I can put a second noctua on my cpu but I must put out the asus chipset fan

somebody can me give reference à good Dissipateur Mosfet and Chipset fan to down my mb T°

I wait a new case haf 932

sorry but i have a so bad english :shrug:

Hi genish...saw you've had fsb as high as 482. Any luck with 500 fsb 1:1? what were your settings?

Or in the BIOS for that matter. I can set the voltage values, but not see the result real time.

Why is this? Something Asus decided for the P5Q series or bug in BIOS? (I have the 1406 BIOS)
Do you guys have the same 'problem' as me?

What version of the board do you have? it should say on the box or a sticker on the board i think.

There's nothing wrong with his board , there are NO readouts foreseen via bios... in fact here are not many manufacturers that have these readouts in medium range mobo's, only the MFII has this for the Asus P45 mobo's...

This is what we here all have :

Hi guys,

I've now build my new system, here's the full spec:

Asus P5Q-E
Q9550, Yorkfield Core 2.83Ghz
(2x2GB) Corsair Dominator DDR2 PC2-8500 1066
XFX GTX 260 (216) Black Edition PCI-E Graphics Card
Corsair 620W HX Modular PSU - ATX12V v2.2 APFC
Coolermaster Cosmos RC-1000 Full Tower Case
Western Digital WD6400AAKS 640GB Hard Drive
Zalman CNPS 9700 LED

I've been running the system for just over a week now, and it's running very sweet... My stock 3D Mark06 score is 14302...

Anyway I want to get a nice overclock for 24/7 use, I'm aiming for 3.6GHz...

So far i've managed to get 3.0GHz which increased my 3D Mark06 score to 15210, and 3.2GHz which increased my 3D Mark06 score to 15808 these are both rock solid stable...

On the above 2 settings, I only changed the voltage for CPU to 1.2250v and the DRAM to 2.0v everything else was set to Auto...

After reading I found the board likes to over-volt when the voltages are set to auto, so for my 3.4Ghz I decided to put all the voltages in my self...

I then tried 3.4GHz which increased my 3D Mark06 score to 17048, but this failed Prime95 on work thread 1, running a Torture Test (in-place large FFTs) after 2 hours...

Here's how I set the Bios for 3.4Ghz, any ideas what to change to increase stabillity?

First try the above changes plz, if no go, up the Vcore to 1.25 and test again... hope you are on bios 1406. (solved a lot of issues on my P5Q-E)

What sort of issues did the 1406 bios solve?

Hello there, i got Q9550 here and i used to run whit 3400Mhz on first days when i got this chip, but hell yeah its most easiest overclock that there can be! On my situation after 3.8Ghz i will need to start tweaking more to stay stable but that 3.4Ghz should be really easy to obtain.

check out your template for my changes, few more to Leeghoofd advice

After all i would just try change LLC enabled and test stability

hello
2nd time for me to post writing here, I am new to oc, and got this question which i dont understand, i have a p5q pro, p5q deluxe, and q9550, q9650,
and i mix and match them cpus and memory, what i get the best match is p5q pro and q9650 ( i have tried to test almost everything i can, coz original idea is to put the expansive cpu with expansive mb p5q deluxe, but it just wont go anything stable more then 3.85. cheaper board better result? anyone have any answer?

I'm 1 hour in so far running a Torture Test (in-place large FFTs), I'll let you guys know how it goes, and thanks for all the advice...

A little update so far the system is running stable, and I have also disabled "C1E Suppport" I need a program that really tests the stabillity though as Prime95 takes ages... Any ideas?

Try the Intel Burn test by Agent God, or the LinX, they put loads of stress on the CPU and can be pretty conclusive... do max test and about 20-30 loops (preferably 64bit OS)... so about finished in one hour... OCCT is also over and done in 2 hours...

Yet again I have to say that there's no 100% bulletproof test... running several (not at the same time ofcourse) might be more reassuring

Thanks, I'll try the Intel Burn Test, do you have a link to the Linx test and I will give that one a go as well...

Cheers Gaz...

LinX grab here and extract with winrar : LinX

Full thread here : LinX thread

FYI that 1406 revision of p5q-e bios revised a lot of bugs from previous bios versions... Flashed a buddy's and got his OC to improev atleast 5%. Good luck

Hi guys,

What would be a safe temp for the Q9550 45nm Yorkfield?

When running LinX on a 20000 problem size for 30 loops the hottest core in Everest hits 73c, is this safe?

The CPU temp is only 55c, I know the Core temps are hotter but 73c does seem quite high, my Zalman is running at 2200rpm so I can increase this if needed...

Oh and I seem to have it rock solid now, with only 1.225v for the CPU...

Thanks for all the help...

.

How is the vcore and cpu clock? it is stock?

for stock, this temp is not problem, but with overclock you may have stabilty issues.

Nah LinX and IBT stress a CPU way more than any program or game will ever do... resulting in about 8-10°C higher load coretemp then prime small FFT... so he's pretty safe in temps...

Good to hear, when testing with Prime95 it doesn't go above 54c on the hottest core... I have also switched to Real Temp, which I think is more accurate and the Hottest core on LinX now does not go above 68c... I've upped the FSB to 1.24v as well, I've read a lot about this board overvolting if you select the Auto or even the next step up in voltage...

http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...review-14.html

Quick question. Im running my e8400 at 440x9 (Its not the best clocker in the world it took some juice to even get it there) and my ram at 1100mhz 5-5-5-15-pl8 @2.1v bios. My cpu is at a little over 1.4v corev, 1.36vtt, 1.56pll, and my gtls at .645. My northbridge is currently at 1.26 and Im running a 2x2gb kit now. I just ordered another 2x2gb kit of the same stuff and I was wondering how much if at all that I would need to bump up the NBv.
My other question is, How high do you guys feel comfortable running the voltage on your ram? I know this board overvolts the ram by ~0.8v.
Thanks in advance.

Can anybody post your settings with Q9550 @471х8.5

this board just went on sale for 170$ shipped. at that price its kinda getting my interest as its close to my original decision (dfi dk p45 plus) so whats the overall consesus about the mobo?

My cpu is at a little over 1.4v corev, 1.36vtt, 1.56pll, and my gtls at .645. My northbridge is currently at 1.26 and Im running a 2x2gb kit now. I just ordered another 2x2gb kit of the same stuff and I was wondering how much if at all that I would need to bump up the NBv.
My other question is, How high do you guys feel comfortable running the voltage on your ram? I know this board overvolts the ram by ~0.8v.
Thanks in advance.

You prolly need a bit more NB voltage to stabilize again, could also be to put 9 PL level... one thing is for sure : your rams will appreciate active cooling and are you sure you can fit 4 reapers in there ? Secondly you need 1.36 VTT ? didn't you mean 1.26 or such ?

Plz fill in the template :

P5Q Dlx Template

Also list all of ya hardware, but I would bump up Vcore to 1.35 and PLL to 1.56 for starters to see if it goes away then

Overal concensus is great here, after some issues with the Q9series latest bios releases have solved most problems ( there will always be incompatabilities, no board is bugproof )

Most users get +500FSB on duallies and +450 with quads... for day to day basis a solid performer, for benching some other boards might be better ( GB P45 UD3P eg) But I prefer Asus for build quality and 3 year warranty...

If possible ask ya vendor to get one with a rev A3 NB...

With this settings with Vcore 1,29 i am stable at 460x8.5
And at 471x8.5 i get blue screens while the test

Temp is normal- not more than 60C under linpack

You're going to need 1.35 - 1.40v for 4GHz stable I think. Maybe increasing vFSB to 1.30v would help too. You could also adjust your GTL Refs to gain a little stability, try setting both GTL Refs to 0.67x and set vcore to 1.38v and retest it.

hello guys...

a chipset waterblock for this motherboard ????

swiftech mcw30 or...???

thanks..........

alright, i bought the board, should be in this week. for e8400 users, what bios are you guys using?

1406 is very good jdmR...

Also for the watercooling, I still run stock cooling heatpipe solution on my 2 boards with 500FSB Duallie and 450FSB quad no worries ( I have an Antec spotcool blowing on the rams and the NB ) So I see no real point to go watercooling and buying other parts for the mosfets, etc for maybe no real big gain... I would try first the stock solution and then you can still WC it later on if you need more

hi guys , this is my first post in this priceless thread

this is my setup:

ANTEC 1200 case
MB ASUS P5Q Deluxe
Core 2 Quad Q9550
Radeon HD4870x2
Corsair Dominator 1066, 8 GB (4x2)
PC Power & Cooling 750W

i havent been stable in blend mode (prime95) since i bought this rig almost 3 months ago

there would always be rounding errors only 2 mins into testing

two days ago i changed these two options from auto to disabled and the last option from auto to lighter and finally managed to get blend stable :yepp:

ok those 3 options i changed in the last post actually made me fail post today, i tried to turn on my machine and no video signal on the tv, i tried reseating everything and when i finally took out one 2 gig dominator stick the post went thru and it said "overclocking failed" :ROTF::rofl:

i immediately knew it was those last changes i made that were the culprit


im just trying to be stable at 3.4 and im not sure if ive setup everything right, thats why i need ur input guys so any feedback would be appreciated :up:

:slapass: dominator ;) not to overclock

@ x3mgamer - try this if you want to try and get 3.6 stable, it should be easy with your cpu.

Hi, would it be worth upgrading to a P5Q Deluxe from a P5W DH Deluxe?

CryptiK,

i did exactly as u said and now the idle temps reported by everest r mobo 31, cpu 32, cores 51 49 46 46

but when i start prime core temps rocket to above 80s

either my vendetta 2 aint seated well enough with those pushpins or the silmore grease i used aint better than cooking oil, either way next week ill probably get thermalright bolt-thru kit and some silver grease and then we'll try this again

where exactly did u get those values from? they seem very professional and based on long term trial & error

Yes sounds like not so great contact on cpu, you shouldnt be at 80*C+ with only 1.30 vcore.

I have a fair bit of overclocking experience with these P45's, and from your gear that looked like a good general template to start with. Once you get your temps under control I can help you further tweak it for your hardware after some stress testing has been done.

thx dude, ill post back when ive tamed those temps :ROTF:

hey cryptik, can you post your bios settings

If you are sticking with ya current CPU (and it still can do 3.6Ghz on ya P5W) not really... better wait for better prices on I7 or Phenom II release

I've upgraded my CPU to a Q9450. Would it still be worthwhile? I'm having trouble with my P5W and Q9450 (BSOD while installing Vista) so I'm thinking of alternative combo's.

yes the P5Q Dlx is a far more stable platform for quads then the old aging 975... I would say a definite YES

is it true p5q deluxe overvolts vdimm by .08 volts?

My 2 dlx's do it , almost same as early findings and no bios update solved it..( but it's typical Asus to overvolt)

Here's a measurement by Jvidia at 450FSB : conclusion AUTO is dangerous !

http://users.telenet.be/OAP/P5QDlx/p...eadingscl8.jpg

This can ofcourse vary form board to board but it's a good rule of thumb

so how is it possible auto and the next value r equal in the reading columns, is that because the value below "auto" is the value measured while the setting was on auto or what?

I haven't verified the lowest value anymore as I hardly use it. But with early biosses AUTO and lowest value where the same, on a german forum users have measured with a DMM and told that the lowest value seems to be correct now ( with a slight overvoltage ) so eg 1.5 is 1.51 measured...

currently almost all of my settings r set to auto, is there any danger of frying anything at this clock (3.4) because of overvolting issues?:confused:

I would say YES there's a danger, probably more danger of frying the mobo rather than the CPU... try to set manually plz

is it safe to use the values Cryptik gave me or r those values reserved only for the 3.6 clock ?

Tim's settings are safe... try them and try to lower each voltage setting as low as possible...

thank u kind sir :)

ok what i did now was lower the voltages one notch above minimum and enabling LLC and disabling CPU and PCIE spread spectrum, the setup looks like this now:

i didnt touch gtl voltages or references coz i presume they wont overvolt above safe values or will they, is there anything out of the ordinary with this setup or is it safe for 24/7 use?

x3mgamer The FSB voltage looks a little low I thought 1.20v was the default setting on this board? How's the stabillity?

I'm running my Q9550 2.83GHz @ 3.4GHz

hey gazmatrix,

minimum fsb termination voltage is 1.10, thats one notch above auto, and i used 2 notches above auto, therefore 1.12, blend still fails no matter what, i should probably give up trying to get stable in blend

I'm running a very similar system to you, try the setings I'm using above, my temps are well within safe limits and my cooler is not the best (Zalman 9700) Idle is around 51c and load is 63c running LinX...

How much ram are you using 4GB or 8GB?

I'm not too sure on the FSB being 1.10, but I found this on the FSB/VTT:

vFSB/VTT: From 1.24V onwards the VTT is perfectly acceptable. However, the auto and 1.20V settings are quite high.

This is taken from here: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...review-14.html

im using 8 GB corsair dominator 8500CD5F 1066 ram, this ram guy at corsair forums said this:

The only DDR2 DRAM modules that are supported in a four module configuration are the Quad packages.

This does not mean that they will not work. It just means that there is no support for RMA of such configurations. Because you are populating four DRAM slotsp, this changes the dynamic of the system in comparison to populating with two DRAM slots. You are advised to drop the DRAM bandwidth and raise the Northbridge Memory Controller voltage +.2v to achieve stability with a four DRAM slot population.

I guess i should mention, i reboot etc fine once it runs the 8gb.
It's when i have powered off the comp and restarting it after some hours i get the no boot issue.


There are issues that will arise in the longer term. You are already seeing inconsistency and it will not get better in the longer term. As long as you do not overvolt the DRAM (2.1v) you will not damage it, however, you can and many often do damage the motherboard memory controller (Intel) if you do not raise the MCH voltage and lower the DRAM speed. Sooner or later you will shut the system down, and it will not start.

The other alternative is to overclock the CPU, thus concurrently clocking up the memory controller which allows you to access higher data throughput to the DRAM.


basicaly what hes saying is over time my mb will die coz there r 4 slots populated

I use a M2F now, bit this is what I ran when using the P5Q-Deluxe. I use D9 based ram so you may need looser timings & or more voltage with other types of ram - with 2 x 2GB sticks I'd recommend 5-5-5-15-5-55-8-5 primary timings, 8-3-5-4-5-4-6 secondaries and 14-5-1-6-6 tertiaries at 2.0 - 2.1v. Also if you use 2x2GB you may need more vNB than I gave in the template.

Who wrote that RamGuy ? well 8gb complicates it ofcourse... Try the settings below then first with 4GB and actively cool them rams with a dominator fan or eg an Antec spotcool (I use the latter as it cools the rams and blows some fresh air on the NB too)

First run small FFT's to see if the CPU is stable, blend later on for ram an co

unfortunately both sets of Leeghoofd settings failed to get stability, the second set (vcore 1.2) prolonged the stability for 5 mins but it still failed after 7 mins

ill try Gazmatrix's setup next

Try with 4g first mate to determine CPU stability, if small FFT passes then it's time to mes with blend... first things first (try the above plz)

Also you can try with eg HCI Memtest in windows to test the ram seperately... could also be one dimm is flakey...

8GB can be done it's no problem, even without going nuts on volts

http://users.telenet.be/OAP/P5QDlx/8Gb400-1066blend.JPG

this is not fair at all :ROTF:

it turns out Gazmatrix's setup manages to make Blend stable!

but at what ridiculous price!

my core temps go to 73 now , measured by everest under blend and i should point out i had this 3.4 clock stable at only 1.1375 vcore whereas now with gazmatrix's vcore of 1.22500 i get blend stable but temps go thru the roof, i wanna get blend stable with that ultimate low voltage i used before (1.1375 and a C1 revision!!), but the question is, if i lower the vcore to 1.1375 and keep all gazmatrix's settings , should i lower gtl voltage references too and other voltages?

[QUOTE=Leeghoofd;3465998]You prolly need a bit more NB voltage to stabilize again, could also be to put 9 PL level... one thing is for sure : your rams will appreciate active cooling and are you sure you can fit 4 reapers in there ? Secondly you need 1.36 VTT ? didn't you mean 1.26 or such ?



Yeah, Im trying to stabilize now. Im trying for 1.3NBv or 1.32NBv. I may need to go to a 9PL, thanks for the idea. Its a tight fit but there in there. With the fans in my case they stay pretty cool even in Linpack. My rig sounds like a wind tunnel. The thing that sucks is that OCZ apparently redesigned the reapers. Thet are using different heat spreaders, but dont look too different. The main problem is that when I got my sticks and looked at the sticker on the spreaders I noticed that they are made to run at 2.2v! I dont know if they are using different ICs or what, but I need to play around to get stable. Yeah, my chip loves vtt, its not the best performing chip in the world. My corev is also like 1.43 in bios! For a 440fsb! Ill upgrade one of these days. That q9550 looks tempting.

I had a couple of questions back on my post #4644, and have a couple more, if someone wants to take a shot at them.

Is there any real benefit to enabling the Static Read Control?

What's the final verdict on the operation/options for CPU Margin Enhancement?

The lower FSB Strap to North Bridge performs better on other boards, is there a specific reason most of you are leaving it AUTO on the P5Q?

I keep seeing a recommendation of 55 for the Row Refresh Cycle Time, again is there a specific reason to leave it loose on the P5Q?

1) use realtemp or coretemp to properly readout the values ( verify the corrrect TJcasemax : Everest is probably reading 5°C too much )
2) you claim stability based on what ? if the CPU is stable at small FFT ( at least 8 hours) I can hardly imagine you need to up Vcore to 1.225 to get blend stablity
3) You need to take these templates as a guideline, final tweaking is for you, if you are 100% sure 1.1375 made the CPU stable before, why not try 1.21Vcore and properly adjust PLL and FSB Term voltages...and try go down...
Each CPU, mobo,ram, PSU combination is different and even though a template can work fine, it doesn't mean you cannot go lower on certain voltages...
Blend stability is also over a long period of time, you claim stability again based on what ? a 60 min run ?
4) Which cooler do you use on ya setup ?

1. ya everest is always reading too much, realtemp and coretemp r more like it

2. another test failed after a few minutes so no stability yet

3. if i lower vcore i shouldnt worry about other values right? cpu voltage isnt influencing other values, or am i mistaken, other values being fsb term, pll, gtl references, nb, sb, pcie sata voltages?

4. OCZ Vendetta 2

edit
bios 1611
no vdrop,but look here
vcore go up,by load

I'm not sure what you are trying to show there?

vcore;)go up,by load

Ah ok, my P5Q-D did that with all BIOS versions -> 0.008v increase under load.

about cpu gtl reference voltages:


think of it more as a signaling threshold rather then actual voltage applied to the CPU. Although the data that is transmitted across the FSB is digital, the signal response isn't completely on and off, there is some transition time between there.

http://www.thetechrepository.com/att...1&d=1169236522

In the figures from the post here, think of Vtt and Vss as on and off. The GTLREF voltage is the line that the signal has to cross before the signal is seen to have changed from on to off or vice versa.

http://www.thetechrepository.com/att...1&d=1169078346

As the speed of the FSB scales, the response to changes from on to off can change, resulting in a need to adjust the point that the signal is seen to change up or down. By doing this, you can place the reference point somewhere that it wont be freaked out by the noise in the signal as it changes.

In summary, you aren't actually adjusting the voltage that is provided to your CPU, you are just tweaking the point that it will see as a change in the signal the FSB is sending it to try and squeeze out a bit more stability at higher FSB speeds.:up:

not here,best bios ever 1306,but asus has It no more:mad:

Now, I suffered continuing vocational test with bios 1611

Don't you have it saved somewhere? I still have a copy of 1306 if you want I can email it to you. PM me your email address if you want me to send you it.

I think it's best to start from scratch here and try to determine if we can get it stable even at just stock settings... if you want to do it ofcourse. But trying templates, changing voltages on the fly will probably not give you the result you want...

Best bios to use is 0803 or 1406 (haven't tried 1611 here)

First pull one set of dimms... and use 4GB only... reset bios to defaults, reboot and set just the Vdimm to a correct value (I would set 0.08 lower than required eg 2.02 for 2.1Vdimm ops), ram timings manually 5-5-5-15 and TRFC 55 and NB to 1.2

Then boot into windows and launch Prime and run Small FFT test : (make sure you got CPU-Z open to verify Vcore) and Real temp eg to monitor coretemps... if the CPU passes eg 1 hour without an issue (no cores capping out), reboot the rig and set Vcore yourself to a value lower than monitored before in CPU-Z...test again till one of the cores fails, then give her some more juice... then test the rams with Hyperpi, HCI Memtest,...

if all is stable swap the current 4GB kit with the other 2 dimms... retest ram stability again with that kit (Hyperpi 4 instances 32MB, HCI memtest etc...)

If that is stable report back with ya working Vcore setting etc... then we can see if we can get the 4 sticks stable...

I think it's better to do it like this because what works for us, might not work for you... there are enough kind peeps here that will guide you through it mate

will do sir :up: im on it (bios 1406)

ok i pulled one set of dimms so now only slots 1 & 3 r populated, i disabled marvel ide, express gate , starting logo, firewire and all that bs i dont need

ive set everything exactly as u said (TRFC being row refresh cycle time? cant see what else could it be)

all is idle and cpuz is reporting vcore oscilating between 1.104,1.112,1.120,1.136

core speed is also reported being 2003 MHz coz of C1 and speedstep being enabled

realtemp 2.70 is showing minimums of 39 36 31 31

starting prime 95 small fft............................................... ..........................

.......

4 cores 100 % load each, cpu-z is reporting constant vcore of 1.136

realtemp is showing maximums of 54 52 53 53 after 5 minutes of small fft

to be continued...


small update after 40 mins prime cpu-z is showing vcore 1.144 and realtemp maximums r 55 54 53 53

1 hour prime finished without errors.......reboot.......vcore set to 1.12500 being the lower value than 1.136 first reported by cpu-z under load

idle:

cpu-z vcore same oscilations, realtemp minimums 38 34 30 30

load fft:

cpu-z vcore 1.120, realtemp maximums (after 5 mins) 53 49 51 51, this test will keep on going for approx. 9 hours more till i come home from work, if it doesnt fail that is

Good increase in ram bandwith and drop on latency, though most users disable it as it's one of the main causes of instabilitty

If you are not seeking for max performance leave on auto if you want max performance manual selection is required and good NB voltage/GTL tuning, hence why most leave it on auto...

55 is recommended for 2GB dimms, so in your case you can tighten it... most 1gb dimms run happily at 42 and lower

K Good start then, temps are already pretty high for just 2.8Ghz ops (is that Tjcasemax 100 set ?) I already would start to think to buy a cooler with a decent mounting (meaning backplate with screws) Those pushpins are really the most crappy invention ever, as they severely bend the mobo, making the heatsinks loose contact with the mosfets etc...

If it surivives the small FFT you can try a blend run then... if that passes, swap the dimms for the other pair and don't change a thing...

Probably that for most users 1406 is the better bios ? probably another imaging error like we had already a zillion times with Asus

wow 8 hours 48 mins prime and no errors :ROTF:

minimums 38 34 30 30

maximums 53 53 51 51

starting blend................... ( i could probably lower vcore further and further and test with fft until cores start failling but whats the point right?)

ok first core failed after 8 mins, second 15 etc.


Leeghoofd heeeeeeeelp :ROTF:

K did it fail in test for the ram, so big numbers (1024K) or was it already busy with eg 8K ?? I have a distinct feeling the mobo doesn't like your rams at all... swap them for the other kit ( so still max 4Gb ) don't change a thing in the bios...and retest blend plz or run an OCCT Mix or even LinX or Intel Burn test program (eg IntelBurnTest.zip )

So you got 333FSB and 1000mhz rams ? or are they at 1066Mhz ( read out via CPU-Z plz ) Plz fill in the ram timings detected by the bios ( via AUTO setting) in the template :( grab here ) P5Q Dlx template

You are on which bios now ?

first core failed after 2 mins (1024k) fatal error: rounding was 05, expected less than 0.4, same thing with all other cores, im on 1406 bios right now,

cpu-z timing readout:

dram freq: 534.3
fsb:dram : 5:8
cas 5
ras to cas 5
ras precharge 5
cycle time 15
command rate 2T

swapping out with other kit..............


system wouldnt boot if slot 1 wasnt populated, i tried booting with slots 2,4 populated, no go


............i have a bad feeling about this, blend is priming for 15 mins now without errors, what happens if its those first 2 sticks that r making rig unstable? should i rma a kit coz of rounding errors in blend?

I have not been following the scenario with your setup, however, have you tried memtest 3.8 in windows with the other ram running on that board yet? Sorry if you allready did this, but if you have not, it will tell the tale rather quickly IMHO.

Larry

Hi Larry, i havent done that yet, what do u have in mind exactly? btw with these 2 sticks blend has been going on for 36 mins now without errors
