Wich FSB/RAm are you doing mate... I've read on several forums 65nm quads behave different and some settings absolutely do not work as with 45nm CPU's....

425/566 for a 3:4 divider. I have increased my Ram voltage to 1.96 and PL8/Moderate passed memtest so now I am running a 2 hour OCCT Ram test. Looks like I can increase the voltage on this ram up to 2.0v in the bios and still be safe. Is PL8/Moderate a good goal for me? I am running SRC: Enabled, MemOC Charger: Enabled

edit: If PL8/moderate passes then I might be able to up the voltage a bit more to maybe 1.98v and get PL8/Strong to pass, or maybe PL7/Moderate if possible. I think I really like this stuff, I am not done with testing yet but my goal is to push it as hard as it will go at 1133mhz and under 2.0v

I flashed back to this official one... it boots with lower PL levels now eg at 400FSB/1066 it posts with PL7 set... before it was 10... so the non tweakers will get a bit more...

for 400FSB this is the rundown with Pl at AUTO: 400/800 :13
400/1000 : 10
400/1066 : 7

It passed a 2 hour OCCt test so for me initial stability is there... will test some more FSB/RAM Pl's

If you can enable SRC and Moderate I think you are pretty maxed out... but if you got good ram who knows...

I still use my Gskill PC8000HZ kit for the 1200mhz runs... I need to up NB voltage to 1.28, for the rest it was pretty straightforward... as soon as you want to hit 600FSB/1200ram things got more complicated here...

I would update to at least 0704 bios, I'm on 1103 official right now, build seems about the same as 1102 beta... will have to see what's different or not...

Sweet, I just passed 2 hour OCCT Ram test on PL8/Moderate!!! The only thing is that I flashed 1103 and bumped voltage to 1.96 at the same time so I am not sure which one helped, I think the extra juice did the most help though. Do you use MemOC Charger? I want to tweak a bit more if possible now, do you think I should try for PL7/Moderate or PL8/Strong?

Hi,

-the saved oc prifiles remains after bios update?
-if YES, is it safe to load an oc profile of an older BIOS? Because for example a newer release can have added option or some different setting

Thanks.

i think it depends on the ram (or we can say it is compatiable issue for ram and mb) not the bios, i can run g.kill pi at 1066/1200 pl7 with 1102 stable, might give the new official 1103 a go tomorrow. as i said before, when seeting ram at 1200, system will show 1333 with strap 400.

DO NOT EVER LOAD OC PROFILES FROM AN OLDER BIOS, just a general warning

Yes true, but the bios boots with these now with AUTO selected in the transaction Booster, earlier biosses it set higher (safer) values... this is not necessarily the lowest you can work with....

590x7 bios 1103 :help: why not 600 fsb :fight:

?max PL volt on waterooling ??????

is not the vcore volt/fsb/mem :confused:

i got Cellshock PC8000 CL4

where can i find how to measure voltages on this board?
please anyone:confused:

I was just testing some old cpus on this board on Air using TRUE + Delta 220cfm, seems like a good overall clocker board it does like older cpus too :D

I have set 2.0v in bios and it's been stable for minutes now. Can anyone confirm this through their own observations? We have to figure out the measure points on the front of the board so we can verify it for sure, as I'd like to know exactly what I'm giving my ram. There are also a few extra options in the new bios.

Also the PL has dropped when set to auto, such that now I have to set PL10 manually to be stable at 445 FSB and DDR 1068 MHz. On auto, it wouldn't even boot up.

Witch extra options did u mean ?
I didnt notice the difference in stability between 1102 and 1103, when using same vDIMM (2,06v. @ 1080MHz 5-5-5-15)... I run Orthos for 2 hours now with same settings as 1102 without problems... Waiting for somebody to measure voltages again...

why all say 1103 is official ? cant find on all asus sites?!

Sorry im using the P5Q-E, when I first got the board a couple of weeks back, it had bios 06xx on it, I flashed to 08xx straight away before installing anything, however when I had my overclock nice and stable and set up I saved it to profile 1, the other day 1003 was released and I flashed to that, re-entered the bios and tried loading OC prolie 1, saved and exited, re-entered the bios again to make sure everything had loaded OK, and quite simply, nothing had changed, just had to set the bios up manually again, nothing Major in it at all, just plain and simple, although 1003 rocks, but still has a slight issue with express gate and my usb external HD as did 0803.

#2210
is a beta

If it's on their ftp: ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/so...eluxe-1103.zip

People like to try 'em ;)

Official or otherwise.

Heh, i just updated from 0901 to 1103 myself.

Doesn't change what tRD levels i can do.

10x350 2:3 = tRD 6 + pull-ins
9x389 3:4 = tRD 7 + pull-ins
8x438 5:6 = tRD 8 + pull-ins

Everest read is a bit better with 1103, but thus far Write, Copy, & Latency are worse.

Not really impressed; i may go back to 0901.

It looks like my P5Q-Deluxe arrived DOA... :(:(:(

Is there any significant VTT/PLL overvolt?

Did you get it from newegg? Sorry to hear that man.

Yeah, got an RMA Return for Replacement with them, I just need to ship it out. I would have shipped it today, but I ended up taking a nap. :slap::am::hitself:

Hi Guys!

I flashed the 1004 BIOS for P5Q. After that I got blue screens at start up, or the error message "explorer.exe stopped worinkg". I set the important values manually in BIOS, and so the system seems to work fine. I dont read much abuot this build, but I am afraid that something is not correctly set there, I hope I dose not overvolt anything. Has someone got such problems? Or has got anyone voltage measurements with this BIOS?
