Modded ASUS P5Q/Pro/Deluxe/Premium BIOS

[chenxuwen]

Decent NB cooling may help, but I put a 40mm fan on top of my NB and it gets barely warm but 460 is still about its wall.

Ket. It's very interesting that my motherboard temp reduced 10 degree after a 1 hour prime 95 stressing by only put a heatsink on the mofsets. But I havn't check whether it increases OC power though.

Seems like theres a lot of people still wanting to mod for these boards. Anyone who is drop me a PM, perhaps we can get some organisation by splitting into different departments then coming up with a "final build" combining all the goodness of our works.

I miss you man, you should try modding the GA-UD3 mother board BIOSes as ell. I am sitting at 495 x 8.5 4.2GHz!!!! @ 1.312v~ right now with my Q9550 and man is it sweet being able to crank up the FSB on this board. Any way miss ya man, in a none gay way.

Heya!

My computer have been kinda unstable with clocks that was fine before since I switched to the new bios 2101. So I thought I would give Kets bios a go since they seem to be so popular

I installed 2101m with afudos but I still think its the old one from Asus still in there. When I check the bios date in CpuZ it says 04/06/2009 like before and thats not right is it?

What did I miss?

edit: Still have the same old boot-logo aswell and since you wrote in the first post you changed it I guess thats a sign thats something is wrong aswell

edit2: The commands I used in dos was "c:\>afu236u /i2101.ROM" (I renamed p5q e 2101m.rom) and when it said update completed, restart your computer. I turned it off and went through the list:

1. Shutdown system
2. Remove power cord
3. Set CMOS jumper to "clear"
4. Remove CMOS battery
5. Push power button 3 time and hold for a few seconds (discharges any stagnant electricity)
6. Leave for 2 mins

lol I'll probably mod BIOS code again, but only for boards that deserve a good BIOS I have other projects atm like mustering enough up to FINALLY finish my TK stalker shoc mod. Its the best mod there is by far, I just haven't pimped it nowhere near enough.

I stopped changing the boot logo some time ago. A lot of people were saying they could never see the new logo.

Yeah with all the ones i tried it never appeared for me.

[Ket]

I still don't know why most people couldn't see the new logo. Its always worked fine for me :/ oh well. I think I may have one last look at squeezing more out of the P5Q Series and then that really will be it. After careful study of the design of the boards, I don't see why most boards can't do 500FSB or better with quads. I must be missing something obvious

I think it is just limitations of the board and the way it is laidout or built. Or, the chipsets were crappy ones. UD3 P45 boards aren't having any issues, what is different between those and these?

So. what's your idea? I can take care of the SLIC and addon roms.

Btw, do you have the method to let P5Q PRO adjust Vtt separately for each core?

[mrosen]

As you can see above i´ve updated the original Asus P5Q Pro Turbo Bios 0602 with the Intel Raid Rom 8.9.0.1023 and the JMB368 Option Rom 1.07.11.

Feel free to modify it, but please post your versions here ;-)

Hi! Can anyone send me this BIOS please? I don't find it... Thanks in advance.

[Ket]

None, from what I can tell. Both are made to very high standards. Good news is after a lot of work (but still WIP) I got a BIOS modded and my Q8400 is currently sitting on 481FSB for a grand total of 3.6GHz and memory of 1156MHz

To adjust VTT individually, I'm pretty sure that all boils down to backwardly engineering a P5Q Premium SLAB module to work with a P5Q Pro / Turbo etc. The P5Q-P SLAB module would have to be customised for every other P5Q series board. In the case of the SLAB module, "one size fits all" is not the case unfortunately.

This is a nice news. What's the idea?

[Ket]

No idea in that way. Backwardly engineering a SLAB module is time consuming, and risky. You effectively have to splice most of the module about leaving just the AI tweaker stuff in tact. I would stick my neck out and say its entirely possible to backwardly engineer a SLAB module. However, you have to change too much within the module to really make it a viable option imo.

last 2102 on P5Q , any new one ?

[LuckMan212]

this thread is a little bit of a mess--- can someone point me to the correct link for the current/latest KET v2102 modded bios for the P5Q PRO? thanks

edit: i flashed this bios:

"p5q pro 2102m.rom"
date: 7.11.2009
crc-32: 3c06fdab

but, I also found another bios in the "P5Q Series mBIOSes.rar" collection, with a different CRC and a date of 5.14.2009 which one to use??

[Ket]

I don't know why one BIOS has a later date stamp than the other. Both modified versions use the same base code.. so at a guess maybe asus made a late change and didn't bother changing the revision.. or maybe someone uploaded the beta to the asus servers instead of the official. I did have to re-download some BIOSes cos I deleted the original code reckoning I was done with it.

[LuckMan212]

so ..... which one should I use? again, this thread needs a sticky at the top with links to the "real" ket bios. Because so many have hacked and modded this bios, its a mess and because they are all on rapidshare, its hard to know the "real" one.

[Ket]

My mBIOSes are on the first page and are on megaupload only I can't guarantee any others hosting the files are the same as mine.

[BababooeyHTJ]

Anyone try out this new EFI bios?

[Ket]

Why change what ain't broke? I have nothing against EFI, heard about it some 5+ years ago. I just don't see any real point in it apart from it looks more "flashy". Besides that, the more complex you make something the easier it breaks....

I just don't understand the point myself.

[Ket]

Hidden behind all the guff of EFI is one main point: They just want the "new BIOS" to look pretty. All the features talked about with EFI can, and mostly have, been introduced into the "classic" BIOS.

I was wondering what's the new idea to get 481FSB.
Maybe we can think about it together.

I want EFI very badly. It can boot from GPT. That's the point!
