Can you all please try to confirm that everything = default but vNB=1.3V will lead to not booting ?
Thanks.

tested the NB, FSB and PLL on the P5Q3 here yesterday, and the same thing happens, lowest setting is same as autoQuote:

I've having problems booting at 1.12v NB, never mind 1.3v.
I'm going to try the 0702 BIOS.
Anyone tried 0704 BIOS yet?
you know that 1.12v vNB lower voltage is than 1.10v if you overclock?!Quote:

Yip. But everything is fine if I set the NB to 1.10v.Quote:

I second that... is there like a generic guide to OC with p45 mobo, I feel like I don't understand half of what is being said here (that's what happens if you fell out of the loop for a year :p:)Quote:

I have to admit I never went over 1.5NB voltage to test, I tried a quick boot with 1.7Nb voltage but whenever I set a lower PL value it doesn't post or is very unstable in Windows... Think P45 is a bit crippled here over P35/X38/X48
but makes up for it with heavy and easy FSB clocks...
PL is performance level : it's ram related, I'm no technical geek but it increases overal bandwith and lowers latency... overal with this board if you can run a divider (so not 1:1) do it... you are rewarded with a lower PL which brings more performance... I've summed up my findings in the above post with early tests on which PL level to expect... I don't run weird FSB ranges I only do 400 - 450 and 500 :)Quote:

lol, what a coincidence, I'm coming off p5w too... it was a good board but it's showing its age :up: p5q seems to be a very worthy successor, for the price, of course :DQuote:

Totally Awesome!!! Can't believe you hit the magic 4.0Ghz (500X8)!! That is really, really promising. Do we have the same memory kit? (OCZ Platinum Edition 4GB (2X2GB) PC2-8000).Quote:

Now - I need to get my system to where you're at - And get it Prime Stable!!
Start reading up guys :D These guides I found very helpful when I started seriously OC'ing. Hope you find what your looking for.Quote:

NOT WITH YOUR FREEZER !!!! get something better before overclocking ya quad !!Quote:

Now, I'm moving on to wofldale and this board and it's more complicated - more options, etc, so I would like to know what does what. Your links are helpful in general but not with this board, unfortunately.Quote:

Yeah we've the same kit. It should do 1040mhz without tweaking the sub-timings.Quote:

And Prime95 stable can wait til the w-end. I alreay know this chip is 8 hours stable at 3.8ghz on P35

Artic air, water chiller, single stage phase change, rotary phase, cascade phase, dry ice and LN2.Quote:

Cob, post here a screen of the everest memory bench @ 4000 and mem 1:1 ;)
