if they give you all the good stuff in the P5E3, how are they suppose to sell the bloated Maximus Extreme package?Quote:

All I can say is I have put on 803 903, and back to 704 a few times via the USB and seems to work ok, (at least with my q6600.)
Its just that my Prime95 fails and while I'm gaming sometimes they crash and restarts the whole system and somehow on every crash it doesn't create a dump file... maybe should i try the RAM timing on AUTO instead of 7.7.7.20?Quote:

Dudes I'm not an expert, but I consider myself a suffered and experienced guy who learned his lesson, when it comes to BSOD's. I've been investgating this problem, specially with games for quite a long time, and thank god I've never had one after I did extensive researches and narrowed the problems, EXCEPT if I'm pushing (overclocking) my hardware to the limits.Quote:

http://www.ngohq.com/graphic-cards/1...-death-et.html
I had my experience with the P5W DH Deluxe, my former mobo, and what I can say is read very well the specs on the Asus site.
On the manual, and on the ASUS site,The P5E3 Deluxe says it can run memory at *1600Mhz where the * stands for overclocking mode.
Although this motherboard supports 1600Mhz FSB, it it makes it on overclocking mode only.
On the paper and officially this motherboard and overall the X38 chipset supports up to 1333Mhz FSB.
Asus indeed added support for 1600Mhz, but officially it's the X48 chipset that support those frequencies.
Believe me when I say I've learned from my headaches when pushing other motherboards.
In some cases the combination of MOBO+CPU+Memory can be stable at @1600. And in some other combinations it simply won't, and you can expect a lot of BSOD.
Specially even more if you are populating the 4 existing ram slots of the board. Let's say 4x1GB.
So I suggest not to lie to ourselves on this. Running your sticks @ 1600 is very good and achievable in some cases, but I repeat this motherboard was designed to reach 1333Mhz.
Pushing 1800Mhz on this baby, is playing lottery, it would or wouldn't work on your specific configuration, CPU batch, etc. But to ask for stability is is asking too much, specially when on the paper this motherboard only goe up to 1333.
Other thing is what ASUS marrketing team can say or BS.
If for some reason it doesn't work @1600Mhz, it is simply bad luck, or bad airflow, or bad cooling, an insufficient PSU or many other factors. If you are in the need to lower the specs to the maximum (1333Mhz) and it works stable, then be happy, your rig is working fine.
Please rememeber:
On P5E3:
MAXIMUM FSB= 1333Mhz. (You can held accountable ASUS if you're having problems at those speeds)
OVERCLOCKING POTENTIAL= 1600Mhz. (play lottery you are on your own, and only real support for you is forums like this)
Yes i knew it was all too good to be true! i was stupid to believe it. I think i'm gonna try to run the same setup you have, i'm gonna settle with 1.6Ghz for RAM .... how much of a diff are we talking about between 1.8Ghz and 1.6Ghz and 4Ghz processor?.
and I'm glad we can come here and discuss the problems we have with these hardware.. thank you all of you guys!
It works very good with 1600 or with 1800Mhz ram settings...no issue with the mobo..see my post above..back page..
nah use those speedsQuote:

I did that and now I am happy @ CL6 (6-6-6-15 @ 1333Mhz) With the AI Clock Twister @ Strong and AI Transaction Booster = 2
1.90V is stable @ 1600Mhz CL 7-7-7-18 (rated speeds) but with AI Clock Twister set to Moderate.
I think that is the best I can get out of 4 sticks in my opinion.
I'm still waiting for ASUS to release a proper QX9650 BIOS for the vanilla no bells, no deluxe and no Wi-Fi whistles P5E3 as I am on 0703 but ASUS' site says 0704 is required for QX9650. I mailed ASUS and they said the BIOS is in testing.
By the way, thanks everyone for the info in this thread as it helped a lot. I almost let Patriot fob me off and run @ 1066Mhz 7-7-7-20!
But you guys gave me the energy to cary on and now Patriot admit 4 sticks need a bit more voltage
John
the most likely scenario here is that the issue is from 450MHz FSB on quads guys rather than memory not being able to do what it's rated for
stick a dual core in there and see for yourself....
450 is not an easy FSB for quads and not all CPUs will be able to achieve that stably
i think it's important to listen to advice your piers give you but that is only guidance. You shouldn't make any conclusions until you fully test all the options yourself depending on how important it is to you and how much you want to put into it. When i read your AI Booster comment for example i wondered if you actually tested your system to see what OC level is faster. How do you know how much Moderate or Strong level will impact your performance......test it out first before you settle for one over the other because in my experience you settled for a slower overall OCQuote:

JohnZS: Are you saying that you believe the 10c difference many people have seen across the 2 separate cores is a reporting bug? I know I have 2 cores that will hit 70c while the other 2 rock a cooler 60c, but I assumed this was manufacturing differences between the 2 cores or even contact to the HSF.
Prime fails to me too..also i get some random mouse freezes in idle mode ..:shrug:
I just checking!
I can personally Prime95 just fine on all 4 cores, but when it comes to SuperPI, that was causing lockups.Quote:

On another note for people who have the vanilla non deluxe P5E3 I would stay away from BIOS 0808
Although this BIOS did add 0.5x multiplier support for QX9650 it also busted my RAM's compatability and so I could not even run @ 1333Mhz
I had to result to 1066Mhz and then downgrade via Windows ASUS Update 6!
Back to the old 0703 where 1333Mhz is stable. (with 1.88v)

Hi
I've rolled back to 0703 on my P53 non-deluxe, do these voltages look ok to you?
They are all stock (except the DRAM is @ 1.88V because I have 4 sticks).
http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/7...monitorhi0.jpg
I've read a lot of comments in this thread and have noticed loads of you even Oscar and a lot of the xtremegurus have also had to downgrade their BIOS.
Is this a sign that ASUS are slipping?
I never had any issues with ASUS BIOSES with my P4P800 and P5LD2 but have had no end of issues with the P5E3.
Or is it because the X38 chipset is a bit......flakey? or still in it's infency and when the X48 comes out we will get stable BIOS updates?
As soon as a decent DDR 4GB kit hits the UK for a reasonable price I am going to off load these 4 sticks as the hassle of 4x1GB is fustrating when in my opinion if there are 4 slots to use....then they should work at their rated speed!
John
Oscar3D, I couldn't agree with you more.
my config. is same as you except that i have liquid cooling & 2gb memory.
my post from maximus thrid:
http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...postcount=5056
I've ordered another couple of mem sticks this time from corsair and test again for 1600.
I have seen some comments here about rolling back. I am curious to know what issues those of you that did had with 903? Thanks.
Memory compatiblity.?Quote:

So I got some 1066 ram, managed to boot and then updated the BIOS from 301 to 903. Now it does boot with the faster ram but it hangs during POST, saying:
Initializing USB controllers ..
When I put the 1066 ram back in, it boots again. The 1066 is Kingston Value Ram (it's on the QVL). Everything in this system is brand new - no OS installed yet. I haven't tried over-clocking yet - all the BIOS settings are on Auto.
The faster ram is I'm trying to use is:
2x1GB CellShock DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz (7-6-6-18) Dual Channel kit
Is it possible to use this ram? Should I use the 1066 to boot, then manually change the DRAM Frequency to 1600MHz and the DRAM Voltage to 1.9 (that's the value written on the DIMMs). Then install the faster ram, and try booting.
Would I be able to change these settings again if it still doesn't work?
Thanks,
looks like everyone is happy with this board, i don't see anyone complaining... yes 903 BIOS seems to hold on fine.

I'm working to ensure everything is stable too. I had the same issue. It will run for quite a bit of time without error, but then it will BSoD. I read somewhere that with the OCZ RAM, even though it says the voltage range is 1.90 to 1.95, if you set it to 1.80, you will get stability. So, that is what I am testing now. This is what I am working with currently:
http://www.blazemp.com/temp/cache_and_mem_benchmark.jpg
I'm having the same problem, running at 1600Mhz C7, I get a hard lock when running DVDfab Decriptor on dvd's, it was the same with 601 and now 903 bios. I can play games for hours, run pi32m and no problem, fold for hours and no problems, but when I'm copying files from a DVD - hard lock!
Here's another thing running everything in the bios at default this is what cpu-z has to say....
my board is constantly looping and no display on one of those POSTCARDS
looks like the board is dead
:confused:
i didn't even spend more than a few hours in testing
didn't mod it nor did i get a change to put it on subzero
:shrug: this sucks!
I should feel lucky.... I haven’t had any problems within the past few weeks... Runs good...
Pushing my 1333’s to just under 1600 (1543)… But then again I’m still using the Q6600 and Bios 601
Has anyone tried dual 8800's on this board...? Thinking about adding another card...
http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/6492/535zj9.jpg
from what i've seen results wise i'd be trying to downgrade to 0504 bios
seems like the best for RAM OCs
I don't see how a 2nd card is gonna work since it is a non-Sli motherboard. I would jump on it if it worked.Quote:

Hello,
I have qx9650 and P5E3 WiFi 0601. RAM is corsair 2 x 2GB DDR3 1600. I need some advise to make my PC run stable at 1600. I am currently running at 400x9. It passed PI 32MB, memtest, 4 hours of prime (did not have time to run longer test), but my PC ramdonly locks up 1 or 2 times a day. It often locks up while simple web surfing and watching video files. Once I changed the setting to run at 333x11 ram: 1333, my PC runs perfectly stable all day long. So I think my problem is I am not overclocking the ram properly. Could you please help me solve this problem?
Do I need to increase NB voltage?

I see very low Vcore at 3.6...you must have a very good chip there..give a little more up to 1.35 and try again..
He's using QX9650, 1.30v for 3.6GHz is normal.

John
That does not bother me much:) , as long as loaded temps are within norm:cool: .
You have a point if it gives u problems.
Refering to your thread, in my case still better than unknown replacement chip and if it was bad oc'er i'd do it anyway.
This is the least of my worries mind u, after i installed raid (3x500gb). hell broke lose and sudenly my oc is not stable anymore. raised vcore to 1.575 and still not stable in p95 small sft's :shrug:

Hi there, i posted this in a dedicated topic but nobody noticed it, so i thought this is the best place for it!
I have a little problem with my wonderful new rig!
Maybe somebody remembers my vga "odissey", asus sent me another one so i fixed this little problem...
Now, i've got some problem with my P5E3 Deluxe + QX9650 + Corsair DDR3 1800!
With the FSB on 450, the system looks pretty stable and it doesn't show any problems, but it often show errors after 1/2 hours of Prime95!
Anybody here with the same rig wants to share his settings with fsb 450 and DDR3 at 1800?
I know it's a little hard for quads ;)
Greetings, Alberto
Hi there,
I am very new with this of overclocking. For now upgrading bit a bit the PC.
As part of my tests, I could update BIOS 0402 with a P4 3Ghz Prescott 630 FSB800 Processor and OCZ DDR3 1600Mhz to 0903... for those that are interested. I don't know if this was going to work... but it do. It is very stable but is getting strange CPU Temp between 40º-75ºC.
Now waiting to getting a new Penryn to do some testing at 1600Mhz FSB/DDR3 to do this synchronous and stable... I hope I could do that with X38 chipset. Any experiences "stables" (included stock speeds) with that config?
Regards.
Hello
I’m completely new to overclocking and have just finished my first build. Upgraded to bios 0903.
Here are some stats running everything at stock:
PCMark05: 6692
3DMark06: 9332
SuperPI (32M): 18m 39sec
Now, here’s what I’ve tried:
FSB: 400
Multiplier: 8.0
Memory Frequency: 1601
Memory timings: 7-7-7-20
I left all the other BIOS settings at default.
Results:
OCCT: Passed
Prime95: Passed 24 hours
Core Temp normal: 30 degrees C
Core Temp highest: 62 degrees C
PCMark05: 8191
3DMark06: 11939
SuperPI (32M): 14m 59sec
So...I was wondering if anyone has any hints or suggestions on where to go from here? I would prefer a higher FSB but my PC won’t POST even at 450FSB. Should I be increasing voltages? Any ideas as to the overclocking potential of my system? Also, I plan to buy a Prelude soundcard - should I set the PCIE frequency to something specific or leave it at Auto? I don’t want my overclocked PC to fry my soundcard...
Thanks for any help.

Nice find Kappa
let me add a recent review:
http://hardwarelogic.com/news/132/AR...008-01-28.html
My own opinion of this mb so far:
a,more stable than maximus se
b,far less vdroop than p5e
still needs another bios update ......
Fair enough, my load temps were way off to though and got stability problems when I maxed 4 cores. (basically system would hardlock but before it would hardlock core3 would throttle!)Quote:

Once again impressive overclock, but I would be wary of the voltage as 45nm is more sensitive to volts than 65nm Conroe. I have heard some people say do not go over 1.5V and others say 1.45v yet you also have others say upto 1.6V is fine. I guess it all depends on the cooling and how long you want to keep it.

New bios 1001 out there..lets see..
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/so...5/P5E3_DELUXE/
First thoughts...
..better (or more correct..) temps...lower voltages..with the oc profiles saved from previous bios doesnt boot , needs step by step again setting..
still testing...
like always..:p:
Anyone tested bios 1001 yet?

I have another report for you all...
I reset all my settings to the way they were before, but the bios would not post. That is, it would not even start the display. I had to do the battery removal trick, and then I stepped through all the settings until I found out what caused the trouble, redoing the battery numerous times. I determined that the memory timings were what caused the problem. I was running 6-6-7-24 before (which is not overclocking at all...it's the actual stock of my modules), and I was also running at the stock speed (1600). When the timings are set to 7-7-7-24, it will post. Hope this info is helpful... Good luck.

Let's hope the new bios fix it all! =)
i have flash 1001
Now i will go back to 0903 for a test, but EZ Flash let me go back :(
I can´t flash older versions... any idea?
Just go back to the EZ Flash and start reflashing your board with the exact same bios. Right in the middle of the writing of the bios shut the power off from the computer. Next turn your computer back on and put in your asus driver cd and let the bios recovery do its magic.Quote:

When system is starting up, a cursor flashes in top-left corner of the screen for a few seconds, followed by Windows loading. What is this? Is there any way to disable it?
hi. i am new and never done flashing bios so how do i do it ??
ok this new BIOS 1XXXX that bad? all of you are trying to go back to 9XX.. ok i think i'm gonna stay away.
Read your motherboard's manual and you will find your answers..prefer the EZ flash...if you have a question post it..:welcome:Quote:

Just an info, i'm going to keep my little qx9650 for a while, what's the vcore you would use in order to not shorten too much the life of these new 45nm cpus?
P.S. I think it'd be useful if other P5E3 users would take a look here http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=175889.
If this shows up to be a common problem, we could talk here about this =)

Ram is at 2002mhz, 2.16v. Corsair Dominator
It's not 24/7 stable but ran out of time last night to play with voltages. Now that I know which settings affect what I may put my Q6600 back in and hope I can get 475-500FSB (if i'm lucky)
Many thanks. Works perfect :up: ;)Quote:

I wish my Corsair could hit them speeds. I have the same memory as you too.Quote:

Found a weird problem with the board! When "LoadLine Calaboration" is enabled the board becomes very unstable above 1.6V watching the voltage readings in CPU-Z when set at 1.6V with loadline enabled I can't boot into vista above 4.6Ghz but if I set 1.6V loadline disabled it boots everytime!
The voltages jump quite a bit aswell when loadline enabled - I watched the voltage jump to 1.704V to 1.632V when set to 1.6750 in bios! Not what I call a quality power system!
I think its something to do with the EPU unit???
Looks like this threads on its last leg...... I guess its time to move on to newer and better things.... lol... At least this thread provided allot of useful/good information....
I take it no-one else has my problem then! Wierd its the same with all bios 0601, 0903, 1001 Its a pain as 1.576V underload is not enough for me!!!
1104 BIOS

[ 1104 ]

Latest beta BIOS
Have you tried v1104 yet??
Cheers for the heads up. :)Quote:

Testing BIOS 1104 now.
So far so good.... Better results then the earlier bioses.
Hoping it helps fix my constant hangs with a 8800 Ultra. That is pretty much my only problem left.
Each BIOS revision seems to get better and better for me (minus 901 which killed ram voltage setting)
I just wish they had a changelog with each revision so I know if it is all in my head or not. :D
Currently running: 400x9.5 for 3.8GHz /w 1.4v in bios (Line-Load calibration enabled) 1.9v to 1600mhz Corsair RAM +.1v over recommended (7-7-7-20).
Will test for a bit then try 400x10.
