Thx Pmp :) will test and compare tonite (soz mate was abroad)
Yeah no noticeable changes from what I can see at this early stage. Memory bandwidth is exactly the same as with 0702 and 0704, PL 13 is still the default PL at 1:1, and still can't go below 10 at 1:1.
What are your ram timings? Did you have to drop them to 6-6-6-20 or something to that effect? I used to hit 1100mhz @ 2.15v and 1150 @ 2.18v using 5-5-5-15 on my old 680i board. I can't even get 1080mhz to successfully finish any memory stressing @ 2.25v on this board with all the memory enhancing stuff turned off. It MIGHT be that i have to drop the PL to 11 but I don't think I want to do that. I'm gonna see if I can do 8x500mhz with a PL of 9 like Leeghoofd and Mumid used a few pages back. I'd be happy with that performance.
All I wanted was to have PL=7 @450fsb !
PL=8 @ 450fsb sucks big time :(
pmp, do you know where are the reading points for the SBridge Voltage and PCIE SATA Voltage (if they exist :D) ?
thats not that possible with a 1:1 ratio on your mems :?
Try keeping your strap at 333. then select the memory speeds after that.
strap 333 = 7 Pl and if your mem can handle it 6.
strap 266 = 6pl and sometimes 5
strap 200 = pl 5
Hey guys!
i'm going to pick my p5q deluxe right now...
i am the first brazilian to use this mobo :D :up: :rofl:
8800gts in da house yet :P
Damn, another new bios to test already.
Anyway, this mobo does indeed prefer higher FSB for Everest.
These are not meant to be record breaking screenies...just me comparing some numbers of these two options for me to run 24/7 stably:
8x438 = 3504 MHz 5:6 DDR2-1051 5-5-5-15 tRD 8 pull-in enabled
vs.
10x350 = 3500 MHz 2:3 DDR2-1050 5-5-5-15 tRD 6 pull-in enabled.
All subtimings were set very loose manually, not auto, so the main difference in scores is due to FSB & tRD (what i was comparing).
I'll worry about tightening them later for better scores.

I figured that at least with tRD lower 10x350 2:3, it'd be better latency, but nope.
8x438 5:6 wins pretty clearly, at least in Everest.
hello everyone, have a serious problem with this board, this thing wont boot if i install ram on the right set of ram slots. i have 4 1gb ocz ddr2 1100 modules and 2 supertalent ddr2 800 1gb modules. i have tried installing 1 or 2 modules on the left set of ram slots and it boots just fine, i have tried installing all of my 6 modules one at a time and 2 at a time on the right slots and it just wont boot. installing one on the left and one on the right wont boot as well. have tried 0702, 0704, 0706 bioses but none of them fixes the problem. this is my second board, i returned the first one cause it had the same problem. can anyone help me find out what might be causing the problem? could it be the rams? or psu?
q6700, 3 hd's (took 2 off), a dvdrw drive, 8800gtx, xfi platinum.
So maybe I found someone with similar problems with an ASUS P5Q and a WD harddisk.
I use a P5Q-E (BIOS 0706) and one of the two hdds:
1. Seagate 320GB ST3320620AS
2. WD6400AAKS 640GB
I started clocking my X3350 with the seagate hdd, reached fsb 490MHz, was happy and started looking for 24/7 stable settings@3600MHz. No problems at all. Just a lot boot cycles because I could lower most voltages and still get prime95 running stably.
Then I took the seagate out and put the wd hdd in - no boot (power led is lit but no post screen). Seagate back in the pc - boots with no problem at all. wd - no go.
In a german forum some users answered to my post there that they have no problem with the same 640GB wd hdd an their ASUS P5Q-RPO, but the PRO is more different to my P5Q-E than your P5Q Deluxe is to my P5Q-E.
If you find a solution please post it here.
Are there firmware updates to wd hdds?
regards
mibo
K Unhook all drives, DVD Roms...set bios to default plz...
put one dimm on the right hand black slot... does it post ? if yes add another dimm in the right hand yellow slot... I tried all combo's here with the 4gb kits, because your case intrigues me... with one, two or 4 dimms the mobo posts no matter if I fill up the slots first from the right or from the left or mix them up to stay dual channel... I have high suspicion maybe one of the dimms is flakey... I would test them one by one... also do you force any settings in the bios for the ram ? It certainly is not your board as your replacement one acts in the same manner... could be an incompatability or a bad dimm or bad setting or a combo of all...
News on the 0706 ?
@lee ill do all that when i get home, could it be a possibility that my psu is causing the problem? im using a pcp&c 510 watt psu. but i had no problems with it when it was on my old motherboard (ga-965p-ds3, everything on my pc is old exept for the new motherboard)
