I tested the stock 2002m bios for the P5Q-Pro, IBT still fails before 8 hours I had to bump the core voltage up 2 notches with this Q6600, Asus definitely changed certain parameters that forced this,...
Early report; running 6GB using identical settings as with 1613m bios, bios 2002 fails IBT with Q6600 @3.4GHz, might be the different memory table that made it fail unless Asus changed something else.
Good work Ket!, I too have the A3 revision of the P5Q Pro board, currently running a Q6600 @3.4GHz with 1.4v on air (could probably do 3.6GHz-3.8GHz or more on water), tested with Intel Burn Test...
Yes it can make a huge difference on stability, the higher the PSU voltage fluctuation the more voltage you have to pump into the components to compensate for the voltage drops.
The PSU you have...
Try 9x 333MHz FSB first should be able to do that with default voltage, or maybe even lower than stock vcore, higher CPU clocks is preferable over just a higher FSB.
If you can, wait for the dual core Atom laptops, the IGP will get updated and nvidia's small scale Atom based ION platform (much better IGP) might find its way into the laptop market.
The quad isn't the bottleneck in your system, its the video card (the 512MB on it to be precise, you want 1GB) considering your displays native resolution, even a dual core C2D @3.2GHz is more than...

You might want to try the modded 1613m mbios for the P5Q Pro by Ket (thread below), compared with the deluxe and premium boards the stock bioses are crippled to hell with far fewer memory tables etc,...
That's impressive indeed, you got a superb sample that rivals 45nm quads!
Do you reckon adding the missing MOSFET heatsink (like the enzotech copper one) on the P5Q Pro board is worthwhile?
The other P5Q boards including the vanilla P5Q, Deluxe and Premium all have...
Push should be better.
Do you guys think it would be worthwhile to buy the Enzotech MST-81 heatsink and add it to the bare P5Q Pro MOSFETs, it strange that all the other P5Q boards including the cheaper vanilla P5Q all...
Yes, the bottleneck even with a stock Q6600 is the disk, maybe two SSD in performance RAID mode might help a little... :shrug:
Yes MANY times faster than even a superclocked i7 ;)
The software needs to be optimised to take advantage of the GPU, at the moment I don't see much encoding software taking advantage of...
The built-in asus bios flasher works fine with the modded bios, just burn all the bios images onto a disc, reboot into bios and flash, power down and clear CMOS after successful flash.
You can burn the bios file onto a CDRW disc, use the built in flasher in the bios.
While lower multipliers isn't useless, I think what he means is the higher clocks achieved using the stock multiplier with lower FSB is faster than lower clocks but high FSB, overall higher clocks...
There is a modified P5Q Pro 1613m bios by Ket a few threads below this one, 410FSB should be straightforward... ;)
I got the same "dud" later batch chip as you, could only manage 3.4GHz @1.4v vcore (high temps), 3.2GHz needed 1.3v temps at full load running Intel Burn Test 61C~, Prime95 full load <50C~.
3.6GHz...
Nothing wrong with buying them off ebay, personally I would only buy them brand new in sealed retail box.

8GB GSkill PC8000 on MSI P45 Plat. @500MHz 5-5-5-15 2T 2.1v, could probably go higher.
The registry tweaks increases the overall ram usage (system cache) and loads the entire system kernel onto memory, don't do it if you have less than 4GB of ram and/or run a 32bit O/S.
