[scoobysix]

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

Where are these BIOS revisions coming from? The latest I can see on the Asus sites is 0711?

[Kakulukia]

My batchnumber is= L626A425

What does it mean? Which week is it ? 26?

[Devious]

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.

Great. No MOBO until 1st NOV. How crap are scan

I just returned a faulty P5W DH to overclockers and have been told to wait 28 days for replacement... yeah sure, as if i wont buy another in the meantime


I returned a PSU to scan last week and was given a new one straight away.

regards

works on both

Anyone know the changelog for 0804?

Another FSB Barrier here... 415 FSB ok even with auto on nb/fsb voltages, but 420 is a no go. Upping nb/fsb voltages doesn't seem to help
Any ideas ? Tried Bios 614, 711 and 801 till now. CPU is E6400, testing with 6x multi. Ram is Cellshock 1000 so it should run fine at 420. Hope anyone can help cause 3200 on an E6400 is not exactly what i expected

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

if using a lower multi than default windows still calculates at default multi for chip, eg., default 500x9=4.5ghz, if in reality using 500x8=4.0ghz windows will show 500x9 because it recognizes default multi.

my corsair pc8500 should have been fine until 530ish fsb 1:1 but one stick called it quits around 415ish FSB 1:1 while the other one happily marched on

If I was you I would lower the multi and test the ram with memtest86+ 1.65 and see if you are getting mem errors

ok, so 801 bios works with p5b dlx without wifi, does the 804 bios work with deluxe without wifi as well?

also, whats a good free rar. file extractor?

thank you

have you tried cas 5: 5-5-12 or 15?

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...

yes!

have you tried cas 5: 5-5-12 or 15?

Yes, even 6-6-6-18 and still no go. It must have something to do with the board. I expected to get around 3GHz for daily use (which I got), so I'm quite happy but this still bugs me...

[Ace-a-Rue]

which CD2 are you using?

all p5b deluxe bios' work on wifi and non wifi./

[ic3m4n2005]

@Levish: Tested the Rams in windows with 4:5 div @ 500 Mhz..no probs

[Pjoeloe]

any of you guy`s know if the iP965 chipset is the same as the "C2" P965 ? I keep seeing those iP965 boards

[swiftex]

all p5b deluxe bios' work on wifi and non wifi./

Thanks Revv23,

what about free rar. extractor, anyone?

[ShapeGSX]

I'm not speaking for Intel, just as an enthusiast.

There is only one 965P chipset. There are two steppings of it out there. C1 and C2.

C2 fixes a couple bugs that were in C1. But they aren't terribly critical bugs. They are both on a very mature process, so I doubt that there are any process differences between them.

Thanks for all of the replies ... I wish i was able to get my 8 multi at 9 with a 524fsb

You guys are the bomb

[Ace-a-Rue]

just do a web search...you will find a "rar" extractor...they might want you to buy after "x" days but it continues to work after the trial period...you just have to put up with the message.

[scoobysix]

So, again where are the 0801 and 0804 Bios' coming from?

[Revv23]

asus ftp.

Thanks Revv23,

Good grief, just Google 7zip. Supports pretty much everything, and it's free.

asus ftp.

Cheers, got a link?

ftp://ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socke...uxe%20Wifi-AP/ seems to indicate the latest revision is 0711, don't see any 08xx revisions for any of the P5B series mobos.
