Memtest test 7 stresses ram and NB, if it errors out try upping the NB voltage and try to play a bit with the NB GTL values... How many passes of memtest are we talking about ? if you encountered this same behaviour on the P35 then it could well be that the CPU has issues mate... though 450FSB really isn't anything special... what happens if you try 445FSB ? ram at 1066Mhz

Hi! I've been reading the forums for a while now and I've come to the point where I need some guidance. I'm trying to get my E8400 rock stable at 4500Mhz. With my current setting it runs Prime95 64bit v25.8 build4 for 12h Small FFTs with no error, but fails Large FFTs just after about 2h and IBT on around the seventh loop. Here're my settings:

This thread is HUGE!!!
I finally ordered a P45 (P5Q-Deluxe) to see if I can get my quad (Q9550 E0 ES) higher than on my current board (P5K-Premium). Grabbed an open-box off NewEgg for $124 shipped. I also have 4x1GB Ballistx D9's.
Can anyone recommend the best BIOS for this setup?
Thanks!
Not sure on the 4x1 balistix but I suggest bios 1406 from Asus.Quote:

Hey Martin v.r I have a Q6700 too, what's your VID?
Also, could you share your P5Q DLX settings with me? I've been having occasional BSOD and I'm pretty sure they're not because of low vcore, there must be something else happening here.

So I satisfied myself with 3400 at the time, with 1.39v. But now with the P5Q DLX it doesn't want that many volts. I'm currently with 1.31825 set in BIOS at it is OCCT 15min stable, which is enough for me. The BSOD's must be coming from somewhere else - maybe because I switched the X38 for the DLX without reinstalling Vista 64 (yeah, maybe).
anyway, very soon I'll be cleaning up the box, put in the new backplate for the xigma and throw away the pushpins, and then, well, maybe I'll put windows 7 inside the animal and watch it squirm. Maybe the BSODs will go away. And maybe, just maybe I will try again 450X8 with less than 1.40v. That would be my goal after this.
In any case, currently I have everything voltage related in AUTO except VDIMM (1.80), because this board overvolts and my g.skills don't like too many juice, and vcore. I'm not sure about keying in 1.44 for NB and 1.36 for FSB. Looks like a lot to me... I dunno

Would you recommend a P5Q Deluxe over Maximus I Formula, for Q6600?
I have a Maximus i Formula running Q6600 @ 3,6 for 24/7 for a year now, and all I can say that its a very stable board! My friend asks me, that what would I recommend him now, Maximus Formula or P5Q Deluxe?
Are there any driver problems when I change my board from X38 to P45? The system will be stable, or I need to reinstall it?
reinstall it
Yeah, the DLX for what I could see so far, is a great board for overclocking. I can maintain lower vcores than with my previous X38. It's pretty damn stable, the loadline calibration works great and it's a cheap board!Quote:

I did a board transplant (swapped the X38 for the DLX) because I couldn't spare the time for reinstallation due to work deadlines, and while everything ran smooth in the first two weeks, now I'm having occasional BSODs, probably due to USB driver conflicts. You should definitely resinstall everything to stay safe.
Hello, i have big trouble overclocking the ram memory in this board. i can only get the ram stable at 1082 mhz and any higher gives error in memtest. the board and cpu is stable at fsb 450.
the setup is:

Sorry if this has been answered here before, but I'm trying to find a good quality memory kit(s) that will go up to 8 Gb on this board, but not cripple my OC. Anybody try this? If so, any recommendations?
My friend runs 2 sets of OCZ Reaper 2x2GB DDR1066. It runs fine with 8GB and he's running it at 1066 but has not tried to push it yet, he just set 2.14V and its been rock stable. (everthing else is OC'd just not the ram, so it will at least hit that minimum.Quote:

Thanks for the recommendation...I've looked on Newegg, and the price is pretty good too.
As far as your question goes, yes, I run CME switched to performance mode on my system...otherwise, it's unstable. So you should certainly give that a try. Of course, nobody has any idea what CME is, but for some configurations, that's the difference stable and unstable rig.
I run cme in performance mode, but just to stretch the last bit of stability out of my setup. Optimized was fine for me up to 480fsb. I would try the official 1406, Ket's bios are good but its still worth a try. I'd also suggest running Memtest in windows with 4 instances to rule out the ram.Quote:

I garnered these settings from here in this thread, a post by a OCZ Rep., and a thread off a german OCing forum all relating to this board.
Oh and I did run a bootable memtest before changing all this and it did a full pass with both sticks 0 errors. Also tried Prime95 small fft and a run at large fft and no errors....we'll soon see if I am unable to use both stick of this ram kit, or if the yellow slots were bad juju...sorry for the long post.

Try to set Lower FSB first using this settings and later you can try rising FSB and Voltages to see where it is stable.

Remeber also that the Mobo Overvoltes a little bit, i measured with a tester and the voltages are quiet similar like in this picture.

Hi!
What should i do to lower PL level? Now i have PL 10 with 445x9 1.256v cpu-z, 890mhz RAM 1.84v in BIOS, 5-5-5-15 timings. I tried to rise vram but it hasn't helped, enabling Pull Ins also hasn't helped. :(
I used to find my Rock Solid first and later i lowered the PL from 10 downwards still the system does no more boot, for example if you reach PL 7 and the system does not boot set to 8 and boot.Quote:

Could someone help me with this? I got my system to run at 3.8ghz for 7 hours prime stable (pic), but for some reason at those settings my system froze twice and even BSoD'd. I reduced it to 450FSB for now, and its perfectly fine. My ram is rated for DDR2 1066, so that shouldn't be a problem. Should I have tried prime for longer?
I can list full specs later, not at home right now
Just this little advice for you - try running IBT before Prime.Quote:

I bet posting your BIOS template would be helpful too and might be easier with that than stress-testing everything.
i found my rock solid on 4005mhz, but i cant lower PL even to 9. I think something is holding its back, i cant lower PL with 3600mhz, cant lower with 4005 and also can't lower at ~4500mhz. It's always at 10. :confused:Quote:

I don't know if this is a noob question, but I just got a new system a couple of months ago P5Q-Deluxe, Q9550 etc. Just to clarify I didn't build it myself. The question I want to ask is in regards to the CPU fan. I think it was last week I noticed that the CPU fan wasn't spinning. I seem to remember it stopped running shortly after the system was in sleep mode. It's a Noctua 1300rpm fan on a TRUE.
The place I bought it from said this is normal and to go into the Bios and disable Q-Fan. Well I went into the Bios and Q-Fan is not enabled, it's already disabled. I tried unplugging the fan and noticed some dust on it so I blew it out and plugged it back in and on bootup it started working, then again today I noticed it stopped spinning.
Is there some other setting like Q-Fan I need to disable? I just want the fan to run at full speed all the time. If there is no other setting to try what should I do? Should I try a different fan or could the CPU fan header in the MB be faulty? It's plugged directly into the CPU fan header with the 3 pin plug.
Could it be a Bios problem? The MB is still running 0704.
Anyone got any idea?
I'm not too keen leaving the Q9550 passive cooled.
OK if no one else replied so far, ill give it a try:Quote:
Originally Posted by Ice009

I dont have any straight answer to your question but if i were you, i would:
1. plug it into one of the chassis fan connectors
2. just change the fan, see if its working properly...
And i would update the BIOS - thats for sure.
Perhaps ppl, who actually use/used Noctua as a CPU fan on that mobo can comment on this1 and give you better answers/advices.
Does this happen only in sleep mode ? If so you have nothing to worry about
sounds like theres nothing wrong with the fan/mb,I also usea noctua to cool my cpu and in sleep mode all fans shut down hence "sleep mode" :)Quote:
I tried unplugging the fan and noticed some dust on it so I blew it out and plugged it back in and on bootup it started working, then again today I noticed it stopped spinning.
Nope like I said I noticed it stopped spinning last week a little while after coming out of sleep mode. What I did then was turn the computer off a couple of times and it started working again by itself. Yesterday I tried doing the same thing, but it didn't work so I took the fan out gave it a clean uplugged it and plugged it back in and it started working again, then again was I was browsing the net it stopped spinning again.Quote:

I'll try your suggestions thank you. I just hope it's not the MB that is screwed.Quote:

I seriously doubt its the mobo. More like something with the fan or possibly some software.
Just try one of those 3-pin connectors 1st, see if that helps.
Two latest BIOSes are OK for most people in this thread.
Theres alot of info about different BIOSes in here too but I think its safe for you to go with the newest (1702) one...
And yes you reset all your settings to defaults when updating BIOS.
Oh and update using EZ flash from bios/dos. Dont use windows software.
So, I'm finding more and more that I can prime and not get any errors but loading up a game will cause a restart within a couple minutes or less
I tried:
400x9
vcore: 1.275
PLL: 1.5
VTT: 1.2
NB: 1.3
GLT's: AUTO
Temps are approx. 47C under Prime load (WC'd)
margin ench: Performance
Static Read: Disable
DRAM Trainign: Disable
Twister: Ligther
Ram is running below stock speed rating.
I can run hyperpi 32M 4 threads, small fft prime, etc. And get no stability issues. However 3d is completely unstable, 1.30 Vcore didn't not work either.
I'm back at 423x9 @1.35V and it will do everything except SMP folding@home for the most part, but I feel like I shoudln't need this much voltage.
Anyone have any ideas when your Prime Stable, but 3d causes restart. Am I needing more PLL or VTT? I'm coming from a Presler rig so the Quad overclocking thing is seeming a bit tedious.
wel, got the board about almost 2 weeks now, got my E6750 easily back to 3.64Ghz@1.464v, but, the only problem, while I was doing fsb testing, unable to boot 500FSB (@multi of 6), maybe my ram, because it's a weird combination, 6gb, 2x1gb, 2x2gb , same corsair sets, just other size, but it worked fine on my Gigabyte EX38-DS5 and 1000mhz for the pc6400 was easily bootable, but fell out after half an hour, but I want to push this cpu further dan it's lame 3.64ghz, would be lovely 3.7-3.75ghz 24/7
Pulled this E6750 allready to 3.92Ghz with a P5K Deluxe @1.6v ^^
I can tell you this: I havent tried my E8600 any higher than 4.5GHz but its stable in small FFT until then too.Quote:

So maybe try prime blend or IBT to see if your RAM is OK. If that passes i would try furmark stability test since your 3d crashes might be caused by gfx card (driver, maybe the PSU?)
Since I got my hands on the p5q deluxe I have been having a random reoccuring problem...the system will sometimes just shut down (like the power cord was pulled out) regardless of system load...
replaced ram mushkin xp2 8000 2x2gb with gskill 8500 2x2gb same thing happens so ok its not the ram....
replaced with another p5q deluxe this time the new revision a3....worked fine for a week then again same problem...
the sytem is stable prime 7 hours occt 1hour and ibt 10 passes also ran memtest 120 % but yet the pc just randomly shuts off once in a while regardless of load... never had a bsod
any help would be appreciated :)
how about ur psu?
Shtrafenhoofen:
Your mobo was replaced, your RAM was replaced. Your CPU seems OK. Time for PSU? :D
No seriously check with different PSU IMO.
Or your custom CPU fan turns itself off randomly (like the Noctua couple of posts up) and causes overheating which leads to power down (that would be more unusual than a PSU issue)
Either that or issue with electricity in your house/wall socket - i know, sounds stupid :x
Edit: jdmR beat me to it ;)
what capacity of psu do you have and what kind?
I have a bfg es800 that was tested and all the rails were ok
there are no problems with temps in the system mb has not been past 35 c and cpu max at 53 during orthos 7 hours test all fans work when they should
do you have another psu that u can try out? also can u post ur bios settings
I dont have another psu to try but heres the bios setting...thanks

And the random power-down's happen without OC as well?
I want to buy A-DATA 2x2GB DDRII Over Clock Extreme Edition DDR2 1066+ RAM's and want to know, it will work properly on P5Q Deluxe?
Thanks.
Try your pcie frequency at 100. Which bios version?Quote:

tried pci 100 and 101 no joy
Anyone know if it's possible to change the mode of the silicon image SATA controller to AHCI?
I know it has been discuss, but I don't find it.
I am on VistaX64 and I want ot use de on-board sound card, but I does not work quiet well. Using latest drivers from Asus site it has ,,glitches'' in the sound. Pretty often Winamp crashes.
Is there a better driver ?
Sure the CPU is not overheating and shutting down for safety? That's usually just a poorly mounted heatsink.Quote:

Thanks.
I'm on Vista x64 SP1 and have no problems with the sound whatsoever.Quote:

Anyone care to give me some base settings to try first to try to hit that? I would REALLY appreciate that.
I'd like to start first with the stock multiplier (9.5), fsb to 420 and see if I can hit the 4 gig mark from there. I'm OK with a 1/1 fsb/memory ratio. If I can hit the 4 gigs with that, then later I might then start trying to lower the multiplier and upping the fsb and memory (and still have that same cpu speed).
4Gigs with your cpu and this Mobo will not be a problem i think and 500x8 also not a problem if the cpu want to run at this FSB.Quote:

omiez, i think you should test with Orthos Blend, because Linpack isn't testing ram good. It's better for cpu stability testing, not RAM.
No problem i tested the system with Orthos Blend Test too and it was stable.Quote:

these are my settings. im currently at 1.312 vcore for the processor. its an e8400. cpu seems stable with small fft's but blend fails after 10 mins. can anyone help me with my settings?
I am going to be upgrading to a q9650 very soon and I should be getting my other 2x2gb kit back from an rma around the same time. I plan on running the q9650 at 475-500x9 (hopefully) with the ram (4x2gb) at 1:1 ratio for 24/7 usage. What voltage should I be feeding the northbridge at those settings?
I have found the exact opposite to be true. I have found prime to be much better, faster at finding fsb errors than IBT and yes I have used a few versions of IBT on a couple of different P45s. I do find IBT to be the best program to find memory and northbridge errors, though.Quote:

At 1.26 my motherboard temp tops out at 30c,it's the middle of winter here, with my e8400 at 440x9 and a 2x2gb kit so it's not being stressed as hard either. I also replaced the TIM with MX-2 so Im hoping that might help as well.Quote:

Well I experienced same beahviour wiht my Gskill PC8000PQ kit, I popped in the Mushkin redline kit and they didn't have that erratic behaviour...
I would try for both of you to mess a bit with the NB gtl ref voltage... setting will depend on board/ram etc... eg set at 0.630 and test then go to 0.650 etc
I reinstall Vistax64 and put the audio drivers, same problem with buggy sound. I than installed an Audigy SE, disabled the on-board sound and there was no improvements. Do you think that the MB is gone, or what the heck is going on ?

Thanks a million thats jut what I'll do. Also thank you for holding this thread together, it's a public service that you're doing here. :up:
Edit: I can't use it because of the blue leds. :(
more into X58 now mate and struggling with the EP45T UD3P, but we try to stay in touch here... sadly I can't test anything anymore as I don't have no more P5Q's here...
Im thinking about it myself, but you are the man for sharing your knowlage here. Helps out alot of people.Quote:

nope system crashed
I'm building a P5Q Deluxe system now with the TRUE Black heatsink.. Noticed that if I orientate the heatsink such that the fan attached on the heatsink blows towards the rear exhaust, the edge of the heatsink comes in contact with the northbridge heatsink.
Wonder if I should jsut go ahead, or change the orientation such that the fan on the heatsink blows towards the top of the case? Or is there something wrong with my mounting? :shrug:
Try the same settings but with an 7x multi, that will show if its a ram/FSB/NB issue or cpu clock issue.Quote:

I am having the strangest of issues with this board! I wonder if someone can help me with it?? Basically in all stress tests my PC is totally stable with the config in my sig. However, I am having issues whereby i get a total reboot during boot. Its like the hard drive just cuts off and then the machine reboots with no BSOD. No change of settings has been able to resolve this random but frequent reboot during boot issue (except when not overclocked)
Anyway, I have realised that by having another hard drive connected via the external eSata plate, then the issue goes away. The hard drive is just an internal Maxtor 6V080E0 80gb connected via the external plate and is lying on the floor.
Now im wondering if this is a hard drive issue, or whether it is an 'earthing' issue?? I have three Samsung F1 drives, maybe these could be the problem and I need to have a Maxtor hard drive plugged in as well for the system to boot OK? Or I was thinking that maybe by having the Maxtor on the floor outside my case, it is providing an 'earth' to the PC, and I have earthing problems inside my case? What do you guys think? Can anyone shed a bit of light on this?
Is anyone running this board with only Samsung F1 drives?
I have removed the heatpipe-assembly from my P5Q Deluxe, and installed waterblocks on the NB and MOSFETs. I think I don't need to watercool the southbridge, thus I decided to use a passive cooler there...
I tried to mount a Thermalright HR-05 IFX cooler on the SB, but it seems to be incompatible with this mainboard. Although Thermalright states it is compatible :mad: , a capacitor comes in contact with the right side of the heatpipe of this cooler.
What would be your suggestion for a passive cooler solution on the southbridge of a P5Q Deluxe? Did somebody try a Zalman NB-47J on this mobo?
I had 4 die on me from which 2 connected to the P5Q Dlx ( all same manufacture date ) and will never ever buy these again... sequential read errors, freeze probs and corrupt MBR's...reminds me of the bad IBM batches a few decades back It could be one of ya hard drives acting up... Are they the terrabyte variant ?Quote:

Here's a peculiar one for you. I've been running the specs below happily and stable for 6 months or so using the 1307 bios, but a couple of weeks ago my Seasonic PSU packed up, taking my motherboard with it. Since then, I've replaced the mobo with a new one - same model. This came preinstalled with a 14xx bios, which I decided to upgrade to the latest (1703).
Unfortunately, I'm having odd issues with my ram, despite using the same bios settings as before. If I start my machine up cold, I can run memtest for hours on end no problem, as well as ORTHOS (in CPU stress mode). However, if I were to use the machine for a while, play some games etc, the odd app would begin crashing on exit (such as Google Chrome, Left 4 Dead). Rebooting straight into memtest, I'll start to get errors. Now here's where it gets really odd: going into the bios, lowering the ram speeds/timings, upping voltages (such as NB, DRAM), reducing the CPU/motherboard overclock - nothing gets rid of these errors. Could it be heat that's causing the ram to produce errors? I tried taking the sticks out, testing one, then two, then three etc. Doing this produced no errors whatsoever, but then by the time I had all four back in, there were no errors either. Obviously the parts were much cooler at this stage.
Could my RAM be faulty? One other thing - I've attempted to flash my motherboard bios back to an earlier version (using the bios flash tool and the newer afudos), but have been unable to, despite using the necessary /n flags etc.
Here's the settings I'm using (successfully on the older P5Q-E w/1307):-

Just spotted the Koda flash advice. Going to give that a try now :)
Get rid of them bananas mate, quite hard to read through your post : set TRFC to 50 or 55 and set NB voltage to 1.26 to test... but I suspect one of ya dimms is not as fit anymore as before and 1703 bios I never tested as 1406 was more than adequate for me, even 0803 was one of the better biosses for me... also there can be a variety in voltages between the boards so it might require some more or less on some settings...
For the Bios flashback see my above post with Koda's tool !
Using a HR05-IFX there is no other orientation possible, 'cause I have a very long GFX card (a Radeon 4870 X2) with a full cover waterblock on that, and a secondary VGA in the lowest PCI-Ex slot for a third monitor (running in 4x mode, but it doesn't matter).Quote:

Hi guys, just came here to say hello :)
I've got this P5Q Deluxe board and it's been rock solid so far.
Got my C1 Q9550@3,6Ghz 1.250V (59C-64C) without problems.
I am prime-stable at 3,8GHz with 1.31V but the CPU runs too hot for my taste at that speed (71C-75C) so maybe my Zalman CNPS 9700Led needs an upgrade.
I would like to know from someone with the same CPU and cooler what clock/temp they were able to get from their chips.
Good Luck & Have Fun
I am using my 320GB F1 to boot from. None of the hard drives are showing any corruption problems to be honest.Quote:

also it's impossible to comapre coolers unless you use the exact same cpu or heatoutput... some cpu's just run hotter than others
