and how do i fix it ?? maybe thats why my pc is booting on games !
My P5B Deluxe seems to be under-volting the CPU. I set it to 1.3v in BIOS and AI Suite and CPU-Z show the CPU at 1.248v. Is this normal?
Good news, when I initially set the voltage to like 1.250v in BIOS, I'm 100% stable with Windows showing 1.240 @ 3.0GHZ.
Working fine now.Quote:

Thanks!
well...I'm almost sure that is my PSU that is not holding things here.
I reduced my over all the way back to 3 ghz and now i can play again..
next month i'll by a 700 watts psu and try to raise that over again
i should have RMA'ed to asus. I RMA'ed to buy.com where i bought it for. their RMA process sucks. 2+ weeks.
Buy a good brand tho, like Antec, Hiper, Silverstone e.t.c. not thermalcake. You could also try a bit more VCore maybe but if orthos 2004 can run for a few hours it wouldnt be the CPU clock at all.Quote:

I took the heat sinks off the NB and it was barely making contact. I replaced it with an aftermarket chipset cooler, but I would recommend everyone inspect and at least re-TIM and Re-set theirs. May not change your o/c much but it's probably worth doing anyway.
That seems to be the norm for the P5B Deluxe.Quote:

I think that’s the problem across all P5B's from what I have seen.
I tied the DS3 myself and had the exact same experience.
Not a bat overclocker it just wasn’t usable for me.
Hi, can somebody help me, I have 2GB Geil but I have too much problems with them and I want to change tham. I am thinking about G.Skil, maybe about this http://www.jscomputers.cz/G_Skill_20...pId-22232.html Have this G.skill somebody and can you tell me how much I can reach with this g.skil?? thx
I think Im also having the PCI-E 1x trouble, I haven't ever see it say 1x in cpuz but yesterday I went to run 3DMark06 and Aquamark3 all at my normal OC'ed clocks, was getting 5fps in 3D06 whereas I usually 43, and god knows how many in AM3.
BTW, anyone who Runs AM3 do they get problems with the Large Scale Vegetation scene?
I usually get 60-180fps but ATM im getting around 20!

Playing with the voltages on the P5B-e, I came up with some interesting findings.
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/3...17pm121wt3.jpg
Notes of interest here are that 1.375v in the bios provides more real voltage than 1.4v - 1.425v. So like the FSB settings there are preferred bus speeds it looks like the same thing holds true with the voltages. Choosing 1.4v will give you less than 1.375v.
I will complete more testing and try to include voltages in CPUZ during idle and load if I have time tonight. Hopefully this helps someone other than just me! :)
Did you check the voltage with a dmm?
If so, do you know where I can find where the points of contact are to check the vcore?

So what this essentially means, I havent tested it with a meter, however the levels on the P5B-E truely need to be ridiculously high to hit the same volts you would actually get on another board. Its not scientific and for all I know the reading from both boards could be way off from what is actually getting to the CPU - but the point was to match the overclocks...
DS3 1.4 BIOS volts gives me the same volts / overclock with orthos stability / speeds that I need 1.5v on the Asus to reach - however the true voltage is the same.
Thanks.
BTW, I found a thread to check http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&highlight=p5b
just using cpu-z mine is as follows-
1.3vcore set in bios=1.296v on win idle.
1.3vcore set in bios=1.264v running orthos.
is this bad?
Hello Everyone,
I've been playing with my Asus P5B Deluxe Wi/Fi. I overclocked to 3.7 and it seemed to be stable. I was playing BF2142 for about 2 ours and all of a sudden my PC Probe alams go off. The CPU temp jumped to 85c. My alarm is set for 55c. I exited quickly, reset all BIOS 0804 setting to default and went back into window. Now both Speedfan and CPU-Z only see 1 core (see attached pic). The BIOS does see 2 Processors.
Also, I was installing MBM monitoring tool and hadn't rebooted yet. so wen I went to reboot it wouldn't start Windows. I repaired XP and updated back to SP2.
Any ideas why Speedfan/CPU-Z/Orthos now only see 1 core?
Anyone else ever see this?
System spec's in my sig.
I am new to building PC's from scratch but I have a pretty good knowledge base of computer parts and I am interested in doing some slight overclocking. I want to use this computer as a DVR and I also would like to run Vista on it in the future. I have laid out what I think seems to be a decent system. Some components I am unsure about and would like any constructive inputs. Thanks for any help. The items I am missing are listed below.
Motherboard:
ASUS P5B Deluxe Wi-Fi-AP Edition Motherboard
CPU:
Intel® Core 2 Duo E6400 Conroe Processor 2.13GHz, 1066FSB, LGA775, 2MB Cache
CPU Cooling Fan:
??
Video Card:
ATI All-In-Wonder 2006 Edition Radeon X1300 PCI Express 256MB DDR3 Video Card w/DVI-I, VGA & VIVO Retail
Memory:
??
Case:
Thermaltake Black Armor Full-Tower ATX Case with 11 External Drive Bays, Clear Side, Front USB, Firewire and Audio Ports
Power Supply:
??
Hard Drive:
Recommended Brands?
I guess you're not a gamer if you're getting that video card...
Stock fan is fine, if you're not doing heavy overclocking. You can do 3.2ghz easily.
You can do more but some DDR2-6400 (800mhz) will be fine for up to 400fsb, more with volting. Any decent 6400, lots of people like the newer overclocking brands, me, I was lame and got Corsair DDR2-6400 (Cas 5).
Power supply - Enermax, Seasonic are good brands...you won't need but 400 watts I think. Stay away from Antec and cheap crap. Someone will flame me but Antec still has problems these days.
Seagate 7200.10 series has a good combination of speed and price. SATA II, meaning 300 mb/s theoretical burst. You must F6 install Intel's drivers to get that though and remember to take the jumper off the back!

last version : 1.17.08.01. Extract, install and choose standard ide when ask :)
WOW! This board is almost perfect. I'm glad I went with it. Just need to fix their sound now.
anyone use eSATA HDD with the JMICRON?Quote:

Sure, if you are on raid with the Jmicron , you can dl this driver but choose raid installation as usual. That's great about this: it gives you the choice.

dudes....what could i try ?
@vicfalc:
dump the crappy video card and dump the case.
x1300 is super crap. don't even try hdtv with that thing.
get a 7600 or a x1950 pro and that will last you. then a hauppage or some tv tuner for hd OTA.
thermaltake cases are crap, but thats my opinion. since your going to use it with a tv, get a silent one. my p180b is right beside me and with the fans turned down, its only a whisper.
and don't even use a stock cooler if your OC'ing. its totally worth it to get a 3rd-party HSF. such as TT big typhoon, scythe infinity/ninja, tuniq tower 120.
as for the rest, i need to see your budget first.
from what i gather, maybe seagate 320 gig drives in RAID would do for hdtv recording, ocz evostream or silverstone PSU if you can spend the money. for the memory, you should definitely get team 5300 2x1gig kit. don't go ocz for ddr2; ive tried it.
awaiting your response
i got it ! it is my PSU....i turned everything of but the two hard disks and the x1900xt. now no reboots.
so....i'll use it like this until i can by a new PSU next month
Buy an Antec Neo HE. If you want quiet and good power.
Hi I am new to these forums and just return to custom building my own systems.
I currently built a system that I intend to overclock with, but after reading the forums, I am wondering if I purchased the right memory. I am new to overclocking and to building new systems so I am still reading alot on these forums and apologize if this information is to be found somewhere.
My memory timings are very different from what I am seeing people use with the E6600 and Asus P5B-DLX.
I am listing my current system status. I am unsure whether I should keep pushing FSB or not, until I better determine if my memory timings will mess up my overclocking.
E6600 @ 3.0 ghz (334 x 9)
Asus P5B-DLX Bios: 0507
geforce 7600 gs (until 8800 gtx arrives)
OCZ 2g10002gk pc8000 Gold XTC @ 5-6-6-15
WD Raptor 10k rpm
Zalman 9700 HSF
thermaltake 650 W PSU
everything currently seems stable @ 334 x 9
but unsure how far to push with this memory timings.
also unsure about Bios version.
Should I exchange this Ram kit for something else?
or is is my hardware ok and i just need to adjust things?
currently i have only upped the FSB.
thank you.
update:
actually i seem to be hitting 400 x 9 for 3.6 ghz ok

Now no matter what settings I use, nothing will let me get past 385FSb (3080MHz) Id like to know how you guys are reaching 400+FSb? Also would the eVGA 680i clock better than this board?
@vicfalc
I'm posting here instead of PM since it probably will be help to other people in your boat.
Criteria: HDTV watching (all in one gfx card), e6400, and p5b. budget $900 PLUS a good overclock :D
e6400
p5b dlx
team group 5300 (d9gmh)
HDDs of your choosing
nvidia 7600 + hauppauge (or ati) tuner (you can't get away with a good gfx card and a tuner all in one)
scythe infinity or big typhoon
this so far kinda is tight on your budget at 900. psu and case are your choices too, 500w seasonic will be enough, and the case...if it is certainly a HTPC, then you'll need something quiet, then comes into account size and airflow. look over at SPCR (silentpcreview). they're quite up to date.
This is probably the most we can help you, because the less minor specifics have flexibility. a HTPC at $900 is certainly doable.
there are some FSB hules. Try 425 or higher FSB and see if it works.. Also play with the voltageQuote:

Have you done any stress testing yet? Doing Orthos or duel instances of Prime will test your CPU Cores at 100%. You should be able to run for over 2 hours without getting too hot. Your at 52c at idle right now... You have to be comfortable with the temps. The E6600 is rated for 60c max.
You are down rev on the BIOS. Update that to 0804. I've seen that 0903 is out but it's not on ASUS so it must be a beta version (anyone have a comment on 903 and whether to get/use it or not?)
Are all of your BIOS settings the defaults other than the FSB and Memory timings? There are good stickies on starting settings and how to tweek.

set your fsb to 401 and go from there. i didn't even try anything from 266-401 fsb. the motherboard has a hard time clocking in that area because the northbridge is getting worked really hard. it relaxes things after 400 fsb.Quote:

Cdelong,
Would you be able to help me peice a system together
so far I have a E6400 in mind
with the P5B deluxe obviously
I want to run vista aero in the future and I am doing some television recording what are your reccomendations for memory and cpu fans, i have justin_c giving me some ides too I just want to put together a nice system and get into some overclocking,
ive never done overclocking before but i want to start on a nice setup.
Thanks
I like the Ballistix 2x1gb kit- ..... $309 at newegg- you could spend less and be happy, but I don't skimp on memory or PSU's.
HSF- I like the Zalman 9500 or 9700 CNPS. Scythe Ninja is popular as well, but it's HUGE.
HDD- 300+gb SATAII drive... whatever size you can afford.
believe me on the PSU's...... for the money, Enermax and OCZ hold some of the best voltages under load. I've tried many PSU's running OCCT. Look at the voltage graphs after running the test. Every Antec I tried was all over the place- and had a significant drop in the voltage lines. My Enermax was the most solid and the OCZ is really good as well. For $89 the Eneermax I linked is really a great value and an even better PSU. The only reason I didn't get it for this present rig, is that it's not sleeved and I'm too lazy to sleeve it on my own although I did it with my last one. The OCZ is already sleeved.
Here's my current rig from newegg... I put it on a saved wish list and made it public. I dumped the HSF's for WC'ing..... everything else is the same. I don't have the hdd on there, but I have a Seagate 300gb SATAII and another Seagate 320gb SATAII. Seagate's have been reliable for me
and I usually stick with what I've had good luck with in the past.
This rig takes my E6400 to 3.5Ghz @ 1.47v in bios- 1.44v in CPU-Z and ASUS PC Probe- it's dual Prime 95 stable.
https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion...asp?ID=4680407
I recommend the ballistix kit that I have in my sig for sure. i used memtest86 up to 1080 mhz and it was perfectly stable at good timings on my p5b. once i realized i couldn't get my fsb any higher than 505 though i stopped testing.
check out this psu too. i am thinking about replacing my puny one with this.

I don't want to sound negative... but
isn't this thread suppose to be about "problem's and fixes" ??
How come there is so much 'PC Build' chat?
SurlyPlatypus,
Thanx for the tips. While the mobo and CPU could benchmark and load windows fine at 3.6ghz, they were running hot , peaking > 70.
ATM 3.37 ghz seems to be the highest Orthos Stable clock I can reach without getting more cooling.
The mobo and cpu seem capable of handling much more so i guess ill need a water cool upgrade to truly test how much they can handle but im quite happy with how they have performed.
Im about to update the BIOS now to 0804.
Ive been reading some of the stickies but I dont feel comfortable enough yet tweaking my mem timings since these OCZ timing seem relatively odd.
Also it seems clear, cooling should be my next step.

whats the name of your wishlist that link doesnt take you right to it.
Thanks
PM me your email- I'll send it to you. The tab is $1400... including a BenQ 21" LCD and all parts needed if you were starting from nothing. Add $300 for the watercooling I have, but either one of the HSF's I'll send you will do the job.Quote:

Right now my cpu is running at 2.8 (400x7) and is completely stable with dual orthos runnin for 12 hours. Once i start pushing my fsb higher than 400 though my mem seems to get overclocked past 800 mhz and creates instabilities. I tried lowering the speed through the dram frequency option in the bios but it wont let me go below 800mhz at 400 fsb. How do i set up mem dividers so i can push my fsb higher?
The most forgiving divider you can do is 1:1, which at 400 mhz is the spec for your RAM.
What you want to do is thoroughly test the RAM using memtest at a low fsb and higher divider until you get a feel for its limitations. Only then start to overclock, because you will know when the RAM is holding you back and when it is something else.
You may want to increase the RAM voltage a couple notches over spec to what you feel comfortable with before you begin. Be forewarned that some RAM gives good results using voltage, but some just sucks no matter what you try.
Or you could ebay the 6400 ram you have and buy the kit I got off newegg.com for 309$ :)
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I have the same one! I get the STOP: 0x0000007b error when I try to install Windows XP Pro SP2 with all the latest updates. I do not understand as my Windows Pro installation DVD will install successfully using my older PC (it is a burnt copy). Do you think the Core 2 Duo processors or Asus mobos detect "illegal" copies of the disk and this is why? Something is fishy here... :para:Quote:

Ive tried sending different voltages to memory but that didnt seem to help, how do you set up your Mem voltages?
Also, do you let Asus set RAM speed on Auto or do you adjust manually?
I havent yet tried using upward memory divider, didnt see that in BIOS so I will look into that again.
Otherwise I cant seem to load in Windows with FSB greater than 350-360.
Going to keep reading threads, thanx for tips, anything else is greatly appreciated.
Also curious about new BIOS that was posted, may try that later night.

According to Tony's NBCC formula: 9/8x465=523 NB frequency.
465 fsb lies on the 1333 strap with relaxed timings. spi timings suck, period. compared to my 400x9 timings.
max fsb i get is 467 (non stable), which is where tony points out the memory bandwidth (not latency) would be comparable to that of the bandwidth at fsb 400 on the variation of latency "1067-1333" strap.
the max my chip will go is 3720 mhz orthos stable at 1.6 volts (a bit much, not necessary to run at 1.6, only added just incase after long load it drops and crashes the cpu).
i want to see how far this cpu will go. i know its not my board because there is no fsb wall (which tony refers to as a misdiagnosed "nb wall"). the NB will go to 523 mhz for sure. my memory is stable at the fsb (ddr2 at 1:1).
is my cpu limiting me (meaning that the max operating frequency is 3720 @465x8)? or is it the nb? is there a fsb hole?
what other combinations should i try?
will post spi times for 1m later.
i just installed a 400 gb seagate sata 2 drive. my main OS drive is raptor. raptor drive is partitioned into 2 drives. XP was installed without hitting f6.
i just ran HD tach. my seagate drive is getting 260 MB/sec while my raptor is only getting 136 MB/sec. WHAT IS GOING ON?
don't lend so much weight to HDTach.
I have an X-Fi and nVidia card installed.Quote:

I am wondering if the new Intel processors have built-in piracy protection hence it does not like my custom copy.. anybody know anything on this and would like to share...
What's the real deal on actual CPU voltage with this board? A setting of 1.45v in BIOS gives me 1.38v in every monitoring progam in Windows. 1.50v in bios gives me 1.44v in Windows. I'm running the 804 bios.
Has the discrepency been confirmed by anyone with a Fluke??
asus undervolts about .05v especially noticable on cpu and ram.
are you oc?Quote:

Today 12:54 AM
On the Seagate there is a small jumper where you can reduce link speed to max 150 Mb/sec also, to be compatible with SATA I boards. Note that burst is not equal the sustained rate.

Remove your PCI X-Fi card during install.Quote:

is the p5b deluxe non wifi running corsair dominator ram 1066 MHZ 1:! to fsb???
without problems??

thanks mel!
Yes, E6600 @ 3GHz (300 fsb). Patriot PEP21G6400LL PC2-800MHz@ 900MHz.Quote:

You just set ramdivider to 1:2, and you will get 266Mhz*4 = 1064Mhz. If you're gonna overclock you may have to set 2:3 or something, based on what fsb you get.Quote:

Anyone have any suggestions on another board to try ?Quote:

Could you tell us more info about the memory you used? I hope they were not the same.
The chipset can handle a very high dram frequency, lets say ~~550~~600. Memory mustnt be a problem while overclocking.Quote:

Had the voltage set to 2.25. These modules are suppose to be set to 2.2 for Cas 4. 2.25 shows up in windows as 2.2 Just manually setting the parms (as the board does not do EPP) Cas 4 is the 400 MHZ profile. They are also rated to do 500 MHZ at Cas 5. Just did an RMA with Crucial for new chips. Asus is already closed for Christmas :( Can't do an RMA until after. This board has been flaky all along. Probably just got a bad one.
It could be the combination of the mobo-mem.
Try different memory instead of crucial.
It is on the approved memory list for the board. That is why I got it. Just sent RMA to Crucial. Would you not recommend to RMA the board ?? It died and took me two days to bring it back. Now the memory is fried again ??Quote:

if your board takes 2 days to revive then i would suggest ditching the board if you cannot get a refund.
you can RMA it but get a different board.
Well, it is too late to do anything but RMA it to Asus and Asus is closed for Christmas. I am sure they will give me another P5B Deluxe. Once this is done, the question might be try different memory or different board ?? Sell the old memory or board ?? What luck have other folks had with Crucial Memory on this board ?? Is anyone doing Cas 4 with the Crucial Memory on this board ?Quote:

need to know how far i can push this before it stops, because im in for upgrades this christmas boxing day.
Hi.
I just installed a new bios.. and was testing.
got it to boot at 530 Mhz fsb. then I just for the fun of it, tried 540.. but now it won't boot.. ..normally it just automatic detect a bad oc, and go to default settings.
I have tried to reset bios (for a couple of mins with jumper on clear cmos).
but nothing works.. no post, no beeps from system.. it worked before..
I didn't change any v settings.. only the fsb.
is my mb (against my thoughts) dead ?

ps. have tried to remove power, and battery for 30 secs.
