"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[Leeghoofd]

This board has bad mojo. I finally got stable with 4 gigs of Cellshock @ 425MHz, 400 FSB Strap @ 1133MHz 5-5-5-15-42 yesterday, prime ran for a little over 4 hours

Prime Blend ? I prefer to use OCCT 2H ram test to verify the settings... might be ya PL is also a tad too low for those speeds, NB voltage to low for those settings, TRFC... one dimm capping out,...could be some many things...

[Chri$ch]

@ Leeghoofd

Prime Small FFTs seems to be no problem with 600FSB @ 1.42v NB voltage...

[aussie-revhead]

sorry guys,
I have a dfi dk p35 with a raid0 on ich9r
On monday i will receive a p5q deluxe (ich10r), I will lost my raid0?

thanks

I saw someone else made the swap and their raid0 array survived with a driver update.

Chri$ch: what is your settings in bios? It's an amazing FSB you get. I've currently writing a review of this board, and have not so much more time to tweak and search for the best settings, so you would help me alot if you came with some tips.

I guys.

I Ricieved my P5Q Deluxe yesterday... everything on AIR

After several minutes, having connected board achieve this result

Leave at first all voltage options on AUTO (except Vcore and Ram voltage)
NB 1.2 will be enough
FSB Term Voltage : 1.3
CPU PLL : 1.6

But it can all be different with each CPU... try one setting at a time, if it posts test it thoroughly then adjust another setting... if you set them all at one time you won't find the bad setting if it doesn't post...

For the ram better go with 1:1 then so 450FSB will provide 900Mhz ram...

Thanks for the help man!
1.6 for cpu pll it's not much to 450fsb??
900mhz for the ram is very little, I wanted a higher frequency
Anyone having problems with crucial on this board??
I'm afraid to happen with the same has happened with x38!

these settings should allow it to post and be stable for sure, if the CPU doesn't need it better for you and back down...

Think I've found my 24/7 settings for the E8500... 1.3125 in Bios set for Vcore drop to a nice steady 1.28 under load...(again a gain in comparison with the P5K Dlx where I needed 1.29 to be stable)

Yes, Prime Blend. I use OCCT as well but mostly Prime Blend if I really want to know I am stable long term and, so far, I am 7.5 hours stable @ 1.24V 400FSB Strap/1066MHz. I will test 1.22V when I get home this morning.
I have tested each 2x1GB kit and each set was able to reach 450FSB. They passed MemTestPro but failed Prime95.
I'm sure if I raised the PL I could pass at a lower NB voltage, that is a given, but with Ai Clock Twister already set to moderate I don't want to lose anymore performance if I can help it. I will keep testing until I figure this out....

very very nice ,can't wait till Monday

[hellcamino]

I've come to the conclusion that I'm doing something wrong here . No matter what I try I cannot get a POST over 450 fsb , 450 runs prime fine and 460 , 475 , 500 = no POST . Using the same X3360 and a 780i I was getting into vista @ 3.992ghz but no higher and prime wouldn't even run , it ran at 3.88ghz prime stable for about 5 days before the board died . I'm using latest bios from Asus site , any help would be great .

Great result, what settings in BIOS did you have?

How are you guys getting your PL level in windows? I cannot get memset3.5 to work on this motherboard. I get a "NOT FOR THIS CHIPSET" error.

Does someone have a new version of memset or something?

As for my overclocks, this is much better than my P5K Premium or Maximus Formula.

P5K Premium has better PL levels and memory performance IMO.

Current overclock, completely stable (PRIME95, blend,small,large). I can get the same settings on both my P5K Premium and Maximus with lowest voltages on all three. The maximus however would not let me run my 4x1GB KingstonHyperX 8500 @ 1066, the P5K & P5Q not a problem. Also notice that I'm running at the lowest voltages for every section, I was in fact able to boot in Vista and run benches @ 550FSB with a voltage bump only on the RAM @ 1.9.

You are on 0702 Bios I hope

[hellcamino]

Alpha bios causes puckering of back door...How close to full build are they ? Do they appear to be reliable and stable ?

[Leeghoofd]

How are you guys getting your PL level in windows? I cannot get memset3.5 to work on this motherboard. I get a "NOT FOR THIS CHIPSET" error.

Does someone have a new version of memset or something?

Version 3.5 works fine here on XP PRO and XP PRO 64, you on Vista ?

Pm Hellcamino

[]siNNer[]

Memtest 3.5 is working fine in vista 32b.

This chipset is awesome, 500fsb with mems 5:6 1200 @ only 1.16vNB, blend stable. Still cant get to 600fsb but i've found my 24/7 settings

[R@ptor =]]]

This is stable??
can you test a 450fsb and diferent frequency of 900mhz for me???

[]siNNer[]

Here it is, 8.5x500 1.16vNB:



What multiplier do you want me to use in the 450fsb test?

[R@ptor =]]]

8x mate!
more frequency than 900mhz to memorys plz!
thanks!

[chispy]

I received mine yesterday and its dead today , i was trying very hard for max fsb for validation and a quick aquamark bench E8400 under Dice at 602 FSB and 8800Ultra Under Dice 902/2248Mhz , then bum it crashed and never posted again , back to RMA on monday asap.

450fsb 1:1 can't get lower than PL 10 at least with this settings, other than that no boot. 450fsb 5:6 is easy with PL 7.

[R@ptor =]]]

Wow...thanks a lot mate!
