With same BIOS and config ? wtf happens with this mobo then?

No idea, my vdimm voltage has also changed between bios flashes, it overvolted 0.09v to start with, and after perhaps 15 flashes it was 0.02v under bios set value. It changed everytime I flashed it. My board is weird.

ive tried every bios, all have this bug.
im currently running Ket's m1306.

ive tried 501/1203, and a ton of other combinations above 1200, tried jumping to 1278 as someone mentioned that worked for them, but still no go.

lower fsb combinations for 1200ddr, no go.

its as if its completely locked out, or non-existant.

Ket's mBios replaces the entire memory table, youd think that would fix it, but no. it must be locked out somewhere else, there is no reason why this board cant do 1200+DDR

Hey that was me, I did get it to post between 1278 and 1316 but wouldn't load windows, then set 1317 and I could even bench it, same with 1333, but nothing else. Now nothing at all over 1199 works.

I have also tried all bioses, all FSB/Divider combos, straps, you name it I've tried it. I'm done. This board's going back where it came from.

Where did u get those ddr2 1333 sticks and how much? Here in my country can´t buy anything above 1100.

[Alex-Ro]

I don't quite think they are officially rated at 1333,though i saw some team-groups at over 1200

[Martin.v.r]

#3534 look here 2.3V Cellshock PC8000 cl4

[RBS]

So noone can reach 1200 or above with this mobo stable?

[Leeghoofd]

Luckily not all have these issues mate... most of the boards run pretty awesome but there are exceptions to the rule... I have one E that's a total pos... from stock bios to modified bios nothing changes... 1200mhz ram on my Dlx hasn't been a problem at all : not at 500FSB neither at 600FSB, 1200Mhz ram is no issue... sadly it's not for Cryptik...

[RBS]

Ok, I´m glad to read that.

What about the BIOSs? Which one would u recommend me with the Q6600? I´ve read about quad problems with BIOS above 0803. I was with 0803 but after some bad temps reads and higher temperatures I´m on 1201 with margin in performance which seems to work fine. Look this read with 0803. Would be great to have these temps ^^ .




Another thing that I saw with last BIOS was that while with 0803 I got 495*7 3dmark and superpi stable with 1360 was impossible enter windows at same fsb. That´s why I turned back to 0803 but like I comment that one doesn´t work fine for me either.

setFSB is able to set 500/1200, why cant the bios?

[Alex-Ro]

Strange issue indeed,my card also garbage.with latest bios i can reach 580 only,i will excahnge ASAP with a DFI P45

They're not DDR2-1333 sticks, they're 1066's but they overclock to 1333 easily.

So noone can reach 1200 or above with this mobo stable?

Oh no, everyone seems to have no problems with the deluxe except me. You just dont see many people doing it as hardly anyone has ram that's capable of that, or will push that hard.

Luckily not all have these issues mate... most of the boards run pretty awesome but there are exceptions to the rule...

That screenie is torture for me, I would love to be able to do that

setFSB is able to set 500/1200, why cant the bios?

That really is weird, I haven't tried setFSB on mine. I just want another board, if it won't do it from bios, something is really wrong, and they should replace my board.

[truehighroller]

I'm happy with my setup,



I can get the 1200 on these but, it is not stable and it takes 2.4v,

[Runkett]

So noone can reach 1200 or above with this mobo stable?

Yeah most people have no problems with 1200 (if they have the ram/will to try) - my rams stock speed is 1200 and I never had any grief. One of my four sticks did die last week (and is now away for RMA) but Im pretty sure that was just bad Kharma and not related to the board.

I have been able to to run it faster than 1200, but for daily use I dont bother, the ram is already working pretty hard on the 500 FSB.

[RBS]

Ok, thx for the info guys.

Another question, could anyone with 65nm talk me about BIOS 0604. I´ve heard is the best for ocing these cpus due to lower vPLL and vNB at high FSB.

[BeastNotro]

Ok whats the best 1200 ram to use on the P5Q Deluxe mobo?

[CryptiK]

My Teams go well, you saw my 1333 MHz Everest bench, also Martin V.R's cellshocks did very well too. I suppose you want D9's? If not, look for some G.Skill PSC based ram (think it was PC9200 or 9600), can't remember what model off the top of my head but it hit 1200 at around 2.0 - 2.1v.

Well I have ordered my M2F and have arranged to RMA my P5Q-D, so here's hoping I have better luck with the new mobo.

[Alex-Ro]

Gskill 9600,but they are 4 gb and also not so cheap now

[RBS]

About memories I think I will buy new sticks when really DDR3 arrive with nehalem and I can get good frequency with low timings DDR2; with these Redline I can wait.

And btw, what max memory freq. have u seen with this mobo?

[kiikkuja]

Is this correct? Does it apply for instance to bios 1306?

I'd really like this to be to true as it would allow me to gain some clocks because I wouldn't want to go over 1.375 vcore real LLC enabled.

Anyone who could measure the real vcore LLC enabled with MM? I'm currently with 1306 BIOS.
It would be great to know what the real vcore is and not just trust what BIOS etc. says. Is it possible to measure?

[ThugsRook]

That really is weird, I haven't tried setFSB on mine. I just want another board, if it won't do it from bios, something is really wrong, and they should replace my board.

i dont like to use setFSB either but i just wanted to see what my mem can do. i was able to bench 1275ddr but it failed 1300, using the same settings i use @ 1199. benchmark results scaled normally.

i didnt bother with seriouos stress testing.

the 400 strap ratios were unstable past 1199, 333s worked fine, some 266s worked fine some didnt.

What about overvolts with lasts BIOSes (1201 & 1306) of PLL, vFSB, vDIMM and vNB? Could anyone with multimeter resume them plz?

[JohnLoph]

my P5Q DLX

> 1201
vDimm overvolt 0.10V

> 1306
vDimm overvolt 0.11V


for PLL, vFSB, vNB i'm not probe it >_<"

Uugh after some holidays and other foreign trips, getting back to update you from my magic box. I bet those were not shown yet:

ASUS P5Q Deluxe BIOS build 1402
ASUS P5Q BIOS build 1307

[BeastNotro]

What does 1402 Bios do ?? for P5Q deluxe?
