Can't run in dual channel mode with my Corsair Dominator 8500Ds with bios 107.

best board i've ever owned... i'm really pleased with the overclocking ability. very stable board and it loves my quad.... cant wait for a 45nm now.....
heres a pic
P5E BIOS 0107 (works like a charm, absolutely NO issues) + vdroop mod is a winner combination. This simple mod has rise my stable speed by 100Mhz with the same load voltage. Awesome. It tooks 5 seconds to do it.
do you have a link to the mod?
See page 3 of this same thread.
I just got the P5E too. I have no need for the lcd or the watercooling option, so I decided to save the 50€ or so. I just hope that they keep up with the bioses on this thing as well.
Too bad, but I don't the time to put the thing together today... :/ I've got a Q6600 G0 waiting.
Yeah, the Maximus extra crap is about 60-70€ more here than the P5E on average.
do you just pencil over where the pic has a black mark.... the v mod isnt clear to me. could someone enlighten me so i can do it. thanks in advance... ;)
and @ bigchrome, you do recieve the same sound card as with the maximus... but it isnt a bonafied sound card. its just a codec.
It is more than simple. Open the case, turn off power supply, grab the pencil and few times go over orange highlighted resistor. I just did it with my daughter's HB pencil. Works like charm. Load and idle vcore exactly the same - 1.400 v. In bios set to some 1.4125.
I bought the P5E. Intel heatsink Xeon X3220, 2x 1 gb OCZ 800. I set the FSB to 400, Ram to DDR2-800 and the FSB to 1:1. Dropped the multi to 6 instead of 9.
I can't get the board to adjust the Ram voltage. The selection is fixed on AUTO and can not be changed. I am using bios 203.
Other than that, great motherboard, simple setup. Worked without any hitches.
Just type a value for the ram voltage, hit enter and then you can adjust it with +/-. A really strange feature someone could even call a bug... ;)
Is there no sensor for ramvoltage readout ???
If not , can somebody tell me where i can readit on the board with a multimeter.
Need help with Raid config,
i have 3 drives
1 Raptor 36g that i want my OS on
And 2 250g drives that i want to run in raid0
And all 3 drives are seen when im going to make the aray, i take only the 2 disk that i want and the raptor says non raid disk, so far so good, booted and the aray is there with 465g, but the raptor is also a raid disc and want boot my OS.
Can i not have raid on only 2 disks on sata 2-3 and my raptor in sata0, wery strange this.
P5E
Please HELP ME: :)
How do you turn the CPU & DRAM voltages on this board????
Also when you turn RAID on I cant see the DVDRAM, how come?????
Thank you:clap:
U must give the voltages manual , there where Auto stands.
Just go with the arrow down until u stand on the vcore ( highlights ) then type 1350 , if u give this in after that the voltages is adjustable when u press the + or - key ( never seen anything like this .... )
And also do the vdroop mod , this helps alot !
Man I'm loving my P5E! This things overclocks my Q6600 miles better than the Blood Iron I had for three day before it destroyed itself. Maybe it's something to do with the new Seasonic psu as well, but right now I'm running prime at 3600 (my original target) with around 1,4v (taking the vdroop into account). I need to do the vdroop mod as well.
If you do that mod, you will gain a few Mhz too at the same final voltage :D
I might say something about your avatar, but maybe I just stay quiet... ;)
