Does that look OK? The CPU voltage seems a bit high...

CPU voltage differs from CPU to CPU mate, that's for you to find out. If your quad runs happily at 1.25Vcore set it like that...
Templates are what works for once's specific hardware... I would just take them as a guideline and would always start a bit lower on the volts ( surely FSB term voltage ) and work ya way slowly up eg from 450 to 475 or whatever FSB you require.

COMMON PERFORMANCE LEVEL: 05
PULL-INS: DISABLED (ALL OF THEM)---------what does this do? ---1)
CPU Voltage: 1.33125
CPU GTL Voltage Reference (0/2): 0.635----how do you find the right setting or are they all the same?--->2)
CPU GTL Voltage Reference (1/3): 0.635----how do you find the right setting or are they all the same?
CPU PLL Voltage: 1.56
FSB Termination Voltage: 1.34
DRAM Voltage: 2.06
NB Voltage: 1.34
NB GTL Reference: AUTO
SBridge Voltage: 1.20
PCIE SATA Voltage: 1.60-------thought this wasn't important---->3

Load Line Calibration: ENABLED
CPU Spread Spectrum: DISABLED
PCIE Spread Spectrum: DISABLED

what about clock skews?

1) it's like dropping a half on the Performance level so eg you set PL 9 and with all pull ins enabled you should get 8.5PL in performance... doesn't work on all biosses and differs from board type to board type

2) GTL tuning could be required : test ya CPU with small FFT and if eg it's always the same core that caps out try lowering the first value till it gains in stability (write that figure down), at a certain moment it will become unstable again (write it down) and go half way for the final setting... GTL tuning can take some but is a MUSt with modern quads with high FSB action

3) I never had to use PCI E voltage this high, I always lef tit on AUTO , but some users claimed it overvolted ( I don't even know where to read this value on these boards via a DMM, think it is pure speculation on their behalf)

Hello Again

If you remember the problem i had.

The result is the same, at High FSB (over 430Mhz) and using the system playing, the system freezes like with the CPU before.

The only thing is to hope that Asus solve this little problem.

At the moment My system runs 420x10 CPU FSB and Memory is @560Mhz, no issues and all voltages at minimum SB 1.20 NB 1.20 CPU 1,25V.

I will give you more feedback if i find something new.

Don't think it has got anything specific to do with the board mate, maybe more a setting or something with ya rams or PSU not being 100% okay or compatible. I even gamed at 550FSB daily and never had this freezing issue you seem to have... You had this on the MF II too and not on the Commando...

OK i have a asus P5Q3 deluxe, an intel E8600, and gskill ddr3 1600 RAM, I so far have only been able to over clock it to 4.4 Ghz stable, with my CPU voltage at 1.462. With at 10x CPU ratio with and FSB of 440. But i see that theres alot of diff. options i could change to maybe get it faster. I want to try to push 5 GHz on this CPU, but i cant keep it stable. I would like to know even if the mobo is able to do that. And if it is how can i do that.

P.S. temp. is not a problem at 4.4Ghz on a full load its still running a 25 to 29 C.

If you think that your CPU puts out 29°C at 4.4Ghz either you are running chilled water or your temp read outs are completely bugged... 5ghz daily is a no go, forget about that unless running phase cooling... In your case I would try to stabilise 9 x 500 with 1600Mhz ram speed
