Well, I'm running a q6600 g0 at 9*400. It refuses to do an 8 multiplier and I'm not sure why even when I go to 1.5v cpu voltage. I won't take it anymore than that.Quote:

Try it with 2104 pleaseeeeeeeeeee
memory support would be good, I hard lock at 1175MHZ as said above, don't matter if 1 stick with mega tweaking or all 4 sticks with no mega tweaking.
Put me in 2nd queue..
Would there be 02 version for P5Q-Dlx ?
Yeaaa... at last I got it after endless hours of searching.
This really make my day after being 2 days bored of nasty cold.
I don't want to lose it again and for those who need it, I put it as downloadable here:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TFUIBZ76
Of course if this is OK with Ket...
I want one! :clap:
Anyone got some older P5Q-E versions somewhere?? I want m1406 back! :D
it's on first page.
I downloaded all the files from the first post yesterday, but these are the newer files only?!?!Quote:

Within this pack are updated BIOS files for the P5Q, P5Q Pro, P5Q-E, P5Q Deluxe and P5Q Premium. The BIOS files have been updated with the memory table from the Maximus 2 Formula.
DL Linky
Kind regards.
Man, did I miss that one? I don't know, but thank you so much for the DL link!!!!!!!!Quote:

I have a little question, I want to flash back from 1901 to 1406, but with "afudos /i <...ROM> /n" it won't work, tells me the BIOS is too old, any hints?
EDIT: I tried the older version auf AFUDOS (posted by Ket a while back, 2.11, and it keeps hanging at "advance check"...what can I do?
It needs an ES afudos version.
Might not easy to find but with a bit patience you'll find it.
"ES"? Like "engineering sample"? If it's that big deal, I'll stick with the 2101, but I really would have loved to test my 45nm Quad with the "old" 1406 BIOS...Quote:

The only one I have is the none modded version. I can't give it right now either because I'm at work, it is at my house.
thanks, but i have vanilla 1406. I need modded 1406m or 1702m.Quote:

what's the best bios version for the P5Q-E ?
For those who still needs P5Q Deluxe Ket's modded 1406m and 1702m, grab it
HERE
Please understand don't ask Ket's support for these grannies..
But no doubt they still a legend. :up:
Thanks to you, Ket.. they're great!!
Just in case anyone needs Afudos ES, grab it
HERE
Hope this can assist you ... :buddies:
Was requested via PM for 1406m.
Here's the pack with all of them; direct link.

strange, but it looks like 1702 was modified 13/04/2009 :confused: Later than it was released.
I'll be posting up a modded M2F BIOS soon :up: I know its not a P5Q board so I'm straying a little.. but technically I'm not "cheating". It still uses the P45 chipset :D
ED - Here it is. M2F 2104m

Just a tip: check the bios file using EZ Flash in cmos setup.
It will show the date as CPUz screenshot above.
Don't worry of me making any changes.
I'm not as advance as Ket and I don't even know what to do to bios file except flashing them. :D :D
Hey mister, could you engage your fingers and willness for some M2G board : ))))Quote:

See 1st post on page 1....
Once I find a few minutes this post will be updated with download links for every P5Q Series BIOS Asus have released as well as a few easy to use modding tools. I personally feel this series cannot be taken any further even with modded BIOSes, but I do know there are a few of you out there trying to backwardly engineer Single Link Arch BIOS (SLAB) modules to work with P5Qs and P5Q Pros, so maybe these BIOSes and tools will be of use to those of you trying the SLAB route.
AFUDOS 2.11: This particular afudos is rare, it has no checks in place so you can flash any AMI BIOS, to any board. I recommend using these switches when using the flasher; /PBNC /N
AMI BCP v3.13 Use this to snoop around a AMI BIOS and change various values / options. Does not work with modified AMI BIOS files.
MMTOOL v3.22 This handy utility can extract and replace most AMI BIOS modules, useful for splicing in modules from different BIOSes.
IDA Free 4.9 Very good program for complex BIOS modding, I could never get it working with modern BIOSes.
All P5Q Series BIOSes Asus have released (excluding BETAs) There it is, all offical BIOSes Asus have released as well as a few pre-extracted modules and some QVL lists.
Thanks a lot, Mr. BIOS! :bows:
Chears Mr Bios LOL
Some links are up, rest will follow soon.
Is it possible change the boot logo with something else? If yes how can i do it?
I'm now on the newer Bios but it adds nothing for me.Quote:

Hmm, You gave us a 2104 Modded MF II above no ?
Are you meaning the newer build ?
Why you stopping modding, time or lack of appreciation ?
Again can we get a little info to what's change so (I) can look forward to testing that aspect over Asus POS bios. ;)
Dear Ket,
Your ideas are awesome!!! This idea actually help me to stable 8GB ram to work in DDR1000 with no overvoltaging on my P5Q-PRO.
However, I have a few questions to discuss.
1.I tried reaplcing only the memory table in the P5Q-PRO 2102 bios by the one in the P5Q PRO TURBO, but it doesn't work, the memory has all kinds of errors in MemTest 86+. However, with the CPU table from P5Q-Premium, everything works. Lower voltage (1.35->1.30) for my E7200 to go up to 3.8GHz, every voltages else stays in lowest possible.
So it seems to me the only thing matters is the P6 micro code. But I didn't bother to test. What do you think?
2. I also integrated the Intel 8.9.0.1023 raid rom and Marvell L72E to the BIOS. (Of course, SLIC...too). Do you think you would put in this two features in your next modified version?
3. I am thinking about transplanting this method to P5Q3, the P6 micro code will be from P5Q3 Deluxe which has the same P6 micro code as P5Q Premium. However, I am not sure about the memory table. It looks like to me, P5P43TD PRO has got a large table of DDR3 1600. But I am not sure about using a P43 table in P45. It acutally worked out. P5Q3 now supports G.Skill DDR3 1600 4GB pack. What do you think?
4. I just bought a Q8400. I am very impressed by your result shown here http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...ighlight=Q8400
Could you tell me how to archive that? For example, memory voltage, nb voltage, vtt voltage, cpu reference... Do I need to adjust pull-ins?
Thank very much for bring us such a great idea!!!! You are awesome, Mr. Bios!!
As a gift to everyone, these are the P5Q PRO and P5Q3 bioses talked about before.
http://drop.io/qhzxs3r
With, SLIC 2.1 and newest Intel Raid Rom and add-on rom.
Guys, please hail Mr. Bios. Though it's modded by me, it's all his idea.
He's awesome.
Theres only certain tools I have at my disposal for carrying out BIOS hacks. Why some memory tables worked for you and others didn't I'm not too sure. From testing I done however its a good idea to avoid memory tables in the P5Q Premium BIOSes past 1406. Asus done something to the memory table beyond BIOS 1406 that basically cut out a lot of memory support it seems. Also, your link for the modded BIOSes doesn't seem to contain any link to DL them, upload them to megaupload :up: If enough people are interested I'll consider opening up the can of worms again and perhaps with a combined effort we can make one super BIOS, I'd still like to figure out a way to backwardly engineer a P5Q Premium SLAB module and make it work with the P5Q\Pro\-E and Deluxe boards.
Now it's on megaupload.Quote:

I want to do it certainly. I don't know why it's so bad to overclock quad cores.
How is your overclocking with quad cores?
I can OC well with my quad, it'll do 480+ FSB, but its only stable to about 460. I get mysterious memory errors beyond 460 that theres apparently no solution for, quite annoying really.
How are your VTT and North Bridge settings?Quote:

Increasing NB voltage can not really get the FSB higher, this is so weird.
P5Q-RPO overclocks E8X00, E7X00 and E5X00 very easily. 50% is usually for sure at 1.35V.
I RMAed my Q8400 because it can't even stable at 425MHz FSB.
As X-Bitlabs tested P5Q3-Deluxe and P5Q-PRO, they can't go beyond 460MHz. And P5Q3-DELUXE is 16 phases!
How about your P5Q PRO TURBO?
Also, the NB is really hot. The mosfets are really cold. I wonder one thing, whether the 4 phases without heatsinks actually working, because I put my hands there many times right after burning the computer, and they are so surprisely cool that I can't feel anything!Quote:
Originally Posted by Ket

Decent NB cooling may help, but I put a 40mm fan on top of my NB and it gets barely warm but 460 is still about its wall.
If anyone is interested, i´ve modded the original Asus P5Q Pro Turbo Bios 0602 with the Intel Raid Rom 8.9.0.1023.
Working like a charm since over 2 weeks.
Feel free to modify it!
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=I9KS04TW
Ket. It's very interesting that my motherboard temp reduced 10 degree after a 1 hour prime 95 stressing by only put a heatsink on the mofsets. But I havn't check whether it increases OC power though.Quote:

I miss you man, you should try modding the GA-UD3 mother board BIOSes as ell. I am sitting at 495 x 8.5 4.2GHz!!!! @ 1.312v~ right now with my Q9550 and man is it sweet being able to crank up the FSB on this board. Any way miss ya man, in a none gay way. :p:
Heya!
My computer have been kinda unstable with clocks that was fine before since I switched to the new bios 2101. So I thought I would give Kets bios a go since they seem to be so popular :)
I installed 2101m with afudos but I still think its the old one from Asus still in there. When I check the bios date in CpuZ it says 04/06/2009 like before and thats not right is it?
What did I miss?
edit: Still have the same old boot-logo aswell and since you wrote in the first post you changed it I guess thats a sign thats something is wrong aswell :)
edit2: The commands I used in dos was "c:\>afu236u /i2101.ROM" (I renamed p5q e 2101m.rom) and when it said update completed, restart your computer. I turned it off and went through the list:
1. Shutdown system
2. Remove power cord
3. Set CMOS jumper to "clear"
4. Remove CMOS battery
5. Push power button 3 time and hold for a few seconds (discharges any stagnant electricity)
6. Leave for 2 mins
lol :D I'll probably mod BIOS code again, but only for boards that deserve a good BIOS ;) I have other projects atm like mustering enough up to FINALLY finish my TK stalker shoc mod. Its the best mod there is by far, I just haven't pimped it nowhere near enough.Quote:

I think I may have one last look at squeezing more out of the P5Q Series and then that really will be it. After careful study of the design of the boards, I don't see why most boards can't do 500FSB or better with quads. I must be missing something obvious :eh:
I think it is just limitations of the board and the way it is laidout or built. Or, the chipsets were crappy ones. UD3 P45 boards aren't having any issues, what is different between those and these?Quote:

Hi! Can anyone send me this BIOS please? I don't find it... Thanks in advance.
None, from what I can tell. Both are made to very high standards. Good news is after a lot of work (but still WIP) I got a BIOS modded and my Q8400 is currently sitting on 481FSB for a grand total of 3.6GHz and memory of 1156MHz :cool:Quote:

In the case of the SLAB module, "one size fits all" is not the case unfortunately.Quote:

last 2102 on P5Q , any new one ? :)
this thread is a little bit of a mess--- can someone point me to the correct link for the current/latest KET v2102 modded bios for the P5Q PRO? thanks
edit: i flashed this bios:
"p5q pro 2102m.rom"
date: 7.11.2009
crc-32: 3c06fdab
but, I also found another bios in the "P5Q Series mBIOSes.rar" collection, with a different CRC and a date of 5.14.2009 :shrug: which one to use??
I don't know why one BIOS has a later date stamp than the other. Both modified versions use the same base code.. so at a guess maybe asus made a late change and didn't bother changing the revision.. or maybe someone uploaded the beta to the asus servers instead of the official. I did have to re-download some BIOSes cos I deleted the original code reckoning I was done with it.
so ..... which one should I use? again, this thread needs a sticky at the top with links to the "real" ket bios. Because so many have hacked and modded this bios, its a mess and because they are all on rapidshare, its hard to know the "real" one.
My mBIOSes are on the first page and are on megaupload only ;) I can't guarantee any others hosting the files are the same as mine.
Anyone try out this new EFI bios? :confused:
Why change what ain't broke? I have nothing against EFI, heard about it some 5+ years ago. I just don't see any real point in it apart from it looks more "flashy". Besides that, the more complex you make something the easier it breaks....
I just don't understand the point myself.Quote:

So again I have t fall back on all intel want is for the EFI to replace a BIOS so it looks pretty :p:
they DONT have later date stamps-- both of them have the same "internal" date stamp which is sometime in Feb 2009. The thing is the FILE ITSELF has different modification dates. They also have different CRC-32 and different sizes.Quote:

File #2: 713,378 bytes, CRC:3c06fdab, modified date 7/11/09
BOTH of these come directly from the download links in your sticky post. I am just asking you which one of these is the correct one to use. I am assuming that I should use the File#2 since it has a more recent date. Right??? :shrug:
Ah, now that makes more sence. One has a different date from the other because I released 2 different versions, one uses a different P6 and memory table to the other, so their both "right". Just 2 different flavours of the same thing :up:
Could someone post a link for asus p5q deluxe 1406m bios,or send it via mail?
I wonder what the WiP bios is? I am using your m2102 bios on my P5Q Pro to overclock my Q8300. But sadly enough I'm stuck at 455FSB.Quote:

I can pass 12hours with small FFT @ 467FSB with quite high Volts but Large FFT and Blend fails within seconds.
Maybe the problem is that on the P5Q Pro you can't adjust the GTL reference on the NB and only a overall adjustment on the CPU GTL?
Any help would be appreciated!
Even if I do know that I won't really notice those +200mhz it's always fun to see how far you can push your CPU and memory :)
A better test to try would be REAL games. If your system doesn't crash with hours of gaming, video encoding, etc, then your fine. I've seen completely stock systems fail P95, OCCT etc instantly, but of course, the systems run absolutely fine gaming, encoding etc.
Well maybe you are right, I can pass 25runs LinX with max mem too so I'm quite perplexed why it should Blend of all things.Quote:

I can pass Prime/Intel burn above 475FSB sometimes (random) but fails every time on Prototype game.
It all depends what part of the CPU is been used, ie the 3d Part for gaming.

It all depends on how much you feel is "to much" and how long you plan to use your OC rigg.
I for one will not be able to by a new computer before I have finished my studies (in like 3 years) so I follow the recommendations from Intel.
Currently I'm at 1.304v during load (LLC enabled) with my 455FSB*7.5 OC.
Not quite, my 2102m is special ;)Quote:

For anyone wondering, the M2F seems to havew a rather universal stable FSB limit of around 500-540MHz. With some splicing around here and there, lets see if I can get it up to 580MHz.

I reckon you stand a good chance of getting an A3 now, most users seem to have A2, but The last 2 I had were both A3 which were both in the space of about 4 months. Whilst I was waiting for my second to arrive, I plonked a P5Q-D in my rig and got just as far with that as the MIIF, but not quite so good with the memory.
Will look forward to seeing what you can do with the bios (and your board :)).
I'm optimistically hopeful for something like 500x7.5. That way I can run 1200MHz on my memory an basically max FSB, CPU and RAM out :)
Hehe I feel for you man, Dragon Age comes out on the third so I would be pretty mad if my computer went and died on me now :ROTF:Quote:
