ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

don't go on what others say works for them..every cpu, mobo and memory are different in performance...if you need juice, let it have it....don't be afraid to increase voltage....very short term is not going to hurt you!

ok so i enabled intel raid and set up the RAID1 mirror went back to bios to make sure it boots from my single drive where the OS is (Not on Raid) DONE >> Restart >> Crashes on that Windows startup with the bars

any ideas

Hi dinos22
I have the exact same problem, I have 1x raptor with my OS and 2x250Gb RAID1 Hitachi Deskstar set up raid1 and restart to boot into windows and crashes on the window scroll bar screen

Like yourself disabling raid boot into window try to install the Intel driver and it want let me either,

Did you get it sorted or did you reinstall the OS?

damn man

so did you install those raid drivers in the initial F6 install? >>>> cause i didn't

i've tried absolutely every suggestion and nothing helped

i guess i'll reinstall but would be good if you can answer my question

This is an issue not really related to overclocking but I used my WD 74GB Raptor as my boot drive. When I put the windows install disk in, i began a full format. At the end of the format it gave an error somewhere along the lines of: "Format failed, SCSI drive not properly terminated." There were no termination jumpers on the board nor hdd so I swapped sata cables and tried again and all is well now. I had an old sata cable that worked fine with my old AXP system but form some reason i had to use the asus sata cables for the drive to be recognized.

Well, mark me up as another one who can't run stable at 320-400.

I tried 400, it failed, but I said, well, let's just try something > 400.

So I booted to 405 on auto settings and just finished 32m Super Pi. the mobo set itself to 1.55v, ouch!

Unfortunately temps are too hot for this overclock. All I want is a working 2700-2800mhz for daily use. Is that too much to ask Asus?

What's really ironic is this is faster than my PIV 2.4c, which I could never get over 3100 successfully.

Do you have an E6300/E6400? All of these type of stories I've read have been with the 2mb chips, NOT the 4mb ones.

the cable could have a cracked head and therefore making poor contact with the pins on either end...or...the cable is just breaking down.

**sluzbenik** · 08-31-2006, 07:43 AM

Yup, I have an e6400. I'm pretty sure Asus still hasn't fixed the memory issues, as everyone knows anything but 1:1 ratio doesn't work over 300FSB either. Small FFT test with Orthos is fine at FSBs of 320-400. Memtest also ran fine at those speeds.

**Kashath** · 08-31-2006, 09:05 AM

The 0609 beta BIOS fix the 4/5 divider issue but once you get over 400 fsb the memory timings change and it ends up limiting memory bandwidth.

edit: I meant 4/5 divider...

NO mate i'm in the same boat looks like installing windows again and install the driver the F6 way, i thought i could install the driver in windows and add raid1 after but no luck!!!!!!

**dr_sharp** · 08-31-2006, 11:46 AM

Fellas (and ladies?)

Using the 2:3 divider with fsb in the mid to high 300s ( =DDR1000+) I no longer get the strange "reboot twice" issue. When i restart, it is a "normal" restart.

I think the weird restarts are caused by the 1:1

[edit] and as soon as I posted this, it did the weird restarts again... this happened at 2:3 fsb = 385, ddr1155

**ninjagordy** · 08-31-2006, 11:50 AM

lads, i need urgent help.

i sold my badaxe and bought this...now....on the bad axe my e6400 es (step 4 rev b0) biffed out at 3.26 ghz but i cant get it to overclock at all on this board...its got the 0607 bios and will run fine at stock but as soon as i play it goes berserk...wont boot and wont go to bios, there must be something im missing. my ram is generic 1gb x 2 ddr 667 that was running at 1067mhz fsb on the bad axe at 2.2v no problem so im sure its not a speed related issue on the ram.....

can someone point me to a thread with all the settings or give me there settings and i can check them against mines.....

need help urgently..... power supply etc is not an issue and im on water....

cheers

Gordy!

anyone else getting bios locks when trying to save vcore voltage changes? I'm having this on 0507.

After hitting F10 and then enter, the bios just freezes. Sometime I can cut the power and boot and everything will be fine (and settings changed) and other times i have to reset cmos.

**Rattle** · 08-31-2006, 12:36 PM

my bios locks when I try to do 500fsb although I only tried it 1:1 I know my ram is good for 522 at least.

0609 has given me best results so far I have gotten 3.2 prime stable at 400x8 with 4:5's and 356x9 with 4:5's ram at 445 with 4-4-4-12 timings is faster than 400x8 with 500 ram and 5-4-4-12 timings in 1m at least

**ninjagordy** · 08-31-2006, 12:49 PM

i will try 0609 and see what happens...

The only time I get a bios freeze while trying to save settings is when I try to save and exit while in the hardware monitor sub menu. It'll make the changes but won't ever reboot so i'll manually have to turn off the computer and turn it back on.

On a side note why isn't this thread a sticky yet. We need some P5B loving.

**ninjagordy** · 08-31-2006, 01:02 PM

link for 0609 bios anyone plz?

**Kashath** · 08-31-2006, 01:22 PM

0609 BIOS Here : http://www.iamxtreme.net/andre/P5B-ASUS-Deluxe-0609.rar

There's a thread discussing them here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=113866

**ninjagordy** · 08-31-2006, 01:27 PM

thanks...not happening with that either...im going to fire my e6600 in and see what happens...

help me please...

Gordy!

**day187** · 08-31-2006, 02:22 PM

yes i get the bios locks 7/10 when going over 500fsb

**ninjagordy** · 08-31-2006, 02:59 PM

AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHH!

**dinos22** · 08-31-2006, 06:24 PM
