ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

[OldGuy]

And, you are sure that it isnt your speakers but the onboard sound?
That is the main question .


-x1 issue= Can't it be a forceware problem?
Test this= reinstall windows, dont install nvidia/ati forceware driver yet. Now, check what cpu-z shows.

I dont think it is the gfx card itself, but bios~~~driver conflict.

I just remember, i have disabled Firewire and gigabit lan 2, u never know, so try this too.

People with x1 probs, are u guys using an extra pci card (soundcard or something)?
Because if have only installed my gfx card , nothing more.

All I have is the one gfx card...no other slots populated.

[lowfat]

I also only have one card installed. If i move the videocard to the secondard 16x slot, it works in 4x, which is correct. I also have everything disabled in the bios except for one ethernet and sound.

I'm in the process of building a new PC and I think this is the mobo I want. Just wondering if anyone is having any issues running 4x1GB of modules with it? I already have four 1GB Patriot PEP21G6400LL modules. Pretty sure the modules use Micron D9GMH chips?

Thanks!

Bios 0804 OFFICIAL released but have same link x1 BUG

every time we restart computer or change settings in BIOS the LINK WIDTH run x1 .

to run x16 we need to go BIOS and LOAD DEFAULT SETTINGS then turn OFF PSU , Turn ON PSU , Go to BIOS again and then set what we want .

(same procedure all the time we restart computer )


regards

That's not good news...
When u set vmch @ 1.55v do u still have the prob?

I have never seen the x1 PCIE problem on my setup.

e6600, p5b-d, 361x9, sapphire x1900xt 512, 500w enermax liberty

Nothing special about BIOS, except I am running with Speedstep & C1E enabled. (working flawlessly)

iìve got the same cpu but where i can find the speedstep function in the bios?I checked the cpu configuration page but it's not there!The bios version is 0804.
thanks in advance!

[Psyire]

That is the main question

I'm sure it's not the speakers as they were fine on my old system. I'm almost positive that when things get hairy in a game and the cpu(s) are working hard then the sound takes a back seat... atleast this is how it seems.

I believe you can only use speedstep if you are using the default mulitplier. If you have the multiplier changed then it dosen't give you the option in the BIOS. (I may be wrong, perhaps someone else can confirm this) (oh and you have to scroll down the CPU Config BIOS Page to see it, it's just off the screen)

[heikis]

well we got to hope that the next bios will fix the 1X issue.
it seems that every big fix comes with another big bug.

Can someone please explain where to find the p965 chipset drivers that I am supposed to install during the F6 process??? Also can someone explain how do do this?

I found the jmicron and intel storage manager drivers to install during F6 but I cannot find the chipset drivers mentioned previously. I downloaded the p965 express chipset drivers but this is nothing that can fit on a floppy. Should I just install this after installing xp?

Go to Asus site and download Intel drivers. Put in folder unzip and doubleclick file with a clean floppy in the drive.

If I remember right the file is about 15mb.

i just finished installing everything and my question is - why should i do that? installing the drivers afterwards worked fine for me..

I went to p5b delux page at asus and I see drivers for bios, lan, audio, intel storage matrix and thats it. NO chipset drivers. Can you be more specific? I checked intel's website and it only lets youd ownload an autoinstall file not an extractable file. Please help.

Hi Folks,Have also a GX2 Problem left site mine (right different user- same Hardware) PCI 16x@8x

@Menlatin
Would you be kind enough to tell us your bios settings for volts and mem timings and other feature that u disabled or enabled @8x500 or higher with default multi, and mem freq @1125. And its very interesting that u always had low value on your Tras (960 mh 4-5-4-4 2.15v) Or maybe its your extensive cooling on the chipset that affect it? I have the same sticks as your, mine is 2x512, so tell us ur bios settings pleaseee....

@TaPaKaH
I think its the mobo u have thats holding u back, i got 7x470 max with my E6300 week 29 and maybe Kakulukia got 7x478 with his as u can see in his sig

@BadThad
I read somewhere in the manual that says 4x1gb sticks wont work due to chipset limitation. So maybe u can read the manual first. I hope im wrong tho

BTW, i dont see any significant update on that 0804 bios regarding performance (chipset bootstrap thing) or any other bug (sound, pci-e etc)

i am wondering if the bios senses two GPU's and it is trying to run each at 8X even though the bus width is suppose to handle one core at 16X.

[ingenue007]

how do you check if it runs x1 or x16? the new marvel alliance game runs horridly on my system for some reason (7900 gto @ 710/800 and e6300 @ 3.3)

[kwalker]

open up cpuz mainboard tab and post screen
see if it reports the same error also youll see your bios revision

[neobremen]

Same,sorry for Big one , high resolution

[Kakulukia]

-it runs at 8x mode because the gx2 are in real ''sli'' in one card. (that is something about the pipelines, in short= 8x is normal)

-chipset= go to utility and download INF , u will find the chipset drivers in that file.

-4x1gb is no problem, the only limitation is that windows x32 cant handle 4gig (i thought 3.2gb, but there were a few windows tweaks).

[sponge bob]

how can i fix that 1x pcie issue ? video is x1900GT rev2
