Nice to hear that. You are welcomed!

C2D E7400 (2,8GHz) Stepping A Rev. R0

So i think can it be up to Bios? Im just played with new bios what can get from Asus.

I Think this cpu is very hunggryyy but anyway its cool ( not yet over 60C at load, and running air cooled )... Doesnt you have deleted this cpu´s info from this bios because first problem with this board was too old bios and i upgraded it with Pentium 4 HT.

Sorry for laziness. With AsRock and P4 it was up to bios but could it be better with this system if i put that mod bios in? Im used hours for most little volt without losing MHz... gonna test this but worried that one yours dead Asus. :=

CPU skew:
NB Skew:
^Very rarely using those but can those help me a lot? What are others used for those?
Edit: CPU skew and NB skew got for good but need raise volts a little bit to get it stable. Maybe after when got this stable will test mod bios.


Edit2: Damn this bios is good. +++ for you. Not yet tested higher but feels good. 8)

I think your CPU Cores are already pretty hot!!! Tell you what, I had a E7200 with IHS removed and a TT120 oced to 3.8GHz at 1.35V, it reaches 90 celius in core temp. I think you shall try boosting the FSB and lowering the multiplier to get a better perfomance instead.
Anything higher than 1.40V is really dangerous for air cooling. To see core temp, use coretemp.

I noticed that setting 1.3825v in bios results in 1.35 idle in cpu-z and without LLC enabled it goes to 1.3v on load. I don't think the other bios was any different.

Thinking about it, would a new memory table help me? I have crucial ballistix micron d9s 16FD5 so its really old memory. I could understand if there was some newer memory which was tweaked, although I'm just guessing about what the actually tweak in the memory tables.

Sorry for not being a better beta tester, I just want to get comfortable and confident of my overclock before testing more. It is still cold here too and I want my 24/7 overclock to be stable all year round. Plus I don't want my crucial ballistix to be RMA'ed because I don't know what I will receive back, probably RAM not as overclockable. I have a proheim megaheim and a 120mm focused on the RAM, so I hope its safe.

FYI 4 dimms was not stable with 1.28v NB but is with 1.36v NB @ 450 5:6 333strap (only settings I tested)

Interesting, on my P5Q PRO, I can't increase any volt on NB otherwise unstable. In fact I reached 450FSB on 1.10V NB with my Q9550. Try to tweak the mem parameter to SPD or EPP, make sure they are the sane as the official setting.

No they aren´t. Same result with CoreTemp like others. I´ll maybe put a Thermometer for looking temps to very close of cpu. But its got at +1,5V over 75C... before i had MSI and i runned even on 1,64V... The Heatspreader is grinded and Tuniq Tower´s bottom as too. I got some +10C lower temps.

This like volts as drunk alcoholic.

Now i restarted overclocking from 3,2GHz and looking most lowest volts without losing stable of cpu. 1,240V @ 3,2GHz ... 5h Orthos blend... now need restart pc and put again 0,008V lower volt and come back 8) if its gonna change behavior of this cpu and if i learn somenthing how to get stable...

And try very well that lower multiplier, it worked last time with MSI. (x10,5->x9,5)
E: I give at +4,1GHz speed last time some 1,3V to NB. I try too does need raise them so much anymore.
Edit4: 3267MHz @ 1,232V ~>
Edit5: 3609MHz @ 1,296V (lots of hours and tweaking for getting stable but finally it is stable) ~>

I guess R0 stepping helped quite a bit. I also lapped my TT120. I noticed a 3 degree lower.

Dang this thread is still going? :eek:

ED - maybe I shuldnt of saind anything... probably going to get loads of PMs and questions in the thread to answer now :p:

Very late reaction.
I think you are wrong about this...(sorry;)), but the lowest setting is the same as auto on a P5Q (checked with voltmeters, not by me, is in the main P5Q deluxe thread) and the P5Q gives very high voltages on auto if you overclock, that's why raising the voltage a little fails (you are running high and now lowering). If you still use this mobo, raise the voltages until you are stable, that will be much lower then on auto or the lowest setting. 100% sure, after I did this my NB was much cooler, which was to hot to touch. Same goes for all voltages except pcie and southbridge voltages, which you can leave on auto.
And OMG even memory is overvolted by 0.08V always. I can run my corsairs on 2.02 instead of 2.1.

Can Anyone host to other site other than Megaupload? I don't know why this site always show "This service is temporarily not available from your service area." when I am trying to download the mBIOS.

Thanks xplane1

Hello folks...
i want to know if i get some benefits with this bios and a p5q premium? I can't find any post of another p5q premium user... is there someone who can tell me?

Best regards

So, im having issues booting into windows @ 4.5GHz with an E8400 E0... Tried all the way up to 1.5v but it still bluescreens me 2sec after windows bootup logo >.<

All done with 1.5 vCore:

500x9 = fail
517x8.5 = works.. but only for fast benching..
520x8.5 = nope.. same as 500x9 :(

Tried increasing NB voltage but its the same there... Running Dominator 1066MHz memorys so its not a memory issue (yet)..

Using P5Q Deluxe and 1406 official bios.
Think a Ket bios would help out ? I'm not asking for 100% stability with 500x9 or anything.. But maybe it will increase my chance on benching stable trough atleast a vantage run + a screenshot for hwbot :P

Hello, me again...
can someone create a mod bios for my p5q premium with the newest official bios, the newest tables and firmwares for intel raid controller and so on?
It would be very nice. ..


Best regards.

Second that for the regular P5Q. New Bios came on 11th march.
Revision is:

P5Q BIOS 2208 >>> http://support.asus.com/download/dow...-ASUS-2208.zip

THX :rolleyes:

Hi, i flashed your bios on my deluxe. It worked great. Could you put mode dividers for memory frequensy? If i have ram at 800mhz and fsb at 400Mhz the lowest divider is 1:1, if i go over 400Mhz FSB then it could happen that i can't start the system.

Thanks, great work!

For anyone that missed the post, I'm not modding P5Q Series BIOSes anymore. It only ever started as a temporary fix for the piss poor memory support asus had for the lower end P5Qs such as the vanilla model and Pro. Theres a post in here somewhere where you can download a bunch of tools an stuff I use. This thread is more like a archived source of knowledge these days, although, if anyone wants to update SATA ROMs and such for a Maximus 2 Formula, I have enough time to play guinepig (I'm looking at you chenxuwen :p: )

I would try to make my old P5Q PRO work with more than 6gb of RAM (had no luck so far) but the link is broken... :(

As you can see above i´ve updated the original Asus P5Q Pro Turbo Bios 0602 with the Intel Raid Rom 9.6.0.1014 and the JMB368 Option Rom 1.07.11.

Feel free to modify it, but please post your versions here ;-)

I'm still trying to figure out how to get the audio to work on my X-Fi Xtreme Music. It installs just fine but the volume is low. I'm wondering if it's a bios issue? Anybody else had any problems with the bios and the X-Fi cards?

The "X-Fi" is not a true X-Fi, its actually a ADI2000B audio CODEC with the software layer of the X-Fi to make it look prettier. Personally, I like the generic ADI drivers better, not only because they work better IMO, but also because I'm all for anything that helps kill Creative off as their by far the most piss-poor audio vendor I've ever known.

Good audio solutions:

ADI 1988B CODEC
ADI 2000B CODEC
VIA audio chipsets (Particularly the Oxygen audio chipset)
Asus Xonar audio cards (Uses Oxygen audio chip)
A few others you can't get easily anymore, so I won't list them

Bad audio solutions:

Realtek (unless you mess with the equalizer, in which case its kinda good)
Anything Creative has had a hand in.

Is there a possibility to add also for P5Q BIOS 2208, the SLIC2.1 to the BIOS??? Using the 2102 now and it is very stable!! Or no need to update because not much has changed???

Could someone explain to me how to add the intel raid rom and jmb368 rom with a p5q vanilla? Im running the mbios 2102 and would like mod the 2208 to retain all the features of the 2102 mbios. I cant find any guides on how to use MMtool and AMIBCP any help would be greatly appreciated.

hey, hi can you reup this good bios?
and with this bios can i use ddr3?

thank you thank you

Bascially the comment I made on # 2116 about P5Q3 Deluxe applies. Except that this time the memory table is P5Q Pro Turbo 0602.

Please test it and tell me how you like it.

Note: Make sure your bios is not EFI before using it. There are two versions of P5Q Deluxe.

hi. 2 questions:
with this bios can i use ddr3?

and second, is it possible to have this bios without slic table 2,1?

Thanks

True, i've ask for reup..
