ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

[sparks]

ninjagordy I feel your pain.
My 6400 went 420fsb 1:1 but high temps.
I lapped the heatsink....it was terrible. Now its 3C cooler
but I can't get anywhere... with it or a 6600

Its like I hit some magic settings and all was perfect.
NOW I can't get anything to work correctly. The 6400 won't go
over 350 and the 6600 runs all stock settings at 333 but won't do
anything over that...not even 334 with any setting.
Just my personal opinion but I think that asus choice of bios sucks
BIG TIME

I've got a similar problem and I think it's the memory.
running ocz 4200eb rev2's and I can't get anywhere past 240 large fft's in orthos even though it'll run for hours with small fft's

Are you sure you're at 1:1 RAM ratio?

Just forget about overclocking at all with another divider. It doesn't work at any speed except maybe 10mhz over stock.

seems like it's the ram not liking the board. dinos22 had the same problem with board and ram.
Just ordered some G.Skill 6400 HZ's which should hopefully fix it

[ninjagordy]

lads, just home from work...oh ..whats this in my hand....its 2gb G.Skill hz ddr 800.....let the fun commence..(fingers crossed!)

[sluzbenik]

I thought the consensus was NO module works with dividers yet. Has anyone gotten 4/5 to work at anything other than stock?

No go with Corsair TwinX 6400 (5-5-5-15).

[dinos22]

0609 bios will work with 4/5 divider

4:5 works fine....

[dr_sharp]

4:5 works fine....

4:5 does not work with 0507.

2:3 works fine with 0507.

[Brahmzy]

I'm on 0507 and CPU-Z shows 4:5.

[pcdoc1]

4:5 does not work with 0507.

2:3 works fine with 0507.

Is there a point to this... ?

got the subj, burned laetst bios (from 30/08/2006) - everything seem to be just fine.

the question is: I have Conroe ES (6600, 2.4Ghz, 4MB cache) + Zalman 9500 LED (2500 rpm all the time) and while trying to make ram:fsb ratio 1:1, I've set the ram frequency to 400 (800 effective) and cpu multplier to 8. (3.2Ghz)

cpu started up just fine - nothing was changed by me in voltage department - windows xp runned fine, but when checking CPU temperature I found it to be ... 85C ! incredible.. how the hell it was started at all ? why motherboard did not prevent it.

moreover, I've set multipler to be 6 - 2.4Ghz, same as default clock rate for that cpu. temperature dropped, but it still was 75C.

and think about it - I'm talking about cpu temperature under idle, no serious load applied...

ofc, I did reinstalled cooler to make sure its OK, no help.

default settings (266 -> 533, 2:3 ratio, 1066 to CPU, 800 to ram, 2.4Ghz) made CPU to be 40C all the time in idle.

I know ES are hotter since double cache and ... es but ... not THAT much ?!

[ninjagordy]

well lads......all is now good......


thank heavens for G.Skill HZ all my issues are well well gone

[aggybong]

New ram fixed me right up The OCZ guys have great support.


(Yea, it's not much, but before I couldn't go over 375. I can probably push it higher!)

I have a problem

day before my new PC come I installed windows XP SP2 on this configuration:

E6300
P5B Dlx wifi
2x512 533mhz kingmax
7600gt

and everything went perfectly but day later my problems started

I got this PC from sig and installed windows without any problems.I installed a few programs and it started to restart after 5-100 minutes after I boot windows. Sometimes he restarts when I'm not doing anything.

Everything is default and a littlebit later I flashed bios 0405.
I tried prime and when I start torture test after some time it shows: rounding was 0.5 expected less than 0.4


Please help

[aggybong]

Do any of you know where to manually read the actual Ram\CPU voltage on this motherboard? I have a DMM, I just don't know which points to use.

your cpu seems to be flawed.
Overclocked?

Try rise vcore one notch if that is the case.

or try another bios maybe 0507 should work for you.

I run memtest86 for 4 hours and no errors. But so far it is stabile. I flashed new 0609. Can somebody tell me where do I change multiplier? I used to have abit boards and their bios.

[Smartguy]

I smell stability

after I flashed with 0609 BIOS, prime is runing for an hour now.

before 10 minutes was limit.

EDIT: I think it is stabile now.

this is what I achive in last five minutes:

Smartguy,

What settings are you using? Would you mind sharing as I have the same set-up as you.
Thanks

[mkorpal333]

Hay guys, where are all the memory timing options in the bios? Oh, and I love this board so far. Everything is up and running and the hardest part was finding the disk with the drivers on it.

North Bridge configuration.

[Smartguy]

@Wizzo

Vmem= 1.385V
Vdimm= 2.1V
everything else= auto
speed spectrum= distabled
speed step= distabled

@mkorpal333
advanced>northbridge>and distable or enable something "SPD"

I'm so happy that everything is workin fine now. I will post results when I set up watercooling
