Dumb question here peoples' but could use an answer: In order to run dual channel on this board, do you install the ram in the 2 slots next to each other, or use the same color slots?

Speedstep won't work at all ...
Anyone seeing those "problems" ?
cheers
i run opposite colors, right in the center with dimms closest to each other. still dual channel. I think that as long as you have them in seperate sides you will be dual channel. Meaning one stick on each side of the gap, regardless of color.Quote:

Did it happen to anyone else and if yes how do i solve this?:confused:
yup thats what i found out too..... opp sides -> dual channel.Quote:

I had same prob with e6300 and Crucial Anv. mem. I tried different ram and same thing. It would only boot if I started playing around moving the ram from slot to slot. It would do this with any volts, settings, resets I tried. Sometimes it would magically boot again after appearing dead for hours.Quote:

I've had my system together for a few months now and for the mostpart it's been running great, however, I've been getting some BSOD's for the past few weeks. I ran Prime95 and it failed.
Since I'm running 2 sticks I pulled out one and tested the other and it did not cause Prime95 to fail.
Shutdown and pulled out the supposedly good stick, and put in the remaining one for testing. Once I did that my machine would not post. So I pulled that stick out and replaced it with the first one and powered up but my machine would still not post.
After perusing various support threads I went out and bought a cheap stick of DDR2 from CompUSA and now my machine posts and boots fine.
At this point I went into the BIOS and upped the memory voltage to 2.10, shutdown, and popped in a Crucial stick but my machine still won't post with either Crucial stick plugged in.
Unfortunately I have no other DDR2 compatible motherboard laying around to test my memory so I have no idea if my Crucial sticks are still functional or dead.
Any suggestions?
System used to run just fine, but then the cold boots started getting worse and it would frequently crash with 2 sticks of ram. I would take one out seeming that it was a bad stick and it would boot with both installed. But if I then moved the supposed good stick to any other slot the system would fail to boot until I replace the supposed good ram with the other bad stick.
I used 804 and tried the 910 with no luck. I am currently waiting for New Egg to ship me my replacement board. I hope this fixes this.
I have heard of cold boot and other problems, but this was just plain STRANGE! :eek:
OK, I have my memory filled in both YELLOW slots, is this OK?Quote:

It won't fry it. It will actually prolong the chips life-Less volts=less heat=Longer life. Also Asus probably wouldn't do anything about it.Quote:

Lets talk about a serious problem here. How about that dam northbridge heatsink? It keeps on overheating and costs me stability. You guys think an IceberQ would do the trick?
Have you tried just lapping the damn thing and putting it back with some AS5 or Ceramique ? Worked for me, but I also have a cooler that really blows some air all around, SI-128 with a Nexus 120mm fan.
Well if your problem is more important then, have you tried placing a 40mm fan over it? Also try removing all the thermal glue and replacing it with AS5.Quote:

Btw, anyone had problems fitting a Big Typhoon or a Zalman CNPS 9500 ?
I'm thinking in getting one of those, but don't know which one fits best.
TTBT fits perfectly.Quote:

The 9500 looks only nice but the Typhoon do his job better.
My Zalman 9700 is overkill. It even covers the northbridge which is why i havent modded the heatsink with a fan yet. This is why iv been thinking about a nice low profile cooler such as a Vantec IceberQ with some AS5. Also from what hear the heatpipe is useless so if I do get my IceberQ can i remove the stock northbridge heatsink and tear off the heat pipe?
Hello everybody,
i've got a problem with my Asus P5B Deluxe + Pentium D 945.
Here are my Specs:
* Processor: Pentium D 945
* Bios Revision: 0804
* Memory: G.Skill 6400CL4D-2GBJS
* Configured Voltages: 1,4750v (vCore), 2,4V (vMem) ; everything else at stock
* Configured FSB: 265
* Configured Ratio: 17
* Configured Memory Timings: 4-4-4-8
* Any other applicable configuration modifications: -
Now to my prob...
I can't go over FSB 265.
If i set the fsb to 266 my board won't boot...
I tried: more vCore, different divisors, different timings , but nothing helped...
Is there any solution for my problem?
Sorry if you discussed this theme already..
Best Regards
Dennis
PS: Sorry for my bad english... :)

Hey,
thanks for your quick answer :)
My cpu runs dual prime -, benchmark - and gamestable...
1mhz more on the fsb should boot...either its unstable, but it should boot...
I raised the vCore to 1.55v in the Bios without another result...
Maybe its a kind of FSB Wall like someone else had in the thread " Hit a wall at 333fsb conroe @ 3.0ghz..any ideas? "with his conroe @ FSB 333...
Best Regards
Dennis
PS: Sorry for my bad english =)
Edit: I can't lower my multiplier in the bios...
would putting the optional fan on the voltage regs sink keep the nb cooler? the heatpipe sends the heat to that i guess,so putting the fan on there would cool the nb too,yes?
i've had my 6300 running at 3.5ghz(500fsb) now for weeks,and its totally stable.and i got a x-fi extreme music to solve the sound problems.cracking sound card.
oh and i got rainbow six vegas for xmas,highly recomended.

That's why I'm running a 9x392.

I have to select S3 Only in Bios to shutdown fans when entering in suspend mode.
I would be really interested if some other guys here , running at FSB >400, could try to enter in suspend mode, and resume...

Tigger....yes it will help alot to put the fan on the heat spreaders. Also Inteleron...have you taken off that piece of aluminum that is wrapped around the NB with the Asus label on it? It restricts airflow and is ineffecient with it on there. Take is off if not and lap, AS5 and reinstall. I have no serious issues with the NB, although a good AM heatsink would be a better solution. Not really sure about the iceberQ though
Do you guys have the 'ACPI 2.0 Support' enabled or disabled?
from TechARP:
Quick Review
While its name hints that this BIOS feature is a toggle to enable ACPI 2.0 features, this is not the case. Enabling this BIOS feature does not turn on ACPI 2.0, while disabling it turns on the original ACPI 1.0 standard.
This BIOS feature merely determines if ACPI support is enabled on the motherboard chipset level. The name ACPI 2.0 Support merely means that this motherboard supports the ACPI 2.0 standard.
If enabled, ACPI support will be enabled on the motherboard chipset level. If the operating system supports ACPI, it can then use ACPI to configure the hardware, as well as control the system's power management features.
If disabled, ACPI support will be disabled on the motherboard chipset level. Even if the operating system supports ACPI, it cannot use ACPI to configure the hardware or control its power management features.
It is recommended that you enable this BIOS feature. This allows an ACPI-compliant operating system to fully control the configuration of hardware devices and their power management.
Please note that for Microsoft Windows to run in ACPI mode, it needs to be installed with ACPI enabled in the BIOS. If you switch from ACPI to non-ACPI mode, or vice versa, Microsoft Windows will fail to boot. You need to reinstall Microsoft Windows everytime you switch modes.
And also the 'ACPI APIC Function'?:
Quick Review
This BIOS feature is used to enable or disable the motherboard's APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller). The APIC provides multiprocessor support, more IRQs and faster interrupt handling.
However, it is only supported by newer operating systems like Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Older operating systems like DOS or Windows 95/98 do not support this feature.
It is recommended that you enable this feature if you are using a newer operating system like Windows XP. Disable it only if you are using an older operating system like DOS or Windows 95/98.
In addition, if you notice clicks and pops when you are listening to music or working with audio files, try disabling this BIOS feature. Some PCI audio cards work better with APIC disabled.
Please note that if you have earlier installed Windows XP with ACPI enabled in the BIOS, Windows XP will no longer boot up if ACPI is disabled in the BIOS. You will need to reinstall Windows XP.
When you load the Windows XP installation routine, the following message will appear on screen :
Press F6 if you have to install a third-party SCSI or RAID driver.
At this point, press the F5 key (not F6!). You can also press the F7 key to immediately load the Standard PC HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) during the installation process.
If you press the F5 key, you will be given a choice of selecting the computer type. Select Standard PC. Using the Standard PC HAL, in conjunction with a single IRQ for the sound card, can improve its performance. (Thanks, Johnny!)
Ok, I have ACPI 2.0 Support - Disabled- because thats what it was at default- although in the manual it implies it should be enabled but for ACPI APIC Support - it was Enabled by default so i left it. Gah so ACPI 2 is supposed to be better than 1.0- now i have to reinstall to get it..

Hi all,
I've a big problem :(
Yesterday I was playing FIFA and the pc shutdown without any reason.
I thinked that was graphic card. I turned off my PSU and changed the graphic card but the PC didn't turn on anymore.
When I power on the system I can listen a little little noise and it shutdown immediately.
Someone had this problem?
[]s
Oh！yeah！good Job！
I had the same problem! Different cause though.Quote:

Whenever I completely turn off my power supply then turn it on again and I attempt to power on my system I hear a little noise from the power supply attempting to turn on. I replaced my power supply which was the antec neo he 500w and everything is good again.
Since you experienced the same thing kinda, I'm wondering if these boards are killing psus.
I've the same problem.. the blue leds are on but when I power on the PSU the red led just turn on during millisecondsQuote:

Hello,
@nero
try to remove the 24 Pin plug off the mainboard (dont turn off your psu and dont remove the powercable (the blue light has to shine)) after that wait about 5s and put the 24 pin plug back on the board...

= ( time to look for a replacement board my p5b had died during the hollidays , came home yesterday to a dead rig. Had the dead ramslots before i went away so i guess it finally gave up , third freaking board :mad: all anus sorry asus :mad:
p5w64 ws pro DOA 400$ (3000swedish kr)
p5w-dh lost onboard lan 300$
p5b deluxe 250$ lost ramslot 1+2 and now fans spin lead lights up but no post = (
Asus doesent even answer my email = (
i lost onboard lan on my p5b deluxe
my onboard sounds dead..it lasted 2 weeks..i have tried everrything to get it to work but no go...had to put audigy in now im down a pci slot :-(
i suppose 2 weeks for the sound is better than my last P5b-delux ..that whole board fried after 2 weeks lol.. It smoked up like a bushfire in Melbourne..
I think my LAN 1 is dead too ...
First I don't know why the Lan 1 that should be the primary is named Generic on the device manager, lol.
Second my router is showing as this connection as 100 Half duplex .... I tried manually setting full duplex but it didn't change.
About the ACPI 2.0 ...
I have it disable , but what I could figure it add's more tables of the ACPI 2.0 standard ... It's at the 3.0 already ... Does this downgrades to 2.0 or changes from 1.0 to 2.0 ...
I have to clue, the bios standard setting is with this options disabled.
I'm going to format soon, if anyone have any clue if it's good to this setting being enabled, tell now and be quiet forever :)
[edit] Btw, anyone know why [Vanderpool technology] options is grayed out ? I can't disable it on the latest bios[804]
[edi2] Strangely the manual says that [ACPI 2.0 support] is enabled by default, but with bios 804 when I select default setting it set's it as disabled
i thought my firewall box shut donw yesterday so i rebooted it and all only to figure out changing from one to the second LAN connection got me connected.........hmmmm i hope it's not dead..........did anyone actually experience these dying ?Quote:

Having ACPI 2.0 disabled means ACPI 1.0 is on- im going to just enable it when I get vista lol
smells like a group complaint ( dont now the english word for it ) since asus doesnt answer email :mad: 3 dead boards and a :banana::banana::banana::banana:load of hours spent im getting sick of asus , never experienced problems like this before i mean i can understand that a faulty board or two goes undetected at the factory but seems to be a whole lot of boards dying or loosing lan/ramslots etc.

i've seen other people try to rma boards that they broke ocing too, wtf. be an adult and accept that you broke it, it was never defective.
btw i oc my p5b-d's so i'm not saying anything against ocing or modding just that people need to accept responsibility for their actions.
Dude if they sell a board with options to overclock and make money marketing it to the oc community the board unmodded ofcourse should atleast be able to handle a resonable oc without loosing ramslots onboard lan or dying no ?
missed the modded part but its not the only board that has had problems :rolleyes: ofcourse its deffective by design if some of the settings they put in spec
makes the board lose lan , ramslots or even burn .....
if it works for 99% perhaps its only 1% that use the settings that cause the problems thats not any kind of evidence that the board is not faulty but i see your point.
i guess im a little frustrated =(

and as for some settings not working with some equipment, that is because there needs to be a wide range of options available on say a 965 chipset to allow mobo makers and consumers to use a wider range of devices. so obviously not every setting works with every component and some may destroy components. it even says so in the bios!
On the box it says adjust speed as you wish .... i adjusted speed as i wished and the board died. faulty ? yes. killing other parts then the mobo itself ive said nothing about as i said i missed that that guy had moded his board.
my only problem is that these boards die when wee use settings provided and advertised by asus. ive said nothing about other components. Never actully killed any other component. AND it has happend to me on 2 different boards whitin 1 month.

i thought i killed my first p5b-d i oc'd particularly hard all volts maxed and when i rebooted nothing no beep nada so i completely went through everythingand gave up. got on girlfriends pc and bought a new board and payed for over night. the next day it booted like nothing was wrong (with minimal set-up, 1 dimm etc. i kept the new board and installed it because i still didn't completely trust the old one.
and btw my 6600 is a 30a also so far 9x 500=4500mhz dual 32m stable, 1m stable @ 4700. ram is my limit i got crucial 10th ann.edition and it isn't very stable above 1030 or so or else nb isn't stable one or the other but i haven't needed max vcore yet so i think the chip has more in it. heck it can prime @ 4ghz with just 1.4 in bios, droop and all.
what psu do you use?
my 30A doesnt even come close to those speeds need about 1.6v for 3880 max bootable is around 3980.
Might be another issue but i have tried everything i can think of , clear cmos over night , minimal setup etc.
Also theres one or two others that has had the exact same problem as me in this
thread so im guessing it has hapend to other people aswell.
Using a seasonic s12 600w

I could live without onboard lan ... at least lan 2 is working for me.
Mine is still working but it shows at Half-duplex only ... and when I check the log of my router is keeps changing from 10 to 100 ethernet ... weird. It's probably going to fail all the way soon.
is that the top port or bottom port.............i think my bottom port doesn't seem to function but i am yet to investigate to be honestQuote:

oh well, i'll have to check it out in detail when i move the connection to the other room tomorrow.
oh btw has anyone gotten both lanports working at gigabit speed ? mine seems impossible to set anything over 100full , lan1 connected to a gigabit switch and lan2 to a 3com gigabit nic so should be full speed but isnt = ( oh well time to go and get a new board now.
All these dead lanports raise a question, is that something to do with setting the PCI-E frequency too high?
i know that the Intel chipset will drop off line on the Asus 975X board above 120 MHz on the PCIe bus speed.
What's with all these death of components on the board?
Poor quality components... It is made in China.

My first post here :)
To fix the 1x PCIe , do the following
In NB :
PEG Force 1x => Disable
PEG Link Mode => Auto (if you change this to Normal it'll go 1x)
Asus C.G.I => Disable
In SB:
PCIEX16_2/PCIEX1_1 Force => X4Mode (fast)
that's it , no need to add voltage or increase the PCIe freq
does anybody have problem with bios 0804 report the wrong ram number at POST screen ? Mine is OCZ PC6400 , but if I set FSB anything more than 400 then it'll say my ram is a 4300 ... weird.
No fix for that, its normalQuote:

Try booting with one stick of ram. Then if still nothing, try moving the stick to other slots.Quote:

So far
1) C.P.R does not work (as on p. 2-22)
2) Clear RTC RAM (p. 2-22) does not work
3) memory reseats, etc. do not work
4) put OS in the CD, just in case, does not work.
Symptoms: No POST, just power on, then powers itself off, then powers itself on, but never posts. Since the machine does get past the self-test, I never see anything on the screen. . . .
Did you unplug all your drives and pull all the other cards?Quote:

Be sure the BIOS jumper is on the right pins if you had moved it to clear the BIOS.
Try moving your video card to the other slot. Make sure video card power is connected/reseat.
Try reseating the power cables to the mb.
Try a different video card.
Try another power supply if you have one.
With all that done and it still wont boot in min config, it could be the board is dead. Could be CPU, but I doubt it.
What make is your mem?Quote:

Mine is the top lan that is not working ...
My router show it constantly changing from half to full duplex and from 10mb to 100mb
Bottom lan seems to be doing fine.
Cheers !
Actuallt i posted the problems ive experienced with 3 asus boards on their forum and sent a mail to asus but no response yet :mad: and i paid close to 300$ with swedish tax. Wouldnt mind paying 300 for a board that works as it should with decent support but 2 rma's in 6 weeks and no suport is to freaking much !

I guess when you do find something that works
leave the:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: thing alone
WTF is with asus!? the bios flashing works half the time, 1/4 of the time u can clear the cmos with the jumper, the other 1/4, well the board's history....
checked all my stuff on my other build. runs perfectly. Now all i did this time was change my memory back to spd timings. now when i save changes, the board dies. i don't think it'll ever wake again...:mad: :mad: :mad:
wow... isn't there crashfree bios 3 on these boards? Couldn't you recover the bios from usb flash stick?
I am still waiting for my 1st RMA from NewEgg for my PB5. I hope its the last RMA for this board I have to deal with.
Seems there are more people having trouble with this board the longer it has been out. Mine was toast after only 2 months. I know a ton of people swear by them, I find myself swearing at it.
Sad thing is, I exchanged a DS3 for this turd because I had trouble with the on board sound and had to eat 15%. :(

No problems here yet...I have had mine since mid-August.
Of course I am out of the country right now. No doubt having said that, when I get back my system won't boot...
