"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[Leeghoofd]

You guys are mixing up 1Gb and 2gb sticks... I can heartly recommend the 4GB kits but will test the 2GB kit next week (those are Microns for sure) they should be able to get me up to 1200mhz 5-5-5-15 for sure...

Will try some stuff N7, but eg if you want 3.6Ghz it's better overall to do it with a lower multi as you increase the bandwith of the ram and on the cores...

Bios TRFC options for 4gb kits : 55-60-70-80-85-105-132

N7 I booted with 350FSB and 8GB PC8000 Ram at 1053 : Bios set AUTO perf level at 8, manual I could go to 6 lowest.

Bandwith test 3.5ghz - 350FSB -RAM 1053Mhz - Perf level 6



Compare it with CPU at 3.6Ghz - 400FSB -RAM 1066Mhz - Perf Level 7

READ 8540 - Write 8481 - COPY 8684 - Latency 62.5ns

I would seriously go for 400FSB on this board... till maybe a newer bios gives a lower performance level...

HCI Test 4 instances 8GB Ram Perf Level 6



Couldn't set more than 1000 as the program wouldn't allow me to allocate more (maybe WinXP64 limitation , no idea)

Transcend aXeRam DDR2 1066 CL5 2x2GB should be D9GMH

[Leeghoofd]

Any idea on the 4gb 1150 OCZ Flex II Joe ? as they seem to do 1200mhz on our board according a review I saw...

[BigJoe]

RamList tell Powerchip... I think it's true, OCZ use same chips on ReaperX 2x2GB.

[NIZ]

Someone hurry up & test q9450/9550 with this board pls. Want to see if the 440/450fsb wall is gone from the old P35 boards.

[shine121]

P5Q DLX are nice board,expecting for the new bios to free my board

[STaRGaZeR]

Transcend aXeRam DDR2 1066 CL5 2x2GB should be D9GMH

AFAIK D9GMH are 512bit chips, so it's impossible to get 2GB in one module. If they are Micron they're not D9GMH. The same goes to D9GKX, just a higher binned D9GMH.

[BigJoe]

Or maybe D9HBD, like mushkin...

[-n7-]

Thanx very much Leeghoofd...you've given me reason to consider buyng this mobo once they arrive in Canada!

[-n7-]

Or maybe D9HBD, like mushkin...

All current DDR2 EM2/HP2/XP2 Mushkin is Powerchips, unless you are referring to their very old 2x2 GB kits, which haven't been sold for a long time.
They ususually were D9GSV, though D9HBD was in the old HP2 kit apparently.

An FYI: basically every decent 2x2 GB DDR2 kit uses Powerchips.
The Crucial Ballistix 2x2 GB DDR2 kit is rumored to be a new Micron, but till i see ICs, it clocks just like PSC...

[ReverendMaynard]

Well, this thread is pretty interesting besides the ram chip off topic stuff, but what I'm gathering so far is that this board isn't much of an upgrade from the P5K-Premium. Is there anyone posting in this thread that made the transition from the Black Pearl to the P5Q-D? If so, how does it stack up?

@Leeghoofd
About: Gskill PC8000PQ 4gb and Mushkin Redline PC8000 4Gb kit

Can you test these 2 kit separately, which of the two kits reach higher frequency?
Thanks.

Why cpuz and memset say "DDR3" instead of "DDR2"?

[BigJoe]

Bag, only CPU-Z SPD tab recognized memory corect...
New rev. of CPU-Z must corect memory type reading bug

PMP is the engineer I'm just one of his humble slaves... but for me this is a pretty amasing Bios... hope to see that many ram issues have been resolved now...

ÔÔ my god!
this is my next mobo absolutely

Nice benchmarks here, and thanks for the info so far guys

My concern is the x8 lanes under xfire especially with the new gpus coming out......is this a needless worry considering its 2.0.

I kind of was wondering about that myself

[TouGe]

Thanks for releasing the Aplha guys. I'll post results some time Wednesday if all goes well.

I've been asking this same questions on various forums for the last month or so and no one has really been able to give me an answer. I NEED to upgrade my system pretty soon and I want to make sure the motherboard can handle these new GPU's the are coming out.

[STEvil]

8x 2.0 is equal to 16x 1.x.

In theory.
