On my P5WDH I can safely ignore any ASUS software and readouts. I'm still in build mode for the P5B dlx, but I suspect the software's the same.Quote:

i'm trying to determine what size heatsink i'm going to need to cover over that spot.
yes, there are some small resistors- just like when removing the heatspreader off an Opteron. I used a very small screwdriver and just got it under the very edge of the heatsink. I rested the screwdiver on the blue PCI-E slot and pried very gently.... hold a credit card under the other edge so it doesn't :banana::banana::banana::banana: when it comes off.
Piece of cake man :D
I just put some as5 under the nb, took off the tin cover, and put a chipset fan on http://svcompucycle.com/kd1204pkb1-3-86.html .
So did you take it out of the case and try the same ps or a different one?Quote:

I know it's not the optimal solution, but will it work if the CD-ROM and the harddisk are both connected to the JMicron-port?
No i left the mobo in the case. Disconnected all 4 fans. Took out my hd tuner, soundcard. Still using the same power supply. Does this mean one of the rails are :banana::banana::banana::banana:eD?Quote:

Or something shorting it...
Well a way to test it is...
First get a dmm, put the system under load, orthos, 3dm2k3,5,6, grab one of the 4pin molex plugs, put the black lead into the black wire hole, and the red lead into the yellow wire hole. Check the reading idle/load. IMO, if it flucuates too much, I'd get another ps.
Got my Audigy 4 yesterday, and jeeees does it make a difference!
Boot is 3 bars, going through windows is how it should be with a Raptor, installing stuff is quicker, sound isn't disrupted when reading temps/heavy HD usage.
My view:
GET A SOUNDCARD!!!
My PC is just godly now :D
As far as the 1x pci-e problem goes i would like to add that 804 bios fixes it! :woot:
That was the only downside of this m/b and now it gone! I'm a happy man! :D
If you would, please.. What voltages are you running on the nb,sb,fsb, and what pci frequency?Quote:

I think I lost my p5b dlx.
It shutdown while surfing, and it never booted up again.
When I turn it on the fans spin up 0,01 secs and then the system just shutdown...
Too bad
1. If I select VDIMM above 1.9V, the system is not stable, blue screen at windows loading. The ram is cold, it is not of the memory this problem! Help peoples!
2. Vcore is DROPING! 1.5V = 1.41V :slapass:
1.6V = 1.51V :nono:
Please help me! I'm with the last bios from asus.com (0804)!

Sorry if this has been asked before. Is there any way to monitor nb and sb temps? I have a laser temp probe that I use, not very convenient. Today I took off both heatsinks and applied as5. They were pretty easy to take off, but the stock tim(was dried like glue) was not easy to get off. Before I was getting temps around 60c on both with my laser. After, they're below 40c. Looks like the stock tim doesn't do much. It wasn't hard to do and didn't take much time. I would recommend for anyone wanting to lower their nb and sb temps to do this.
I posted a thread over at nvnews.. Well see if those nvidia gurus can figure it out.. Cuz it wasn't like this before I put this 8800 in. http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/show...=1#post1093688Quote:

Since I have water, I tried increasing my CPU vcore to over 1.55v at one point and that did nothing. Does that probably indicate it is my P5B-D that is the bottleneck? Or can some C2D e6300's just not push over ~3200mhz?
For reference, I can run stable at 450 mhz fsb with:
vcore 1.4 (i didn't tweak this to perfection, the water takes care of it)
vdimm 2.25v
vfsb 1.45
vsb 1.5
vterm 1.3
BIOS 804
I have tried maxing out vterm and vfsb but that didn't help either. Anyone have any thoughts?
Vfsb is better left @ 1.4v
shifty803,my 6300 does 3.4ghz with 1.32vcore.
today i did a science mark two and pi 1m test at 3.8ghz.i got 2141 on sm2 and a tad over 15seconds on pi 1m.
my settings were-
550 fsb
vcore 1.51v
vnb 1.45
vsb 1.6
vfsb 1.5(i think)
my temps were 40-43c idle and 60c while running sm2.
oh and it booted at 550fsb with pci-e at x16

anyone who's not tried it,sm2 is a good quick oc test,if ram is unstable it crashes and if cpu is unstable,it crashes.
I've downloaded BIOS 804 from Asus site. Is this the recommended one from this group?Quote:

strange problem on my P5B Deluxe....
whenever I power it on or restart it... it spins up for a second, shuts down for a second or two, then restarts normally?? WTF?? Even when I change a setting in the bios and exit- it does the same thing. Is this possibly a fan sensor or what could be causing this?? I can't imagine it's normal?
Been noticing the same. Would also be interested to know the score.Quote:

I had the same issue with my old board. I'll see if my new board does the same thing.
By the way, where can I get 0903 bios?
There is a part in this vid, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBI_kB0g9eM , where it shows some JMicron message, and then says press any key to continue...what the hell is up with this? I experience the same thing too, and my slave DVD-Rom drive isn't even seen by Windows. Anyone know what's up with this?

as for the j-micron deal.... it sucks but 965 chipsets don't support ide interface so asus uses a third party ide controller. just buy a sata optical or an ide to sata adapter and you can disable it.
that's normal from what i read it happensQuote:

I've run the board 7x470 or 8x415... same deal. I don't have to change bios settings- it does it no matter what. I'm on the stock bios- 507. I need to flash to 804 still. I don't imagine that will fix it??Quote:

anyone have problems with the hard drive powering off in windows and the restarting? It is an IDE western digital. Do you think my hard drive could be going bad?
Hi, I'm looking for anyone who could have the same setup as me. Basically, when running Vista with the ATI beta drivers I have weird clock speeds on both my VGA Cards. I have a P5B Deluxe WiFi, and 2 x x1950 XTXs, setup to run in Crossfire. Both cards are installed, linked and recognised by the OS (Although actual Crossfire rendering is not possible yet in Vista, hurry up ATI!). The weird thing is this, in the 'Overdrive' section I have the following info for both cards:
GPU Requested CLock "650"
GPU Actual Clock "506"
Memory Requested Clock "999"
Memory Actual Clock "594"
Maybe I'm being stupid, but this can't be normal right? Do the X1950 XTX cards increase clock speed under load? If so I have not heard anything of it. Also, this problem exists with no overclocking of board in any way.
I'm hoping this is an issue with beta ATI drivers. Any help would be appreciated!:toast:
OMFG!! i just tried to update the bios(from 0611-0804) with the asus bios update program and then it asks me to restart my comp so i do and i get a bsod upon windows startup. then i restart it again and get a double restart(never happened on this new board before) then i get into windows and i check temps! MY 7900GT with a vf900 on it reads 145c!!!!! i don't believe it so i touch the heatsink(stupid me) and i burn my finger. so i shut it down and ran a fan over it. my question is this: WTF did i do? Is my PSU fooked or do i need to reflash the bios. i am really scared to turn my pc on again so some help would really be appreciated.
i think the X1900's do have different 2d and 3d core and mem clocks so i would assume the x1950 series does the same.Quote:

At no time did I disconnect anything. I would go through the connection setup and it would keep opening up with the sound cutting out and then coming back on. If I un-check the audioesp in the soundmax control panel then I do not have any problems.
Also, now that I have deselected the audioesp if I reselect it the sound stays on but the connection box continues to open up until I uncheck the ausio esp.
I am also having an issue with the sound making a slight popping sound every once in a while.
The question is, do you think this a driver/software issue or a hardware issue?
I have the latest 0804 Bios
Thanks guys....
its a driver issue,get a seperate sound card till anus sort it out.
Surely the speed in the ATI control panel is the 3D core? 'Requested' and Actual should match, i.e the 'Requested speeds are correct stock speeds in my case, but the actuals are nowhere near. This is also reported in 3D Mark.
I'm runnin Vista too, so 2d clcok wont be used as Vista UI runs completely from 3D Textures. Maybe I should unplug one card and try it??
I called Asus, and they told me that it could be an issue with the actual sound connector on the board.Quote:

So it must be an issue with the slot/board. What bios settings could possibly alter the clock/mem speed of one of my cards?
Is the bottom slot slower than the top? Please help!
Grrrrr I hate ATI!
i think you are mis-interpereting this? it means when you set it to automatic overclocking(ATI overdrive) it will not cause the video card to run slower than its default speed but faster.Quote:

Thanks to both reponses, having hooked up 2 monitors (Actually had 2 already but never thought of it :( ) I see the clock speeds go up to the requested speeds. I assumed aero glass would do this, but thinking about it its good that it doesn't put undue stress on the cards.
However, when setting overclocked requests (i.e 1100 ram) the system still only reaches the stock 999 when running. I'm pretty sure this will be down to the beta ATI drivers.
Once these drivers come out, and I start to run Crossfire, should I enable C.G.I on my board? Not overly sure on what it does, any thoughts?
it may just not display properly... 999 might be max for software. it may actually be going up higher try setting it @998 and bench then bump to 1100 requested and bench if it is more than a couple of points then it is just not displaying correctly.
a little off topic but if i open ati tray tools while i am @ stock speeds then oc with atitool tray tools doesnt catch my increase? some software is just a little buggy especially when it is special use stuff like oc utilities . they don't have the big budgets to fix all the bugs right away.
and when vista rolls out officially i bet there will be major issues with almost all o.c. applications till they get them sorted. it's all part of living on the razors edge!
I had been following the XS forums for weeks and weeks, reading every thread religiously, up to deciding on my system.
I got my P5b Dlx wifi 2 months ago, and everything was running great, oc'd without any issues. Until last week. I started getting system corruption on files and weird things happening. Through testing, I found memtest reporting a ton of errors on my ram (2x1gb of ballistix) so I tried going into my bios to reset my memory to defaults, by SPD.
That was the last time I was able to boot. My monitor hasn't even turned on since then - no POST, nada.
I have tried swapping memory slots. I following the instructions for resetting the cmos (the normal hard reboot wasn't letting me into the bios like it did when I was overclocking originally)...
The machine turns on, all my fans go to 100%, and that's it. Removing all ram gives me a repeating 3beep code, but other than that, nothing seems to make any difference. I've already got an RMA in with newegg (didn't realize how easy it'd be) but I don't think I'm quite done testing yet. I don't have access to any 533 memory in case it's a voltage issue, but I had no issues when initially configuring everything...
Any help or thoughts on what I can do from here?
yes I had the Ballistix DDR1 modules and went through the same thing ram was excellent for 1-2 months then it degraded, few errors here and there random blue screens in gaming, memtest didn't show errors for about 3-5 days, after reloading OS and full system troubleshoot did RMA. I had purchased through Crucial reseller program, got replacement set, lasted 2-3 weeks then degraded started dying slowly again. Replacement RMA again, after the 3rd set of ram failed I spoke to lead technical support and supervisor and would not listen to anything except 100% refund and they were lucky to get off that easily as I had 20-30 hours of time invested in troubleshooting.
Never again even if they had DDR2-20000 would I buy a set of Crucial, also our company is no longer a reseller of Crucial :fact:
Do yourself a favor order a different set of ram from newegg.

It's really hard to believe that both sticks died at the same time... but it's definitely possible, considering the motherboard hasn't really shown any other strangeness at all, and even now, it LOOKS fine, with the ASUS LED showing blue until I turn it on etc.. I dunno :(Quote:

i called their direct sales at crucial to see if i could buy 1 stick of that ram since they don't sell the special edition anymore and when i told them the story they said the voltage that i gave them with cooling fans on them should not have caused that to happen so they offered me an rma.. i told him i raised it above the recommended voltage to as high as 2.4 in bios and he said " with a fan on them that should not be an issue" so they are giving me a replacement stick!!! crucial rocks imo. they als verified that the sticks sold as ballistix that have the same code 12864aa663 are also d9gmh and are rated for cas3 as well but default voltage is 2.1 so maybe there is just an issue with low voltage boot (under 2.0 ) with those sticks.
In the last motnh i'm experimenting suddenly rebbot even if my system is not under heavy load,like burning a dvd or surfing the net!I also upgrade the bios to 0903 and reinstalling Xp Prof. but it didn't help.The only change i made before these problems was to lower ram timings from 6-6-6-18-42 to 5-5-5-12-24 but now i set them back to the original values!I tried many times reloading the defaults but with no luck.Any ideas how to fix this problem?
I read of a hard reset instead of clearing the cmos(i cannot open the case because i will lose my garantee),how can i perform it?Thanks to everyone!!

Quick question about how the board normally boots. I've been troubleshooting a no-POST mobo, and it seems that every time I turn on the PC, the fans spin up for about 1 second, the blue ASUS LED goes red... but then everything turns back off.
It takes about 10 seconds (just as the CPU fan stops spinning) and then the motherboard makes another attempt. At this point, it USUALLY stays on. But once or twice now, it's looped through this process a couple times, starting, stopping, starting,stopping, starting, stopping, and then all fans/HDD's spinning up.
Not sure if this is possibly a PSU issue, or standard bootup procedure.
This is normal, but only if it reboots one time.Quote:

It's kinda confusing, I really don't know what died.
I was wondering what kind of system temps you guys are getting?
My system temp, reported through the asus AIsuite is ~38c-40c
My CPU Temp Idle ~36c, Load 42c - 44c

Sorry kinda noob to this board... I have been messing with this new build 3 straight days. I have the same board and Crucial Baliistix 2x512mB (1gB kit) with stock BIOS 0604.Quote:

Anyone know why Intel Chipset Identification Utility reports my chipset as G965:eek: instead of P965?!??Quote:

Also running Intel Matrix Storage Manager, reports that there's no hardware support. It thinks the MB has ICH8 without RAID. And the SM Bus Controller in Device Manager has the yellow ? mark.
I then enabled BIOS Intel RAID and was able to install driver for the SM Bus Controller after patching to Win XP SP2. BUT all indication in the Device Manager still shows that it thinks it has ICH8 instead of ICH8R (USB Controller, etc.). AND Intel Chipset ID Utility STILL reports chipset as G965 although it shows the correct ICH8R I/O controller!!! :confused:
FYI, I have an IDE DVDRW drive connected to the lone IDE port and a PCI IDE Controller add on card for my boot IDE hard drive.
Any comments are MORE than welcome and appreciated. I have been scouring the web with no info for the last day. This is bugging the hell outta me. :mad:
EDIT: Also there's still an "Unknown device" in Device Manager after installing all latest drivers including the RAID (JMicron & Intel) drivers.
UPDATE: Solved the "Unknown Device" in Device Manager by installing the Asus ACPI driver. Did a download from Asus instead. Thanks to previous poster several pages up and also Psyire. :)
By archives, do you mean Asus' FTP archive? I have this very problem and is trying to resolve it without installing Asus junk applications on my build.Quote:
