Oops, my mistake. I must have been thinking of the Maximus II Formula or something. How I confused them is another story. :rolleyes:
I got this board on Thursday from Newegg so far I really like it. It is a Rev A3 board.This is where I am at for a 24/7 set up just wondering if all the voltages are ok for this?

Voltages are just fine, you even got lot of headroom to go if you want :up:
You could try loadline calibration enabled.
can you tell me how did you end use those? Does it give somekind of help for overclocking :eek: :confused:Quote:
CPU Clock Skew : Delay 400ps
NB Clock Skew : Delay 200ps
I read on another post that 400 and 200 worked well so that is what I went with. Not sure what they do. I just wanted to do 500 to 520 without to much trouble and this board seems to be able to do that. I had the loadline calibration enabled but it booted slower and just didnt feel right. I sent a GIGABYTE GA-EP45-UD3P back to newegg. If you are after max fsb then the Gigabyte would be a great choice I had it up to 590mhz but it takes a lot more voltage to make it run stable at 500mhz than the Asus. The Gigabyte just didnt seem to work as well for me. The Asus is easy to work with.
That's kind of funny, I needed less vcore to push my q9450 to 4ghz on my gigabyte ep45-ds3r than my p5q-e. I would have thought the UD3P to be even better but each board is different anyway I guess.
carepolice: clock skew basics. they can help push the limits of your hardware but there is a lot of trial & error involved. They were a bigger help on my ep45-ds3r than my p5q-e. I can reach 500fsb with all skews on Auto on my p5q-e. I think I spent too much time them relative to the pay-off. I get the impression that they're most useful for extreme fsb overclocks, e.g. 600+.
got mine a couple of weeks ago, and I have it pretty nice where I want it for 24/7 use, but would like to get it a little faster while maintaining lower Voltages and Temps...any help appreciated:

STOP USING AUTO PLZ FOR THE FOLLOWING SETTINGS !!! UNLESS YOU HAVE VERIFIED WITH A DIGITAL MULTIMETER THAT YOUR BOARD DOES NOT OVERVOLT LIKE MOST E AND DLX BOARDS....
CPU PLL Voltage: Auto --> Try 1.56
FSB Termination Voltage: Auto --> TRY 1.22
and try to go lower on them... though do NOT use the lowest settings possible
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.5 THESE OVERVOLT AS MUCH AS AUTO
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.1 THESE OVERVOLT AS MUCH AS AUTO
Here is a 24 hour Orthos run at 505 mhz.
Here is a 24 hour Orthos run at 505 mhz.
so which numbers to use then? 1.26/1.22 or 1.5/1.1 ( I assume the former)Quote:

ssabripo: I would drop your performance level to 8. You might need to increase NB voltage a tiny bit or run your memory at 5-5-5-12 or 5-5-5-15 but you should see better performance. Do some benchmarks though, don't take my word for it since I don't know what you do with your machine.
I'm doing about 11.5secs on 1M superPi, so it's not too bad.Quote:

Yeah sorry my errorQuote:

My board gets in this afternoon. Excited!
NB the need for extra cooling be better, and hold it over more?
Well here is as high as I can get into windows on my board. Testing at 520mhz by 8 for 24/7.
P45 + Q6600, the best monitor the temperature?
CoreTemp or RealTemp?
http://img84.imageshack.us/img84/5158/corerealxt3.jpg
Not sure I have both. I set up Real Temp per the instructions and have a -2.0 in idle calibration. Core Temp checks about 3 C hotter with no offset.
Think the latest release by intel for the TJcasemax specs was 95°C for Q6600 and not 100°C as we always presumed... so for me realtemp... which cooler mate ?
Hi guys,
Those of you with rev A3, do you know the first 2 digits of serial number (ie. 86MXXXX...)?
I wonder if A3 P5Q-Es are all produced in August 2008.
then the RealTemp is the most right?Quote:

My revision 1.01g P5Q-E with 'A2' revision chipset sucked big-time!
However, I have a pair of A3's now and they are both working perfectly :up:
My 'rig time' has been a bit limited lately, but thus far have the E7200@3.8GHz/475fsb/ddr2-1140 on 5:6 with CPU PLL at 1.52, 1.22VTT, and NB at 1.22v as well. I can probably run the NB at or below 1.20v with more GTL tweaking (at 0.580 now for NB ref). Currently running 5-5-5-18 at PL-8.
The E8400 is at 4.005GHz/445fsb/ddr2-1068 at 5-5-5-15 PL-9 (I think, might be 8). CPU PLL 1.52, 1.16VTT, NBv 1.18 as I'm still playing with FSB/RAM.
Seems to be XP64 likes more NBv/slightly lower NB GTL ref than XP32 on the dual-boot E7200 rig. That's all for now :)
thehinge1,
would you let me know the revision of your A3 boards?
All boards in my area are rev. 1.01G.
Could you take apicture of the sticker on the outside of the box plz liek the one below plz
http://users.telenet.be/OAP/P5QDlx/DSC00717.JPG
Thanks Leeghoofd.
The shop won't be happy with me taking pictures in store :p:
Instead, I have copied down the serial number.
Serial Number: 86M0AC692351
Same Model #: 90-MIB4G0-G0EAY00Z
I think 86 means manufactured in 2008 June.
P45 A3 production start in July so it cannot be A3.
Maybe wait longer?
Model (of piccie) I got was already with 0803 bios and the smaller caps at the first PCI-E slot (will resize picture later this evening still at work) we need to figure out these codes to determine which chipset rev is on it
Here is a picture of A3 rev. board it came with 1201 bios.
Thanks cchilb.
I think the first 2 digits indeed represent the manufacture date. first 8 for 2008 and second for August. So A3 boards would have serial greater or equal to 88.
Both boards are ASUS revision '1.01g' just like the 'less-than-consistent' (and despised) first board. The shipping bios on both boards is 1201 dated 08/05/2008 as they POST so they were at least made after that date, so they quite possibly were made in August supported the year/month theory.
cchilb - you get your board from the egg? Looks like we are 2 digits apart.
Note: 9mm 124gr.+P GDHP in photo is in case I ever see my first P5Q-E again, that sucker is toast!

It has a lot of difference A2 to A3?
mine is A2
I have had both A2 P5Q-E and A2 Biostar TPower I45, my A3 P5QE's are much better in terms of running much lower voltages in BIOS setting at the same FSB I ran on the A2's. My A2 'E' was a dud no matter what BIOS I tried, and the I45 was ok but the voltage granularity on Vcore (among other weird BIOS limitations including last mfr update on 7/10/08) did it in for me when I got the E0 8400.
There are some great A2's out there, I just didn't get one.
From what I have read the A3's from various manufacturers are hitting some really high FSB and doing it on reasonable voltages, seeming to be in line with what I have experienced. If you are happy with yer A2 I'd stand pat :up:
If anyone has some great info on the A3 revision please do chime in!

Any particular reason you do not want to use the LLC function Butcher ? Works pretty fine here 1.256 set in bios, idles at 1.248 and is 1.256 under load on my DLx's , the E load is a tiny bit less...
Hey Leeg, it was causing BSODs for me while running Orthos. When I was overclocking I had LLC on and it would BSOD within minutes, then I turned LLC off ( saw Zeus' post) and without changing any settings, including vcore, suddenly I was OCCT stable one hour. So I've kept it off.
That LLC issue was resolved with 1406 bios on my E board... beforehand indeed it didn't function at all...
Okay, thanks. Will update the BIOS again.
I think mine is an a2,86xxxxxx sn.It has been great,i have my 6750 running at 4ghz(500fsb) fine in this board.
How do you find out what rev the chipset is btw?
Wich bios your board came whit?Quote:

has anyone experienced a need to boost Vcore after a while?
strange, but a couple of days ago my computer became completely unstable after 2 months of running super stable....random restarts often, and a couple of restarts that would end up in non-reboots; had to turn PSU off, and start over.
I bumped Vcore from 1.28750 to 1.29325 and a little better but still rebooted. Then up to 1.3000v, and almost good but had two more reboots. Up to 1.3250 and now it is stable again! I didn't want to run that high of a Vcore, so I went back to FSB = 430 (3.89ghz), and put the Vcore down to 1.2835 and now it is running perfectly fine.
anyone notice this? the e8400/8500 thread reports several episodes of this on several types of boards.
Sure it's the CPU and not one of ya rams capping out ? Many users required a bit more Vcore after a while but we are not talking going from 1.29 to 1.32, but more from 1.29 to 1.295... Your Vcore requirement seems a bit steep... did you update the bios or changed any other values ?
no..nothing changed. It just one day started rebooting like crazy.Quote:

oh well, I'm running 3.9ghz @1.28 pretty stable, so I'm gonna try that for a while...I don't want to run 1.325 to be able to run 4.01 ghz again; not worth it in my opinion. :confused:
PLL is not high?
comment that the few PLL ends with the CPU
I had a second p5q-e crap out on me last week, it was a RMA replacement "newer version" board, 88M0A something.
I was just watching highlights on nfl.com, computer instantly shut down, restarted, but would not post ever again, although it would power up. I tried replacing the mobo with a p5q deluxe and everything is working fine again. I have no idea what the heck happened to the board, it was just like instant death.
crap...looks like the same thing is happening to me!!:mad:Quote:

btw, how do I tell if the replacement board is A2 or A3?
you might be able to determine based on the manufacturing date. normally i'd just fire up cpu-z, but in your case that's not going to work. there's certainly evidence on the board itself if you know where to look. i'd check near the model #.
Hey guys. So it's been a while since I've been back on here... My Q6600 on a P5Q-E (m1402 bios) was running quite well for a while, but since getting back from vacation in October I've started to notice some random crashing and BSOD (Vista Ultimate x64). So I re-ran Prime95 and was shocked to see core 4 fail after 27 mins. A couple months ago I ran it for 18 hours and there were no probs... Real Temp reports the vcore reaches 66°C under P95. However I've also been running IntelBurn Test and I can do 25 passes under max mem no prob (temps reach 78°C). I'm wondering which of my bios settings I should try changing:

Just up Vcore a bit Wongnong 1.325 to try or a bit higher, your CPU is burned in and many needed a slight bump in Vcore to regain stability
after 8 months of OCing on my chip (and many bios revs) it still hasnt needed more vcore, but it did need a GTL adjustment. i think that might have more todo with my PSU tho and not the CPU itself.
I had to increase my vcore just one notch to gain stability, after 2 month (or its just VISTA that needed increase, i was using Windows XP before)
hmmm, I upped my VCore a couple notches (last one was 1.33750) but I still get P95 failure within 25 mins. Wonder if it's my DDR2-1066 that can't take the mild overclock of DDR2-1080. I'll either try upping VDimm a bit, or clock down to 8x400 so I'm running at DDR2-1066.
so strange.
so I just received my replacement board, and it is an A3 rev. Same exact settings as before, at 1.283 and it is stable!!! :)
I'm currently running 456x9 (4.1ghz) at 1.293v, and all is perfect. I guess I'll stick with this.
Great Ssabripo, can you post a picture of the box like in post 528... so to determine in the shops which one has got a new NB rev
I got my board back from RMA, the problem is still there. I don't see anything on my monitor, but everything powers up. I bought a p5q-deluxe to hold me over during the RMA, everything works fine. What the heck!Quote:

Hello Everyone,
I have been reading the forum and would like to get some detail instruction on how to flash the bios.
Here is my spec for the computer parts I have order and its just arrive this morning.
This is going to be the first OC for me and I dont understand all the bios setting. Hoping someone could give me a bit of advise. I am not into maxing out all the hardware, but just want to OC to 3.8 - 4.0Mhz stable.

Well if you think that 4Ghz is normal I would suggest you to rethink ya strategy... as 470FSB is not a just put in the bios settings of the template and let her rip... Plz read up on some Oc'ing techniques and run the rig first at stock... see how ya cooler performs, what max FSB you can get, determine the max speed of ya ram...
I just want to avoid you comig gback in here and start to flame that the mobo or other parts are/is crap, as it could also be you being the weakest link...

it's at 45 degrees and seems to be the limit. i cool the cpu with a swiftech h20-200 compact. keeps it nice and cool but leaves the NB with little airflow.

oh, and it's a rev 1 board but with a rev A3 chipset
it's running at 450x8 for 3.6ghz now, loading all cores with boinc 24/7
The guy I bought my E8400 from reached this on his P5Q-E
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=380746
645,92 MHz...
on quad 500FSB +/- 10 is wall, atleast on my situation
I would contact Chrisch, just to ask which settings he was running for that 1.2 Vcore 4ghz shot (namely FSB term, CPU PLL, GTL's) I hope for you he recalls them... Chrisch is a madman and a master tweaker, he get's a kick out of high FSB and was a pleasure to work with when we started to test alpha biosses for these boards... I'm pretty sure he will reply you asap...Quote:

Haha, so you didn't know it was him when we were talking in my other thread about my CPU?Quote:

@Ket: it hasn't anything to do with your BIOSes, even though the 0704-version you modded works very good on my P5Q-E, but I allready had these problems for a few weeks now, but I had no real time to check what's wrong there...
Because it coincides with the release of a beta or final from Asus ? and people want to see what has changed for better or worse ?Quote:

I'm testing 1.22V FSB Termination Voltage now, reduced DRAM Voltage to 2.00V, too, saw some charts where 2.00V in BIOS with Ket's BIOS results in 2.09V measured with DMM, seems like it works so far, 40 minutes of orthos without crash...we'll see if it works or not...:DQuote:

I was just going to sell it but now I'm inquisitive as to whether its an A2 or A3 after reading this.Quote:

how is it connected I don't know :D
Now i see that 645MHz is reachable, I'll try your bios + i have just mounted HR-05 on NB (23c) without fan.
I'll post my new results soon :)

any suggestion is appreciate
OK guys, I have found out at least one of the problems I had: my external HDD (eSATA) was causing a lot of crashes the past days - I think it's because of an driver issue, so WHAT driver do I need for the backside eSATA-port to work correctly???
I could not do over with my e2160 =(
Hi folks,
I thought I would let you know that both of my P45 'A3'rev. boards will run 4x2GB ram at 2.06vdimm/1068DDR2/445fsb/5-5-5-18, and 1.20v on the NB. E8400board has two sets of older style Reaper1066, E7200 has one set 'new style' Reaper1066 and one set of Platinum1066.
E8400@4.005GHz, E7200@3.78GHz
As much as I despised that first A2 board, these are both winners!
I seem to be experiencing the same with the Gigabyte EP45T, A3 rev seems way better but I need way more volts than with the P5Q Dlx ( logic ofcourse )
Anyone can help me out with this one??Quote:

The Asus AI Suite works very well on my P5Q-E...you can download it on Asus' website...Quote:

Question. I always want more off my CPU E8500@ 4.1ghz C0 on water, very stable and fast.
Why do i keep thinking about upgrading to a Q9550 on this board, be able to run 4.0ghz stable. (Anyone running this on this board) I don't see many people hitting 4ghz stable or this board? Would it even be worth it? Or should i just get a E8500 EO and do 4.5ghz? I don't think i will see much improvement anyways.
Or just suck it up, and be happy with what i have, i should upgrade my 4850, waiting for the GTX 295's to come down :)
suck it up and await a new Gfx card, you got enough cpu speed to mess with...why waste anymore money for a minor advantage and maybe be utterly dissapointed ( by eg a bad clocking CPU)... Phenom II of I7 are next...
what voltage settings you running for this bro?Quote:

The older 4x2G Reapers on E8400 board are still at 2.06v/1.20NBv, but E7200 with 'new' 4x2G Reapers are at 2.10v/1.24NBv and it's clocked up a little more to 3.808GHz@448fsb these days - but I imagine that could just be variance between two boards.

1. Fix chassis fan mode can't be saved after resume from S3.
2. Fix display priority is not correct when plugs two PCIE VGA cards.
3. Enhance the compatibility with certain memory.

is it safe to flash it through ASUSUpdate from windows?
no it's not safe, especially not if you overclock because it will flash/ reset the bios and loose the bios settings and then your system will crash, etc. you know the rest
i would use the bios integrated flash option. you can get to it by either pressing F8 during boot or just get in the bios, it's on the next to last tab. EZ Flash
i would also recommand to use a thumb drive instead of a floppy disk. it's faster
Results without LLC wich was giving me headcache :D I will try drop vcore even more

BIOS 1703 KILL my overclock.:mad::mad:
How can I downgrade to BIOS 1406?? EZFlash doesn´t work same AFU306U.exe.
HELP!!!:(
Question, what kind of BIOS are you guys using? I'm starting to believe that 1703 did no good for my rig, since I'm receiving a BSOD with "A clock interrupt was not received on a secondary processor within the allocated time interval" on a daily basis. Weird part though is that my rig is rock solid (Q9550 @ 3.6/1.17v) and temps are 28~56.
Could this be just a random driver problem, or did I screw up my CPU? @@

CPU Margin Enhancement : Compatible has resolved my instabilities with newer bios files. (500fsb Wolfdale)
After I've updated my P5Q-E BIOS to newest version ( 1703 ) with my E7300 i can't get any OC, everything boots up succeful, but when i log on into windows, everything crashes and restarts.
Any Ideas how to fix this ?
Yes, downgrade with asus update toolQuote:
