Heres an interesting problem for you folks....
On a clean install of windows and running at stock speed for everything, my system reboots whenever i try to run AIsuite or Asus Probe 2.....
My system is an E6400 with P5B DLX WiFi....bios 0711
2GB of ram
X1900XTX
Watercooled
PC Power & Cooling 510 DLX PSU

I also have a few more issues but I'll get to them later...Anyone have any idea what is wrong....
I suspect my board is bad....and this would be the second board in a week that would be bad ...

Hello.
I have a question about this mobo and DDR2 1024mb NCP 667 (NC01201).
What voltage is normal for this memory ? It does 900@2.1Volts , but mobo says that this voltage isn't good (red light).
Version of bios - 0711.
Thanks.

Well if the drives aren't spinning up I'd say its a power issue since they should spin up reguardless of being connected or not.

Ignore that for the memory. Different memory has different voltage ratings. The board is just going off the base DDR2 voltage which is 1.8V and saying that be cautious at that level of voltage. But if the memory can take it (rated for it) don't worry about it.

So, what is the max voltage for this memory ? (with 150mm fan (without radiators))

anything up to 2.3/2.4V and it will be safe TBH.

Will this board recognize an nforce 4 sli raid 0 setup? I went from a ASUS AN8 32X-sli and tried to use those hard drives in raid 0 and it's a nogo.

would see the drives fine but when I enabled the intel raid, nothing... Tried the drives in sata 1/2 and sata 1/3. I thought 1/3 might work since the manual states 1/2 are master and 3/5 are slave.

Anyone actually get raid 0 working on this board?

Update: I got my question answered.. looks like you have to redo the raid array because of the switch from nforce to intel controllers.

Resume from Standby?

I've got an E6600 and 2 sticks of 1gb Corsair Pro 800 in my P5Bdlxwifi.... along with an Asus 7600GT... for my first stab at OC'g this thing, I just bumped the clock from 266 to 401 and reset the DDR2 to 800.... boots and runs fine with no other changes.... but it locks up hard during a resume from standby.... is there something inherent about OC'g this board that would absolutely prevent the use of S3 standby?

:stick:

Just a quick note, BIOS 711 did "cure" the double-boot for me, no other changes noted. I'm still running at 8x400 as I don't want to lose perf with the strap probs and none of my programs or games have even taxed 3.2 yet :)

i LOVE this board!...it is handling my E6700 which did not fair very well on my P5WDG2 WS Pro...to be fair about the Pro board, i am suspecting my Ultra 120 HS to be the problem...not cooling as well as the sister computer which also has an Ultra 120 HS.

I just change my gigabyte s3 for this new cheese burger deluxe, i mean asus P5B deluxe :D , I hope it when well for me. At the current i mem test my crucial ballistix P5300 running at DDR1000 5-5-5-15 on 2.25 volt, no error on mem test so far (2 hours).

I am aiming for 450 bus that all i really wanted so i can take my E6600 to 4G :D.
My gigabyte S3 only allow me upto 400FBS.

wow i got my cheese bacon deluxe to boot at 490 MHz, i am very happy
The only problem is i keep on getting 1x PCI E link width dohhhhhhhh.
Asus P5B deluxe undervolt so bad, I set 1.5 volt and only get 1.45 :(.
I have to set it to 1.55 to get 1.5125.

Got this board up and running at last, its been a flaky start though as the chassis intrusion jumper had been crushed and wouldnt let me boot. I managed to bend the pins back into place and eventually it worked.

Now ive found the motherboard CD is a dud, it keeps reporting CRC errors, luckily it let me explore the CD and manage to install the chipset drivers and ethernet which was enough to get me here.

ll the other software wont install, anybody got a link to where I can get a P5B compatible version of AI suite and/or probe2 ? Ive downloaded them from a google search but its says not compatible :( Asus's site comes up with nothing.

Ive tried AI suite versions 10115 & 10116 and it says not compatible or i should update bios?? Im on bios 0614.

I also tried the latest Probe II and it installed but when i run I get a Access violation error in module Pro2.dll wtf!!

consider the drivers to be corrupted since you took them off the "corrupted" CD...you should not be getting any errors...throw that disc away!

or...RMA the board back.

the "corrupted" disc is probably fine.... more likely it's memory errors...

stock-clock everything for installs....

:cool:

I was at stock, the disk is a dud, believe me. Ive installed loads of other software since.

What can someone do if a bios corruption occur ??? The bios is not replaceable . Any ideas cause a friend's board died ?

i definitely think there are a couple of bad CD's being shipped with these boards, the disc i recieved locks up some drives i've tried it on and takes forever to read on others.
i would take a guess that something is not stable somewhere tho, as i have installed ProbeII (ProbeII10305.zip) dated [Sep 01 2006] and it works fine in xp32 and 64 ftp://usa.asus.com/pub/ASUS/misc/utils/ProbeII10305.zip

AI Suite, any version refuses to install for me, even after I updated from 510 to 614...

When I reinstall windows I hope it will show all my temps and voltages :/
