Wow, I got 16x working today on every reboot! Played around with vMCH voltage, dropped it to 1.45v and FSB Termination to 1.40v and bam!! Works.

Wow, I got 16x working today on every reboot! Played around with vMCH voltage, dropped it to 1.45v and FSB Termination to 1.40v and bam!! Works.
Thx! Gonna try it as soon as I get home, because upping the PCI-express freq only works the first reboot. The second reboot results in a series of beeps from the motherboard and you have to clear the cmos :( .Quote:

-enter bios one more time overwrite both oc profiles with default profiles
-restart-enter bios-update bios with ez flash 2-restart
-press F1 after prompted
i think this restart issue caused by bios management??(profiles etc.) coz this issue only happened when i turn on the computer from a completely power off state
And maybe this method can also solve the PCIE x16 ==> PCIE x1 prob? who knows
hope this helps

^ the restart on cold boot issue is due to the strap change though, mm I didn't know it could be fixed.
Taken from the FAQ on ASUS support page:Quote:

Is that normal?
Answer
Yes, that is normal. Due to chipset limitation of Intel ICH8 and above chipsets, system will require a full reset after such change is made to system to trigger the southbridge chipset.
hmm .. I found just the opposite with 4 sticks of ocz flex, needed more juice to post with 4.Quote:

Overclocking seems a lot more complicated than my old AMD X2 4400+. Seems that changing things often causes the system to not boot. I found that only mucking with the memory timing and FSB was fine. Stock temps are in the mid 20's idle and go to high 40's. Overclocking to 333mhz raises temps to low 30's idle to high 50's. I can boot at 400mhz, without modifying anything else, but temps go to mid 60's under load so I shut it down. This is with the stock cooler. Can't tell yet whether this is a good overclocker or not due to temps. Need to pick up a new cooler.
Goal is to run 3.2 or 3.4 with good temps. Now to the debate on a cooler without breaking the bank.
Ancient1: The Sata DVD drive I referred to is the Samsung SH-S183L. Nice to not have any big cables with all Sata drives...thanks for your help.
have you tried post to booting without out that XFI card?Quote:

My goal is the same as yours. 3.2 to 3.4 on air 24/7.
Not sure what your budget is but Scythe and Tuniq Tower are both highly praised. They are huge coolers though. Mine barely fits inside my case and I have one of those huge armors.
If your going to OC you might consider at least replacing the NB cooler. Or maybe just slapping a fan on top of it. I popped off the stock HS's and replaced that goop that Asus was using for thermal compound. When I unfastened the NB cooler it just fell off. And when I looked at it closer what a mess it was. That goop they put on the chipset was cracked. And the part where the heatpipe ran upwards to cool some other chips had this rubber thing between the chips and the heatsink. At least it seemed like rubber to me. It couldn't have been doing much but blocking the heat in. I wasn't expecting much from Asus but that was pretty bad. :slapass:
Need some Help please.
My P5B E6400 was working fine on phase for weeks, then i power on today after lapping my IHS and everthink is still working fine. Then my PC powers Off.
Now when i power on i get the CPU fan spin and a flicker of lights but nothing else?
Ive reset Cmos remounted etc. Any ideas or anyone had this happen?
Thanks
Go to sleep, refresh yourself, than retrace what you've actually done.Quote:

Anyway, I am going to reinstall windows xp later on with the onboard sounds disabled to see if that will also correct any minor stability issues.
anyway, gotta run.
Well I have G.Skill ram but only real voltage setting I've touched was the FSB Term I put at 1.3V when I started OCing it. That was all I changed and the ram clocks like a charm up to 480Mhz easy, any higher and I can't seem to hit anything.Quote:

sounds like condensation is the problem, first time from 2years of running various phase setups. :( shouldn't complain but its still a pain in the back side :slapass:

What exactly did u do? that trick didnt work for me, i get BSOD every time... anyway according to ASUS FAQ it is not possible to enable NCQ in Windows XP, but it is within Vista... dou.... ,but who listens to them anymore anyway....Quote:

Hi
I would like to know what bios to put on my P5B Deluxe for max overclock with e4300. I now have the default bios 0614.
Use latest official bios from Asus Site. :)Quote:

It gives me an error at the beginning saying something about microcode bla bla bla. I think the bios does not recognize e4300 correctly. E4300 it's an Alendale L2 Revision.Quote:

yeah maybe its like the method for flashing p4p800-e/p4c800 etc where if you wanted to flash with an incorrect ROMID you had to use an older version of afudos such as v1.16b and the following command (as newer versions of afudos cant do so):Quote:

maybe thats what happens with the latest BIOS, it changes the ROM ID and thats why you cant roll back in the usual manner. I cant think of any other reason why you couldnt roll back.
anyone think to ask Asus why they did that?..."not being able to rollback!"
Yeap, i dont know why but the bios 9.. must be the very same thing.
The 1004 was released 1 day after the previous one, so, i think the only difference is the FSB 1333.
So if you dont need a FSB 1333 just stay on 9.
Indeed. I've updated to 1004 and the pci-e 1x issue didn't want to disappear by any means when oc'ed. I've tried every known workaround to this but i couldn't "solve" it. That's why i've decided to roll back to 910.Quote:

To me 804 and 910 are the best till now and in the future P5B bios (since they will include 1004 fixes) i'll wait for user info first.
I've never had the 1X issue. I do set most of my voltages manually, but I have never once seen anything but 16x in cpuz etc.
Are u using 1.65v vmch?
I'm using 0614, the last BIOS before the double reboot @ every boot issue was corrected. This solves my X1K issues because it double reboots each time.
^ huh, i have the double reboot on every 'cold boot'(had it with 0804, 0910 and 1004) but i only had the 1X once(on 0804 bios) before..
0614 it every time you post. Restarting windows, turning on the PC, etc.
I have tried all the recent BIOS's I could get my hands on and I still get the double boot from a cold boot. I also get it when saving downclocking of anything (sometimes it does it 2/3 times after that)
Could be it. Never had x1 no matter what volts i set BUT 0614 is the only bios i use.
Good advice finally fixed the 1x issue
-fsb termin 1.4
-vmch 1.45
-diable asus cgi, force 1x
-peg link mode to slow
-pci 96
I just bought my new PC yesterday, a P5b Deluxe wifi e6300 allendale 2 x 1gb twinmos ddr2 800, i have no idea what happened, i was trying to reach 3ghz with 1.30vcore a 1.40vFSB, it was working pretty well, it booted to windows, obviously i had to test it with ORTHOS and i did, but after 15 mins of tests the PC shuts down, i guessed, failed OC attemp, happens.
I turn the PC again but wtf, it shuts down and repeat the process all the time, no POST, no image, doing a Clear CMOS didn't work, i have no idea what could have caused this, i have a Tagan 420Watts PSU which seemed to be quite enough for this PC.
Removed VGA, Ram, plugged the the fan connector into the mobo connector, still shuts down, turns on, shut down ...
I really appreciate your help since this is driving me crazy.
Sucks to write this on first post but yea... :confused:

Dont know if you have had any troubles with 2 dimms first time you booted but you could try only one and see if you can get into bios to set vdimm yourself. Its rather low after cmos clear.
The Twinmos twister ddr-800 works at 1.80v, i guess thats the default value but still without a single dimm inserted it keeps turning on and off, i am lost, no idea what to do, even clear CMOS didnt work.Quote:

1.8v should do yes. How long/often youve tried jumper/battery cmos clear? Some times a longer period or a few tries helps :D
Jumper CMOS clear tried 4-5 times, didnt work, battery i think i took it out for 30 mins but still didnt work, any idea ?.Quote:

As i explained, it does the constant shuts down even with no memory installed, removed vga, sound card, ram, hd, dvd unit, still doesnt work.Quote:

Thanks, Leopr.
at default volatge or clear cmos I can only post with one dimm in the rurthest slot till I re set Vdimm up. I'm getting really tired of this and wish they would catch on and up the default votage when more than one stick is populated.
anyone ever experience the bios all of a sudden start to ask for password?
i never set one, and now i can't get in bios. i know i can reset cmos, but c'mon that is some crazy bug. it was working fine one minute, then i pushed the fsb higher, it won't POST, then i power cycle from the back and now its asking me for pw? wth?
Just picked up my Asus P5B deluxe> and i finished installing everything on my computer and updating everything (latest drivers/ latest bios 1004)
* Processor: e4300, Allendale
* Bios Revision: 1004
* Memory: OCZ 6400 el Platinum xtc rev2
* vCore: 1.40
* vFSB: 1.3
* vNB: 1.55
* vSB: 1.6o
* vMem: 2.15
* Configured FSB: 300 > memory @ 1000 ddr2
* Configured Ratio: 9
* Configured Memory Timings: 5-5-5-15
* C1E and SpeedStep off, Locked PCI Express Frequency locked at 100, PCI Sync Mode at 33.33.
and i can't get stable higher then 300mhz FSB??? ive tried everything, setting votlages to auto.. upping the voltage. right now my system is stable at 2.7ghz (300x9) and memory running at ddr2-1000mhz.. but once i lower the multiplyer, and bump up the FSB to 330mhz > the system doesn't even boot.
any ideas ???
Also, it is also suggested to remove everything including CPU and power on the board (without CPU) for 10 seconds. That should do full reset to factory defaults.Quote:

Can I set the memory frecv lower then FSB ? I have only 1 : x where x >= 1. Is there a way to set let's say 4:3, something like fsb 400, memory 300 (ddr2 600) ?
@marius7: no, u can't since the lowest mem div for p5b is 1:1
I will do that, i changed my PSU to Spire 600Watts, still same problem, will remove the cpu now.Quote:

After i bought a new PSU, replaced the ram, nothing seemed to work, i took the Motherboard to my Computer Store and they discovered that some sort of transistor next to the WiFi card was burnt, it blowed up as the tech dude described, they offered me a paper to sign to send the motherboard to ASUS, i belive its outside Israel, must be Taiwan, the question is, obviously i did not burn the motherboard, it was working great untill some a reboot, i would like to know if ASUS will replace the motherboard if they see a transistor blowed up, i dont know what kind of warranty they offer but i wouldnt like to spend money again on a high end motherboard.
Hello everyone,
I have this mobo, with the bios 804, and I have trouble when I restart (and sometimes start) my computer. I have 1 long bip and 3 shorts.. I found that it's releated to the graphics card... But what I don't anderstand, is when it does that 9/10 the system reboots again and start normaly...
I don't know if it's related but my link width his also at 1x, as someone encountered the same problem?
Thanks

I have a E6600 and I configured the bios like the first post with the 3 pictures proposed us, now I am at 366Mhz * 9 stable (memtest, sp2004, superPi), that's why I fixed the voltage.Quote:

Should I use the 1004 BIOS or the 0904 BIOS?

Is that the 0910 BIOS I should use? Otherwise, rename P5BD0910 to 1004 and you get 1004.
^ what? you should try 0910 first then 1004, im on 1004 and my OC has been fine throughout 0804, 0910 and 1004.
Sorry to ask again, but could anyone enlight me and tell me if there will be any problem with the RMA ? My local computer store told me they will send the P5B-Deluxe WiFi-AP to ASUSTek (China?), my question is if ASUS will accept or not my broken mobo, it has a little transistor burned next to the WiFi card, you dont even notice without looking really close.Quote:

I had a similar thing happen to me with an Asus P5N32-E SLI 680i board. I rebooted, and the next thing you smell is burning plastic. Something on the motherboard near the video card burned up, which was very apparent.Quote:

Taking note, i will not buy again on this store, but now i have to deal with them, they just sent the card to ASUSTek, i hope they replace or i will need to buy a new mobo, was saving for a 8800GTX argh, this is driving me crazy :confused: .Quote:

I’m another one hitting the famous “Wall” with my current configuration. Anything above 500Mhz of fsb will give me an instant Orthos failure no matter of what voltage you adjust at the bios.
I just wondering if somebody has new information regarding this anomaly? What would you guys suggest?
Setup E6300@3.5Mhz, Memory:1000Mhz, FSB:500Mhz. Orthos stable for more that 4 hours
CPU Voltage: 1.376 under load (Vdropped from 1.415v)
P5B Dlx bios 0804
Had trouble clocking my Ram on my New P5B "Old Died"
Wouldnt run 4-4-4-12 1000mhz no matter what voltage. So i set all voltage options to Auto and tryed and boots and passes Memtest for hours. :confused:
I also flashed too 1004 bios from 0910, im sure it wasnt the flash to new bios as it was doing it before i tryed the current working options to "All to auto".
Just a heads up, any ideas. :cool:
Why do hell do you have to wait for ASUS to get a new mobo.. well maybe in your country is different, but even here in Serbia, where we have a potencial 8 million byuers market (which in economy terms is small - town Munich in Germany has bigger quarterly sales), noone whould dream or dear to tell customer something like that. I know for sure that asus grants all larger whosales companies a +certain% of merchandise in case of RMA, that is evident.Quote:

My advice is to pressure them any way you can, by treat of market inspection and so... offcourse I presume there is a legal period of time which they have in which they dont have to respond to RMA... here its maximum 45 days, but rarely anyone dares to pull that one off.
Here on Israel there is a huge market also, i guess picked the wrong store to buy from but now i will try pressure them as much as possible, any case they have sent the mobo already to ASUSTek, hoping they will send me a new one.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you... :)
I now use bios 0804, what's the experience for overclocking with the newest bios(1004)? is it better/worse?

my dvd-rw drive is called SCSI cdrom in vista now and when i burn a dvd with dvd decryptor, i don't get faster than 7x even though i have a 16x burner with 16x media (burned faster in xp before.) i hate vista.
I have an issue that doesn't seem to be addressed anywhere on the internet.
I'm running a P5B Deluxe WiFi, E6600 CPU, GeForce 7950GX, Cooler Master Real Power Pro 850W, and 2GB Corsair 8500C5D Memory, and a WD 500GB SATA Hard Drive. No other hardware, not even an audio card and audio is currently disabled in the BIOS. I'm not overclocking. The Ram is fine as both Memtest and the Memory Diagnostic program from MS can run all day without any errors.
I can install Windows XP Corp (integrated SP2) without a problem, but afterwards is where I have a problem...
If I run the Intel Chipset Identification Utility 3.2 it says I have a G965 Express Chipset instead of a P965.
If I run the Intel Processor Identification Utility, it freezes at the initial screen where there is a picture with a little girl looking in a glass window at Intel.
If I run the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility, it crashes at the initial blue screen and the typical window pops up with the typical "Chipset Installation Utility has encountered a problem and needs to close" I've tried the current version and a couple older versions and they all do the same thing.
I already started over with a clean install of Windows and tried to run the Intel Chipset Software Installation Utility first, and it still crashed.
I'm stumped at this point so I could really use some help.
the Intel Chipset Identification Utility 3.2 dosent seem to work with drivers loaded on this board.
same with the processor ID tool windows based utility
the bootable Processor Identification Utility will work .
I wouldnt loose any sleep over it:cool:

Also I am reinstalling windows and I was wondering if I have to install the JMicron Raid driver even though I do not use raid?
I have bought P5B Deluxe just about a week ago, and it started showing problems from the start. Actually, after computer has been turned on for some time (half hour or more), whenever you try to restart it, or just enter BIOS, cooler starts working really weird, with higher and lower frequencies, and my monitor screen starts flashing. It takes huge amount of time until it loads windows, and after next restart, monitor just turn it self off, without loading anything. However, once it succeeds to load to windows it works fine on stock configuration. But, when you try to overclock anything, either CPU, or Graphic card, it makes a mess and turn it self off. That just sucks, since I bought this motherboard because of it fantastic overclocking capabilities. I have a cooler masters "eXtreme power 430W" power supply, which I thought was making the problems, but again I have read on many posts that this motherboard has huge bugs with BIOS, so that could be second guess. (My BIOS version is 0614). I tried my graphic card at friend CPU, and it works fine. Please help, I am really stuck here and I don't know what to do.
Thanks ahead, Vuk.
My config:
Intel Core2Duo E6300 1.86Ghz
ASUS P5B Deluxe
MSI GeForce 7600GT
Kingston 2Gb 667
Maxtor 80Gb
Cooler Master eXtreme power 430W
Not sure about the psu but I'd update the bios version first.Quote:

My friend just put his system together and has this EXACT same problem, only difference is he's running G.Skill HZ 2x1GB sticks at 4-4-4-12. Any idea what the problem is?Quote:
