why you bought 4

I'm still awaiting my replacement. Sent it back a week ago and it was tested faulty the day after I sent it. Yet nothing.

Same like I'm gonna get the same treatment I did for the PSU I sent back (I had to wait 2 1/2 months for a replacement to com through for that).

...and scan.co.uk is meant to be good? well they're cc stinks like

. Not even a good will gesture on their part or a "sorry" for the length they keep you going. You pay for good service, but noone ever provides it. - On the contrary overclockers.co.uk have always been fine. Only their packaging and prices (bar specials and a few things here and there) are crap imo.

does a reset of CMOS bring it back to life?

a month ago, the mobo had the same problem after i flashed the bios. i had asus fix the chip for me and they sent it back, working.
The current bios is 0711, it is fine.
help!

Sorry to bother you guys, but I have a quick question ......

I do not believe this effects system performance but at any frequency above 4.0Ghz do you guys get an incorrect Windows CPU frequency of +500 Mhz?

For example at 4.0 Windows reports 4.5, at 4.1 It reports 4.6 and when at 4.2 Windows reports 4.7?

I have done some searching and could not find any solutions .... Thx in advance

does cpu-z report it wrong also?

**sRHunt3r** · 10-23-2006, 10:01 AM

Nah, I use CPU-Z v.1.36 and it reads the frequency correct, although it does misread the voltages.

Could someone please tell me what the default vdimm voltage is on the P5B with original bios ? as I need to know what memory I need thanks.

Goes up to 2.45v and I believe it defaults to 1.90v...That is with 0711. didn't spend anytime what so ever with the shipping bios (which I think was 0507)

**mascaras** · 10-23-2006, 04:15 PM

where is the llink to the new Bios for P5B deluxe???

regards

**Ace-a-Rue** · 10-23-2006, 04:16 PM

do you have a reference for your 1.9v default setting for Vdimm?

it could be 1.8v...that is the lowest setting.

**Ace-a-Rue** · 10-23-2006, 04:51 PM

which bios number are you referring to?

**pumbertot** · 10-23-2006, 07:51 PM

ive got the chance to buy one of these 2nd hand at decent price. do you guys think it is worth it to get it? already using a DFI 975x/g so my FSB is limited at high memory speeds. will I get an improvemnt with this mobo, i.e. will I be able to achieve higher FSBs?

cheers.

When you drop the multiplier some software will not recognize the change and calculate your fsb with its original multiplier such as crystal CPU.
Strange but not to worry

**Devious** · 10-23-2006, 10:17 PM

SetFSB always reports the speed as if im on a x9 multi when im on a x8. I just use cpu-z.

also, what are your voltage settings along with what model CPU, and what FSB are you running at?

PCIe eVGA 7900GT @ 1.5v 710/850
CPU- E6400 3.6 GHz on air

@ 1.475v I think (real voltage is 1.46v) FSB is 450 and runs like a dream otherwise!

that would depend on that CPU you have

Last bios is Bios 0804 P5B dlx wifi/ap

Before this one i had some probleme with pcie link width and high NB voltage, now i think they resolved it

I thought the latest BIOS for the P5B deluxe/wifi was 0711?

false alarm, after the second restart my pcie link was back at 1X

-edit-
after upping the SB voltage to 1,7V and unplugging the PSU it seems the pcie link stays at 16X, even after restarts.

My P5B Deluxe just isn't going over 400 FSB. I've tried just about every trick in the book, but to no avail. Even 7x410 won't boot, even if I set every voltage one notch from maximum.

It could be the Corsair DDR800 (CL5), but the sticks run DDR-780 at 4-4-4-10, so hitting 820 with loose timings shouldn't be a problem.

I think I'll just set it to 8x375 and be happy with that, since it's quite fast but stays cool enough. I would appreciate your ideas about that FSB-barrier though...

have you tried 401 FSB

**china** · 10-24-2006, 07:16 AM

Oh yes indeed I have. No go. :/
