"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[IronAge]

Somebody willing to share the 0604 Alpha Bios for the P5Q Deluxe ?

[Leeghoofd]

Alpha Bios are not shared mate, untill full testing is done and they enter Beta stage... you can damage ya board testing one of these... one of the reasons they are not distributed just like that...

I got the 0302 and 0506 bios on the FTP :

I'm interested in seeing how C1 9450s and 9550s will do with this board...
Right now its
P5K-VM HDMI vs P5Q.

[Leeghoofd]

Not sure what memory to go with. Any suggestions??

Buy at least decent PC8000 Ram, think you will have to settle for a 450-475ish FSB 24/7... this way you are sure the ram won't limit ya OC...

I can recommend Gskill PC8000PQ 4gb and Mushkin Redline PC8000 4Gb kit... both work fab on this Mobo... and even OC to 1066/1081Mhz just like that...

In the long run P5Q Dlx will be the better board for sure... better PWM and better component choice... It took my Qx for a first time to 500FSB Suicide shot and even 485FSB prime stable...

@Leeghoofd

I got memory issues with my 4GB Geil Esoteria Rev.1

And i read the 0604 solves some of them. Thats why i am asking for it.

It wont be spread/uploaded just be used to solve the darn memory prob i got.

So if sb could send it to ironage@email.de it would be appreciated very much.

(I wouldnt post my email adress if it wasnt important)

Can mods tell why he changed topic name, thanks

[Jupiler]

What was changed then? I didn't change anything, but the title sounds good to me.

[Leeghoofd]

Wouldn't it be better to have it called "the Official P5Q Dlx thread" sponsored by Jupiler and Duvel

P5E-VM HDMI's have been to 525 with C1 42nm quads..

Regardless I think this will be a better board too.

Ordered Board Friday, Should be here Tuesday evening (As tracking on FedEx).
Anyone tried the Q9450 with this board? I'll be interested in BIOS settings to OC the Q9450. I'm coming from a P5W DH/E6420 setup and the BIOS seems to have changed a lot!!

@ Lee : Will your QX9650 settings work with my Q9450 for OC'ing
I'll be installing OCZ Platinum Edition PC2-8000 1000MHz DDR2 4GB (2X2GB) Dual Channel Kit.

Thanks!

Somebody removed **OFFICIAL** from the name of the topic

I'll drink a tripple Leffe to that.


I can rename it to "the official ASUS P5Q (P45) thread", if that's ok with you guys?
Naming all 7 ASUS P45 board names in 1 topic title would be a little to much, IMO.

Where and when do you drink ? Proud to be a Belgian Topic title is BigJoe's thing : he started this thread... so he has all the copyrights !

[BigJoe]

OK, can you rename topic to ASUS P5Q Delexe discussion?

[STaRGaZeR]

I vote for one thread per board too, so this one ASUS P5Q Deluxe only

[velvet44]

Leeghoofd,
much thanks for the recommendation... I will probably pick one of those 2 pairs up- guess I will go with the GSkill for now as they are a bit more affordable.

I like that suggestion, it would make things less confusing and more on topic as different variations of this board are released.

Leeghoofd, can you stay on top of the Beta BIOS situation for us--at least for as long as you can--since it seems you have an inside view of things?

[AMD_Freak]

what would be the better choice the DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) or the DDR2 1000 (PC2 8000) in 4GB (2 x 2GB) config?

[TouGe]

Either DDR2 will do, as long as they're G.Skill with D9GMH.

Now Jupiler, can we get this guy's member's name changed please?

I'm thinking of crossing the road to see if you Intel guys are all that hoping in a week or two everyone has this board figured out So I can see if I can force a Phenom in the 775 socket a few extra pins should'nt hurt, if not ill have to try one of those funny looking E8400 Wolfdale things thanks for the reply guys the boards looking better each day. kind of been waiting to see the new ATI GPUs cant give intel all my green.

[STaRGaZeR]

There are no 2x2GB kits using D9GMH. They all use Powerchips with some exceptions, like the Crucial Ballistix Tracer Red DDR2-800 kit.

[-n7-]

This is looking very good to me.

But i have a couple questions on this mobo...

What is max user defined tRFC in the bios?
Leeghoofd, you are showing 55, that's set from bios, right?
How much higher does it go?

And tRD aka Performance Level, any chance you can tell me what the lowest is for 350 MHz FSB?
tRD 7 @ 400 MHz isn't bad, but i have 10x multi...more interested in tRD at lower FSBs like ~350 (i can do tRD 5 on this DFI).

Also, Leeghoofd, i'd love to know if you can pass HCI Memtest (four instances to use all 8 GB) with all 8 GB.

This DFI is garbage for tweaking 8 GB.
Only ratio i can run stably is 2:3...anything else craps out with 8 GB.

Thanx muchly.

Nasgul, all im seeing is the G.Skill or Muskin 1gb sticks with the D9GMH chips unless im missing something on the list in either (PC 8000 ) or the (PC 8500) looks like the 2x2mb kits are D9GKX any difference in them? http://ramlist.ath.cx/ddr2/

EDIT: I think if found the answer

D9GMH : 333MHz C5 1.8V Micron certified
D9GKX : 400MHz C5 1.8V Micron certified : its looking like D9GKX are better for high frequency with lower timings

And back to the Board... anyone got the E8400 over 500 stable yet?

[velvet44]

AMD Freak and Nasgul,
Correct me if I'm wrong but I have heard that the GSkill 8000 is not D9 Micron but Power Chips- not sure about the 8500 tho.

You are correct ...the PC8500 is D9 micron

This thread is for the Asus P5Q Deluxe MB

Sorry I got off topic Now where are those OCs on this beautiful board
