hi gurus,

ive been running this oc for a year now and it bsod only once:

today ive decided to give it a bit more juice and see how it performs at 3.8 so i got it stable with fsb 444, ram 1067 and vcore 1.23125, max temps reported by real temp r 66,63,59,59

everest is also showing those same temps but its also showing cpu temp next to those core temps and its a lot lower, like 52 under load, so my question is: how dangerous r these core temps im having and what can i do to lower them, cooler is ocz vendetta 2, ram corsair dominator 8 gb, q9550 @ p5q deluxe

Those temps are fine, especially if thats under prime load.

ive been getting this strange bsod lately:


A fatal hardware error has occurred.

Reported by component: Processor Core
Error Source: Machine Check Exception
Error Type: Bus/Interconnect Error
Processor ID: 0

anyone knows what it is, it started after i rollback'd to my 3.6 OC


update: flashed bios with newest 2301 and reset to default values, wonder if itll happen @ factory defaults

Best BIOS to pass 500 FSB on Q9550 ?

pass 500 with that cpu and mobo? id be happy if i could boot with 472

LOL...especially with that mobo...the worse one i even got for overclock so far...with my previous p5k asus (P35) and my Q9550 i can easily stay 470 fsb(stable)...with this one(same cpu+ram+psu) just i can reach 479 RS!!!

r we talking about the same p5q deluxe mobo dude? coz u said its the worst one for oc so far and then u say u reach 479 unlike the p35 u had before?

this latest bios doesnt let me keep my old 3.6 OC for some reason, it wont even POST

p5q deluxe is capable of a lot more than ive gotten out of her so far, i just need to gather some balls and push it, thinking outside the box is needed lol

It has a drop from 1.38v in bios settings to 1.3v on load vCore without loadline calibration or vdroop. I've not gone further than 3.8Ghz on a q9550 but it was simply vcore which was causing problems. That's 450fsb * 8.5 with 5:6 divider (since it doesn't like 1:1 from various reports and the fact that it warns at stock in the bios that less than 800Mhz ram speed is out of spec).

with my previous P5K/ EPU ( p35) i was stable at 470x8.5...with this one i am stable at 479x8.5...sincerely i was expecting a bit more ...especially considering that its more expensive (almost double than p5k) its 16 phases its P45...etc etc...i've seen lots Gigabyte UD3P (cheaper than p5q dlx) stay at 500 or more fsb... easily

Still one of the best boards made.

how do i make this rig stable at 4 ghz?

my current setup is this:

hey Megatron, this is weird, it wont boot with ur specs but it will boot with these, as u can see all i did was raise fsb to 471, underclocked ram to 943, raised vcore to 1.26875 to boot successfully for a few seconds, typing this from vcore 1.29375 and its stable enough to run firefox and type this, but the temps reach like 57.53.46.45 under 5-15 % load (i call this idle coz im only typing this in firefox and running real temp, some torrents and stuff), whats up with this? the only thing that happens is firefox crashes every now and then, all other specs r the same as my original 3.6 OC, i dont think i can live with these temps coz under 100 % load theyll shoot over 70+ if theyre 57 under load, what do i do to lower cpu temp and keep this clock, is that even possible?

Your GTLs are a bit high, you may want to give the optimized CME a shot, I would give vNB a slight bump, you may have to play with your VTT, and I would start with a PL (performance level) 8. My rig is rock stable now sitting at pl8 but if I switch that to pl10 and don't touch anything else my board won't even post. Four occupied dimms can be rough on this board.

will that lower the temps Baba? coz even if i got this oc stable the cpu would die coz of temps soon lol, is there any way to lower temps and keep the clock?

Please can someone tell me which program I can use to do an OC in windows?
Tried Asus turbo V (it tell that doesn't support this mobo), Asus AI booster (it doesn't install), Asus AI Suite ( it can change only FSB and multipler but there is no option for CPU Voltage), RM clock ( can set P-states but only from 1,18 to 1,25V that is the CPU VID).
I need only multipler and CPUvoltage selection.
Don't tell me to do it through the bios, I already have done this, I know how to overclock but for my purpose I need a software to OC one of my partition so I can keep the other (and all the system at the startup) undervolted.
The OC profiles are too boring, I need always to enter bios and choose the profile...
I haven't found anything in my research, only some programs that set the FSB or nothing more, but I need MULTIPLER and CPU-VOLTAGE.
Nothing usefull?
:)

im gonna try that now, even though ur cpu is able to do a lot more with a lot less vcore, thx

update: firefox keeps crashing, temps around 60 at idle, firefox keeps crashing so i guess this C1 just cant handle 4.0 on air, any other suggestions :welcome:

Probably not, what are you using for a cooler and what types of temps are you seeing? I ran an e8400 at some pretty high temps (close to 80C under linpack load) for a few months and never saw a hint of voltage degradation. These chips are pretty hearty. I would be willing to bet that most people with degradation issues are those people that think that it's OK to run an OC 24/7 with everything set to auto which is a surprising amount of people.

Anyways, when I went to 8GB I found that a custom Prime run set to this where memory to use is your max available ram caused the fastest errors which really helps when tweaking. You'll see what I mean. I hope that it helps you as much as it did me. If you can run small fft fine then your cpu is in the ballpark but need to worry about the MCH.

im using OCZ Vendetta 2 and temps r like 60 at idle for core0, ur absolutely right about the Auto values, ppl dont have a clue about this board overvolting :rofl:

Have there been done more or less recent testings with measured voltages on [Auto] or minimum values?
Is overvolting problem on [Auto] is BIOS related and been fixed or VRM itself? And someone here measured vSB & vPCIE on [Auto] or other?

Hi Guys long time no post lol I decided to share my OC as I still have my P5Q Dlx and I love it by the way!! Still on 2201 but ill try the latest see if I can find any mayor differences..

am using a Q9650 on 480 mhz so 4.3... using 1.44 on CPUz so my setting are as follow:

480 X 9

Ram: 961 can't use 1152 not stable even though my ram is 1066 corsair!! Hate corsair ... nyway

timings 6-6-6-18-4

cpu v: 1.45

fsb v 1.40
ram v 2.10
nb v 1.40
nv gtl 0.64
sb v 1.10
pcie sata v 1.50

good luck on the overcloking guys!!

What is max without killing hardware instanly on an 8400 ?

Im at 4.7ghz with 4-4-4-14 timings 1:1 on ballistix some big aircooler i forgot name on and i dont think its stable.
New board, dont know much at all about bios and stuff yet.

hi guys,
i'm without posting for a few months and i need your help.
I read a few pags back, but don't found an answer for my question.
I'm with the 0803 bios, and i want to update it.
What is the best bios to overclock so far ?
my configuration is the sign.
thanks ! :up:

do you have any issues ? then don't update the bios...I liked the 14 series... you will be limited 100% by your rams if they can't do more than 900mhz

i don't have issues. I'm just looking for a better bios for overclocking than 0803. my rams can pass 900mhz. any suggestions for bios ? thx !

nobody ? :D

I have an Asus P5Q Deluxe motherboard with 1406 BIOS. This Bios has the long boot problem. How can I fix this problem without changing my BIOS to 2005? The release notes of Bios 2005 state

I've been running the 1406 bios on my board for eons, never had a problem with optical drives on boot. Maybe try your boot order for the drive in question and if that does not work, try leaving a blank or other non OS cd in the drive?

Kits 12XX series FTW

been ruining 4.3ghz on my 8500 and it's not a E0 :)

I just received asus delux p5q rev.1.03G (bit late I know) and asus hd 5850 directcu. But my PSU chill Innovation CP-700M is not working anymore... piece of sXXt. I just RMA it(how long will it take? I never did a rma before.)
Well UD3-P is nowhere to be found anymore in europe. So cross fingers for me. Last time i did not so bad on maximus formula

Is Kit's bios better than Ket's one ? :p

I've never noticed an improvement with Ket's bios, but some users had better results. Probably due to the enhanced and improved ram table....

Hello

how did you obtained nb & sb temperature under everest?
I haven't got this temperatures qith my P5Q Deluxe.

Hi
40mm fan on NB (to mount it i used buds to clean ears) and good airflow inside cm690+ 14 fans.

Thank you

Hi

I'm having problems with two 2*1GB 9200 kits, Transcend Axe Ram 1200+ (TX1200QLJ-2GK) and my Patriot (PDC22G9600ELK) with my deluxe mobo. The system dont want to boot with them @ 1200mhz even on 1,4V NB i have to put my Corsairs 1066 in order to start system. I run them on system with E8500. Does anyone experience problems with other 9200 kits ? Also cant get more than 570 stable fsb :( (i was using bios by Ket). Can anyone give some advises ? Thanks!

how high is VTT ? usually a no post is either a too low PL or too low VTT...

This morning i boot with my axeram @ 1124
fsb 422
strap 400
PLL on auto (9)
VTT 1,4
VNB 1,4

dunno why but it wants 1,36v+ on NB or i got errors in memtest for fsb over ~410

which test does it fail ?

Both Memtest 4.0 and Memtest86+

at which test in Memtes4.0 does it crap out ? Test 5 , 7 ?

I use free version of Memtest and it fail before reach 5% in Memtest86+ start with errors form test 3 and 4 and i stop it dunno for other tests.

Edit:
I found why the board refuse to post some times with my 9600's :banana: it's because some time when u change memory modules and turn power of board totally OFF after this the board give only 1,8v to dimm (same happens after unsuccessful OC) ;)

p.s. This will not happen if i use LV kits, but mine are not

WOW this fracking(my) mobo is so bad. I can't even OC past 430 after 8h(even on auto) bios 2201 preinstalled. Also i have very low score in vantage only 12k Q9550 HD 5850 everything on stock and fresh system. Is this normal? HAHA 8.5X500 yea right...i will fight with it more, maybe im doing something wrong.

I had major troubles overclocking my q9550. I had load line calibration disabled and needed 1.4v set in bios to get 3.8Ghz. 450x8.5, and ram cant be 1:1 I use 5:6 1081.

How is the 2301 BIOS compared to say 1406 in terms of overclocking and stability? Anyone having problems running Crossfire on 1406 BIOS? I am planning the get another card and was just wondering.

Anyone is having experience yet with this

Usually I run my Q9550@4Ghz with 8GB geil Black dragons PC8500 C6@C5 (so 8*472mhz) @2.24v and a 333mhz nb to fsbstrap
recently I got 4GB Crucial Ballistix Tracer single sided PC8500 C5@2.0, so today I tested these and I had problems with booting, 420mhz, and any further it didn't want to boot at all -_- (4x1GB stix)

I find myself in need of a COM1 cable/faceplate (10-pin to DB9) adapter for this board (I guess any recent ASUS MB would use the same part).

Anyone here have one they'd sell me for a few bucks? (ebay/paypal)

Never mind. I found one at Puget Systems.

im using the 2301 bios - and have to say its the best so far - i've used about 3 different bios' and this is stable and no fsb bugs yet

can someone quickly tell me what is the lowest PL level possible
running 600fsb using 333strap 1:1 ddr2-1200?i havent used this board
for quite some time and i think i remember pl10?but will it work at 600fsb?
thanks

I used to run my Q9400 at 486fsb at PL8 I guess it all depends on the board itself and a bit of luck, bios version helps too. I run 1406 and have for eons.

thanks:up:
if anyone has a dead P5Q-Deluxe and want to get rid of it shoot me a PM

There are new win7 PCI-E network drivers, v11.27.1.3, at the http://www.marvell.com/support.html site, just put in 88E8056 in the marvell search bar.

Thanks

anybody experienced constant cold boot issues with this board and been able to solve it?

GMX - i have cold boot issues - it turns on, then off, then on and stays on!! it's done that since ive had it!! even on stock clocks!

anyone give me guildlines as to what are safe voltages for vFSB and vNB on this mobo??? i'm running a quad - w/ 1.28vNB and 1.28vFSB but want to go further than 4.3Ghz - its stock air cooled BTW

You'll probably have to water-cool your CPU for stable operation over 4.3GHz.

Is that only at the first boot ? Is the power unplugged before the first boot ?

If so, it's no cold boot issue, it's strap setting stuff, typical Intel P chipset behaviour...

That's not cold boot. It's normal operation.

I'm having issues in gaming with my system currently?

What should I change? I get video issues with my ATI 4850 and now my GTX 460

It will go blank and crash out of the game. It's not the video card driver or the video cards, all cards are doing it for me. I have test 4 different cards.

I have a E8500 with A C0 @ 4ghz

I have a nice water custom system with 3x E fans and a 3x Swift Rad and a Swift block. I just changed the water MCP655 Liquid

My teams never go over 45 c and idle about 30ish

I'm trying to push around 4.0ghz or 4.2 stable? What should I change?

I have a P5QE
With DDR 2 PC 8500

it's prolly your motherboard. I had to RMA 3 P45s till now , all with erratic PCI-E behaviour. All 3 boards were rock stable in 2D, but in 3D I got artifacts, lockups,etc... tried swapping CPIU's , RAMS, PSU's and GPU... it were the boards :(

oh great, Looks like a i7 is in my near by future. IT does only happen in 3d games when I come to think about it

I'm going to go to stock settings on my CPU to make sure today

Change PSU.

I have a antec 650 neo power. I love it, I wouldn't change it

That sounds like PSU problem, try some other PSU, just to make sure...

It could even be the video cable. I had one where a 'color' would go out. Bad pin on the connector.
Might try putting the PCIE freq to 99.
Try PCIE Spread Spectrum to ON.

Do those two at different times to see if any of them might help. That would truly suck if it's the MB.

^^ Will do

Think changing the PCIE slot would help

I'm stable, but in games I get that issue

Even at stock Clocks.

I'll give that a shot today thanks tho :)

WOW!

Slightly behind the curve here - but what a great motherboards & what a great thread.

This threads been like a time machine! Its enabled me to relive the experiences of the early P5Q deluxe pioneers as it happened. I am up to thread page 40ish and loving it!

Currently I am happy with my QX6850 sitting at 3.6 (400*9) and corsair dominator CM2X2048-8500C5D (2*2g kit). PL - 7. What can i say rock solid. I've seen my memory benchs move up considerably in Everest.

I did boot at 3.9Mhz. Even got all the way into world of warcraft before BSOD. I am not too sure I can get 4.0Mhz without a cooler upgrade - Zalman 9700 atm -so maybe low end H2O in needed. Vcore is at 1.35 with LLU lowest I can go, benchs folds and primes fine. Load can touch 70 but around high 60s in Prime. Forget OCCT Linpack.

Only thing that threw me was defaulting to PL-5 in bios for manual. That took a few goes to iron out.

Is there a Bios other than the Asus 2201 that I should use? seems kinda old but it really works for me?

There's 2301 bios.

I'm still having issues with crashes but more in fallout 3, SC 2 is just doing suttering but I will still get the colors going strange, I know it's not the gtx 460 I leave it stock and put the fan at %100

I'm thinking it's the board. When I get some cash i7 is in my future.

i'm cpu and gpu liquid cooled - i'm already @ 4.3Ghz - i just wanted to know "safe" voltages for my mobo - which is stock air cooled. vFSB @ 1.3v now and vNB @ 1.28v. - how much can i raise them safely?

yeah!! it's only at 1st boot - if i turned it off then later on (without unplugging it) turned it back on again it would be fine.

what am i supposed to change to make it work properly on 1st boot? you mean DRAM straps? as i've used pretty much all of them 5:6 and 1:1 i use the most and it does it with both of them.

2301 mate - it's a great bios version - i found i could push my cpu more with it, i had less crashes and i had to use less voltage!

Grishenko - I was happily running 1.36vNB for over a year on my M2F which is P45 and actually has worse NB cooling than the P5Q-D. That was passively cooled too, so you know you can pretty much assume you have an easy year (probably much more than that) of degradation free operation at at least 1.36vNB. As for Vtt, its your cpu thats the limiter here I think, as the current drawn on that circuit is minimal as its just a switching circuit - the board could probably safely supply more than the CPU could safely handle. Probably 1.35 Vtt is where I start getting a bit concerned for the CPU but that is just a personal feeling of mine.

And you should run memtest86 when you do memory timing changes, along with prime95 for system tests. This will help eliminate BSODs and freezes later on.

Quad, can you run rivatuner or something like that, to measure your vid card temps. Set your nvidia drivers to 'default' and 'quality' and see if you get it. You can occasionally get a bad vid card out there. My 260 would sometimes give me the bad colors after awhile.

Okay updated Bios.

Been getting a few bits and pieces together before the big over-clocking push for 4.0Mhz.

Just one question to the veterans - how much should I worry about chipset cooling? The plan is to use a x10 multi and push the FSB to 400. I have in the past stuck a fan on the NB/SB but I can't see where one would go on this board? Will it even be needed? I have the asus supplied fan and a small akasa chipset fan.I just don't know and ofc there's no software monitoring for those temps.

Also if I aim to keep the ram around 800 -1066 speeds should I worry about Ram temps? I have the corsair dom ram plus the older 3 fan ram cooler. But it sits right in front of the CPU cooler and vents warm air into the CPU fan. I've just got no feel for those temps on this board. Ram is running 2.1v atm.

So gear using:-

Coolermaster CM690 Adv
Qx6850 (rock solid atm on 3.6 9*400 with Zalman 9700 1.35vcore all other voltages at minimum values)(rarely see more than 50 deg C in gaming but Linpack pushes to 70 after 30mins/ OCCT linpack goes 80 plus)
10+ fans mixture of 140/120 & couple 80mm
Fan controller
Noctua D14 kit (I am kinda worried about ram over hang - but may swap front 120mm to back of cooler)
Corsair Dom 1066
Seasonic 850 m14D
470 gtx EVGA EE

Personally I think I'll top out around 3.8/3.9Mhz. As I need the temps to be under control as I want a stable overclock for gaming.

My NB is working at 500MHz without any additional fans. NB voltage is at 1.28V.

That's great to hear but wont a quad stress the northbridge more? My last hike to find a stable FSB ended around 430. Admittedly I didnt up the voltages as I was just on a quick tour.

So in theory I needed worry too much about chipset active cooling with 400fsb.

Try changing that last setting cpu margin or something like that. You should be able to get to 470-480MHz.

Banwell just a tip ; never run FSB and rma in sync ( so 1:1) always use a ram divider... this will make it far easier to stabilise and drop the PL

For 400FSB, aim at 1.26Nb, 1.3 max FSB term voltage...

and these boards love auto for strap and co...

Top marks guys - that's some very helpful advice. Will post back findings.

I have done this and my temps never see over 45 c it's a MSI GTX 460 and at the fan at %100 it never see over 39 c

I had the same problem with my ATI 4850 that I'm having with the GTX 460, so I'm leaning to the board. I have tired the different clock speeds on the PCI E bus 99 and 100 and 101 and auto all do the same thing.

Okay had much fun. But i've still got a wall beyond 420 fsb circa 3.9Mhz. I tried upping the NB and Terminal but to no avail. Maybe I need to be more aggressive on terminal as I stopped around 1.34. Anything above 430 * 9 seems to require too much cpu vcore. I went all the way up to 1.475 (temps were still reasonble ~ 67 degrees c) but was just BSD on prime large fets after 4-5 mins.

But I can get 3.8 looking good at vcore under load of 1.376 (about 1.36 in bios with LLC).

Maybe I'll hone the 3.8 overclock and run it for a few days for overall stability. Prime large fets is rock solid around 57 degrees c.

Does anyone know if the current Bios is still over volting chipset on minimum settings? Seems little point reducing them if that's true.

This is where i am at for 3.8 atm:-

Performance Level : Try to lower to 9 or 10 maximum... you are loosing a lot of performance here

FSB term can easily be at 1.3 for 65nm CPU's... go slow, try 1.24-1.26,... and memtest a lot...

Looking at your Vcore you will prolly end up over 1.42 for 4Ghz action. Ditch the ram cooler if it blocks the CPU cooler and maybe try a dual fan setup (push/pull)

Cheers for the advice. I tried a different strategy today. I used my stable 3.6 (400*9) and upped the multi to *10. I can happily get into windows with 1.425/1.45/ & 1.475 vcore. I can even run super pi 22m and Everest memory benches. But as soon as I run prime 95 small FETs the pc locks up instantly and BSD. I tried giving her 1.5 vcore too but if anything that made it worse at 4.0Mhz. I also dropped the memory down to 800Mhz loosened settings - still same result.

I've decided to try and hone the 3.66Mhz (400*9) for the time being (so some mapping of NB/ Termial/ PLs). I will also run some memtests overnight to rule out any issues.

With this cooler and setup I'd say even 1.5 vcore is not an issue - so anything around 1.45 with (10*400) should be a breeze. The cooler is mounted vertically and exhausting right out of the top of the case. Both noctua fans are in recommended fashion, plus the roof vent has a 140mm too! I got some IC diamond in the coming in the post too it will to replace the mx-2 I am using atm.

Fired up my P5D dlx today. At first it was a total struggle to get it over 430fsb but after som testing it turned out to give 597fsb so tomorow im gonna cool the e84 and a bunch of celerons with SS :)

update guys : got 485Mhz FSB stable 20 loops of Linx - only trouble - it's not stable in games - they judder and crash.

that was using 1.34vNB and 1.34vTT - so gonna boost vNB to 1.4v and try again - got my quad to 4.365Ghz! 490Mhz is not far off - i recon she can do it!

Nice result there Grishenko.. most topped at 475ish region with quads... I got a P5K premium inbound (fleabay), gonna build me a rig again based at my parents with my good QX9650...

Just looked at my notes as to the Q9400 I used to run, I ran 1.36v on the NB and 1.32v VTT at 485 daily. Also ran the cpu Skew at Dealy 100 and NB Skew at Delay 200. Just throwing that out there. Exceptional job on that OC!

Are there any newer drivers than the ones on the asus site? Generic ones, not asus specific?

Hi,

I've had a 3.2 OC on my Q6600 for a long while now which runs very stable.
I've recently moved from air to water using the Corsair H50 and wanted to push it to 3.6 - 3.8 or more if safe.

If anyone can advise with some settings, it would be great to hear from you. (thanks)

Anyone wanting a different BIOS for this board (somebody asked in here somewhere) See sig.

hi guys,
i think 2 years ago somebody recognized, that the smallest voltage (e.g. Vnb) is similar to AUTO.
is that fixed or do i still have insane voltages if i choose the smallest voltage?


regards
