Hi, i've tried to flash P5E(X38 DDR2) => Rampage Formula (X48 DDR2) and P5E3 Deluxe (X38 DDR3) => P5E3 PREMIUM (X48 DDR3) and it works fine, if flashed with Maximum Extreme it works but give some boot errors (IRQ, Temperature issues). Later i will post some photos
Can you tell me how you flash it please? Im trying to flash my P5E with 0207 rampage BIOS downloaded from Asus but it failed with both EZ FLASH and Floppy with Afudos. Is there some special way? Thank you.
Just type: afudos /iROM /pbnc /nOriginally Posted by Gribo
Afudos version matters.

i was thinking about buying the deluxe to flash to premium myself, but not sure it's worth the risk atm...
i really need a new ddr3 motherboard
i950 (3035B684)
Gigabyte EX58A-UD3R
3x4GB G.Skill PC3-12800 7-8-7-24

Asus Xonar DX
128GB C300, Velociraptor & Sammy F3's
Corsair AX850W
Windows 7 Ultimate x64 SP1
Probably because he hasn't used /pbnc or even PCB revision no the same...
I can confirm the P5E3 Dlx to P5E3 Premium mod works. I'm using afudos 2.29es.
My P5E3 Dlx's PCB version is 1.03G.

Yup right, same here... It works and performance enhacements are noticed. It's the same board same chip, i've compare it with ASUS X48 Premium same thing, pure ASUS marketing. Upgrading X38 to X48 = BIG MISTAKE, it's a fact. Others manufacters like GIGABYTE and DFI works the same way, get BIOS from X38 and voilá.

The only problem after mod is, the vcore range changed from 0.85v-1.70v for P5E3-Dlx to 1.25v-2.10v for P5E3-P. So after mod, I need set 1.55v vcore to get ~1.20v in bios hardware monitor.

Same here. Maybe a new bios solve the problem
P5E3 Premium has a jumper, enable it will allow vcore up to 2.1v. While P5E3 Dlx has no such jumper. Maybe after mod, bios think the jumper is enable, so vcore range changed to 1.25-2.10v.

I flashed from p5e3 dlx 1109 bios to p5e3 premium 0151, then upgrade to 0204 via ez-flash.

Yes, I can flash back to P5E3 Dlx using afudos 2.29es.

So basically, after mod to p5e3 premium bios 0204, the board boot my E8400@3.0GHz at default vcore, which is 1.2250v, resulting a 0.99v vcore real. Fortunately, my E8400 can run 3.0GHz@0.99 without problem, so I can enter into bios, set vcore properly. While others may encounter no boot problem, if his chip cannot run stock speed at ~1.00v vcore. That may explain this mod works for somebody, but doesn't work for others.P5E3 Premium has a jumper, enable it will allow vcore up to 2.1v. While P5E3 Dlx has no such jumper. Maybe after mod, bios think the jumper is enable, so vcore range changed to 1.25-2.10v.

for the ppl who have tried the P5E3 Deluxe subzero and have now flashed to P5E3 premium BIOS-
Is sub-zero performance better? Fewer problems?

Sometimes, it's not your time. Sometimes, you have to make it your time. Sometimes, it can ONLY be your time.
Just flashed my P5E3 Deluxe & now mobo dead! Due to I think the lack of Vcore! Now need to get Vcore mod done
You can try a diferent CPU, and flash it to P5E3 DLX again....
Only got a qx9650 at the moment so i'm stuffed at the moment!
In that case...It's quite strange P5E detects X48 Chip in all programs but P5E3 DLX => Premium still detects X38.
That is strange!!! Maybe the bios recognises something that doesn't match up?In that case...
Does this flash I preformed add the extra mem settings?
Yes, all mem settings available on P5E3 Premium will be available after mod, as well as CPU GTL Rel for 0/2&1/3...
