Hi, i've tried to flash P5E(X38 DDR2) => Rampage Formula (X48 DDR2) and P5E3 Deluxe (X38 DDR3) => P5E3 PREMIUM (X48 DDR3) and it works fine, if flashed with Maximum Extreme it works but give some boot errors (IRQ, Temperature issues). Later i will post some photos ;)
Can you tell me how you flash it please? Im trying to flash my P5E with 0207 rampage BIOS downloaded from Asus but it failed with both EZ FLASH and Floppy with Afudos. Is there some special way? Thank you.
Just type: afudos /iROM /pbnc /nQuote:

i was thinking about buying the deluxe to flash to premium myself, but not sure it's worth the risk atm... :shrug:
i really need a new ddr3 motherboard :(
Probably because he hasn't used /pbnc or even PCB revision no the same...
I can confirm the P5E3 Dlx to P5E3 Premium mod works. I'm using afudos 2.29es.
My P5E3 Dlx's PCB version is 1.03G.
Yup right, same here... It works and performance enhacements are noticed. It's the same board same chip, i've compare it with ASUS X48 Premium same thing, pure ASUS marketing. Upgrading X38 to X48 = BIG MISTAKE, it's a fact. Others manufacters like GIGABYTE and DFI works the same way, get BIOS from X38 and voilá.Quote:

Same here. Maybe a new bios solve the problem ;)Quote:

Which P5E3 Premium bios, 0151 or 0204?
hmm definitely interesting stuff heh :)

Fortunately, my E8400 can run 3.0GHz@0.99 without problem, so I can enter into bios, set vcore properly. While others may encounter no boot problem, if his chip cannot run stock speed at ~1.00v vcore. That may explain this mod works for somebody, but doesn't work for others.Quote:

Is sub-zero performance better? Fewer problems?
Just flashed my P5E3 Deluxe & now mobo dead! Due to I think the lack of Vcore! Now need to get Vcore mod done
You can try a diferent CPU, and flash it to P5E3 DLX again....Quote:

In that case... :shrug: It's quite strange P5E detects X48 Chip in all programs but P5E3 DLX => Premium still detects X38.Quote:

Yes, all mem settings available on P5E3 Premium will be available after mod, as well as CPU GTL Rel for 0/2&1/3...Quote:
