I was thinking more of actual performance, it seemed to lose out to x48 in some reviews and it was put down to early bios.Quote:

At the moment it's slightly slower but in general most reviewers or users find that the perfomance level of the P45 is just trailing P35.. hopefully some new biosses will close the gap... also with X38/48... but this board is fun as it's so easy to setup with some knowledge...
Just got mine installed. Up and running at my 24/7 settings.
Leeghoofd, PL = 7 with 8GB of ram !! That's very nice men.
What's the vNB you'r using ?
Hi!
I 've got a P5Q, but I didnt find the official thread to that type, so I decieded to write here. This BIOS is new for me, I had a p5k-e before, there are similar options, but some new as well. I tried to OC my 8400 wich is stable on 8x500 in p5k-e, but in this mobo I dont even hit the puny 420 fsb with 6x multi:(. It looks like it had a wall on 415, but that's impossibile. What and how should I adjust to reach the max fsb with this mobo? :confused:
1.26V NB just for the 8 gigs, 1.2 works fine with 4Gigs...Quote:

Can you post your bios settings ?
PS: I'm still with the original 05xx bios. Could it be that ?
Try 0702, 0506 is crap!Quote:

What's new on the 0704 for the Dlx one ?
Thx for posting the bios updates. :up:
Some minor things added for the PRO version (AI Tweaker menu):
CPU GTL Voltage Reference : 0.61 /0.63 /0.65 /AUTO
CPU Clock Skew
NB Clock Skew
- No NB GTL Voltage reference added
- Only 1 option for CPU GTL Voltage reference, unlike the 2 ones (0/2 and 1/3) on the P5Q-E and Deluxe.
Thanks for the info Leeghoofd! (8GB of DDR3 wow!)
Hey Guys, I'm wondering if someone can help me out with my IDE Drives problem. I've setup my system and it's running awesome! Running @ Stock for now, plan on OC'ing over the weekend.
I have 3 IDE Drives. 2 DVD Burners & 1 Hard Drive. (I have a SATAII which is my primary OS hard drive). I connected my 2 DVD Burners using the IDE port provided onboard. I have a Silicon RAID Card (PCI) which I installed so I could connect my IDE Hard Drive (Since I cannot install more then 2 IDE drives using the onboard connectors).
Now, no matter what I do - if I connect the IDE Hard Drive using the RAID Card - my PC pauses at this during boot up:
Marvell 88SE61xx Adapter - BIOS Version 1.1.0.L70d
Initializing.
It doesn't budge from there no matter what. As soon as I disconnect my IDE Drive, everything works fine. The RAID Card has all its' drivers installed and shows up as working fine in my device manager.
I personally think it has something to do with JUMPER Settings on the 3 IDE Drives (Master, Slave, Cable Select, etc.). Does anyone know what JUMPER settings I should set the 3 IDE Drives to? Or what else I can do for my IDE Hard Drive to work in the system?
Thanks!!
Thanks :)Quote:

I'm not talking features rich, i'm talking stability,oc'ability and speed.
because to my understandings,what changes are the features and some cooling... am i right or am i wrong?
am just looking for a nice stable board and was wondering if the PRO was good enough...

Thanks.
The blue sticker ? It must , but I didn't try ;)
I think asus moved pcb fabs to china. My rampage formula has pcb made in taiwan. I think it hardly can make a difference.
Check NB temps, I dont think asus little fan solution is very effective. Oh and yea remove that lame sticker :)Quote:

I received my P5Q Dlx few hours ago and will check Tonight ;)
My sticker says Taiwan but in the PCB it says China. :(
RealTelstar, what fan solution?
The mobos from taiwain is better than the mobos made in china??? :confused:
and what is the function of this news options on the bios?

Leeghoofd , I'm about to take the plunge and order the P5Q Deluxe could you tell me if my current memory will work or do I need to upgrade. Current memory is Corsair XMS2 PC6400C4 DDR2, thanks for your help.
Those Corsairs have different revisions, some clocked well above specs some were horrible... so you will have to test yaself mate... if the ram holds ya back Ebay them and buy some PC8000 or 8500 rams... Please flash 0702 or 0704 ( not yet tested here ) bios , most peeps have better ram compatability with the latter biosses...
Good luck keep us posted !!
alright, thanks ...Quote:

Hey Lee I need to update my bios since I don't have a floppy what do you recommend for a bootable CD or can I load from EZflash ??
I put the 0610 bios on a CD but EZ didn't seem to see it
what about WINflash ??
What are people using to read the chipset voltages in Windows?
Just tried the latest Everest and AI Suite and neither can read them.

For more ram performance set AI transaction booster to MANUAL and try 2 settings below the auto setting... eg if auto is 13 try to boot with 11 and run eg Superpi 32M, if all okay set again one lower...
eg I tested with 400FSB and 1003 ram you can expect 7-8 PL, for 425FSB and ram at 850 expect 9-10...
Finally I got my P5Q Deluxe, after changing coolers, and after having few BIG problems (if I have changed ANYTHING in bios there was no boot), no boot with PCI-E over 106mhz,... Finally I got somewhere (stable 3600mhz;(, but I'm still far from my Maximus OC.
Can someone helps me BIOS settings for Q6600? Thank you!
Btw whats all about this China/Taiwan sticker?
Flash to the latest bios 0702 or even 0704 plz if not done already... many users get around 450FSB-500 easily out of their quads with everything on auto besides Vcore and RAM voltage... tweaking starts from thereQuote:

Tighten those performance levels Cob..., try setting NB voltage (1.3 doesn't post) yaself and stock settings is not AUTO or do you mean AUTO settings in bios... these are predermined values by the bios engineers and can be pretty high... set manually one by one... good CPU mate !!!
The voltages aren't on Auto.
For 500x8 PLL is 1.56v, FSB is 1.2v and NB is 1.1v. Only the GTL's and Perf Level are on Auto :)
Can't wait to get my Q9450 into this board.
Perf level set to 10 is as tight as I can go at 500x8 -
http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/9401/500x8spikz1.jpg
You're probably using 1:1 divider then.
Once again with the chipset voltages on their lowest settings (not Auto) -
http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/8720/4257mt2.jpg
I've never been able to run Super Pi over 4050mhz before with this chip.
Yip. My memory won't run over 1040mhz, so 1:1 is all I have at 500mhz.Quote:

Any thoughts on a SLOW POST? It really seems pathetically slow when looking for USB devices.
I'm finding the POST ok, but I'm finding that the loading bar of both x64 XP and x64 Vista pauses for a good 5 seconds when loading.Quote:

1:1 is the lowest you can, as with all Intel chipset boards.Quote:

The Q9450 is going in first thing tomorrow morning.
Good job mate!
keep going for max fsb with stock volts of chipset on this quad! ;)
ugh I can't seem to break over the 475 mhz FSB or 4.1ish on the CPU
I think its my ram the reaper 1066 isn't liking this board and my humble twinX 800 is doing all it can
so Iam RMAing the reaper and putting the TwinX into my sons new e6700 machine :D (oh know anyone who wants an AMD 3800+ system for cheap :) )
so what ram would you recommend for this combo e8400 and p5q dlx ????
495mhz is highest she'll do on stock chipset volts. PLL had to go upto 1.56v for 500mhz and she hit a wall there. Still 15mhz more than P35 and X38 ever got out of her.Quote:

Great man...But the fsb wall of your q6600 its just 500mhz?? I want to put my e6750 to 3.6 or more, and I have not thought about the fsb wall of it :(Quote:

Humm..i understood :D
I can't wait to buy this mobo :p:
What is the highest stable OC anyone has gotten with just air cooling so far? I won't have water up and running for probably a month and I'm just wondering how far I can go until then...
thanks!
edit: q9450 45nm
Very intersting, I want to see 45nm!!!
i cant get my p5q deluxe stable above 550 has anyone else done it with a 8400?
I'm on water but with the voltages I'm using I think it would be possible , using a True with push pull almost certainly . 475 fsb x 8.5 for 4037mhz is where I'm sitting right now and I think there is more left but likely water cooling required .Quote:

There are loads of people breaking 600+FSB but you need high quality ram for that and correct settings to keep it sort of benchstable. But these settings are hardly for daily use...Quote:

Anybody experiencing this problem.
Only bought it yesterday so I'll just RMA.
Apart from that very impressed with the low chipset voltages and high fsb.
Using 704 Bios
Update.
Just had it priming happily in windows. I then asked for a restart from windows. The system restarted and then shutdown. It now refuses to boot. Only way I can get it to reboot is to turn the psu for 10 secs and then it clears the cmos.
Mine would do the same thing if I raised my nb voltage past 1.26v...As a matter of fact it didn't want to be anywhere BUT 1.26v . 1.2v was fine for nb all the way to 3.8ghz but beyond there it wanted and finally accepted a bump to run at 4ghz .
You prolly have some setting not right, or just too low voltage somewhere... I always switch off PSU with a no boot, as indeed sometimes a forced power down doesn't always reset the CMOS... Can you fill in the template plz
P5Q Dlx TEMPLATE Grab here : http://users.pandora.be/OAP/P5QDlx/P5Q%20Dlx.rtf
I think you could be right. I have left settings on Auto for the NB and it pretty much fails after a restart. Just set the NB voltage to 1.2 and it seems to be working fine. Perhaps Auto is pushing the NB voltage above 1.3?Quote:

Has anyone else changed the vcore limit jumper yet? I did it last night for my 4.3ghz run and it booted at over 1.9v on first boot :shocked:

Cob - I see you've lowered the Multi. Can you boot @ 450 X 8?
Yip she boots at 450x8 ok. Just managed 460x6 by upping the PLL to 1.56v. Still early days.
Actually make that 470x6.
I consider the stock chipset voltages to be the lowest setting that isn't Auto. Stock voltage of your memory is 2.1v, and Core Temp will give you the VID (stock voltage) of your CPU.
480 X 8 boot up is not bad to begin with! Pretty good IMO, although needs to go through stability. Thanks on the Stock Voltages info - I'll do the same on my end to begin with.Quote:

I edited that just as you quoted it. It should have said 450x8 and not 480x8.
Saying that I'm now in Windows at 480x6 using the 1.56v PLL.
I'm just trying to find the highest FSB atm because. I'll put her back on the x8 multi when I've done so.
For now I got to 515 SuperPI 1M stable (ALL SETTINGS AUTO ONLY CPU voltage set to), and 505 PRIME 95 stable (same settings) this is on Q6600
Now I have some more questions:
What are max voltages (24/7 and bench) for those settings:
CPU GTL VOLTAGE REFERENCE 0/2
CPU GTL VOLTAGE REFERENCE 1/3
PLL
FSB
NB (i dont know for this mobo)
NB GTL REFERENCE
