that the majority of people with the 1X problem has ATI cards?
Or am i wrong? (it has happened before:) )
Yap i got a x1800xt.....lol although i did have a 7900gt and would have kept it if it didnt die like alot of them
well my second board died on me yesterday. i had been using it for 2 days. and it died the exact same way as the first board. i was running 401FSB @ 1,45Vmch and wondered if it could run it at 1,25Vmch. so i set 1,25Vmch and the board was dead- boots with no post and the radeon fan was at max. the first board died almost the same way. i was running 400FSB at 1,65V and lowered the MCH to 1,55Vmch and it died.Quote:

whats the freaking problem with this god damn board. ive had enough waiting for the RMA replacement for 4 weeks. this is how it has gone:
p5b deluxe for 1 month
the board died
RMA and waiting 4 weeks
new p5b deluxe for 2 days
the board died
RMA and waiting maybe another 4 weeks
:mad:
wow holy cow :eek: they die off soo soon ? mate you sure the board is dead ? Tried reseting the battery ;)Quote:

dead as dead can be. i wouldnt be mad, but the RMA process takes too damn long. im realllly fed up with my duron600 :D
i wonder that i haven't heard anybody else complaining about this issue. to me it feels every single board can be killed this way.
maybe the rev C2 is better, but im sure i get another C1 for replacement
Guys.... I had the ordeal of my life yesterday.
Everything was running fine..... when I decided to make my life a little tougher.
I wanted to see if my ORDEAL with 4:5 ratio would be somehow solved. So i tried setting 1.65Vnbvcore.
And thats it.
Board took a dip.
It didnt boot at all. CrashFree bios didnt revive my computer either.
Neither DID clearing cmos manually by removing battery and setting CLR_RTC jumper to 2-3 for over an hour.
Neither did resetting the CPU multiple times. It simply didnt want to boot.
How i solved it?
Pressed reset durning the initial Cold boot.... and it came up. I loaded defaults and flashed 0804 bios again.
I think when I experimented with 0903 bios I messed up the boot block of the bios and because of that it is not recovering from bad BIOS options like it should. And because I am not downgrading the bios, it is no longer writing the boot block anymore.
Any idea how i can override the boot block?
Also, one thing to note is, during the night when p5bdel was refusing to boot, i found that with every cold boot, it was doing that double reboot. I seriously think the bios on this motherboard is messed up.
Regards,
Karan
Maybe theres something wrong with ur other peripheral?? like vga, mem or maybe u cpu?? u should check it. it sounds too seriousQuote:

-tam2-
@AUTO you never know what voltage the board gets. and 1,25V is too much :D ? it's the minimum level you can give it. and the board died a the lowest level of vMCH. that's not normal. the board is running fine at higher vMCH but it dies at low vMCH. that is a bit weird :nono:Quote:

You are correct.Quote:

Its not limited to, but certainly is much more common with ATI cards. Fact.
I'm almost certain it has to with an initialization / timeout issue with VGA. This could be due to regulators, speeds, buggy code, heat, etc etc etc. I suspect that the code in the northbridge is significantly different for cold and warm boots.
regarding the PCIE 1x problem:
for every reboot and BIOS change it goes to 1x, but if i shut it down and turn off the PSU. Wait for 5 seconds turn on everything, and it goes 16x.
Works every single time........ go figure...
BIOS 711. Haven't tried 8xx 9xx yet.
harpyboy: Not that simple. I can get it to happen with cold boot no problem. Its got to be your settings.
Likewise, I can get 16x after a warm boot, but only at certain settings.
For instance I can not warm boot at 500Mhz x Anything and get 16x. But I can cold boot to it no problem. on the other hand I almost always get 16x at 400Mhz warm or cold if PCIe is 96Mhz. Its rare that I get 1x in with that setup but it does happen now and then.
But I agree, best chance of 16x is after a cold boot.
ugh i hate that pci 1x issue. last time it took close to 40 mins of rebooting for it to revert to 16x. in the end i had to max out most voltages for it to stay stable at 16x. i can run stable orthos at 484, but had to back it down to 470 for the 16x setting to be somewhat stable. asus needs to fix this now.
speaking of issues, do you guys have issues with USB detection? my board takes FOREVER to detect USB sometimes. and sometimes they don't even show up. Maybe I got a dud board? my first board died within 20 mins for no apparent reason.
I don't any problems with detection/enumeration but I have noticed that there is sometimes a delayed device unplugged detection sound when the monitor (with usb hub) is shut off.
I have my mouse plugged into the monitor/hub so when its off the mouse if off too. I hear one unplugged sound right away but the other one sometimes takes awhile (30-60s ?)
Doesn't seem to effect anything.
I would just like to say....That I have an X800xt and an X1900XTX and have not ever had a 1x issue with any of the bios' ive tried....Currently I'm on 0903 with no problems at all....
Also I had 2 P5B's die on me both with different problems and now I'm on the third board...with no problems...
It seems to me that ASUS is THE PROBLEM....or at least thier fabs....
But for me it was a matter of returning the boards to the store I bought them at for Brand new replacements rather than going through ASUS' rediculous RMA process to get refurbished boards that probably have the same issue that the last board died from...
One more thing....
For those with this 1x problem....Try settinf your PEG LINK mode to Normal or Fast and see what happens..
SkI
The Audio driver 4580 Full for M2N32-SLI Deluxe works perfect on my P5B Deluxe.
(Download with firefox or at Asus.com)
Whoa buddy. Relax. No one is blaming ATI. This is of course an ASUS problem.
However, its more likely to occur with ATI cards (from the info I've collected).
You're not getting the 1x issue? Fantastic. What VCore/Vich/Vmch are you using? Whats the PCIe set to? How about memory timings, subtimings and voltage? I rarely have it at 400Mhz too. But its pretty common at 500Mhz with 5-5-5-5, on all but cold boots or all boots if PCIe is set over 96.
PEG Link is not the culprit, for the 100th time its a combination of settings. I'll try and put together some proof of this. But, its possible that under the right conditions setting PEG Link could fix it, although its tough to tell b/c sometimes a cold boot or adjusting voltage or speeds will also fix it.
Works perfectly like doesn't cause slow boot or laggy windows explorer ? Or works perfectly like makes sounds come from speakers ?Quote:

I'll check it out too.
Are you using the just the driver or the driver along with that software mixer package ?
st
I just installed driver 2K_XP setup.exe
IN Game (BF2) bad suond :( for me back to 4570 to 4580 Update
I PMed you.
I had bad sound in BF2 as well. I unistalled that stupid soundmax app and just let windows handle it.
But either way you need to tell it to use 2 speaker stereo and not 4/5/6/7 chan. That fixed vf2 sound for me
I feel like one of those people that you see pressing the elevator button even though it has been pressed! My psu button needs to be in the front. Forget the reset button & just do the coldboot. Honestly if these things had genders (!)and I feel perfectly fine thinking that being Female ~ FU$US. fussy asus
Another thing does anyone connect extra fans to the chassis and if so do you bother to use that program $a$us or if you know one please tell! I would think the fussy board would be "happy" with extra cooling but I feel leary of it since the guide says don't install the one that came with the mb etc. Honestly I just need a step pedal for these fans full throttle please!!!!...so tired of the flippin powering down of the fans when I want to oc why would I care about NOISE vs. performance? HMM SYSTEM STABILITY OR A QUIET LIBRARY PC that can't do .. ok done venting sorry. :soap:
I installed my Audigy 2 Platinum...Surround sound in gaming 5.1 or more is SWEET! Wondering how it will melt the power down of the mb though HAH. Just installing a few fans = reboots.:bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :bs: :dammit: :dammit: :dammit: :censored:
find yourself a fan controller and power that off the psu.
you can either buy a digital fan controller with 4 fan settings with card reader and the other unessesary gadgets or a manual unit.
if you can help it dont power fans off the motherboard .
if the fan go's south so will the motherboards performance.
I have seen fans take out motherboards but thats rare.

Also first when it wouldnt boot i got bios beepcode saying memory parity error , no problem now thouhg.

Beware of 0903 BIOS guys.
I had nothing but trouble with that bios. It seems to me that the boot-block in that bios is messed up. It doesnt recover from bad OCs at all. And after that you would need to use AFUDOS to fully go back to a older bios. Sad :(
you board is F:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: D up bad thats all i can say. I would try and RMA itQuote:

man i cant get the onboard gigalan working its slower then the onboard 100Mbit i had on my asrock mobo = ( could someone point me o the latest drivers ? or are the ones on asus.com up to date ?
I have recently changed my system to the specs listed below in my signature, however before I had the P5B mobo, I had an ABIT AW9D-MAX LGA775 which I sent back and had replaced with the Asus P5B as I thought the following issue was a mobo problem, turns out I was wrong, as both boards are giving the same problem, this is a bit confusing so please bere with me.
Firstly, I am Overclocking the CPU, the max I can get out of this CPU is listed below no matter how many volts I put thought it and so far is 15hrs prime stable, however the memory is at 900mhz @ 2.2v which I am more than happy with and is over 3000% memtest pro stable, so ok I got a bad stepping CPU but its quick enough for what I use it for.
The problem is if I restart the computer from within windows it restarts fine, If I shut down the computer from within Windows then switch back on later it reatrts fine, BUT...... If I shut down windows then either remove the power cable from the PSU or turn off the PSU when I come to turn it back on I get a message stating "overclocking Failed" Hit F1 for defaults or Del to enter the bios, I can hit Del to enter the bios and all my settings are still their, I can then immediatly save and exit and it posts/boots fine ??????? "confused yet cos I am"
Dont forget everything is stable and this only happens on cold boots, it is almost as if the crash free bios 3 is inisiating itself, also dont forget this same problem has, and is happening on 2 completely different boards, the Abit and the Asus, same components just different mobos, Crucial wont RMA the mem cos its passing memtest even at DDR900 without errors, the boards have been tested by the company I purchased them from with no probs, the only thing left is the CPU and I really cant see that being the problem.
Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated cos its doing my knutt. :stick:
Found a solution = )
Download the latest from ASUS website. Install it BUT you will I am very sure feel slow down during boot time and perhaps during Windows too. Install it as you will see Unknown Device (which is a bother). Install it, reboot, then go to Device Manager and under SCSI and RAID controllers see for Jmicron. Rite click it and click 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. There is no need to reboot after this change, though do reboot to see that the boot problem is gone. If you want to use the RAID capabilities then there is enough offered by the Intel chip, use that instead of this. I would have disabled this in BIOS but I can’t do that as using two IDE/PATA optical drives.
forgott to ask what driver should i use instead of the :banana::banana::banana::banana:ty jmicron ide driver ? it
makes booting so f***ing slow = )
Anybody with this problem of the Primary GFX x16 Slot running in 1x mode do the following.
Enter your bios and under Advanced/Chipset/Southbridge Chipset Config, set it to you lowest setting, X2/X1 Mode (Compatible) "I think, or something like that", someone did mention to try this quite a few pages back but im not sure how many people saw it, its the only way I have managed to get the Primary GFX slot to run x16 mode all the time wether im cold or warm booting, it works everytime. :toast:
If your running dual GFX then sorry but your second card is going to suffer, so sell both and just buy 1 better one :)
By the way I have tried this way with the following bioses and it worked for them all: 0711, 0804, & beta 0903.
CPU VCore: 1.450v / Mem: 2.15v / FSB Termination: 1.400v / NB VCore: 1.65v / SB VCore: 1.60v / ICH: 1.057v

For the 101st time, its a COMBINATION of settings.
I can get it to go away on some setting if I up the VCore ~.0375V higher then I know it needs to be stable.
You seem to be running an E6600 @ 3.2 with 1.450V.... Thats about .1V too high for my E600 to be stable a that speed. I am not surprised you are not having an issue with that much VCore, if I set mine that high I wouldn't have an issue either.

I did this yesterday and went to bed early, woke up today and during that time my P5B had apparently its 2nd ever BSOD. Restarted from a complete cold-boot and windows would consistently blue screen after cycling the loading meter a couple of times.

what i did is changed all the voltages concerning the mobo (didnt tuch my vcore and vdimm) from auto to lowest with only vmch beeing at 1.45v
Ive never had x1 thing, no matter what voltages i use. I never use auto though except for vich.
Hi,
I have problems with overclocking. if i put more then 325 mhz FSb, my whole computer will freeze. My vcore is 1.40v and i think it's enough, for <3ghz, right?
I used this guid for "optimal" options:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...=p5b+overclock
I have bios 0804, can someone help me?
I have a e6600 week 28A
try to give a little extra volt and go for 350FSB and then 400-401. some FSB the board dont like
like 1.5v in bios, and then go to 350FSB?Quote:

EDIT: it helped :D.. thank you very much.
I use 1.5v, in pc probe II it reports 1.5v but when i start orthos, it goes to 1.45v, then it's getting instable(orthos reports error), this all on 3.6ghz. Is this right? Do i just need some little more vcore, so it gets under load on 1.5v too?
another time, thanks :D
The p5b (-d) has some issues around 300~~350.
Just set it higher.
That guide is not made for 24/7 use overclockers. I would better use lower voltages.
I think the first thing that stops you would be the memory, especially if you have value ram, those doesnt clock much over their official freqs.
-Vfsb=1.3V
-VNB=1.45V
-vich=lowest
-vsb=1.6V /1.7V
Vcore=set it to auto till you found the limit

And with crossfire installed, is there any performance issue noticed since this mobo wasnt intended to run crossfire?
thanks

I happened to get a cheap GF7950GT from my friend (who upgraded to a 8800GTX) and managed to prove, that at least in my case the 1x problem is not related to the graphics card manufacturer. The nvidia card boots up nice, no more those vga error beep sequences and messed up windows screens, but the 1x problem manifests itself just the same as with the X800XT. Cold boot is fine, restarts result in 1x. It's actually more difficult with this, with the ATI card you knew from the beep sequence that the fight was lost. The Nvidia card on the other hand doesn't do that, so you end up booting fine all the way to Windows before noticing that it's 1x time again... Uh-oh.
the NB volt i didn't change, only the ram and cpu.Quote:

I use the x8 multiplier for my e6600 (same batch as yours). Mine is at 425x8=3.4Ghz right now, and that was with not much effort. When the multiplier is set at nine, it pushes the NBCC at little too much, and can make OC'in a little uncomfortable. Try playing around with your settings, and see if can get things stable around 8x400. After that, it's your preference. Please post some settings when you get it stable, I interested if this board behaves the same to our processors.Quote:

on mine,it does sometimes boot up at 450+ with x1 pci-e,and sometimes not.
the way i get it back to 16x is to turn off my system and turnoff the psu.then turn back on and boot up at the same settings.seems to work every time.bit of a pain tho'.
also i have to set my voltages on auto(apart from vcore and vmem).if i set the others on anything but auto it either wont post or blue screens when it gets to windows.weird
the highest i've had mine benchable at is 540x7 with 1.5vcore.ive tried it higher but as i can only run the ram at 1:1,my ram wont bench above 1090mhz.
why cant you run the ram less than 1:1 on these boards??
same here no probs withQuote:

512MB HIS X1800XT <-- testing now
I have PEG Link set as Normal for all cards except crossfire needs PEG Link set at AUTO and Asus CGI disabled for all cards except Crossfire config. SB and ICH volts always on AUTO and PCI-E frequency fixed at 100mhz
My 2 cents re x1 PCI-E
Ok. It's definitely a combination of things. For me it was raise NB/SB to 1.45/1.6 and disable CGI and set PEG to Normal. I tried NB and SB changes alone and it was still x1, i tried CGI and PEG changes alone but still x1. Both combinations of settings made it x16. I also played with a few other things but it made no difference.
Funny thing is i never had to do ANY of this until today when i started playing with Rivatuner and ATI Tool :p: :banana:
These PC's are like women! :slapass:
ps. I'm using 0804 bios
I too have seemed to resolved the 1X issue for 7 days and counting.Quote:

I have no Idea why my fix didnt work for you .:confused:

I still believe this will not happen with 0614 bios.
It might be on newer C1 revision motherboards flashed from 0614 to 0711 and up.
who knows?
:cool:
I gave my P5B-D to my GF. Using a Pentium 4 630 and an Audigy 2 soundcard, the rest of the system is the same. No 1X PCIe problem :)
tried 8x multi seems my board likes it = ) running 485x8 instead och 420x9 gave a nice boost and my ram klocks and timings improved aswell running my teamgroup 2GB 6400 4 4 3 10 4 @ 970

Gonna try out software X-fire
I have overclocked today,Quote:

this is the max:

4GHz!!!!!
Superpi 1M= 12.750s , very good:slobber:
This is the maximum windows bootable/1M benchable .
These days all test with 8x to see how it ll work out with the straps.
The 1X issue will be solved if you set your pci-e mhz to the sweet spot, for everyone its different, for me 110mhz fixed the 1x issue, for other 105 works.....so increase your mhz by 5 at a time, see wich one fixes it, most likely this will solve the issue, good luck.
