ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

[cdelong]

Any way to get rid of the CPU fan error when booting up? It forces me to press F1 to continue booting up. I don't have a fan on the CP header as I'm running WC'ing.

If there is a setting in the bios does anyone know what it is? I' running 804 bios.

Hi.
I just installed a new bios.. and was testing.
got it to boot at 530 Mhz fsb. then I just for the fun of it, tried 540.. but now it won't boot.. ..normally it just automatic detect a bad oc, and go to default settings.
I have tried to reset bios (for a couple of mins with jumper on clear cmos).
but nothing works.. no post, no beeps from system.. it worked before..
I didn't change any v settings.. only the fsb.

is my mb (against my thoughts) dead ?

ps. have tried to remove power, and battery for 30 secs.

Leave the computer off for a few minutes with the PSU off and unplugged. After about 5 minutes plug the PSU cord back in and turn the PSU on.

Now the important part...... hold the Insert key before you press the start- up button and keep it held down even after you press the start button.... It may not work the first time, but it will work the second

if your water cooled in the cpu section of the bios you check ignored box on the cpu fan speed.
If your after market cooler has a slower 120mm fan I believe you can change the fan speed minumum

Ok guys. What is the best memory for the P5B-Deluxe ??
Not too expensive and least number of compatibility problems ??

Thanks!

haven't really heard of any that didn't work good, anything with micron d9xxx should be fine.

It's watercooled- thanks.... I'll check that settings out next time I restart

[cdelong]

OK.... didn't find anything in the bios and the fan alarm still comes on when I cold boot- not on a restart though.

TIA

sorry
had a brain fart.
in the power tab of the bios section under hardware monitor youll find your cure

Hi .. I'd like to know if p5b del sets 1t or 2t ram timings by defaults. Is there any bios setting to get 1T?

Thank's

[vintage_guitar]

Default is 2T

I have this board, and I get THIS message at start up, and it hangs there untill you press a key or wait about 5 sec or so. Anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of that?

[TI66ER]

i dont think you can,it seems to be the jmicron controller reporting what dvd it has detected.

does it work ok in windows?

Why does this board double beep/start from a cold boot. (is this just a phase cooled thing?) I have a sense that it isn't providing enough default vdimm to boot reliably if your ram is conditioned to use higher voltage for a long period of time.

Just curious.
open up the mainboard tab of cpuz and see if it reports 1X pci ex width

edit; no it says link width x16 (pcei clock is set at 110)

[xgman]

new asus utilities for Vista are posted today in the downloads

Strange
I take it that it’s not a post error beep but an initialization rest.
Perhaps it is your cooling

[jimmyz]

changing strap on nb causes double boot. normal for this board.

[kwalker]

I havent experienced that problem.
maybe my boards not normal

[Inteleron]

Just sold my P5B-DLX, and am in the market for a new board. Does the Giga-DS3 aslo suffer from this strap crap? or the eVGA 680i? which would be the better choice?

[jirii]

Default is 2T

O.K and can you tell me with which setting in BIOS I make 1T ? thx

It's impossible...

Hey guys. this is my first post here. I switched from a p5dh to a p5b and this baord is much better. running ocz flex Xlc ram (there new liquid cooled stuff)...Fsb 530...Mem 1.1 x6800 at 3.7 and all is good. Running 2 raptors in raid0 And all is good. Just wish i could get little more fsb so i can run mem at its rated speed of 1150 but 530 fsb is damn good i guess.

[JoeBar]

Is there a fix for the slow bios when having a 8800 vga? It's really annoying...

[saiaku]

Remove your PCI X-Fi card during install.

You know, I think this might work. Thx for the tip~
You wouldn't happen to know why this happens would you...
