"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[tenax]

hey guys..not the first quad 9450 here with these boards, but maybe the first showing on the vanilla P5Q? this is completely stable, happy with all temps i'm seeing etc. can't take credit for the settings. they came from the guy on page 18, post 443. razor somebody (sorry) anyway thanks and i'm loving it. more stable than my ip35 pro and cooler for sure. (whoops..sorry about no pics before)

[zoob]

Before I go out and pick up a P5Q Deluxe, can someone confirm if the MOSFET mounting is the same size as on the Asus Maximus Formula?

Judging by the compatibility list of the HR-09, it looks like it. I have EK blocks that I'd like to reuse.

[Jupiler]

I think that in this topic, someone said that the HR-09 Type 2 fits.

[iboomalot]

what would cause during SuperPI to bounce around on CPU useage

shouldn't two instances of PI max out the CPU period ???

[Leeghoofd]

Sorry Guys,
How Can I see the dram voltage in windows?
and in the bios where is the voice of the PL (performance level)?

thanks

Only way to find out ram voltage is to use a digial multimeter, for ya PL question look for this in bios :

AI Transaction Booster: AUTO
Common Performance Level [12]

Where 12 is ya performance level ; to later manually plz set TB to Manual and set PL level yaself... (warning don't go to low as the system will NOT boot) mostly you can do 1-2 PL lower then AUTO setting


@Iboomalot

Did you set affinity for each SuperPI ?

[pmp]

Well funny thing i I lauched this no boot thing with 1.3NB voltage and now I cannot replicate it anymore...bummer...Pmp will eat me alive 4 sure...

miracles happened he ? ;-) during next few days eat only fresh vegetables, don't drink any alco!

Where do I find then ? under Advanced properties/vegetables in the bios ? You got mail sir ( regarding photos )

Ive got a P5Q Deluxe coming on Tuesday. Do you guys think I can get the same memory performance from my PC6400 DDR2 Ballistix running at 1000Mhz 4:4:4:10 PL:7 on my current Gigabyte P35-DS4 board?

Performance of current setup:

I think you will be close mate , but prolly top at PL 9 or so... at the moment P45 still is a tad slower, but hopefully some bios revisions further on we will be on par and have a higher FSB to play with... Hope the P5Q dlx will give ya some satisfaction... I haven't tested 500/1000 only 500/1200

Cheers bro, got a new e8400 coming too (not sure what revision but should be a newer one) and also got an Ultra 120 coming too

Will post results when i get it all together

[iboomalot]

setting affinity on the dual SuperPi helped some

core 0 small dips and the Core 1 a fewer dips but very deep down to 30% vs 85%

didn't crash which is good

[Kartoff]

Now i run Orthos with 540FSB/1080Mem 1:1 5-5-5-18 PL:13 with just 4x2GB sticks... I think i can push more high soon but i want to see when it will crash this time... CPU multiplier x7 = E8400@3780MHz/1,36v.

Yeah, I mentioned back on page three or four or somewhere around there that the type 2's lined up perfectly, no modification was necessary.

[JJU357]

So after a whole day of memtesting, I figured out two of my sticks of RAM are bad. Oh well guess I'll RMA them tomorrow. But with the other two sticks in, I can run them at 400MHz and 425MHz 4-4-4-12-2T and they both pass memtest fine, but I cannot get the computer prime blend stable at 8x400 or at 8*425. VCore is 1.3, LLC enabled, VFSB is 1.28, VNB is 1.34, VDRAM is 2.1. Anyone have any idea why it doesnt want to be prime blend stable? Should I give it more voltage on the FSB or NB?

[Leeghoofd]

Try each stick seperately and use OCCT RAM test... I have found memtest prety crappy with 2GB sticks...
Secondly what VID is that Q9450 ? do you need 1.3 volts for 3.2Ghz ? seems pretty high to me as my old Q6600 did that at 1.25volts...
Thirdly you are on which bios now ?
Fourthly : did you add TRFC 55 ? Tried loosening the timings to 5-5-5-15 ?

hy guys


this time i tested high multi... with stock cooler on chipset

Prommy on cpu

I'm running those settings right now through OCCT as suggested. Should I run for 1 hour or 2? And you think I should try each stick individually in OCCT? I ran them each individually in memtest86+ earlier and found 2 sticks would always error at SPD @ 400MHz and the other two would not, so I'm running OCCT now with the 2 good sticks in @ setting above?

EDIT: 0702 BIOS btw

[R@ptor =]]]

guys...i have one question..
Here in brazil, guys advised not to go 100mhz in the pci express...
i saw a lot of guys here, setting 101mhz or more..
Finally, what pci-e i frequency i need to set?

@ Crazy Inside
Nice results man!!!
how much voltage do you use in the northbridge and VTT???
thanks mate =]

[STaRGaZeR]

I've done a few measurements with my DMM. RAM overvolts by ~0.08v, with 2.00v selected in BIOS I get 2.08v in idle and 2.09v under load.

vNB set to AUTO and 500FSB puts 1.36v through the NB at idle, 1.37v under load.

vcore with LLC disabled has a quite large vdroop, ~0.03v. With LLC enabled, under load the board overvolts by 0.008v

BIOS 0702 BTW

I know for me that 110-115MHz causes the board not to boot using BIOS 0702. Whereas with my Maximus Formula I was able to boot and experienced no corruption with a PCIe frequency as high as 118MHz.

Yeah, I figured that the DRAM voltage overvolted the same as it did on the Maximus Formula which was 0.08-0.1V. Thanks for confirming.

[JJU357]

OK so, I cannot test each stick individually with OCCT since it requires over 1GB of FREE ram, which with vista is not possible. With the two supposed good sticks in (4GB), it fails a 2h RAM test within minutes....but it will pass the 1h blend test fine. Windows continues to work fine without BSODs or restarts, wondering wth is going on here. The ram test failure was at 4-4-4-12 timings which I remind you are the SPD rated timings @2.1V for these corsair sticks. I put all 4 sticks in just to try and it also failed the ram test within minutes. What to do from here?

I set 101 for PCIE just to not to be at 100 but also it is not overclock for PCIE i think Just realise that the other people do same

[aiya_au]

got this board today! just wondering if anyone has run into the problem of getting no video signal when more than 1 stick of ram is used?

i can only boot with 1 stick if i put two in, it doesn't work. i guess its a bios issue.

Drop Dram voltage to 2.0, set NB to 1.28 and set timings at 5-5-5-15 think we got a hard incompatability here with yet another set of Corsair ram
