Patriote......I run 399 x 9 with the following:
Asus P5B Deluxe (1212)
E6600 at 3.6 Ghz
4x1GB G.Skill 6400 HZ (1:1) 4-4-4-12
Sapphire X1950 Pro 512MB
PCI Express Frequency: 101 (solved PCI-E x1 problem)
vCore: 1.5125 (1.50 Actual)
vMem: 2.05
vFSB: 1.40
vNB: 1.45
vSB: 1.50
vICH: Auto
Everything 'Enabled' except 'Max CUPID Value Limit.'
I am Orthos stable for at least 1/2 hour, which is where I stopped. That is good enough for me. I have been unable to boot above 470FSB x 8. I think the memory is at it's limit. I have air cooling so 3.6 Ghz is my limit.
HAPPY MOTORING
Is that the Beta BIOS then? What does it offer over the last official BIOS?Quote:

Big.Wayne......they have released newer bios', 1215 and 1216, per the following link.

My computer is stable 24/7 for my use, which is all I am concerned about.

Hey I notice the timer has gone a bit funny in your orthos, I wonder, do u have a DVB-T card installed? because thats what happened to me during my testing until I realised and close the DigiTV software (it changes the PC's time to match the TV schedule kinda).Quote:

anybody figure out a workaround for the slow boot problem with the Soundmax drivers? I'm using generic Vista audio drivers, don't want to risk it :wasntme:
I just bought a Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer and installed that! I didn't mind the slow boot-up so much as the slow windows browsing *if* the windows sounds were enabled? Kinda made the computer feel slow?
I had high expectations of the ADI® AD1988B 8-channel High Definition Audio CODEC and although it does sound pretty good it still needs some work on the drivers methinks?

I got rid of that problem by making the following change in the bios:
Setting the 'PCI Express Frequency' to 101. My understanding is that OC causes this problem. There are some threads on the Asus Support Forums per the following link:

no, but i have the atomic alarm clock as you can see.Quote:

I'm running an E6850 in this board now, with some recently added watercooling. I can run memtest to check the memory and runs through the night no problem. I can run Orthos small FTT's overnight as well no problem. But when I try to run Orthos Blend I get errors after about an hour? anyone any suggestions? Voltages are..

Anyone with a Q6600 that doesn't work with a multiplier diferent than 9 ? :(
I am having same problem with same board. I got great results with 9x anyways but I would like to be able to play with 8x higher FSB. I am using 1216Quote:
Anyone with a Q6600 that doesn't work with a multiplier diferent than 9 ?
same situation here :(
Also have 1216 bios.
With my previous E6400 I could do 100% stable at 515x7 !
Now with a Q6600 G0 I can only hit 100% stable 415x9, no more FSB even with x7 or x8 multiplier :(
asus !!!! give us a decent BIOS for the Quad's Please !!! :D
415x 9 was a great overclock. Do you have water cooling?Quote:

Most manufactures are not including that in the a bios update. To have the support you need to buy a a P35 MB. This makes me happy because I do not like installing new MBs/ every 6 to 8 months.
I am not a 100% ASUS lover. Next, I am going back to a performance board from Gigabyte. I think ASUS quality control when down. I RMA ed my P5B 4 times in a short period in time. I was for stupid stuff like the firewire went bad. No the two USB Ports for the rear header comes up as unknown device.
That goes me fro selling the board on e-bay. I will try to RMA the board one more time, when I receive a new P35 or +. I save the box and all the accessories, manuals etc. Just for selling the board when I am done with it.
And I am mad at asus because I can't get the ASUS ATK 0110of my computer. After some work, I was just able to disable it.
You can see my large post about it here, it is the last one.

hi all
i got a problem with the multiplier management of my P5B Dlx...
all unlocked CPU can only get 11 multi max...
2 old X6800 B2 i've tested, and now my QX6850 got same problem :(
unable to OC under cascade with QX and 11 multi ;)
i've try some different BIOS without success
someone got same problem ?
NB : already seen 13 multi with one P5B Dlx : http://beforeoverclock.com/images/X6800CPUZ@5512.png
I had a X6800 on my P5B Deluxe at some point. It wouldn't do more than 11x as well.Quote:

Hopefully X38 is gonna be a good quad overclocker, so I can dump this P5B Deluxe, and use my P5K Dlx with my B3. Its not OCing over 350 on the board, and the chip did 450 on my P5K..... :shrug:
Although, I may need to redo the cooling on the chip, that could be the problem. Will try some other settings and see where it goes.

Well I wanted to oc my Q6600 G0 to at least 3Ghz running 334x9 with 4gigs of ADATA Vitesta DDR2 800+. I guess the memory is the problem cause I could not get stable Prime runs at 5-5-5-12 (and 15 & 18)-5-30 timings at 2.0, 2.1 or 2.15 VDIMM / 4:5 Divider.Quote:

I had to lower my overclock to 320x9 = 2.89Ghz to get a stable prime run and regain a stable wlan connection for internet access.
I might try to raise the VDIMM some other time to test again but currently I'm playing BIOSHOCK.
just got myself a Q6600 stepping G0 and 2x1 Gb Cellshock PC6400 CL4.
When trying to overclock them i was only able to reach 360x9 FSB with the memory at 450 MHZ 5-5-5-12.
Then i tried to lower the FSB so i could test the RAM at 400 Mhz at 4-4-4-10, no problems there.
I then raised the FSB to 400x9 and RAM at 1:1 4-4-4-12 at 2.10 Vdimm, now it wouldnt Post.
I tried to boot with the same settings except i let the BIOS set the timings pr SPD, it booted but the timings was set to something like 6-8-8-16, at 400 MHz??
Do i need to raise the SB/NB above the minimum non-auto settings?
And lastly how much current can i give the RAM and the SB/NB when i dont have any aftermarket cooling?
I have a Antec 900 with 2x120 mm in the front, 1 120 mm in the side window, a 200 mm on the top and a 120 mm in the back sucking air out, so the air is being replaced pretty quickly.
I hope theres someone that can help me with this, its pretty frustrating to have spent a fortune on the best parts and then only getting a mediocre result.
Especially because the individual parts work fine when tested individually, but not together
If you need more info or if you need me to explain it better ill try, thank you all in advance.
Malk, try:

P5B Deluxe problem here; Mine isn't posting. Tried it with one stick of ram, the board, E4300, and my 7800gt. No beeps, no posts, nothing. Is it truely dead?
Hope this does not sound too stupid.......Check your power supply; this MB is finicky about these and the Ram. Does the blue ASUS light come on when you plug in the power supply. If so, check to make sure the 'white' system panel connector (at lower right side of MB) is completely plugged in. I have had trouble with that staying put. This MB does not have an internal speaker, so unless you installed a beeper you are not going to hear anything. Leave a post at the ASUS Support Forum at http://vip.asus.com/forum/topic.aspx...Language=en-usQuote:

He means 1.45 volts for the CPU VCore voltage and 1.45 for the NB voltage (Vmch). I have an E6600 running at 399 x 9 and I need 1.50VCore.
Yea, the thing is, it worked up until today. Silverstone Element 500w is the psu, Buffalo Firestix pc8000 is the ram. When I turn it on (with a screwdriver, since I run it caseless), the light on the bottom of the board changes from blue to purple (from when it's plugged in but not powered). I have a pc speaker hooked up to the board.
Thanks for the link.
Weird. I'm experiencing the same exact problem right now. After months of working flawlessly I came home today to a computer that won't post no matter what devices are plugged or unplugged. The only time I get a beep is when I remove both sticks of RAM which leads me to believe its related to the voltage issue this board has upon bootup. I'm running G.Skill 6400PHU2-2GBHZ with the Corsair HX520W PS.Quote:

I'm having issues with freezing on boot after installing the latest intel chipset drivers. The problem manifests when I have AHCI enabled for the sata controller, but when it is set to IDE it is no problem. The progress meter will make a few revolutions but then just freeze and move erratically for _hours_.
Thought it might have been giveio.sys (Speedfan installs this), but removed it and problem still happens.
In case anyone else is having this issue I ended up borrowing a stick of different RAM from a friend and I was able to boot up. Now comes the task of finding out why after months my g.skill suddenly wanted to stop working.Quote:

I would not think your system would even run at anything close to 147C. Maybe you need to keep both panels of your case off. And, a high power personal fan from Wall or K-Mart (if you are in the US) directed at the MB.
Could be that your sensor is shot.
I don't know. I turned my computer off a an hour and restarted and everything was fine. When I turned it on this morning everything was fine also. So, I guess it was one of those anomalies. Some potential reasons......global warming, a HOT chick walked by, sunspots!Quote:

Well, it's still happening and I've been running at STOCK SPEEDS for a week. I woke up this morning to a BSOD. All stock (266mhz fsb, all voltages defined, but set to their default values, except for the memory since it won't POST unless I go up near 2.25v)
What's really frustrating is that I've got 2 sticks of Crucial Ballistix ram, and after my BSOD, the pc will not even POST if I have both sticks installed (this happens sometimes, but not everytime I BSOD). The RAM tests fine, but I haven't run it for more than 1-2 complete tests in memtest. The big thing is that I've even had the RAM RMA'd once before.
Should I just try new RAM? Switch brands completely? Is there a known "good" pairing for RAM and this mobo? Will I always need to keep the RAM voltage bumped to 2.25v, or is that a feature of my Crucial ram?
I don't have Crucial RAM, but I always had great performance out of them many times in the past. I have some Kingston HyperX PC 6400. And, not know for the best OC with the chips on it. It is on the ASUS QVC list. I run it at 2.3 V for about a year. I read that this memory needs it to perform at or above specs on a few reviews. Rated 1.95 v.Quote:

I think if you have a problem at 2.25v, you could just RAM it again.
What is your trimmings?
I assume you mean "rma".. :)Quote:

I don't know whether to try replacing the RAM, PSU, or even the mobo at this point.
Yes, RMA and it is not a QVC list. It is a QVL list :shrug:Quote:

I have a question. I have an extra Asus P5B-Deluxe that has been sitting around for a while. It had never been out of the bag. Looks like the Northbridge is glued on a little out of alignment and the pins had snapped off in the bag :eek:
Is this a problem or is the glue strong enough to hold it on:confused:

I have air cooling and am on my 3ed cooler. The one I have now is working real well even under hi loads like Prime95 or Ortho etc. I have the Q fan disabled. It is Little loud, but that is OK with me
The CPU cooler has the bottom vents pushing downward toward the backand air is hitting the pipe/ fin power cooler. Directly behind that I have an outward drawing fan. Well anyway, I was looking at that optional fan and decided to try it out despite the warnings. I installed to draw backward. But, in mostly draws down.
My Motherboard temps went from an average 50c ~ 55c under load to around 47c to 50c. The CPU temps are the same as before. This is the first time I tested it because of the warnings
Hello,
I have the following system:
P5B Deluxe Rev 1.03G (BIOS 1216)
Core 2 Duo E6600
4 Gig of DDR2 800 MHz OCZ2G8001G memory modules (memory voltage set at 2.0V)
Seagate 200 GB and 320 GB SATA disks
Asus 7900GS
Antec Sonata II 450W ATX12V v2.01 power supply
Windows XP SP2 (Ran Vista Ultimate before)
I bought the Asus P5B Deluxe in February this year, and the board has been unstable. I have had the following problems:
1) It works for the most part, but I get strange behavior such as random application crashes (Event ID 1000). Ex: Faulting application explorer.exe, version 6.0.2900.3156, faulting module shell32.dll, version 6.0.2900.3051, fault address 0x0002cb36.
Faulting application firefox.exe, version 1.8.20070.6982, faulting module js3250.dll, version 4.0.0.0, fault address 0x0004caf4.
Faulting application vmserverdWin32.exe, version 1.0.3.44356, faulting module msvcrt.dll, version 7.0.2600.2180, fault address 0x00038ae2.
Faulting application avginet.exe, version 7.5.0.473, faulting module mfc71.dll, version 7.10.3077.0, fault address 0x0002a3a3.
Faulting application avginet.exe, version 7.5.0.473, faulting module msvcr71.dll, version 7.10.3052.4, fault address 0x00010c34.
Faulting application winamp.exe, version 5.3.5.1305, faulting module gen_jumpex.dll, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00016795.
2) Sometimes I have had random reboots, but not too many.
3) I flashed to the latest BIOS a couple of weeks ago, and after the flash the ASUS logo screen during boot up would sometimes become corrupted, which made the screen displaying the logo look messed up. This is fixed now, and I don’t know if reflashing the BIOS fixed the issue.
4) Windows XP would sometimes hang on the Windows XP logo during boot, but just hitting the reset button would solve the issue. The 2 Seagate SATA disks are connected to the Intel storage controller and that is set as IDE in the BIOS.
5) When I was at the 1004 BIOS, the EZ Flash utility did not work, but a BIOS reflash fixed the issue. I am now on the latest BIOS 1216.
6) The soundmax audio produced a cracking sounds when recording my voice with skype, but this is resolved now and I believe is a known issue.
I am thinking the problems I am having with stability have something to do with a bad BIOS chip, or something to do with the storage controller. Please let me know if you have had similar problems with this board and resolved them. I am not overclocking the system and I tried downclocking my ram to 667 MHz to see if it would help. I ram memtest86 when it was set at 800 MHz and 667 MHz with 30 passes and there were no memory errors reported. So this is not a ram issue.
I am at the point where I will either RMA the board, or maybe I will waste more money on the Asus P5N32-E board.
Any feedback would be appreciated.
Thanks

I think you have both a Bios problem and a Operating System.
I would clear that bios by unplugging the computer and taking the batter out for a minute or so or use the jumper to clear it. Then you should be-able to flash it With Easy Flash. Maybe you need a fresh XP install after. That maybe better than trying to fix a corrupted registry and/ or the rest of the OS. You could try a restore point. But, sometimes that does not work well or at all. If dills etc are gone and services are not working correct. A registry resort may be ineffective.
Well, since the application crashes are not occurring that much lately, I will see how it runs with the memory set at 667 MHz. If it keeps crashing then I will RMA.
Has anyone had bad BIOS flashes with this board? Is it true that the P5B Deluxe does not like being flashed.
Thanks for the feedback.
I could never get EZ-Flash to work. It always said their was 'no boot signature.' However I have updated the bios on several occasions using the 'AFUDOS' utility and the old trustworthy floppy.Quote:

I have one that I bought right after they first were available. I have flashed it a dozen times or so all using the ez-flash, never have had a problem.
test99, set your vdimm to 2.1, 800, 5-5-5-15, that should work. Also, you should do a clean install of xp.
[XC] 4X4N - The OCZ RAM on the OCZ site does say 2.1V, so I just set the VDIMM to 2.1 and back to 800 MHz. I left it on SPD settings in BIOS, and CPU Z reports 5-5-5-15 2T. I'll let you know if there are any more application crashes.
Thanks for the feedback.

Intel e6400 @ 3.2 (400 x 8)
After nine months running without a glitch I randomly start experiencing BSODs. These occur while I'm surfing/gaming, basically any random task; a reboot temporarily fixes the issue. Around this same time I notice that whenever I shut my computer down for the night it won't post when I go back to turn it on until I change out the RAM with a stick of no-name PC2-5300. At first I thought "well these G.Skill need more juice" so I upped the voltage to 2.25. Things work fine for a few days then I go to turn the computer on one morning and nothing, no post. I'm forced to remove the RAM and boot with the extra stick I have.
I'm not sure what's going on here. It's like even though I have the correct voltage set, the motherboard isn't suppling it to the RAM on a cold boot. I'm constantly have to kick start the damn thing. Also just to rule out bad ram I've run the stuff with memtest86 for hours upon hours.
Any ideas? Suggestions? I'm almost to the point of ordering the IP35 Pro. Would this board have the same problems with RAM voltage?
I had a similar problem when my Gskill HZ died, and with just 2.25v.
Does anyone have a problem with their Q6600 CPU temp readings?. When I first boot up the temp readings are fine, but when I resume from standby they are 15-20 degrees higher. The core readings are fine it's just the CPU temp that gets messed up. bios 1216
So did you end up just replacing it with another set? I don't understand how it could be the RAM because it works fine once I get it to post.Quote:

A little searching reveals that lots of people are having problems with their memory. Seemed like a good company at first, now I'm rather disenchanted with them and am wishing I got something else. I would've had to go with CAS5 instead of CAS4 though.
How is the RMA experience with G.Skill? Are we talking weeks or months?Quote:

Is anyone here running this board with Vista? If so where did you get the drivers and how does it perform?
Yes, I am running Vista x64. When I installed Vista the only drivers I had to install were my graphics and sound drivers. Everything else was automatically installed by Vista. I use an E6600.
I had Pci x1 and a harddrive that would freeze for 15 ~ 30 seconds with a clicking sound, but their apparently were sovled by setting PCI Express Frequency to 101.
Hope this Helps!
Well, I tried setting the ram at 2.1V but no improvement. I RMA'ed the MB and received the newer rev 1.10G board with the P965 C2 stepping. It’s been running for 4 days with no issues. So I think the old board was screwy.Quote:

Anyway, Thanks for the help.
What rev did they start the C2 Stepping?
As a follow up, in case anyone else runs into this problem, I ended up RMAing the RAM to G.Skill. They shipped me a new set in two days and it seems to be working fine now.Quote:

I could go 4-4-4-12 if I wanted to go 2.3 - 2.35v.
doakh, I don't see your Vcore in the sig. What are you using?Quote:

It is on the supported CPU list for the P5B D, If you change the multiplier it will post a wrong CPU speed. You are good with 1215, why not get 1216?Quote:

Do u advice me to go for it?!

i did the mod.. just find the right place to pencil.. then do 1-3 stokes.. because if you do too many strokes.. it'll lower the resistance too much... i did my mom over 8 months ago.. and it still showing no drop in my vcore!Quote:

At lower Vcore, I get a .01 to .03 Vdrop.

Strange that so few BIOS Updates come out. Considering the multiplier bug on quadcores.
i got some arctic cooling PWM fans and it says to connect them to one another and then into the CPU fan connector. Is this safe?? I mean how many amps can the PWM CPU fan connector take??
I searched for similiar issues, couldn't find any, though I'm sure I'm not the only one this has happened to.
I had to change the waterblock on my P5B Deluxe about a week ago, and, I removed the CPU to clean. (Pet Peeve) I'm blind, BUT, I ALWAYS have a sighted person around when I'm inside computer, and, they noticed "small Gold things" hanging out of socket. Computer was upright, MB perpendicular to floor naturally. Now, I've heard that those socket 775's are only good for so many cycles, is this a truism? And, is pins apparently hanging out something that "Happens" when your just not very lucky? And, aside from all this, can Asus FIX this, and replace pins, or socket??? I was told by seller of MB that this WAS possible for about 40$. But, I called to confirm, they just said, "send it in as RMA", IF it is Physical Damage, we will contact you with repair cost if repair is possible. I'm waiting for board to come back from an IDIOTIC dealer, who told me to "Send it in to them" even though I Called them first, and Warned them of the issue. When they got it, they said simply "physical damage, you pay return shipping" and they send it back to arrive Fri. the 12th. Then I GUESS on to Asus.
Can anybody PLEASE shed some light on this issue, if indeed it IS an issue?
And, since I CAN'T see HOW the socket operates, do the pins sit down in the socket when the lock bar is up, and come "UP" into the CPU contacts when metal retainer is closed, and locking bar is lowered, and snapped into place?????
Thank You

ok, I've got a familliar problem, but still no solution.
I installed the latest Intel P965 chipset INF files, Intel Matrix Storage and this "thing" is still not working.
here's a screenshot:

any fixes? :)

WinXP SP2. I'm not trying to enable anything. That should be there.Quote:

Strange ! And it does not show up in Device Manager. I guess you right clicked it to see anything extends.Quote:

whats with the quad multipler bug?
I was just about to buy one you see !
currently got a E6600 but VERY power hungry ...
1.5875V (bios setting) for 3.4 gig LOL ! :down: :down:
The MB reports the wrong clock speed when you change the multiplier. I is only a visual bug. It is during the boot up only. After, everything reports correctly.Quote:

Do you have the Intel Chipset Software Utility 8.3.1.1009 9/24/2007 installed?

Do you have the ASUS ATK0110 installed? I have that disabled and I have an unknown device. But, not in Matrix Manager.
I have an unknown USB device. I think that is a defective back USB header connector on the MB. My first MB I RMAed for a bad firewire port.
nope.Quote:

I have the same issue. My usb ports wont recognize anything I plug into them :confused: are my usb ports dead? should I RMA?
Ok guys, I'm having a pretty weird issue. Cpu-z, or any other kind of software monitoring tool, can't see my mem timings any more. I don't have any kind of issues, hangups or what ever. The timings are as always set to 4-4-4-12 in the BIOS.
The systools readings are PRETTY weird hehe. Got the same performance as before this started so the readings have to be wrong.

Not a big problem really, but pretty annoying. I recon a format and reinstall of XP would do the trick, but thats a pain in the ... :rolleyes: Just checking to see if any of you guys had this kinda stuff before.
Well I almost jumped ship with a P35 board. I returned it because the realtek controller would not read either of my two DVD/CD RW. I have one SATA and one IDE. I even deleted a RAID. I was trying to load Vista on it for 1/2 of day. Why is realtek making controllers anyway?Quote:

What you need is the S/N on the board. But, It is also on the box. From that they can tell the date and it has, I think, 1 year. You can get an advanced replacement. They are not hard to work with.
I think this works asus: tec support 502 995 0883
If all your USB ports are out, you need to RAM the board... I would think.
I get the memory timings "greyed-out" in cpu-z also Higgins. This happens when I set use MemSet to set my CAS timings. The correct timings will show in cpu-z until I reboot, then the timings disappear in both cpu-z and MemSet...but I know the selected timings have been activated. Not sure why they are greyed-out?
Unfortunately, I must use MemSet, because if I disable the automatic "ram timings by speed" bios setting, even at default settings and stock 266FSB, the system will not post. But it is completely stable at 450FSB x 7 with stock voltages, using MemSet set to 4-4-4-12 @ 1.9v.
I think a bios flash wowld give you full control in the bios again. I would use the DOS method.Quote:

This forum as well as the intel site say RAID in the bios is the same as ACHI except with raid support but this seems to not be the case. I noticed the following differences.
1 - Low power mode settings in the bios that show on AHCI are not available when RAID is configured.
2 - The drives show in the bios when in AHCI but not when using RAID.
3 - My hitachi boot cd which I use to configure accoustic mode, read ahead cache and write cache on each drive does not load when AHCI is enabled but is fine on plain ide and RAID. So works with RAID but not AHCI. This doesnt matter if the cd drive is on the jmicron controller or the intel.
4 - If using RAID and install windows then go into bios and change to AHCI windows will not boot and vice versa meaning the drivers are different as well.
5 - When using AHCI there is the stuttering problem on video media but goes away when using RAID mode.
This is on a multiple hd configuration hds mixture of pata and sata but no raid setup.
The ICH7 and it seems also the ICH8 and ICH9 chipsets seem to have a major flaw in that a non raid configuration that utilises NCQ cannot have write caching enabled. When installing intel matrix storage software for raid configurations there is a write back cache option which I assume is write caching, intel disable this option on single drive configurations. The driver itself disables the toggling in device manager and using the dskcache tool, sometimes the option is available in device manager and you can tick the box but if going back after can see it disables again and this message in event viewer "The driver disabled the write cache on device \Device\Harddisk5\DR5." for each drive.
So to summarise.
Can use basic ide mode where sata emulates old ide standard and windows uses microsoft ide drivers this allows write caching but does not allow NCQ.
Can use AHCI mode which is satas native mode and it allows NCQ and hotswapping but does not allow write caching due to intels drivers turning it off.
Can use RAID mode which also allows NCQ but I believe hotswapping is not available in this mode which is what I think causes the extra problems in AHCI mode, write cache can be enabled in this mode but only when using raid.
I have googled and there is dozens and dozens of people reporting the same problem of not been able to enable write cache when using AHCI/RAID on single drives and most of them like myself dont want to use plain ide as its a slower compatible mode which doesnt allow NCQ. The problem also exists in vista on the intel drivers but I dont know if it happens on the microsoft vista drivers since vista has built in ahci drivers meaning the intel drivers are not needed for NCQ in vista. I believe intel did this as they feel write cache can make raid look unstable and dont want the bad publicity so took the safe route, personally not only does it make a large difference to my use but I also have a UPS supply connected to my pc so things like power cuts are not a major issue for me infact I usually get 1 power cut maybe once every 3 or so years. This to me looks like a flaw with the intel chipset/drivers which intel probably considered not major in that people will either use raid setups or just use ide mode. So am now looking into a nforce board or may consider putting vista on this pc.
