Alright, I've installed the 1201 of 4 machines now and just off the top using EZFlash on over a defaulted bios will not require a cmos reset after flashing.
I haven't done any clocking yet, but thought I'd mention it.

Well, after badgering Asus something chronic about the P5Q series BIOS, it looks like they are not going to be doing too much more with it. There may be an odd new BIOS here and there to improve memory compatibility more, and perhaps address the 400 strap issues, but thats about it. Here is the responce from Asus regarding both PCI-E and 400 trap issues;
I'm sorry for my late reply.
Here is the latest BIOS 1306 availalbe now: http://dlsvr.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/so...S-PRO-1306.zip
In fact, we have no such BIOS aimed at improving PCIE overclocking capability.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
Sincerely and best regards,
Lyn_Quan
Notice how they say nothing about the 400 strap problems.. maybe some of you guys want to send them an email telling them in detail about the narfed 400 strap?
Still working on it, but this is with your 803M Ket, Nice job!
Now if I could just get below PL10 I'd be happy.

Big Lar - are you using 1:1 FSB:RAM ratio? If so you can't go below PL10. If not, what vNB are you using?
Thanks for the info :) I am running 1:1 as I only have Pc8000 ram. Settings are below, guess I need to get some better ram.Quote:

ps. any comments feel free to advise :)
thanks alot bro works great!
LLC enabled?Quote:

I'm using your modded 1201 BIOS for the Deluxe and I can't seem to get the E-Z Flash tool to work. The tool starts up but halts when it searches for locations for BIOS files. Other than that the BIOS seems to work great, and I appreciate your hard work on these.
thats probobly true :(Quote:

the 400 strap works as of bios v1104, but of course it is slower then 333 strap. i can do 510fsb easily on a 333 strap, the 400 strap doesnt take me further. then again how many P5Qs are running 510fsb 24/7 stable? ;)
the "1200mhz no boot bug" does exist on the P5Q, 1199mhz is 24/7 stable tho :shrug:
your 1306 mBios appears to be/act identicle to the official 1306, no better no worse, identicle performance.
again, thank you for the effort :yepp:
I had the same problem at first.Quote:

Cool, I'll give it a shot after I finish a WU.
I'll try your settings here with LLC disabled, now I'm running at 3.8 but with the high vcore (1.39)Quote:

Also, it looks like I need a vdrop pencil mod. I set my vcore to 1.4825 in the bios, and in cpuz I get 1.416v idle and load. LLC is disabled as when I enable it, it is complete unstable.
Weird, I set LLC to enabled and don't get any instability at all. Almost no vDroop either.
I have mine set to enabled and neither do I.Quote:

Glad it helped tho I really don't know how. I can run just fine with LLC enabled, but it seems that I need to run a higher voltage to duplicate my same OC, kinda weird.Quote:

Reading some of the banter I figure I may as well add my input for the P5Q Pro, all the testing I have done so far shows none of the discussed issues over the last page or so. However I can join the vdroop boat. If I set 1.475v in BIOS CPU-Z 1.46 reports 1.456v. Not what I would call a terrible vdroop as 1.456v is rock solid, but still, irritating all the same :p:
I forgot to post my ddr2 1200 the other so here it is before I leave town and can't play with my pc all week grr..,, enjoy,

I could only get moderate to work strong made my raid controller think my drives were imcompatible. :rofl: Thank god I made it back from that one.:up:
It does here, I have an E8400 that does 4ghz at 1.21Vcore on the DLx ( no GTL tweaks) I cannot get it stable with LLC enabled on the E, popped the CPU back into the Dlx, set 1.21, enabled LLC , stable linpack puppy...Quote:
