I won't bother updating unless it has giant improvements over 702. 702 working great for me :)
I have been looking at getting a P5E to go with a E8400 and my OCZ PC2 9200 with either 2 4850's or 2 4870's in crossfire and i would be watercooling both the cpu and gfx cards and i can get this board and the P5Q Deluxe for about the same money so which one do you think i should get ??? even though it is the older chipset i am swaying more towards P5E , opinions please fellow clockers ;) .
Anyone know if they fixed the ddr2 1066 issue ? I'd really like to get my ram working on full speed.
903 tightens sub-timing up instead of auto 5-5-5-15-11-46-8it is now 5-5-5-15-3-46-3 other than that I see no difference. It is harder to be stable at higher clocks so far but i have only had it a few minutes. Higher being 509fsb and on up. I will work with it over the weekend upcoming and see what there is to see.
Brahmzy private me and give me your email addy and I will send it to you.

What are your settings? I get bsod everytime I try to run the ram @1066.
I set everything to auto except the voltage which I upped to 2.1v (rating on my corsair ram) and windows just will not boot.
It passed 8 hours of memtest86... so I just don't trust memtest for stress testing.
Well I have every thing on auto but:
FSB: 333
Vcore: 1.175v
PLL Volts: 1.54
RAM Speed: 1066MHz
RAM Timmings: 5-5-5-15 2T
I leave everything else on auto.
Ok I am running FSB 400*9 with 1.2V on VCore... hrm wonder if it's divider issue.
When doing the pencil mod - what do i do......
Once Located Draw a Line Across The Top *ONLY*!
- 3-5 Pass(s) should Do The Trick To Fix Droop. (More Or Less Strokes May Be Needed)
- Replace Panel & Boot Pc.
- Check Cpu-z for Voltage If It Is Still Under Repeat Steps.
- Run A Stress Program And Check Voltage While Under Load You Do Not Want Voltage Going Past What You Have Manually Set In BIOS.
- If To Much Graphite Is Applied Wipe off with finger and try again.
right - once i've done that.......is the voltage suppose to be above bios set at idle but not at load? Or should the voltage not exceed the bios setting AT ALL? just wanted to check before i went ahead and modded my board
Hey everyone, I was just curious of what BIOS is generally considered the best for a P5E3 Deluxe, currently have mine on 1303. Hardware being used is in my sig. Thanks!
Thoes any one tryed the the new 903 bios?
Thanks Brahmzy i will try it then ;)
I had a system reboot while playing COD4. Never had that with 702 bios.
Playing with BIOS P5E0903, Same voltage I was using for 10x350 with BIOS RF0403. Using a Q6700 with 4x1 Patriot PC9600, need to update below.
I have been experimenting with 903 the last few days.
I have come to like it. When changing clocks on the high end you don't have to hit the reset twice to reboot. This is quite common when you get above
500fsb. that has been pretty much cured now. It has just a little more punch at 500fsb then with the older bios' not much but it's there:up:
I plan on moving to the E8600 before too long and it is nice to know that I have a bios that is ready for it and is worht having.:clap:
Here is some validation and a couple screens of some testing.

As with all other bios updates the one constant is the way this board just loves the G.Skill 6400HZ!!:shocked:
Glad to see you got it loaded up Brahmzy and that you too are happy with it.
