I was wondering what's the new idea to get 481FSB.
Maybe we can think about it together.

Can boot to GPT? Erm.. GPT stands for General Purpose Technology. In that regard intel are talking about the EFI communicating with the GPT within the system. In other words they put a fancy spin\term on what the BIOS currently does; which is talk to all the other hardware within the system. So again I have t fall back on all intel want is for the EFI to replace a BIOS so it looks pretty :p:
they DONT have later date stamps-- both of them have the same "internal" date stamp which is sometime in Feb 2009. The thing is the FILE ITSELF has different modification dates. They also have different CRC-32 and different sizes.
Both of them are named "p5q 2102m.rom" but we have:
File #1: 717,749 bytes, CRC:93af9d34, modified date 5/14/09
File #2: 713,378 bytes, CRC:3c06fdab, modified date 7/11/09
BOTH of these come directly from the download links in your sticky post. I am just asking you which one of these is the correct one to use. I am assuming that I should use the File#2 since it has a more recent date. Right??? :shrug:
Ah, now that makes more sence. One has a different date from the other because I released 2 different versions, one uses a different P6 and memory table to the other, so their both "right". Just 2 different flavours of the same thing :up:
Could someone post a link for asus p5q deluxe 1406m bios,or send it via mail?
I wonder what the WiP bios is? I am using your m2102 bios on my P5Q Pro to overclock my Q8300. But sadly enough I'm stuck at 455FSB.
A couple of weeks ago I bought some OZC 1150mhz memory sticks to replace my Corsair 800mhz sticks but sadly enough it didn't help me at all. I'm still stuck at 455FSB.
The problem I'm having is that if I go over 455FSB> Blend fails on the first 2 cores within seconds but the other two cores runs just fine.
I can pass 12hours with small FFT @ 467FSB with quite high Volts but Large FFT and Blend fails within seconds.
Maybe the problem is that on the P5Q Pro you can't adjust the GTL reference on the NB and only a overall adjustment on the CPU GTL?
Any help would be appreciated!
Even if I do know that I won't really notice those +200mhz it's always fun to see how far you can push your CPU and memory :)
A better test to try would be REAL games. If your system doesn't crash with hours of gaming, video encoding, etc, then your fine. I've seen completely stock systems fail P95, OCCT etc instantly, but of course, the systems run absolutely fine gaming, encoding etc.
Well maybe you are right, I can pass 25runs LinX with max mem too so I'm quite perplexed why it should Blend of all things.
EDIT:
Maybe you Ket would be so nice to post your settings of getting to 481FSB?
Maybe it would be a good starting point to move me from my current position :)
I can pass Prime/Intel burn above 475FSB sometimes (random) but fails every time on Prototype game.
It all depends what part of the CPU is been used, ie the 3d Part for gaming.
Well if you google max CPU Volt for 45nm CPU's you will see that Intel recommends the 1.3625V limit.
But it seems that people have tested the 45nm CPU's and confirmed that the ABSOLUTE max is 1.45V.
It all depends on how much you feel is "to much" and how long you plan to use your OC rigg.
I for one will not be able to by a new computer before I have finished my studies (in like 3 years) so I follow the recommendations from Intel.
Currently I'm at 1.304v during load (LLC enabled) with my 455FSB*7.5 OC.
Some of you have been requesting it for some time, and as my P5Q Pro died for absolutely no reason I figured fusk it, so I went and bought a Maximus 2 Formula :D Which means everybody who has wanted me to deadicate some time for a modded M2F BIOS will soon get one :up: My M2F should arrive tomorrow or monday, I'll need a few days of fiddling to get a feel for things, and after that I'll see what I can do.
For anyone wondering, the M2F seems to havew a rather universal stable FSB limit of around 500-540MHz. With some splicing around here and there, lets see if I can get it up to 580MHz.
Cool, 600FSB IMO would be easy on a Dual (I was at 1175 due to Memory not doing 1200mhz) as the Memory support is very lacking.
But your in for a MAX 475FSB stable on a Quad, any more and its not worth the extra voltage and it will not get much higher period.
I hope you (should be by now) get a A3 NB (I have A2).
Will do :up: Just can't wait for my M2F to arrive so I can play games again :D Who knows, my CPU might even break its current top speed which is 3.6GHz with the Pro. I'm not holding my breath though.
I reckon you stand a good chance of getting an A3 now, most users seem to have A2, but The last 2 I had were both A3 which were both in the space of about 4 months. Whilst I was waiting for my second to arrive, I plonked a P5Q-D in my rig and got just as far with that as the MIIF, but not quite so good with the memory.
Will look forward to seeing what you can do with the bios (and your board :)).
I'm optimistically hopeful for something like 500x7.5. That way I can run 1200MHz on my memory an basically max FSB, CPU and RAM out :)
Hehe I feel for you man, Dragon Age comes out on the third so I would be pretty mad if my computer went and died on me now :ROTF:
Maybe when the 775 boards go for penny's I too will upgrade to a better board but for now I just want to see how much I can push out of my P5Q Pro :)
The Pro is a great board, I just looked at the M2F and figured hell with it, for another £30 or so may as well go with the M2F. Last ROG board I had took a lot of abuse from me and it was still rock stable :p:
