Hi Guys/Amurtigress,

Have you any recommendations on what I should set in the bios for my specs?

RAM:
Corsair XMS3 DHX DDR3 TWIN KIT 2X2048-1333 (1GBx2) X 2 (4 sticks of 1GB each, 2 dual channel kits) - model CM3X1024-1333C9DHX

Processor:
Intel Q9550

Motherboard
P5Q3 Deluxe Rev 1.02G, BIOS 1402

I have tried your settings without any CPU overclocking paramaters (e.g. CPU voltage was set to auto, and CPU ratio setting was 8.5, and memory speed was 1333 etc)

I have been trying to get things stable (e.g. memtest) with these parameters. I have even tried trfc set to 110 but still get errors within the first 10 minutes of testing.

One thing to note is that legacy usb is set to on in my bios , since I am using a bootable usb and running memtest off it. In the corsair forums they recommend to disable legacy usb support (but when I do this, I lose USB functionality). Should I test with a floppy instead ?

I have also read in the corsair forums that if I am to use 4 sticks then I should lower the memory speed to 1066 - if I do this, would I lose a lot of performance? Could I then have tighter trfc timings (I think a loose trfc can also lead to bad memory performance). Should I get 2 X 2GB instead?

I haven't tried with default bios settings btw - is that something I should do first? Lets say the system is stable at 'stock' settings (e.g. if I use 1GB X 2 only, or even 1GB X 4), does that mean the board will automatically downclock everything to a very slow speed for compatiblity (e.g. reset bios to default, then use memtest)?

Would appreciate any help, thanks

With old setting I can't do spi or everest because I had freezing :)

Well, frankly, I think it's not worth the hassle to try and get 1600 stable. I've seen posts stating that people are getting better throughput at 1333.

2 GB modules are a bit more of a load for the NB, but not as much as 4x1 GB. It is possible that you cannot get 1600 at all.

Other than that, Sav, I don't know your full timing settings, hence I can't tell you more than that.

BND: It is likely that the board is changing the FSB Strap once you hit 600. I'd recommend to see which FSB strap is active and stable below 600 and then set this strap manually. Just guessing...I remember on the P5B Deluxe when people were getting to FSB 400 it all got stable but from 366-399 there was a stability hole...

Hi,

first off it would be helpful if you posted your settings like BND does.

1) Legacy USB. I read it, and I know about issues of some older mainboards with it enabled, but I can't tell if this is affecting stability for you. A floppy might be worth a shot...but it's not my first guess.

2) Memory at 1066. RAM that is not being specified to run in two pairs on this board is likely not specified because it cannot hit the memory clock it was sold as. But usually the next lower step (1066) should work one way or the other. As for losing performance, I'd say you try and get it stable at 1066 first and benchmark with Everest. Then work your way up, with somewhat looser timings. Eventually benchmark with Everest on the unstable but stable enough system to see what you're losing.

In my case 1600 does only work with one pair of modules and only with the XMP programmed set. Weird enough I got two packages of the same modules and one set had XMP programming....

As for defaults, they won't work due to the falsely set tRRD timing (5 instead of 8-10). You can certainly leave all at auto and only set tRRD (RAS to RAS delay) to 8-10...

Hope that helps

My first post at xtremesystems...

hi guys...this is my first post @ xtremesystems.org...:D
nice to know you all...hahahaha...I think I have the same probem with you BND_MOD...:p:
I can't go with FSB 600...I don't know for sure, this is because of my motherboard chipset limitation or my processor FSB wall, because I've tried to pull the voltage for CPU to 1,6v...Still can't reach FSB 600...:confused:
I've also tried to push vNB to 1,56v and vFSB to 1,48v...still can't make this motherboard to reach FSB 600...:(

I just can reach FSB 575 with this motherboard...

This Board starts annyoing me.

I got LLC enabled. I cant put up any VCore between 1,240 and 1,248.

Sames goes for VCore between 1,248 and 1,256.

Though smaller steps are available in the Bios-Setup.

Under certain circumstances its overvolting under Load. :shakes:

(NO I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT LLC - ITS THE OPPOSITE OF VDROOP.)

And it got a VDrop of 0,02.

Anybody can help with CPU margin Enhancement ? What will it Change ?

So you recommend me to set FSB strap 200/266/333/400 to test and get estability?

Yes. the FSB strap is being adjusted at certain FSB clocks when set to auto. To keep that from happening set a FSB strap AND DRAM frequency manually.

Yes, I think so ;)

I think that we must accept a compromise with this motherboard (or chipset), because it's very fast with 1333 memory, but if is possible for quick test I want to use 1600/1800 frequency :D

@d3885u

very nice, can you post prime setting?;)

Hi Amurtigress,

Thanks for your quick response - I have now used the CD iso version of memtest (straight from memtest website) so its booting from the cd room and straight into test - for some reason it is very slow as compared to booting off a USB and doing memtest - if I use a usb to boot from dos and do memtest, it goes to 7% in about 7 minutes, whereas with with the iso version, it does 7% in about 1/2 hour.

I have two more questions:

you said

"Memory at 1066. RAM that is not being specified to run in two pairs on this board is likely not specified because it cannot hit the memory clock it was sold as."

What does this mean? I am using two pairs of DD3 1333MHz dual channel memory kit that was on the QVL of this motherboard - and also tested in all 4 slots:

http://216.239.59.104/search?q=cache...ient=firefox-a

search for "CM3X1024-1333C9DHX" on the above page - in the "DIMM socket support (Optional)" column you will see that the C configuration has a star under it , which means it has been tested by asus in the following manner:

"C* : Supports 4 modules inserted into both the orange and black slots as two pairs of Dual-channel memory configuration"

Also you said:

"Then work your way up, with somewhat looser timings."

How do I do this in increments? Do I change the memory speed if I find out that memtest is stable (and what are the increments?)? If I up the memory speed, what other parameters do I need to tweak. How long do I test memtest for (how many passes?) before it is safe to say the ram is stable?

You also said:
"Eventually benchmark with Everest on the unstable but stable enough system to see what you're losing.""

I am not sure how something can be "unstable but stable" at the same time. Do you mean to say that after I keep on tweaking the memory speed on my system/retesting with memtest, the first time I get memtest errors, I should revert to previous good memory speed, and install XP, go back to the same memory speed again (the one that gave first signs of problems with memtest), go into windows and retest with everest?

The board is not "bad" when using it as a "normal" computer. This is for instance more than enough for daily use regarding memspeed and FSB:
http://loppmarknader.se/blossas_albu.../10001/605.JPG

My "problem" with this board is that it is not strong enough to be able to "compete" with boards that does way over 630MHz FSB benchable.

This board is kindof a cheapout for someone looking for a cursory P45+DDR3 board.
That's why I bought it, and why I inevitably returned it.

1) the memory at 1066. Okay, I thought they were not certified for four DIMMs. My fault but it still means what I said. <g>

2) Unstable. Unstable can mean either your system doesn't even boot. It boots and crashes after a while. Or it works well overall but makes calculation errors under extreme load.
In most cases you can STILL run software like Everest and see how much you get under 1333 to compare to 1066, even if it's not entirely stable.

3) Working your way up: Find a stable setting even if you are underclocking certain parts. A stable FSB clock, etc. And then increase it and adjust other timings to get further up.

4) losen timings. Use more clocks on the memory timings if your present settings don't work stable. Give the chipset and RAMs more TIME to complete their tasks.

Seriously, how many threads about stabilizing systems and mainboards have you read so far? Man you are dealing with three screen pages worth of settings only about overclocking in your BIOS. Most of them cannot just be set and "work", a well part would have to be figured out for your individual combination of RAM, your particular board and processor. No system is like another in all regards when you're getting to the very limits of what you can squeeze out of your hardware....

Not a lot actually, all I am trying to find out is that if the problems are being caused by the ram occupying all 4 slots, so will I have a better chance to stabilise my system with only a dual channel kit (but still 4GB) - I don't need to overclock, and never will. I just need a stock, trouble free system, in which I do not need to go into the bios at all. My last computer upgrade was about 4 years ago, and I got an asus p4c800-e deluxe with kingston hyperx dual channel kit - added rest of the components - et voila; never had to go into the bios. The reason I have to go into the bios NOW is that the ram is not being run at 1333MHZ if I set everything to auto, so what's the point of buying expensive memory and having to downclock it?

The thing is, I need guidance on only a few settings as I am not going to overclock my system. If it's just a little overclock (5% changes, ) AND if I don't have to install an aftermarket cooler after this, I will probably start tweaking a few settings. Otherwise I just need a plug and play kind of scenario. If I do have to setup numerous parameters for ram on this board no matter which brand I install, then probably this motherboard is not for me.

NB Voltage looks okay, should be enough up to roughly FSB 460.

And, what gave me sudden stability:

Set PCI-E frequency to 101, not auto/100!

If i make the changes listed within the last page or so(Ras to Ras, etc.. ) should that help with stabilizing at 1600?

Here are my bios settings: Is my NB voltage ok, or should I raise that?

Kingston recommends 9-9-9-27 @ 1.9V but I BSOD when I attempt this.

Any suggestions?
