Asus P5Q3 Deluxe - no boot with G.Skill DDR3-1600

[xt0m]

Hi, I'm currently attempting to run G.Skill's F3-12800CL7D-2GBPI DDR3-1600 kit on an Asus P5Q3 Deluxe/WiFi mainboard. I've just flashed the mainboard to the newest available BIOS, 0902.

However, I had to do that with another set of memory from Kingston. The system won't boot with G.Skills pair. What could be wrong here?

Thanks!

Probably a SPD related incompatibility m8.
A SPD edit/flash will more than likely get the job done.
Message me on MSN

Yeh, kinda thought it'd be the SPD f*ckin up again..
Thanks in advance man

give me a day. i will check it out what is going on.
btw if you want to flash a new SPD, please save your original SPD to keep its warranty

Cool, was about to make a new thread based on this.

Curious about the G-Skill F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ sticks working with the P5Q3-Delx mobo.

Any issues other than a minor SPD issue at all?

Cheers for any help

[IceWing84]

Any news on the promised test?

They are propperly testing atm.

But just tell us what you are trying out even though it dosent solve the problem ?

[GSKILL TECH]

we should have all result tomorrow since friday was July 4th. we didn't have time to test

[GSKILL TECH]

we have no problem to boot with 0602 and 0702 bios, set to FSB 400 / 400 / 1600 7-7-7-18 1.9v no problem to run

Thank you GS Tech!
Very nice service!
People always wonder why I buy G-Skill ram ONLY, here is the best example
Thank you!

[IceWing84]

Well, my RAM still won't boot. Could you supply me with a guide for flashing the SPD, as well as give access to the files needed?

[GSKILL TECH]

none of them boot?
our spd are the same, we never change spd version tho

[IceWing84]

I can get one of them to boot though.

[GSKILL TECH]

I can get one of them to boot though.

i tested my HZ kit, and it boots with 0902, 0904 too.

sry, i just saw the boot problem is with an PI kit.

Hi,

Unfortunately i'm having the very same problem.
For some reason im really unable to get the system stable using the 2 GB Gskill memory kit (PC3 12800) together with the P5Q3 (bios 0904)
Whenever i set everything to "auto" in BIOS it wont even boot.
The only way to get it more or less stable is setting the DRAM frequency to *DDR3-1600* leaving all other options "auto".
System will boot with CPU frequency 2.80 and DRAM running
at 9-9-9-24.
Whatever settings i use or try (changing voltages/timings/fsb etc) im not able to get the system running stable with DRAM set to 7-7-7-18.
Nothing but BSOD's or frozen screens.
Im pretty sure it's the M/B at fault here, but is there anyone who could give me some hints/tips in order to get it stable ?

thanks,

Don
