ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

[chuckbam]

What does the bios setting for PCIE Interface setting do?
Is that just for Crossfire? Should I enable that or disable it?
Thanks,

[Alex-Ro]

Well it's not that,it's a stupid error applyin only at ASUS,the chassis jumper is at it' place.This error happened from an overclock but now it won't do anything .I pressed ALT+F2,flashed through the latest bios and it worked,but still the samer error.Other suggestions?

Asus P5B Deluxe 1205 beta bios

http://rapidshare.com/files/39536521...eluxe-1205.ROM

Any release notes or word of what this addresses? Does it throw volts all off in CPUZ like 1201 did?

someone should try it out, and see if its worth to flash it

[dnottis]

CPUZ shows 1.075 for volts now and never changes. So far OC is ok @ 3.6 will test more. Everest shows correct volts.

[knacki99]

Sandra XI CPU benchmark scores are up about 1-2%. OC stable. Voltages stable

I just put together a new system with the P5B Deluxe WiFi. Before installing Vista, the BIOS showed my two SATA hard drives, but now they don't show up. Windows still boots, but I'm just wondering why I can't see the devices. Thanks.

[ziddey]

did you switch from ide mode to ahci?

[cletus_cassidy]

No. I will give that a try, thanks. I have two SATA hard drives in RAID mode running off of the motherboard's RAID controller; when I talked to an Asus tech (who was quite unhelpful) he said that I can't run hard drives in RAID and have the CD-ROM on the same controller. Is that right? He also said the fact that I have it in RAID mode is the reason I can't see any of my SATA devices in my BIOS...

"In RAID mode is the reason I can't see any of my SATA devices in my BIOS"
True, but you can see them where you select first HD etc.

"I can't run hard drives in RAID and have the CD-ROM on the same controller"
Wrong , I am doing it now, I get fantastic RAID0 performance and I can also boot from the SATA DVD/ CD drive.

For best performance, install the Intel Matrix Storage Console and the new Intel chipset inf.

One thing, I run Vista.

[cletus_cassidy]

Thanks for your reply. I run Vista as well. Which ports do you have your hard drives and optical drives plugged into on the board?

I don't know, but it does not make a difference. I think I have the two RAID drives on 1&2 and DVD on 3

I have installed Vista many times on this computer and I find that with VISTA it will sets up the RAID . You don't need the Intel F6 disk. Vista has a MS one that is good enough to get you started, you can install the driver istore ie Intel Matrix Storage Console you are in Vista. .....After you install the Intel Matrix Storage Console check to make sure you have the HDs "Write Cache Enabled".

I have my drives set up as (boot order)
1) Floppy
2) SATA DVD
3) Raid 0
4) IDE DVD

[eyes.only]

any word on the new 1205 beta bios?

I want to build two raid1 arrays on my p5b-dlx, does it matter which ports I need to use? Have already installed vista (yes I have set the bios to raid :-))

[maxtypezero]

hey, i'm getting subpar performance out of my 7900GT with this board at stock clocks. i heard it has something to do with the voltages. could somebody elaborate, please?

Make sure in CPUZ that the PCi-e is showing x16 not x1. If it's x1 try bumping the NB voltage to 1.45v. If thats not it, then it has nothing to do with any voltages.

Has anyone tried 2.4GHz Core 2 Quad on this board? because I will be getting one soon and will overclock it high since the Bus Speed is lower than my E6300. Already got the update for it so Its ready for it.

[Angelico_Payne]

Did you ever get a response to this issue with your audio? I'm asking b/c I'm having the same problem.

Thanks.

Sry been busy lately...

Yes i resloved by deinstalling drivers, setting properly in bios, and then installing again drivers...

*watch out to connect pins of front audio panel to mb properly, the pin layout is similar to USB pin layout, so its easy to reverse, and get no sound out but working in windows ok.

Just popped by to see whats new, i go flash new bios and then go setup raid, since i got second HD today.

Havent been able to find Sata DVD burner, can someone direct me to a online shop in europe that has it, and does delivering?

Missed the last pair of OCZ by 5 mins, so i am still on 512MB, pissed off and waiting for new stock to be imported. I am bypassing lack of RAM by asigning huge pagefile of 2-3Gb, which is speeding up comp, but also giving big cpu load and more HD activity

[Angelico_Payne]

So as i thought i have a problem with this mobo

I setup raid, and so on
Boot XP setup disc, press F6
Choose RAID drivers when prompted (1st on list of 4 options)
And its all ok
Format, ... and then i get error cannot read iastore.sys .. skip,retry, quit, bla bla bla... and what ever i do i cant read it from floppy.

And offcourse if i skip i get BSOD on next restart... same goes if i configure to AHCI.

Floppy is ok and configured ok, using latest intel raid drivers for this mobo... configured raid ok and in bios Intel - enchanced - RAID

What is weirdest when i press retry it doesnt even try to read from floppy as it is trying to read from somewhere else..

Plz help, or gimme me any thoughts on this, i am stuck.

Hi guys,

I've been reading this forum for a long time, great stuff. I usually try to figure things out on my own but this time I'm stuck!

I can't seem to get my e6300 past 425 FSB, even with the new Ballistix I just bought. I've tried following the Tom's hardware guide with all of the initial voltages high, and she still won't POST past 429 or so. I also tried going straight to 470 to see if the strap would help. Running a Zalman 9500 cooler, Idle temps around 40.

Here's my CPU-Z info:



Anyone have any ideas?

PS, I also tried running at 266 with a high divider to test out the RAM at around 1000 and the RAM was perfect.

-- "Chassis Intruded!" Message; CMOS-Clear and Chassis Intrusion Jumpers ADDED: 08/24/06

If you are getting a "Chassis Intruded!" message upon trying to boot, you will be unable to do anything whatsoever. As reported, to fix this, you must clear CMOS via an on-board jumper. Refer to your manual and locate the jumper, and be very careful, as the Chassis Intrusion jumper is right next to it. -- [Credit: anarinsk]

Hi,

I keep getting this message, chassis intruded!

I can't get in bios.
Bios reset didn't help.
Battery removal for 1.5 hour and reset didn't help.
Chassis jumper is right on it's default place.

here a picture of my screen:


Any suggestions, im really stuck here!

Would a bios flash help or only make it worse??

[eklipze]

keldererik, try taking the jumper out and placing it back after a swap. on the positions. while doing this, be sure the battery is out. it worked for my other computer surprisingly.

Scope666-- when you went to 470fbs did you get the boot? or what? your proabbly not pushing enough volt. i'm running my e6300 at 2.8ghz right now. so i'll see if i can boot from 420+ FSB. let you in on it

no, it wouldn't boot at all, just the power light, no happy single beep. I tried the cpu voltage as high as 1.525, which is very high from what I read. Also, what voltage do you guys recommend I run the Ballistix at (they're 800's)

I had the same "wall" with my old ram, OCZ 667 Gold. I always thought it was the RAM, but now I still have the same wall.
