ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

[evil-doer]

Hi,
My settings are basically:
...
PCI Express 100 ( Any higher it keeps reverting to 1X bus vs 16x on some re-boots)
...
CAS 4
CAS Delay 5
RAS % 5
RAS Active 12

heh, when my pcie freq is 100 it runs at 1x, i changed it to 110 and it enables 16x.. odd how its opposite.

ok ive copied those timings off you, ill try tightening them up after i find out if this is stable or not (so far so good). but i was wondering about the other timings. TRFC, TRRD, etc. could you post those as well please?
thanks.

I do not have enough knowledge to adjust those. There are no specifications for the memory available and ASUS provides no information either. I keep them at default. I do know that my memory is T2.

If you find any improvement for adjusting any of the other settings, please let me know.

The PCIE thing is odd.

Is there anyone here that could give me concrete BIOS-settings so that I could get my E6600 to 3GHZ? I've tried reading some overclocking-guides but most don't make any sense to me.

I'm using http://corsair.com/corsair/products/...X2048-6400.pdf if that's any help.

The memory specifications are only the 4 basic settings and voltage.

I've hit a wall with my P5-B - any ideas please ?

specs are E6600 (L624), original ver of P5-B Delux, 11.01 bios, 2 gig 8500 Crucial

9*365 with Vcore @ 1.5 (set in bios), memory at 1090 CAS5, Orthos stable (Blend) for 10 hours

9x370 with Vcore @ 1.52, memory now dropped to 960 so 4:5 multiplier (I've tried both CAS4 and CAS5 to no avail) - Orthos Small stable for over an hour - Orthos blend always fails at about 35 mins, whether RAM set to CAS4 or CAS5.#

normally if I have Vcore set too low for the CPU, Orthos small fails much quicker than Orthos blend, so I'm suspecting RAM or Mobo. RAM I've had up to 1030 CAS4 - so I doubt that.

Mobo voltage settings are ICH to Auto, all the rest in the "pink", can't remember exacts but MCH is 1.45, South = 1.6 etc.

I can't try the x8 or x7 multiplier as my mobo/cpu combination HATES it with a passion - 3.25 gig on x9 only needs 1.5Vcore, but 3.2 gig on x8 needs 1.525 just too boot !

thanks for any tips, Mark.

Try a top to bottom . set voltages to minimal max (purple-pink) and FSB to 500 etc ( medium of high OC ) . keep an eye on temps

There's an FSB wall at 399 , has to do with the way the NB works. when you OC you OC it too * .

Does anybody know how to set up the Realtek WiFi drivers on this board to use on Vista Ultimate 32 bit (x86). Thanks -Jim

[chuckbam]

Is any one using the Vista audio beta drivers v6.10.X.6100 ?
Do the work well? Any new features ?

[mojado]

What's changes have beta BIOS 1201?.

E4300 @3105 mhz cooler stock
P5B Deluxe Wifi/AP (BIOS 1101)
2*1024 mb GeIL DDR2 @860 mhz 4-4-4-12 (2v)

ok i got my antec sonata iii case and just put it together. wow i love it.
first off. everything has completely changed. i think due to the difference in power its getting. (8 pin 12v, proper direct pcie connector, etc). as i said before i had to overclock the pcie bus to 110 to achive 16x. after i put together my system it was at 1x! so i set it back to 100 and its working perfectly at 16x again. also before i changed it i played a demo and it was choppy as hell, the sound too. but fine after. i wouldnt be surprised if my system is totally stable now because of the better psu. lets hope.

[mashakos]

so, I'm soon going to get a cpu and start overclocking. Just wanted to know what kind of voltages are adequate for high overclocks* on the P5B Deluxe (CPU, FSB, ram, ICH, MCH, etc...).

I'm going to use this board with 2GB of PC2 9600 HyperX ram and hopefully a C2D E6700 batch 32A

* by high overclocks I mean 400 fsb / 600 ram or 500 fsb / 500 ram

ok i just ran into a major problem here. was listening to some music and went to burn a cd. when it started burning the music got really really choppy. i looked at how much cpu was being used and it was 50-70% cpu.
i have a pata dvdburner, but using a sata adapter. could this be the cause? when i looked at process explorer. the "interupts" is 30-50% cpu, and "system" is about 20%.. thats pretty crazy for a 3.2 ghz system just burning a cd!

ok the cd has finished burning and verified. but the "system" was still at 20% cpu. so i looked at the properties of system, in the threads. its kmixer.sys, which is the kernel mode audio mixer.. why is this using 20% of my cpu? im not even listening to anything right now.

ok. i just started listening to music and its gone. im back to 100% idle. for some reason burning the cd screwed with the audio.. is this some kind of conflict i can diagnose or correct?

Check to see that the controller isn't setting the drive in pio mode. Change it to dma and it should get better

heres the settings:

I mean in windows. Is it reporting as pio4 or udma2?

sorry i wasnt sure what you meant. im not sure im looking in the right area here. in devices > ide ata/atapi controllers i have 3 "primary ide channels", and 3 "secondary ide channels". theres no indications of what drive is on what controller but one of them is indeed stuck on pio mode. i guess it could be the adapter im using? this is what it is: http://www.abit-usa.com/technology/serillel_new.php

any advice other than to get a new dvd writer (which i plan on getting at some point this summer)

I also got this problem! No solution for it? I have a Nec2510. My harddisk isn't slow or something and is on the same IDE port.

Dear evil-doer,

I can't find those ROM settings in my bios. What version bios are you using?
How do I find those setting? Could it be because I have it set to RAID?

guy's i need the best bios for quad core on this board any one that can help me ?

IMPORTANT


Is there any problem to set NB voltage to 1.55V ???

because today i have installed a SECOND 2 GB kit of ram, so i have 4 x 1GB.
I got freezes and programm crashes with the settings i used for 2x1GB.

Now i set NB to 1.55v (bevore 1.45V)... may it works then!

So np for the nb with 1.55v @ 24/v ???

it seems to that there is no other way to get that stable i think.

I think it is memory timing, I have my NB at default. But when I added 2 more GB of ram, I had to change the settings 4-4-4-12 to 4-5-5-12.

One strange thing. With my overclock, I get a OC Failure error with default timings or looser timings setting on the boot.

[ziddey]

evildoer, try this.

force the drive to pio mode. reboot. then choose dma if available again and reboot. see if that triggers it into dma mode.

i need help on my P5B Deluxe,,,,

its strange what happend, before 2 months back i booted the mobo to windows with 500 FSB first time



i continued to run it at that speed for a couple a months then after i got destracted with the HD 2900 XT crossfire setups ,i suddenly reliesed that i can't post 490 FSB no matter what i do, here is my currnet bios setup

What about memory trimmings? change it to manual at try different setting. I don't understand why people don't look at that with Memory errors. It is the most important setting to look at

mem is 1:1 under 5-5-5-15-6-42-10-10-10-10-disabled,,,, i losen all the timing so the problem would not be from the ram


i think the mobo is dying..... its downgrading somehow just like the ram when when over volting it

but it does not makes any sense,,,
