ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

i just hooked up that fan that comes with the p4b deluxe that says 'use only for passive or water coooling'. it has no affect on my CPU temps (zalman) so i'm gonna leave it on. i imagine that it can only lower NB temps which hopefully will give me more FSBs.....but it is a little loud.

Slow boot times, slow disk access times, strange pauses in windows. (iexplorer as well)

All these disappear with HD Audio disabled & drivers uninstalled

I have actually done the same thing using a Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, it blows air into the chipset hs and that lil cooler seems to take what it blows onto it off faster and brings my chipset down like 10C from testing I wondered the same thing about a month ago when i was messin with it

so noone has 1.03g with C2 chipset ? :(

Just bought a P5B-D 1.03g last Friday at Frys, its a C1 stepping P965 also. I thought all 1.03g were C2 ... guess not. I am loving the board though, running my E6300 and Team Group D9 at 510 FSB 1:1 4-4-4-10 2.30VDimm, memtest and Prime95 stable.

There are full 4580 drivers out there that supports DTS if i'm not mistaken, however once i installed it, it once again had aslow boot, (e.g no I/O activity on the HDD part for a few scroling blue bars at start up).

Isn't that special. If ASUS dosen't fix this problem soon, I won't buy another board with SoundMax on it again. (there is no excuse for this!)

is 4gb ram suppose to help overclocking,i'm not getting any luck with it and no 1 seems to be answering my questions

windows install with the "f6" option as being done, and, not as an option, which i believe is necessary with this board,

you must install at "f6" the following;

1) intel raid driver
2) intel chipset inf utility
3) jmicron raid driver
4) intel matrix storage driver

the chipsets on the board need those drivers for configuration purposes,

no driver, no talky...............in other words; the south can't talk to the north when they speak different languages and the drivers act as a bridge to be able to communicate between the different chipsets regardless of what "theme park" the respective territories adopt.

why would you use a generic windows driver thats probably 5 yrs old when the jmicron driver is designed specifically for the chipset on this board for any ide devices.

---

Can someone PLEASE tell me how to install all these drivers during F6? or even just the Jmircon raid and intel matrix storage drivers. Using the Asus disc to create a raid driver disc for floppy will only install one of the drivers and no more and you can't use multiple floppy's to install with.
I am trying to solve my intermittent IDE DVD/CD rom issues.

4gig wont help it will lessen your chances because you oc'ing 4 sticks instead of 2 so all 4 have to perform which is more strain.

@GameGuru

just forget them all. you dont need to install them there but after you installed xp. only one you need at f6 is raid which i doubt you using somehow.

Just use 1.55V for NB.
The memory controller isnt in the cpu, so it wont effect it.

i had to raise vdimm too when running 4GB

so all i have to raise is vdimm and everything should be fine or i need to set more stuff?
Do you guys use the ai booster or you go in the bios itself?
if 4gbs is gonna cause problems,i'll just take them out

?????
Vdimm is only the memory (chips) itself? So u mean if u had 8gig u have to use 2.4Volt?

When more memory, the northbridge needs to do more, so higher the nb . 1.55V is enough.

lol, i'm just saying what worked for me and my board
no need to have a fit m8
simply increasing the nb voltage to 1.55V may have worked for you, but not here

Babsy ... leave all that Asus AI :banana::banana::banana::banana: ... uninstall everything except Asus Probe and Asus Update ! Then go to bios and do this:
1."Cpu config" tab - Disable everything - cpu multi lock @ 9x
2. Free jumper set. tab - 400FSB/800ram (assure ure in 1:1 ratio) / 1.45Vcore , 1.55VNB , 1.6VSB , 1.057VICH , 2.1-2.2Vdimm, Disable spread spectrum, Lock PCI-e @ 110 , Lock PCI-clk @ 33.33
3.Also its recommended that u disable all fan controllers in bios

If it doesnt post or it aint stable leave everything as above just change cpu multi to 8x , put 450FSB/900ram , 2.2-2.3Vdimm(u should also set manually ram timings at 5-5-5-15) and see if it works. GL

These settings are working for u.

Most used clock when overclocked:
vnb= 1.55V
Vsb= 1.7V
vfsb=1.4V

i second this.

Look at this link http://www.codemonkeyx.net/node/22
It shows you how to combine the JMB/Intel drivers on a "F6" floppy.

Best regards :)

I have problems with jmicron+audio.I've tried all the drivers but i cannot fix it..4580 is the best so far.

When is asus going to release new official bios to fix some of these obviously bios-related issues we're having :confused:

Yeah with all the problems people are having with the audio and slow boot times I just disabled the on board sound and put in a old SB Live that I had laying around the house. Pretty horrible support from Asus on their drivers :slapass: , the on board audio is supposed to be pretty nice if they can ever get the drivers fixed.

Does anyone have a link to the full dts 4580 drivers?
