I agree, this is my first OC computer that I have put together and the P5Q Pro board is an excellent OC board for beginners.Quote:

I'll try their newest BIOS and If I get probs I'll roll back to 1406 :up:
If you think about it even deeper, if Prime95 has been screwed up again by what ever it is they fixed in 1406, what else is screwed up that you can't really spot?? Are you losing floating point performace or percision?? :shrug:Quote:

OK! After about 3.5hrs of faffing around I just turned the M2F on :D I dunno if anyone has heard but the rumors about asus not paying too much attention to construction quality of the stupidly huge heatpipe pinfin assembly is not unfounded. While dismantling the assembly I was greeted with;
- Fine metal filings falling off into my lap. God knows how much damage they could of done to the system had they fell onto the board powered up!
- Copper plates were hideously dirty. Have some metal polish handy.
- Thermal compound used while looking quite good stuff, was just kinda dolloped on.
- One of the heatpipes being held by some kind of white epoxy has partially broken away, not sure how this will hinder it.
- NO backplates on the reverse of the board to prevent the PCB warping. I had hoped so far down the line asus would of seen the light on this, apparently not.
Be sure you don't miss to take off the heatsinks screwed down to the assembly itself, they will need attention too. Overall, not the kind of quality I expect from a £120 mobo :down: Its just a good job I shopped around and found it for £120 +p&p instead of the average I found it for which was £145 +p&p. Anyway, negatives aside, now the assembly is sorted out I have good confidence it cools the components its responsible for well. Props to asus for managing to keep the BIOS pre-installed up to date. I was expecting it to be 2-3 revisions behind, but nope, bang up to date :up:
Good that the new board works for you.
Lets see if you can get to 500FSB with the Q8400 :)
We will see. Right now I'm just monitoring temps. Without a small 40mm fan mounted NB and SB temps are 46 and 48c respectively. With a small 40mm fan those temps drop to 38 and 41c respectively. Not too bad I suppose. The M2F manual doesn't say, nor does a google search turn much up so maybe someone knows. Is it possible to use the black PCI-E slot with any other devices and not just the included SupremeFX board? Looks like it but I don't want to just put my Xonar in there.
YES, treat any of the slots as PCI-E slots, none are specific for Sound or GPU's.
If it fits in the slot it will actually run.
Someone here tried to tell me the included Sound Card will not run in the other non Black Slot but I know for a fact it will.
It was a different story on one of the other older ROG's (cannot remember if it was the 680I or Crosshair) but the little Top Black slot was upside down so only the included Asus Sound Card could be use in it. (hope you know what I mean).
I have had the Sound card in the bottom Blue PCI-E card but I was only messing about as I have a PCI X-FI and I know peeps who have used that top slot for other PCI-E devices (TV card etc).
I must have got lucky with my later Rev 2 Mobo (heatpipes fitted better than 1st batches).
My temps are high 30's or low 40's (dependant on voltage and load).
Think I seen 50's with summer heat or winter+central heating on when I was pumping higher voltage trying to get 5000FSB.
I really hope you get 500FSB (not just game (3D)stable) but your looking at a lot of luck TBH.
Thanks :up: I'll keep you all posted on how things go.
Sounds great, lets see later this week if your WiP bios helps me get away from my current 455FSB hell :D
So you gonna mod the new EFI BIOS they just released for the P5Q-D? ;)
EFI BIOSes require a whole new set of tools, which I don't have... yet. Hopefully asus release AFI BIOSes for all of their P45 based mobos onward, wouldn't make much sense just doing it for the Deluxe.
I'm new on the forum so first of all hi everyone. I've been using 2101m for P5Q-E for a few weeks now and reporting good results so far. I've been unable to go above ~420 FSB on original 2101, I could reach 447 with modded that brings my Q9550 to 3.8 GHz so I'm quite happy with it. Oddly I had to change the dram skews to reach stability. However I'm struggling to set 5:6 on my ram, running sync for now. 5:6 doesn't seem stable whatever the settings, still searching what is holding it.
A little off topic : I don't understand that need for EFI "bios". In the end it will only bring you various locks (DRM, certificates, and other "trusted" BS) behind some eyecandy. Linus on EFI. We're beginning to see that trend with the SLIC, no surprise to see MS promoting EFI... I have no problem for MS selling you windows and locking the "bios" as long as you agree to pay for this, but I have a problem when it comes to free software. "Oh sorry, the EFI board didn't received your licence fee for this year, so your OS won't be able to access the hardware". Sure there will be hacks, but you can rely on them to make it harder. And you're asking for it ? Seriously, go buy a mac and leave my old-fashioned bios on my PC :)
Cheers

Thank goodness I found this forum! I have been pulling my hair out trying to figure out a work-around for an ASUS P5QL-VM EPU MB out of an ASUS CM5570 Machine. The MB is restricted and won't let me flash to an actual P5QL-VM EPU BIOS. The P5QL designation is printed on the board, but the POST screen lists it as CM5570.
I am just going to throw caution to the wind and flash with the mBIOS provided, but if anyone has any suggestions or experience with this CM5570 board, any input would be appreciated although by the time any input is provided my MB may well be bricked.:)
Thanks.
Alright, I have tried my best to flash the bios. I continue to get an incompatible ROM ID message from the utility. Is there some way to work around this or am I stuck with this extremely limited bios Asus is providing? A few pertinent details:
Asus p5ql-vm epu CM5570 motherboard. Current Bios is 0301, no options for overclocking, no fan speed controls, pretty much as bad as a Dell laptop bios.
What I have tried:
- 1st I tried to flash with the p5qlvm-epu bios from Asus but that returned an incompatible ROM ID error.
- 2nd I tried to flash with the p5qlvm-epu 301mbios.ROM from Ket provided so generously. Same error.
- I attempted both flashes with the EZ flash utiility.
- I have been unsuccessful with running a different flash utility. I have a floppy drive but the MB doesn't have a FDD header.
- I am running Ubuntu 9.10 32-bit.
- I have DOS on a USB drive.
Am I stuck with this Bios until I ditch the board or is there another option?
Thanks.
At the risk of looking desperate, I am posting for a third time in a row.
Having had no success on flashing my Asus OEM board with an mBios and having received no advice or suggestion from the community I have attempted the following:
- I tried to mod my own bios using a hex editor and mmTool v. 3.12. I was able to successfully open both the CM5570 Bios v. 3.01 and Ket's mBios v. 3.01. I placed the ROM ID from the CM5570 Bios provided by Asus into Ket's mBios in an attempt to fool the computer, but the computer is no fool.
- I tried to utilize the AMIBCP tool(s) on the CM5570 Bios in an attempt to unlock any hidden/locked options. I was thwarted by each version of AMIBCP I tried to use.
- v. 7.60.04 would not recognize my bios file to open it.
- v. 2.42 would not install/execute properly on my 32-bit XP Dell.
- v. 3.13 installed and executed but crashed when I attempted to load any bios to it.
Fortunately, or unfortunately, I do not give up easily. I have not broken down to the point where I will order a Bios chip off of eBay. I have access to an ePROM programmer and may try to upload Ket's bios onto another IC and swap that IC in for the 8-dip IC on the CM5570/P5QL-VM EPU. As usual, I would appreciate any input or suggestions.
Well here is a question for you guys..
I just upgraded to w7-64... All works great except on wake from sleep.. If i go in and race and run laps after A wake-- i get stutters... If i do a fresh start--- i get no stutters.... Do think this could be a bios thing? Im running 1406m right now... Works great on my xp system... Butttt would like to get my w7 stutter free...
All my drivers are up to date-- and i have also tried older gpu drivers.. chipset is up to date.. Truned off search sync--- along with played with the power settings... Yet every time i wake from sleep-- stutters-- any time i reboot-- no stutters...
I come and go from my computer throughout the day-- so reboots every time just isnt realistic...
Any thoughts?

I guess it could be a bios thing. It could be a lot of other things as well.Quote:

Just a couple of quick questions, have you installed any other software other than win7 onto your machine since the upgrade? Have you taken a look at your system resources usage before sleep compared to after sleep to see if there is a resources hog issue? What software do you have running when your system goes into sleep mode? Does it happen when you have no non-OS software running before entering sleep mode? Have you tried to boot your computer with the minimal amount of drivers and auto-start software and then immediately after the OS boots, enter into sleep mode prior to opening anything else?
Which power settings did you play with, the settings in the BIOS, the settings in the OS, or both? What are the details of your hardware setup? What version of XP were you using, 32-bit or 64-bit? When you say sleep, do you mean Standby, Hibernate, Suspend or something else altogether?
Is there a particular reason you think it might be the bios and not something else?
Hi I am sharing my new P5Q PRO mod
http://www.mediafire.com/?ug2wjrtanzn
with P5Q PREMIUM CPUID, P5Q PRO TURBO Memory Table, Intel 8.9.1.1002, MARVELL L72, AlienWare SLIC 2.1.
I am currently running this mod. No problems so far. But I will continue testing. It's true that the higher the raid bios version become, the faster the raid array is.
Hey Ket,
I want to thank you for all these great modded bios's for all the people you've shared. I've used the 2102 modded bios for mine Asus P5q-pro and could stable overclock my setup to 4.05 Ghz from 3.85 Ghz using a Q9550.
I tried for a year long getting passed the 3.85 Ghz but to no succes until I tried your latest modded bios and didn't give up finding a sweet spot to run my system stable testing it with IntelBurnTest running it on 32-bit and 64-bit.
My bios settings for the people with more or less the same setup:

If anyone wants to ask me a question regarding to overclocking please Pm me and maybe I can help with a similar setup like I've.
Btw I read somewhere trough this thread that some people have trouble flashing back to their old bios, because Asus disabled this option. Luckily there is a special flash.exe which makes it still possible to revert back to your old bios if that was more succesful.
To flash back to your old bios you need to startup in DOS, than you put this flash.exe and your older bios on the same disk and type the command A:\afu236u /i[filename].rom press enter and than the flashing begins. After it's done restart your computer.
Link flash.exe: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G1HUOT8B
Good Luck all!
Need some help choosing bios. I need a bios that will make my cpu go the highest, dont care about memory speed or anything like that but i need raw mhz, if it makes my board push the cpu 1fsb more i need it :) Its going into a p5q pro :)
Also, i dont need stable speed but pure suicide :) Running a E2160 @ 3850 atm
Hi Snowman, I think the 1613 bios version may be the best version for you, because before I had a dual core processor namely the e8400 and I reached a fsb bus of 480 Mhz with the highest cpu ration 9.0. But sometimes every system is a little bit different so you should try on your system which bios gets for you the best results.Quote:

OK let's approach it from this angle. Since the main difference appears to be the memory table;can I just use a basic Hex editor and take one of the other modded BIOS and replace the memory table with an original portion?
P.S. if you don't know then don't respond;it's more directed at the modding author. Pardon the earlier poorly worded post.
Does anybody know how to change the NB GTL Reference on the P5Q-Pro?
Maybe some program that can help me out?
Because I'm stuck at a FSB Wall and no matter what (ie even with insane volts) I can't get my CPU (Q8300) stable at over 455FSB>.
It's always Core 3 that fails so it's a great shame that one can't change more GTL References in the Pro Bios :(
Well, I integrated the Maximus II Formula MEMORY TABLE.Quote:

Please read my earlier posts. P5Q series has huge problems pushing quad core to any FSB more than 450. The current idea is integrating the Maximus Formula II memory table. But it's not ram stable.Quote:

Since your board supports both DDR2 and DDR3. There is no upper board(premium or deluxe) level memory table for you. So I didn't change it and I think this is the reason that Ket didn't do it.
In my exprience with P5Q RPO and P5Q3, CPU ID matters way more in CPU overclocking. You should be able to get a better overclocking or a lower voltage. In fact, you might even get a better memory result, but not sure.
I don't have a P5QC. I just did it in the exact way I did it on P5Q PRO and P5Q3. So please test it and tell me how it went.
Okay then, if you could somehow mod in the memory table maybe I too could reach those settings, the best I have come up with is 12h small fft and 25rounds of max test with IBT @ 467FSB.Quote:

Was just about to install a ket p5q deluxe bios but I notice it is 2Mb, and floppy is 1.44Mb. Strange I have not noticed anything about this before, the official bios are 1.18Mb.
Thank you very much! This works nicely and indeed results in a good stable voltage reduction. This is with an E8400 @4.00 Gig 1.35625 from prior 1.3750 This was leaving everything else as it was set with the non-modded BIOS. I'll tweak the memory later and re-test.Quote:

Since your has the same CPU id as P5Q Premium. There is no upper better CPUID for you. So I didn't change it and I think this is the reason that Ket didn't do it.
In my exprience with P5Q3, it doesn't support G.Skill DDR3 1600 memory to work even with DDR3 1333. After putting in P43TDP PRO Memory Table, it can work on DDR3 1600.
So you should be able to get a better memory clocking and compatible. But I doubt you will get a better CPU voltage.
The others are component upgrades.
Please test it and tell me how you like it.
You can use USB drive to upgrade the bios. Please read instructions inside your bios.Quote:

Bascially the comment I made on # 2116 about P5Q3 Deluxe applies. Except that this time the memory table is P5Q Pro Turbo 0602.
Please test it and tell me how you like it.
Note: Make sure your bios is not EFI before using it. There are two versions of P5Q Deluxe.
Thx for modding it for me. I am running 2201 the shipping bios (which I think is not EFI). I just replaced my PSU a enermax 500w liberty which was a bit long in the tooth, I was unstable at stock. I have a Corsair hx850 installed now and at stock have not reset or hard locked.
I will have a go at overclocking with my current bios first. However I have read posts saying that bios 1406 (enhances compatability with yorkfield c1 cpu) is the best bios although he was running a2 rather than a3 chipset revision.
Would you think it likely that this previous bios could be better than latest for overclocking or was it just an old post?
Thanks chenxuwen, going to install and run it on my desktop. on my lappy write now so i'll keep you posted if anything strange arises.
I loaded your bios. I can't verify its made any difference as I found my previous OC on official 2201 was unstable. I have just upped the vcore now with this new bios after it rebooted too. I haven't gone past 3.8Ghz apart from booting into windows at 4Ghz for a short time.Quote:

Thinking about it, would a new memory table help me? I have crucial ballistix micron d9s 16FD5 so its really old memory. I could understand if there was some newer memory which was tweaked, although I'm just guessing about what the actually tweak in the memory tables.
Sorry for not being a better beta tester, I just want to get comfortable and confident of my overclock before testing more. It is still cold here too and I want my 24/7 overclock to be stable all year round. Plus I don't want my crucial ballistix to be RMA'ed because I don't know what I will receive back, probably RAM not as overclockable. I have a proheim megaheim and a 120mm focused on the RAM, so I hope its safe.
FYI 4 dimms was not stable with 1.28v NB but is with 1.36v NB @ 450 5:6 333strap (only settings I tested)
Just a quick update: After tweaking the skew Timings a little bit I've gotten my E8400 to a stable 4.15 GHz with this P5Q-C BIOS...thanks again chenxuwen.... nice work.
Im stuck at 4,2GHz with Asus P5Q Deluxe board... No much change if try play 1,488V or 1,496V.. Orthos got error very soon and then too CPU Volt raises upper to +1,5V (CPUZ)
C2D E7400 (2,8GHz) Stepping A Rev. R0
So i think can it be up to Bios? Im just played with new bios what can get from Asus.
I Think this cpu is very hunggryyy but anyway its cool ( not yet over 60C at load, and running air cooled )... Doesnt you have deleted this cpu´s info from this bios because first problem with this board was too old bios and i upgraded it with Pentium 4 HT.
Sorry for laziness. With AsRock and P4 it was up to bios but could it be better with this system if i put that mod bios in? Im used hours for most little volt without losing MHz... gonna test this but worried that one yours dead Asus. :=
CPU skew:
NB Skew:
^Very rarely using those but can those help me a lot? What are others used for those?
Edit: CPU skew and NB skew got for good but need raise volts a little bit to get it stable. Maybe after when got this stable will test mod bios.
Edit2: Damn this bios is good. +++ for you. Not yet tested higher but feels good. 8)
Nice to hear that. You are welcomed!Quote:

Interesting, on my P5Q PRO, I can't increase any volt on NB otherwise unstable. In fact I reached 450FSB on 1.10V NB with my Q9550. Try to tweak the mem parameter to SPD or EPP, make sure they are the sane as the official setting.Quote:

And try very well that lower multiplier, it worked last time with MSI. (x10,5->x9,5)
E: I give at +4,1GHz speed last time some 1,3V to NB. I try too does need raise them so much anymore.
Edit4: 3267MHz @ 1,232V ~>
Edit5: 3609MHz @ 1,296V (lots of hours and tweaking for getting stable but finally it is stable) ~>
I guess R0 stepping helped quite a bit. I also lapped my TT120. I noticed a 3 degree lower.Quote:

If you still use this mobo, raise the voltages until you are stable, that will be much lower then on auto or the lowest setting. 100% sure, after I did this my NB was much cooler, which was to hot to touch. Same goes for all voltages except pcie and southbridge voltages, which you can leave on auto.
And OMG even memory is overvolted by 0.08V always. I can run my corsairs on 2.02 instead of 2.1.
Can Anyone host to other site other than Megaupload? I don't know why this site always show "This service is temporarily not available from your service area." when I am trying to download the mBIOS.
Here you go:Quote:

So, im having issues booting into windows @ 4.5GHz with an E8400 E0... Tried all the way up to 1.5v but it still bluescreens me 2sec after windows bootup logo >.<
All done with 1.5 vCore:
500x9 = fail
517x8.5 = works.. but only for fast benching..
520x8.5 = nope.. same as 500x9 :(
Tried increasing NB voltage but its the same there... Running Dominator 1066MHz memorys so its not a memory issue (yet)..
Using P5Q Deluxe and 1406 official bios.
Think a Ket bios would help out ? I'm not asking for 100% stability with 500x9 or anything.. But maybe it will increase my chance on benching stable trough atleast a vantage run + a screenshot for hwbot :P
Hello, me again...
can someone create a mod bios for my p5q premium with the newest official bios, the newest tables and firmwares for intel raid controller and so on?
It would be very nice. ..
Best regards.
Second that for the regular P5Q. New Bios came on 11th march.Quote:

Hi, i flashed your bios on my deluxe. It worked great. Could you put mode dividers for memory frequensy? If i have ram at 800mhz and fsb at 400Mhz the lowest divider is 1:1, if i go over 400Mhz FSB then it could happen that i can't start the system.
Thanks, great work!
For anyone that missed the post, I'm not modding P5Q Series BIOSes anymore. It only ever started as a temporary fix for the piss poor memory support asus had for the lower end P5Qs such as the vanilla model and Pro. Theres a post in here somewhere where you can download a bunch of tools an stuff I use. This thread is more like a archived source of knowledge these days, although, if anyone wants to update SATA ROMs and such for a Maximus 2 Formula, I have enough time to play guinepig (I'm looking at you chenxuwen :p: )
I would try to make my old P5Q PRO work with more than 6gb of RAM (had no luck so far) but the link is broken... :(Quote:

Feel free to modify it, but please post your versions here ;-)

I'm still trying to figure out how to get the audio to work on my X-Fi Xtreme Music. It installs just fine but the volume is low. I'm wondering if it's a bios issue? Anybody else had any problems with the bios and the X-Fi cards?
The "X-Fi" is not a true X-Fi, its actually a ADI2000B audio CODEC with the software layer of the X-Fi to make it look prettier. Personally, I like the generic ADI drivers better, not only because they work better IMO, but also because I'm all for anything that helps kill Creative off as their by far the most piss-poor audio vendor I've ever known.
Good audio solutions:
ADI 1988B CODEC
ADI 2000B CODEC
VIA audio chipsets (Particularly the Oxygen audio chipset)
Asus Xonar audio cards (Uses Oxygen audio chip)
A few others you can't get easily anymore, so I won't list them
Bad audio solutions:
Realtek (unless you mess with the equalizer, in which case its kinda good)
Anything Creative has had a hand in.
Is there a possibility to add also for P5Q BIOS 2208, the SLIC2.1 to the BIOS??? Using the 2102 now and it is very stable!! Or no need to update because not much has changed???Quote:

Thanks, the rest works..
up
The cpuid in which way can be changed? Thanks
OKAY, I'll upload the new version of it tonight.
chenxuwen hi, i have understand how mod my bios for asus p5q deluxe,, i insert slic asus, memory table from rampage extreme, L73 (i don't use raid 0), intel raid for sata 9.6 (i don't use lan boot rom), image oem change, etc.. and the bios works amazing, prime 95 9 hours + super pi for 4 cores with trivial kingston stable to 858MHz 5-5-5-15 only with this memory table...
The problem is: i have also a p5q, in which way i can the cpuid for this mobo with that of p5q premium or also my deluxe? This, which is the module to change with mmtool?
Thanks
Sorry for my english
up
for cpuid?
up for change cpuid please, only this ...
Bump because everybody seems to love this thread still.. but seriously guys, your flogging a dead horse now everything that can be done for the P5Q series HAS been done.
Title says it all. This post is just to show the basics of what you can do with MMTOOL so you can at least do a few things yourself and don't have to wait for one of the modders.
First up, a image of what all the module IDs are:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1.../ModuleIDs.png
Second, a SS of MMTOOL:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...lipboard02.jpg
Now, for some details about MMTOOL 3.22, its the latest version available (AFAIK) and this modified version of MMTOOL allows people to successfully work with the 1B module and the 21 module without borking the BIOS. Using MMTOOL is very simple, literally just browse the location of the file you want to open, then extract / replace modules as needed.
Does anyone have a download link for P5Q-E 1703m BIOS? I lost it in a drive format and I had good success with overclocking while using it.
Thanks.
Edit: Found them in the first download link.
Can any of the active modders be so helpful and prepare the newest BIOS for P5Q-E with newest Intel RAID ROM, JMB368 ROM and memory table? Also ASUS SLIC 2.1 would be nice.
I don't have any experience with modding BIOS files and I don't want to screw something up and make my motherboard unusable.
I've seen that there are many BIOSes with those futures, but non of them is for P5Q-E.
If anyone would build one, I would be very grateful.

My question, my one question, was: what is the module from replace about cpuid?
The module 11, or the 0C. I have replace both on my p5q with module of maximus formula and the bios works great.
But i have this doubt, still
Only this, thanks;)
Hello
I've got a P5Q Deluxe with Q9650 & 4x2GB
I would like to insert memory table from Maximus II Formula to my bios in order to overclock.
Someone could explain to me how to do it?
Thank you very much in advance
Regards

I'm running the P5Q with a Q9550 @ 3.62 and 4X2Gb @ 1066. Standard bios!!
Memory is a corsair quad set 6400C4 which runs fine at 1066C5 too.
why on earth would you integrate a DDR3 ram set to a DDR2 ram set, P5Q Dlx overclocks DDR2 ram beyond 1100mhz easily... no idea why you would want to mess with the bios...
Sorry I've made a mistake, I was talking about Maximus II Formula ^_^
Which is also a DDR2 Mobo ! ;)Quote:

No because the MF II is a POS, your Mobo actually has better OC.
All right thank you.
Finally with 2201
http://img10.hostingpics.net/pics/98858Capture.png
Stable under LinX & OCCT
@ scharnhorst, the M2F has a good memory table, on par with the P5Q Deluxe and most notably has a bit better latency over the Deluxe. Before splicing memory tables about research various boards, the memory table you will ideally want to use is the one with your memory listed in the QVL.
i will try for P5Q-E in term of overclocking/vcore/fsb
Thank you very much Ket.
My rams are :
Corsair XMS2 DHX C4
&
gSkill Pi Black
I found the corsair in the QVL but not the gskill. I will look for the other motherboard
Thank you for yout help
Its P45 so still counts :p: I have somewhat of a super BIOS for the Maximus 2 Formula I need people to help me test as I don't have all the hardware to test all the improvements. Who wants to help?
On a more relevent, useful note. What were the last BIOSes you P5Q / Pro / -E / Deluxe owners tried? I have a few more tricks up my sleeve I guess I could do as chen hasn't popped in in a while.
