ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

[lowfat]

just because it is a sata2 drive doesn't mean it runs 300M/s constantly. The bus can handle that much bandwidth, but generally hard drives can't sustain that speed.

I've an update on my situation: Plugged in the 620W Liberty and everything worked fine. I'll get a 20 to 24 konverter tomorrow. thx

ok, thanks

i hope you weren't being sarcastic when you were asking for help with a certain problem.

well thats a no brainer!!!! thank you very much

what happens with p5b-d when you do not install jmicron driver with initial o/s at the "f6" option?

ALL the bios after the 0614 have the BUG that all time we restart computer the LINK Width run x1 instead of x16 .

thats why im using 0614 , i prefer have the colboot instead of clear cmos all time i restart my computer or change any setting in bios .

And with Bios 0614 you dont need to do nothing in BIOS , you can use any setting that the bios always run LINK WIDTH x16


lets hope that ASUS solve this problem with 0804 OFFICIAL .

BTW: BIOS 0711 , 0801 Beta and 0804 Beta all of them have that BUG of LINK WIDTH x1


regards

reverting back to 0614 may not be such a bad thing.
It seems I cant keep my fingers out of bios
Very good point

@TaPaKaH
Tried different bios?tried different sticks? tried my method to identify the issue thats holding u back? i got 440, 460 and finally 470 fsb wall during my OC. From those fsb i found mem timings seems to be the prob (cl 4 better than cl 5). If u already done that, then i think the board u got sucks!! personal opinion tho.

@Kakulukia
well. like i said there is no single solution for this sound prob that works for anybody. A bit off topic, if u finally have to buy dedicated soundcard, i think an x-fi would be too much for your future x-230 speakers, coz of that 24bit 96khz thing x-fi has wont performs its best with ur speakers. I think old SB live with 24bit 96khz will be just fine.

If this is a new drive and rated at 3GB there is a jumper you have to remove (Seagate hard drives) or a configuration utility you have to run to set it to 3GB. They come set to 150 by default so they will work with older SATA system. Not sure how WD deals with this but a simple search of there site should turn up all the answers you could ever want.

does anyone know why i'm closer to 150 instead of 300 MS/s? with my drive? is somthing set incorrectly?

[Ace-a-Rue]

Another issue i am having is that the power button on the computer doesn't shut down the computer when it is pressed it only shuts off the monitor. I couldn't find anything in the bios for this.

anyone know anything about this?

sounds like PSU problem...also...possibly a motherboard issue too.

did you install a new OS when you installed the board?...converting a previous OS from another board is not a good practice.

[Ace-a-Rue]

OC is just luck, doing 500 mhz fsb here

it is not just luck alone...it takes the right hardware and also knowledge to set the correct bios settings.

GREAT!

[Ace-a-Rue]

that is normal....nothing wrong with the drive or burst speed.

[Shootist]

Your kidding, right?
Well you are trying to go to 500 bus speed with the core/CPU voltage at 1.25. That is lower then stock. Try a Vcore/CPU voltage of 1.475>1.55 and start with the bus speed around 400 and work up from there. Also set the Mem voltage to something in the 2.25 range and NB to 1.45 and FSB TV to 1.4. If it boots at 400 then work the bus up from there or work the voltages down and leave the system set at 400.

HI

I'm portuguese and I need help to stablization my OC to 100%

I have P5B DELUXE WIFI + E600 + GSKILL PC6400 HZ 2GB

i have this configuration..


AI TUNNING: Manual
CPU: 500
DRAM FREQUENCY: 1000
PCI EXPRESS FREQUENCY: 100
PCI CLOCK SINCNOZIAZION MODE: 33
SPREDD SPECTRUM: DISABLED
MEMORY VOLTAGE: 2.30v
CPU VCORE: 1.250
FBS TERMINATION VOLTAGE: 1.40v
NB VCORE: AUTO
SB VCORE: AUTO
ICH CHIPSETE: AUTO

all correct?


On timings selected

4 4 4 12

STATIC READ CONTROL: DISSABLED


all correct?


On CPU selected

MODIFY RATIO SUPORTE: ENABLED
RATIO CMOS SETINNG: 6
C1E SUPORTE: DISABLED
MAX CPUID VALUE LIMIT: DISSBLED
VANDERPOLL TECNOLOGIE: ENABLED

EXECUTE DISABLE BIT: ENABLED
PECI: DISABLED

all correct?

I have only installed Intel RAID in F6, Jmicron isnt necessary if u dont use raid on jmicron controller.

Who else is having problems with the onboard sound?

i replied to one of your posts before and this is the particular issue i'm refering to;

the jmicron driver needs to be installed as well during windows install with "f6" this is necessary for the ide or pata devices, otherwise devices such as dvd-ram disappears in windows or will work intermittently as well as other problems.

this has been my experience with p5b-d board as well others have had similar problems corrected this way.

[swiftex]

I didn't install anything with that F6-option and everything runs fine with a single SATA drive.

i was not so fortunate as well others have had problems with dvd and other ide (pata) devices unseating or acting weird, sometimes they'd work and sometimes not, but jmicron driver at install and not updating the driver thereafter solved the problem.

[swiftex]

anyone know anything about this?

seems to be a bios problem, hopefully one of the newer bio's will correct it. when it cycles like that just power off psu, pull the plug for 5 minutes, then it will be okay till it happens again and just do the same, not much else you can do.

[swiftex]

Nobody (with raid) moved from 975 to 965?

new setup will lose data, back it up then reinstall after drives are on new board.

[swiftex]

did you turn "static read control" OFF ?
and don't worry, you're not the only one to hate this ing motherboard

idosyncratic at best, but I rather like it

[swiftex]

heh, since I got my Tuniq Tower 120 everything has slotted into place.

Maxed out my chipset, mem and CPU at 441x8, 3.525ghz

No dual reboots, no none starting boots, no PCI-E 1x bugs. Nothing.

Works like a charm.

Just got to do the Vdroop pencil mod so I can drop the Vcore

CR.

good news, glad to hear

what can you do, hopefully they correct it, i'm using 804 and reset when it happens, since i stopped tinkering all has been relatively well

[swiftex]

does anyone know why i'm closer to 150 instead of 300 MS/s? with my drive? is somthing set incorrectly?

burst speed should be higher as well as average, how is it configured?

[lowfat]

did you install a new OS when you installed the board?...converting a previous OS from another board is not a good practice.

PSU is a 700W OCZ, and yes it is a new installation. As far as i remember, it use to work fine for a few days. Then this started to happen.

[Revv23]

id rather deal with the problem once in a while then risk burning a harddrive from the double reset.

[swiftex]

i hope you weren't being sarcastic when you were asking for help with a certain problem.

i was, thought maybe it was obvious in earlier posts, i should never make assumptions, sometimes we don't put enough thought into the process before responding.

i was having a moment, no harm meant, just speaking what i thought at that time.

[swiftex]

If this is a new drive and rated at 3GB there is a jumper you have to remove (Seagate hard drives) or a configuration utility you have to run to set it to 3GB. They come set to 150 by default so they will work with older SATA system. Not sure how WD deals with this but a simple search of there site should turn up all the answers you could ever want.

if it's an oem version they usually don't come with jumpers and you have to find a jumper to set at sataI standard.

the hdtach readings show a sataI not sataII configuration.

but, i agree, he should first check the jumpers

Hey guys. I'm currently hitting a strange fsb wall with my p5b-deluxe. It seems i can boot @ 520x7, which is well within my cpu's limit, an it does this on 1.25v to the NB. But i simply cannot post @ anything above that, regardless of voltage. The chipset is water cooled, and i have 2 x 120mm fans and 2x0mm fans over the board. I'm runnig the 0711 bios right now. Any suggestions?
