Anyone having problems running mem in dual channel? I have single sided kit and 2 sided kit and neither will post in dual channel regardless of the orange or black slots. I have to run in single channel and bandwidth is crap.
using the latest bios.

I have a P5E3 Deluxe that im testing out & wondered whats the max FSB that these board tops out at in general?

Edit:
My system was stable @ 525x8 w/ Qx9770..............
I got this

But wondered if I can go higher! I can do PI 1Mb & 3/4 of 8Mb then I get a rounding error in PI
I will give v1109 bios a try 2nite
what is the best bios?
v1109
Thats some wicked FSB settings there. I don't know how much further you can go and maintain stability. 564 is definately up there.:up:Quote:

Hi Guys I have 2 of these x38 P5e3 dlx/wifiAP boards.
I listed one on ebay for $150 and the guy who won decided not to pay me. anyway before I relist has anyone successfully flashed this board to p5e3 premium or ws evolution? I just thought i'd ask before I blow money on one.
Thanks
btw @ LivingL@rGe81, thats totally insane for this board! :clap: :toast2:
here's what happened to my rig just after I hit 550mhz fsb with this board. http://mail.google.com/mail/?attid=0...b124f7aaab6bbc
There are to many physical differences between the Premium and Deluxe for a successful flash. The premium has 3 phase DDR3 pwr and dual phase on the NB. Also the Premium has one less pciex1 slot than the Deluxe. $150 is a good price especially if you are including everything the retail package has.Quote:

Hi,
I've just completed my first build last night and I'm having issues. no probs...all sorted for now
thanks:D
Hey, I was wondering if I could get some help/suggestions with this board and my Q9450 Revision C1. Specs in sig.
stable settings for 8x400
CPU vcore 1.3
PLL 1.64
FSB 1.28
NB 1.55
SB auto
CPU/GTL Auto
NB/GTL Auto
When I tried 8x425 with those same settings BSOD.
Bios 1303 now available but after flashing within the biosI got error beeps and no post. Looks like a memory issue and I am going to try a 1gb stick with a 1.5 voltage setting to see if it posts. I get 1 long 3 short a long pause and 1 long.
http://vip.asus.com/forum/view.aspx?...Language=en-us This is a good resource for our board as the driver section of our support thread is no longer being regularly updated. The newest expressgate adds a lot more functionality.
Thanks for the info noneed4me2… This thread died a long time ago…. :up:

Brave758, I see you've got 4870s. I'm about to build a rig for a mate with my old(ha ha) P5E3 Deluxe and a 4870X2. Do I need a specific bios to run with this card do you know?
Cheers
RLM
RLM, using bios 1109 with no probs. I haven't heard of any need to use a specific bios to run them
Thanks for that Brave758. Appreciated
Bios 1401 (beta) is out http://support.asus.com/download/dow...Language=en-us and since I had vga issues for some unknown reason with 1303 I went to 1401, flashed with eztool and usb stick as usual without issue. I know the P45 boards are all the rage but just remember our board has a little more than the P45. Xfire with full lanes x16x16 is nice even if its not that big a performance jump, still getting bios updates so someone is still giving support. Say what you want about asus they do stick with their hardware longer than others. Tech wise I think this board will hold up well till nehalem.
1401 Beta seems fine.

thanx for sharing, the q6600 still holds well against the newer 45nm quad chips, and paired with a good mobo/chipset like x38/x48 or P45 even more performance can be had. My friend has a q9450 clocked to 3.4ghz in a 790i board and while faster than my q6600 in benching/games even he admits he hasn't seen a really big jump over his older 680i and q6600 rig. Of course the extreme 45nm quads pretty much blow away the older versions but there are still a few oems using qx6850 in their builds.Quote:

1401 works fine so far for me, but I would wait for official. As far as upgrading your q6600, wait for nehalem. Your performance would not be much greater. Thats a good overclock.Quote:
