ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe discussion

Hi people,

until yesterday my system was getting stable only in a very narrow area of settings. basically the following:

Q9300 C1/M1, 3270 MHz
RAM latencies: 9-9-9-24-10-12-6, 4x1 GB Mushkin XMS3-1600, at roughly 1400 MHz
FSB Clock: 436 MHz
CPU GTL ref 0/2: 0.69x
CPU GTL ref 1/3: 0.67x
NB Voltage: 1.32V
CPU PLL volt: 1.60V
CPU Volt: 1.3250V

Any increase or decrease of the NB voltage caused Prime 95 errors after ten minutes. IntelBurnTest was running stable.
Any change of the GTL references made one of either core pairs unstable. Overall that made me extremely szuspicious, no system should ever be that much on the razor's edge, so I kept trying. IBT was showing me stable results at a far wider range of the above BIOS settings, but this was just too suspicious to not keep trying to improve my settings.

Now, all of a sudden....I tried setting PCI-E clock to 101 MHz since I had seen this to be recommened by Mushkin, OCZ and Corsair.
My system has been running 18 hours by now on PCI-E Clock 101 and NB voltage 1.28V. results?

7 hours 20 min. Prime stable! Using the 64 bit Version 24.14
Intelburntest stable, 20 cycles!

Could it really be that the PCI-E frequency is helping us getting stable?

Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem with this board. On the IDE channel I have two DVD drives the second drive will only work if I change it to PIO mode in windows, which pretty much makes it useless. I have yet to test it another system (will shortly), but I played around with the jumpers and such and didn't have any luck. I was wondering if someone had a similar problem and fixed it. Also I believe with both DVD drives connected Express gate was not working for me and then when I disconnected one of them it worked perfectly! Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi all,

Firstly, I would like to say a big thank you to all the contributors to this thread, I have only had my board for 5 days but I was better equipped than most with the excellent info you have here. I had a very shakey start with the board, all due to memory issues of course, I had the OCZ Platinum 1333 2Gig kit and it would only let me run the board on auto settings and no higher than 1000mhz!

I was told by a friend on the TPU forums that his problems stopped with this board as soon as he got the GSkill HZ 1600 kit so I got one myself and now I am completely stable, I have not tried pushing the memory yet as the sticks only went in tonight but today is the first time I have been able to push my new Q9650, here is what I have acheived so far....I stress this was a "deathrun" purely to really push the board and chip and is definatly NOT orthos stable :shocked:

Once again, thank you all, I have used a combination of all of your suggested settings to get to here, the chip is orthos stable at 4.3gig now.

Officer you mean, wish I was a detective, was a investigator, same job different title.

anyone have any suggestions for my e8600 to be stable at 5ghz? i cant seem to get it bench stable. temps arent a problem.

I would try the settings posted here. Try high VNB.

TOoo Bad :s

So i-m must start to thinking in change the mother :)

they need to come out with an X8900 chip. i'd get one. it would have to be like $350 or less to be worth while i think. it would be nice to have an unlocked multi on a dualcore again.

Havent had any real problems with this board :up:

Uhhmmm...Finally I feel so tired with this board...I'm totally lose my patient with this "junk"...I've already sold my board to my friend...And now I think maybe it's the right time to try the R.O.G series...and Maximus II Formula will be my next motherboard but I won't buy the Rampage Extreme coz I think The "price" will instantly cut my throat...I hope that didn't make me dissapointed anymore...
The reason of why I feel so dissapointed with P5Q3 Deluxe is because it's stability problem issued and the "limitation" (either Processor FSB and DRAM FSB) of this board is make me feel so sick...
Hopefully my next motherboard would give me more satisfaction...

I think that you must find the correct setting.
Sure this motherboard is not easy for memory clock, but it's very good for high fsb and ddr3 :) especially with qx.

This is what I got.
Bios 1303. A mild over clock but this Kingston is holding up great!
Kingston Part - KHX12800D3K2/2G
Bout to flash to 1402

DAMN My Q3 Dlx so RMA NOW!!!:(:(

I must have been lucky, I had 3 days of problems, changed my ram and not a single issue since, big overclocks, 500+ FSB with a quad and as solid as a rock.....sorry others seem to be having ireversible issues.

Thumper, what is your Vdimm at?

also, what is are your bios settings?

I am using the Kingston 2 GB sticks, but they are also rated 9-9-9-27.

Thanks in advance.

anyone have any settings for an e8600 around 5ghz that are stable for benching?

also... would running 2x4870x2s on this board cause an instability? im using a 1200watt pc power and cooling PSU.

Dunno, I guess them 4870x2's wouldnt particularily be overjoyed at just x8 bandwidth, not with all that juice throbbin from them :D

Hello guys!

I recently got this mobo (thanks hipro) and next weekend I am going to try it with my phase and my Q6600 (and propably with an E8500). I would test the mobo the previous weekend, but my sillystupiduseless 8500GT wasn't working. I read about the problems with 1600 Micron chips (my kit is ADATA 1600 D9GTR), but I hope I won't have many problems :D

Sorry for my bad English :p

Thank you. I'll see if I give those timings a try and see how it works out.

This is what I got with an E8400

Ok, got my Gskill 2 x 2GB 1600 MHz memory today. Timings are 7-7-7-18 @ 1.9V

I have it OCed to 1760 and timings are 8-8-8-21 @ 1.96 (I have not tweaked these yet. Just loosened it a bit as the original timings BSOD when I ran Prime Blend test)

It is still running right now and it's been 18 mins so far. I have never been able to run Prime 95 blend @ 1600MHz at all, so this is a good thing.

Thank you to those who posted about this memory, you guys are lifesavers!!

im interested to see how well the 2x2gb gskill do on overclocking. im thinking of getting a pair myself but i would want them to be able to do at least 2000mhz with reasonable timings and volts.

i'm still having problems with my ocz3rpx133eb2gk ram.i can only run stable at 8-7-7-27 at 1.8v, mutil 10x, fsb strap 400, pcie clock 101, ras to ras delay 9, row refresh cycle time 88, cpu 1.215v everything else auto, ive tried tweaking nbv and gtl's but it dosent boot or run as stable as auto settings. i'm using bios 1402.

why not we all post up all of the ddr3 rams with settings that works ? thx to all in advance.
sadly, i think i could have short circuited my mobo while trying to replace ram into 2nd orange slot without powering off system while in bios rebooting with 1 ram to set up bios.
DO NOT DO THIS guys... now i have no pc to use and have to head to asus here in HK ad hopefully get a replacement.

looks like the g.skill rams are doing a great job holding up to this mobo ... i am located in hk but i've searched around and there is no g. skill ddr3 available, i've also tried on ebay not much luck, can anyone help me out with purchasing g skill rams ? i've tried newegg but they do not ship internationally sad sad :(

I changed the ram to my E8600 and at 1680 MHz, it ran at stock 7-7-7-18 1.9V settings.

Once I have the time to OC my board a bit more, I'll try to hit 500 FSB and see if I can get the ram stable. Playing a lot of Warhammer online lately :)

Lukee,

set your RAS to RAS delay to 8-10 or even more.

the 5 is faulty default taken over from ASUS' DDR2 boards. OCZ, Mushkin and Corsair state that at least 8 or 10 are neccessary, depending on your type of RAM and current clock. The higher, the more cycles you need.

Thanks.. So I should try the 7-7-7-18-8 settings for 1760 MHz?

Btw, if anyone wants to buy some Kingston DDR3 1600 MHz 2 GB DIMMs, please pm me :)

Lukee:

7-7-7-18 might be okay for your memory modules, thi I'd rather start at 9-9-9-24 roughly and find something stable first before tightening the latencies.

Second boot, XMP profile selected, everything else @ auto.

BND|MOD... great table.

are you planning on finding any higher freqencies? i have found my gskill HZ's do 2000mhz at 8-7-6-20 at 2.04v but i cannot get me e8600 to run 5ghz with the ram at 2000mhz. any suggestions?

How about change the Multi to 9 or 9.5, so you can run at 4.5 or 4.75?

i have already accomplished that. i want to run it at 5ghz. it runs and boots up to 5.7ghz but is not benchable past 4.95ghz

Yes i want to test near 1000Mhz but low timings.... my e8600 don`t run at 5ghz for now... i need to tweak better :) with 1.5vcore :P

i've gotten the hang of the board now. it's pretty easy to get some impressive OCs to work but stability over 500fsb is almost impossible it seems.

Under watr kind of refrigeration do you have that e8600 :P?
Wich vdimm do you use for 1000 cas 9? 2.x?

225watt TEC paired with a iwaki RD30 and 2x PA120.3's.

used 2.04v for 2000mhz 9-9-9-24 but i have found that i can get 2000mhz working with 2.0v and run 9-8-7-21

Ah... so... not all or many pair of HZ can run that speed ? only one of few kits that you have tested?

i think most pairs do pretty good but not all. im still trying to get something over 2000mhz to work.

Hahaha Vista can`t boot... winload break with 1900 to 2000 mhz hahaha i need XP....

you may need more NB for it to work. i put a fan over my NB and use 1.46v- 1.54v depending on the cpu's speed. i know for a fact that i cannot get 5ghz cpu/2000mhz mem to boot into vista and get a screenshot. you may try the 9x multi and see if it works though. good luck.

hi i just got a p5q3 and i wanted to know which is a good ram to buy? on my p5q dlx iv been using gskill and its worked pretty good so far...

i want to buy 4gb and 1333 speed seems to be the sweetspot in price...

I was using Kingston HyperX. Pure garbage with this board.

A few people here had very good results with Gskill, so I bought the Gskill 2 X 2GB HZ 7-7-7-18 1.9V kit and it runs smooth.

On my E8600 machine, memory is running at 1680 at it's factory settings.

thanks for the reply bro

do you have a link to it? and was it 1333 from factory or 1600?

Hello guys :p

I tried the mobo with my Q6600 and my phase the previous Friday.


WOW!! I love the FSB! 529FSB with my Q6600, while my P5E64WS Evolution stopped at 507FSB :mad:

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...e/cpu-3174.jpg

I used CPU-Z 1.45 (:mad::mad::mad:), so I can't validate my results.


http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...e/cpu-4675.jpg

Max MHZ. My Q6600 has more MHZ, but I had problems with my PSU (CM 400W :rolleyes:)


And here is a completely untweaked SPI

http://i302.photobucket.com/albums/n...eluxe/feaf.jpg


The mobo didn't work well with my 1600 ADATA, but it worked very fine with one stick Corsair Dominator 1800C7D (the other is dead :rolleyes:). 1010MHz 7-6-6-15 ~2.2V. I can't find the screenshot at the moment, when I find it I'll post it :cool:

Here you go.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231167

It's listed at 1600 MHz

They also have the 2 GB kits if you only want 2 x 1 GB.

If price is a consideration and you want the 1333 MHz memory, I don't see why it should be much different. I would get the HZ one though.

Cool. They should work fine for you.

Question about 500+ FSB.

Let's say that I want to try 520 FSB and 8 x multiplier, would I have to increase the NB or FSB voltage?

Hi Guys , Bios version 1406 will be out very soon , ASUS is updating its support pages , HOWEVER if you don't want to wait until this is done ;), you can download it from ASUS server

http://dlsvr04.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/...ELUXE-1406.zip

Things went more stable for me with it and I think it is going to be a final release not a BETA , cheers ...

thank you :up:

Hi guys

Look what I can with my memorys... No tweaks

How good is the 1406? i`m planing to load it tomorrow :) and try to test it with stock fan :s

can u post your everest results please ?

Has anyone been able to go past 540 FSB on air or water?

I have been able run 540 x 8.5 ~ 4.61 GHz , but I can't push my FSB any further. I even lowered the multiplier to 6 x and kept my memory at around 1600 MHz, and nothing.

If you have gone past that FSB, what settings did you use?

Thanks.

ive gotten to 580. it wasnt hard but anything over that is a PITA. i got 620 to post somehow but not much else.

my board seems to have different settings depending on what day of the month it is. i may sound crazy but a lot of ppl i have talked to feel the same way. its just an odd board.

I agree totally, an example is, I set the system up for benching the quad at 4.4gig, Orthos it for 5 hours....no problems, do several very nice 2006 runs....no problems, save the profile, then a week later load the profile for some more benching......overclock failed! :shakes: Everything is in the memory, I have the HZ's and I can run really tight upto 1600mhz (6-6-6-16) but always have stability issues at 7-7-7-18 (or 20) beyond 1600mhz unless I really loosten, for some reason my board does not like the 7 timings :confused:

i REALLY need to know what it is that my e8600 wants/needs voltage wise to get it past 5.2ghz but no one will tell me. i've tried just about everything i can think of and it's just not stable. my temps are still really good and i know this chip will go further but the settings are holding me back.

5.2? What voltages are you using right now?

520 x 10?

Vcore
PLL
FSB
NB
SB

500 x 10

Vcore = 1.44375
PLL = 1.54
FSB = 1.46
NB = 1.44
SB = 1.3(1.4 with 2x2's in)

gtls on auto
clk skews on auto(doesnt seem to make any difference)
this is not 3dmark stable at all but it doesnt BSOD. it just pauses in the cpu test... not freeze though. just pause.

Cool. What kind of temps are you getting?

I'll give that a shot.

11c idle and 17c load.

any setings for ram ? i'm very stable with 2x2gb pair of g skill hz at 7-7-7-18-9-90 1.9v running at 1.2vcore(idle @ 26c) 400mhz most of my settings are at auto but i cant get any higher than 4000mhz any higher would cause my pc to go nuts. i'm using bios 1406. any help pls ;)

1306 seems to run my ram the best. the 1406 bios seems to hate my chip/ram

8-7-6-21 @ 2000mhz runs pretty well at 2.04v

I have the same ram. I can run 8-8-7-18 @ 1800 2.0 V and of course the stock 7-7-7-18 @ 1600 1.9V

I've tried running at 2000 and can't get it to post.

Btw, for that 2000 MHz ram, what was your VDimm?

I assume that you are on cooling better than water with your temps.

maybe I'll go try the 1306 bios as well. I am using 1406 atm.

I see you posted this.

Vcore = 1.44375
PLL = 1.54
FSB = 1.46
NB = 1.44
SB = 1.3(1.4 with 2x2's in)

Are these the values you used for that 2000 MHz ram?

2.04v vmem for 2000mhz ram

i cant get over 2000mhz though.

cant get over 5ghz benchable either

Hmm.. I tried 1.4 SB
1.4 - 1.5 FSB
1.44 NB

9-9-9-24- 2.04V

and it wouldn't even post.

works here....

http://forums.techpowerup.com/attach...1&d=1220921526

i had to go through 5 sets before i found one that could do 2000mhz though.

Oh!!! Well, I only have 2 sets and I don't feel right RMAing any of them because they do run at their 1600 rated FSB. They even run at 1800MHz, so I'll try again but I'll just have to suck it up.

Gskill HZ 1600mhz 2x1gb with D9GTS

This is a mainstream chipset that's still in a teething stage, BIOS is only just starting to become mature. Don't know why people are so obsessed with 5Ghz or 600 fsb, to download p0rn faster?...lol. I'm getting this mobo this week and despite all the negativity here I'm quietly confident it will make a very suitable 24/7 rig, with some casual gaming. If you want to do intelligent overclocking it should be alright I think, if you want to destroy your cpu and memory other mobos like Blackops will help you achieve that quicker than this board. Another thing I've noticed is that there don't seem to be too many complaints from people using quality memory like Cellshock, which is what I intend to use. Anyway, I'll try to have my system up and running ASAP to finally start contributing some screenie's based on my experiences.

Hello i'm new here :)

I have P5Q3 deluxe and i cant put on my ram (OCZ3P18001GK x2) hihgt at 1333 MHz i try eny bios please help me !!

Try using google, or check OCZ forums, they should have some profiles there for your specific sticks, or a workaround if you're lucky.

I was working on this OC and am happy with it so far. I still need to work on tightening up the voltages a bit, but here it is. Sorry for the trial version of Everest, but I've tried paying with paypal and my cc and they had issues with both of those.

Hey see this :)
i have been playing with fsb and memory :)

What settings are you using for that 550 FSB. I have only been able to get to 540. 545 won't post.

Wait a half of hour and i`ll post a temple bios...

i can reach 560 for now at 6x not more :s

I am building a new machine, and the P5Q3-Deluxe and P5E3-Deluxe (X38) is the only mainboards with DDR3 avaliable where i live, to ddr2 i have rampage and many others. (memory will be a no brand ddr3 1333 for a while for ddr3, or a Gskill PC8500 DDR2).

Is the P5Q3-Deluxe a good mainboard to use with a Q9550 E0 ? I plan to use it at 4ghz maximum, 24/7.

...

And asking, is the Evga 780i Sli Ultra a good mainboard to use it with Q9550 ? Because i have this mainboard easiser than any others.

I will apreciate a answear.

Thanks.

You will better go for the P5Q3 Deluxe then.

Quad works better on P45 as on X38.

And the 780i ultra gets very hot.

I agree.

I have on a 2nd machine,

P5Q3 Deluxe/Wifi
Q9550 C0
2 x 2 GB Gskill 7-7-7-18 1.9V HZ mem.
Xigmatek S-1283

I am running that at (450 x 8.5) 3.825 at the moment.

Memory is running at 1800 MHz @ 8-8-8-21 2.04V

I have not tweaked the system yet, so I'm sure I can probably get more out of it.

with a Q9550 E0, you should be able to hit 4GHz+ easily with good air cooling.

P45 is the way to go if you really want to OC a quad.
