Im at 110 to be save due to running 3 drives in Raid 0.
I didn't so much fix the double restart for me; it still does that if I make a bios change or power up from off-state. It eliminated the hard restart when you restart from windows, so in that case there is no double restart because it never cycles all the way down.

Someone said somewhere else to lower it to 96. It seemed to help with some artifacting issues I was having in COD2. Everything else is stable, but with a high overclock I was getting some nasty black artifacts.
I got a huge problem that i realy dont know how to solve. here goes...
When i got my P5B Dlx board i had no problem with anything, but after a reboot my DVD is no longer read in windows. I see it in bios, but just shows as cd-rom in windows, and cant load any dvd´s. I have 3 drives. 2 are brand new, course i thought that maybe it was the drive that was deffect. and 1 very old one.
Now the strange thing is that the 2 new ones will still not work, but the 4 year old dvd is working fine. even more strange is that ALL the drives work in windows in safe mode, wich had me believe it was a driver isssue. but even after a clean install it still not working, even NO drivers is installed.
I have tryed ALL posible jumper setting on the drives without luck, and now i´m totaly lost guys.
Also if i try to boot from any drive, it says "NTLDR is missing" and only the old drive also works here
Anybody have any idea how to fix this?? All the drives works in other computers, and in safe mode on the pb5 dlx, but NOT in normal windows
Is this with or without SP2? Try installing SP2. This IS an issue with windows and updates.Quote:

I just tried your settings and can finally hit 3.4. Wohooo thanksQuote:

Am I the only one that think 711 sux ?
I was running 466*7 on the lousy stock cooler with 1.4v.
now I can't make it boot at 400*7 with 1.4v
I'm going back to a older version.
KingGuru: no changes in overclock for me in 0711- same 400Mhz @ 1.3v, maxed around 425 for my (unlucky) E6300

I've got a set of SATA -> IDE adapters coming in today, within the next 2 hours I say. And then i'll report back. I have two optical (a reader and writer) and i'll do an OPS CHECK with all of them to see where they fall in. I'll report back here with the findings.
Had this happen to me. With Windows VISTA thought and not XP. But it could be the same deal. It was just a BAD INSTALL. Other things in the OS were acting out of wack too. Mine was done on a proven stable overclock. I think it was just something with interplanatary alingment being just right. Hasn't happened since...........Quote:

"Had this happen to me. With Windows VISTA thought and not XP. But it could be the same deal. It was just a BAD INSTALL. Other things in the OS were acting out of wack too. Mine was done on a proven stable overclock."
sounds like you proved it to be UNstable :)
Stable overclock has nothing to do with software :confused:Quote:

Double Reboot not fixed w/ 0711
same here but I got another problem with it - I can't move or enter FSB to change it either way - I do have some good news though, my G.Skill 6400hz is at 533.3MHz@2.1v@5-5-5-12 with a divider of 1:2(says that in CPU-Z) because I can't do anything withthe FSB. Anybody got a link to a post that shows which choices are what for fsb to memory ratio? I'm a noob w/ intel (amd dropped the ball I think- as I was a die hard amd guy).Quote:

I think both my harddrives are dead cause of this. I will buy an external harddrive just to test. It boots and goes into bios fine, but it refuses to load windows or install windows. It gets to the "Preparing to setup windows" and stops there.
are you using anything USB when you are running windows setup?....i had something similar with windows just stalling on a Foxconn 975 board...i think it was my USB floppy drive causing the problem.
BTW, your drives are probably ok.
no usb device at all. I do not hear my drives spin up at all.
Heres an interesting problem for you folks....
On a clean install of windows and running at stock speed for everything, my system reboots whenever i try to run AIsuite or Asus Probe 2.....
My system is an E6400 with P5B DLX WiFi....bios 0711
2GB of ram
X1900XTX
Watercooled
PC Power & Cooling 510 DLX PSU
I also have a few more issues but I'll get to them later...Anyone have any idea what is wrong....
I suspect my board is bad....and this would be the second board in a week that would be bad ...

Hello.
I have a question about this mobo and DDR2 1024mb NCP 667 (NC01201).
What voltage is normal for this memory ? It does 900@2.1Volts , but mobo says that this voltage isn't good (red light).
Version of bios - 0711.
Thanks.
Well if the drives aren't spinning up I'd say its a power issue since they should spin up reguardless of being connected or not.Quote:

anything up to 2.3/2.4V and it will be safe TBH.
Will this board recognize an nforce 4 sli raid 0 setup? I went from a ASUS AN8 32X-sli and tried to use those hard drives in raid 0 and it's a nogo.
would see the drives fine but when I enabled the intel raid, nothing... Tried the drives in sata 1/2 and sata 1/3. I thought 1/3 might work since the manual states 1/2 are master and 3/5 are slave.
Anyone actually get raid 0 working on this board?
Update: I got my question answered.. looks like you have to redo the raid array because of the switch from nforce to intel controllers.
anyone got a webspace of the previous bioses from asus P5B dlx.
I've got an E6600 and 2 sticks of 1gb Corsair Pro 800 in my P5Bdlxwifi.... along with an Asus 7600GT... for my first stab at OC'g this thing, I just bumped the clock from 266 to 401 and reset the DDR2 to 800.... boots and runs fine with no other changes.... but it locks up hard during a resume from standby.... is there something inherent about OC'g this board that would absolutely prevent the use of S3 standby?

i LOVE this board!...it is handling my E6700 which did not fair very well on my P5WDG2 WS Pro...to be fair about the Pro board, i am suspecting my Ultra 120 HS to be the problem...not cooling as well as the sister computer which also has an Ultra 120 HS.
I just change my gigabyte s3 for this new cheese burger deluxe, i mean asus P5B deluxe :D , I hope it when well for me. At the current i mem test my crucial ballistix P5300 running at DDR1000 5-5-5-15 on 2.25 volt, no error on mem test so far (2 hours).
I am aiming for 450 bus that all i really wanted so i can take my E6600 to 4G :D.
My gigabyte S3 only allow me upto 400FBS.
wow i got my cheese bacon deluxe to boot at 490 MHz, i am very happy
The only problem is i keep on getting 1x PCI E link width dohhhhhhhh.
Asus P5B deluxe undervolt so bad, I set 1.5 volt and only get 1.45 :(.
I have to set it to 1.55 to get 1.5125.
Got this board up and running at last, its been a flaky start though as the chassis intrusion jumper had been crushed and wouldnt let me boot. I managed to bend the pins back into place and eventually it worked.
Now ive found the motherboard CD is a dud, it keeps reporting CRC errors, luckily it let me explore the CD and manage to install the chipset drivers and ethernet which was enough to get me here.
ll the other software wont install, anybody got a link to where I can get a P5B compatible version of AI suite and/or probe2 ? Ive downloaded them from a google search but its says not compatible :( Asus's site comes up with nothing.

consider the drivers to be corrupted since you took them off the "corrupted" CD...you should not be getting any errors...throw that disc away!
or...RMA the board back.
the "corrupted" disc is probably fine.... more likely it's memory errors...
stock-clock everything for installs....
:cool:

What can someone do if a bios corruption occur ??? The bios is not replaceable . Any ideas cause a friend's board died ?
i definitely think there are a couple of bad CD's being shipped with these boards, the disc i recieved locks up some drives i've tried it on and takes forever to read on others.Quote:

AI Suite, any version refuses to install for me, even after I updated from 510 to 614...
When I reinstall windows I hope it will show all my temps and voltages :/
why can I not move or enter the FSB to move it up or down?
Press enter and type in the FSB u want per numblock.
guy i am having a problem, my graphic is only link at 1x :(.
what should i do, i reseat the card, and it links 16x, then i turn off and turn it on it return to 1x, it drive me nutty.
I flashed to the 711 bios.
Is this normal?
It was 16x and 16x at one time..
A bug in cpu-z or bios?
YEAH UH - I can't even press enter to enter it - enter does nothing NOTHING!!! ARGH!:mad:Quote:

I just wonder does this happened to other bios beside 711 if you go for really higher FBS?
Does setting the SATA drive work under AHCI mode give me any additional performance? and i mean installing the windows on the AHCI-enabled hard drive. compared to the IDE mode ofcourse

Is there a xp64 version?
nop it's asus probe : ) (green) other one is CPU-Z :X
0711 is the latest and 0706 is a beta. Us P5B mobo users don't have a higher version then that. You have the P5W.Quote:

I think most of you people flashing to 711 bios forgot to MANUALLY CLEAR THE CMOS afterwards. This is a MUST, which is why you're seeing these anomolies left over from older bios settings.
I have the 711 bios and have never seen this 1x PCI-E issue. I also cleared CMOS after a few cold boots. I have cold booted and restarted many times and so far nothing.
flashed to 711 also . all goes fine , and of course cold boot gone away :D
Guys does anyone know how should i wake up my mobo from bios corruption?I cleared cmos+turned off battery,but no luck.It happened when i tried to play with max fsb on boot.
if i cold boot my machine it is fine now :), it does not like warm boot very time i warm boot it chuck me back to 1x link :(.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
When I go past 360 FSB, my CPU scores go up as they should, but my 3DMark06 score goes way down (it's an ATI x1900 XT) This happens anywhere from 360 - 402
Any thoughts would be most helpful...
Same here with the 711 BIOS....oh thank heaven for 711 :DQuote:

all this freaking time I was wondering why my 3Dmark05 scores were a little low compared to the rest of you, and it was because I had THE WRONG slot installed on my X1900XT :brick:
I had it at 4x instead of 16x because I had installed it in the universal PCIe slot, and not the real primary 16x slot...LOL!
check it out now!!! Super stable, good temps, down from 3.38ghz (because temps were a little high for my liking):
http://upshizzle.com/gallery/albums/...d_PCIe_x16.jpg
:woot:
Bios 0711 ok here
Over clock to 400+ fsb, do a warm reboot and see if still says x16.
Ya not a problem with that it stays at x16 not a problem for me at least.Quote:

Also using various ram dividers.
Are you using 711 bios? if you are then you lucky.:D :DQuote:

Yup I am, just haven't updated my sig to show it. And im not pumping really much voltage at all into any of the chipsets. NB is 1.45V and FSB term is 1.4V SB is 1.5V and ICH is 1.0575V.Quote:

Trying to get better result on SuperPi. There are a competition on russian overclocking site and rules of this competition limiting CPU freq on 2700mhz.
But, i can bench on 2800 if one core will be disabled.
Anybody know why Windows reports 3.6Ghz while CPU-Z reports 3.2? I'm expecting 3.2 based on 401 FSB x 8 Multi..
What did you mean with "I had installed it in the universal PCIe slot, and not the real primary 16x slot.."?Quote:

Nothing works....Flash from EZFlash, AFUDOS, Asus Update....(new and old bios)! Clear CMOS with and without battery! Change NV drivers! Etc! I'm starting to think this is a BIOS chip problem! :upset:
EDIT:I only have this problem with OC on my CPU! If settings @ default (FSB, mem frequency), the PCIe bus is x16!:eek:
Any idea?
Well if people will be benching at 2.8Ghz it will be like cheating. because of course its going to be faster in SuperPI.Quote:

Thats simple windows isn't taking into account that you are running a 8x multi. It figures in just the 9x multi x the bus speed.Quote:

I'm going to the store and change this mobo! Then i will see if it happens again, with the new one!:(
have you tried LOWERING the PCIe? before you got dissambleing things, drop it to 96 or so, and try it again....Quote:

I figured my problem out - i needed to backspace out the prior numbers and type them back in! now easily stable at 3.2GHz and mem on 500MHz
For those who have the warm boot and pcie issue, don't you have the nb at 1.65v?
I have noticed this issue is coming only if i put 1.65v to the nb.
If i want to restart my system, I must stop my computer and restart it if i want to use it normally. If i restart it via windows, performance of pcie is really low.
With other voltage to the nb, no more issue at warm boot.
And over 400 mhz this board does not need a lot of voltage cause i am running it at 486 x 7, ram 1:1 @ 2.25v (4-4-4-4) with NB at 1.45v, FSB at 1.3v, SB at 1.5v and ICH at 1.057v
I reduce my PCIE Bus to 96 Mhz and my NB is reduce to 1.55, no more 1x link on warm boot :banana: :banana: :D .
You can try to put back PCIE Bus to 100 MhzQuote:

I posted a while ago about my P5W DH being Orthos stable at 3.94Ghz but some games (esp oblivion) will crash at anythig over 400FSB, 3.6Ghz.
Some games are just more taxing on the entire system with the graphics & processing than Orthos on its own is.
so if I want to disable the NCQ, then I just have to install my OS under the IDE mode? if so then good to know :banana:Quote:
