ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

[GrimReaper]

I’ve just gotten my very first OC stable: 3.5ghz on a E6600 at VCore = 1.5000v. I’m watercooling my rig, and I have 32c (idle) and 50c(load) temps. Is this OC sustainable over the long run or should I tone it down a bit? Is that amount of voltage going to break down the MB or CPU, or should I be able to use this 24/7? Any advice is much appreciated.

1.5v IS the limit on the core I wouldnt go higher than that.. Is it orthos stable at this setting? if it is then I would suggest you leave it like this

[cletus_cassidy]

Yes, it's stable for at least 8 hours (the longest I've let it run). I've tried to get it stable with a lower VCore but I keep getting random restarts.

screw this mobo and long stratup. going to just take it out and sell. is in my download rig and statup is faster with this MSI 975X Powerup.

2 more reasons why when I ordered my p35 this week I went with GB. I like the DS3 cause I like Award over Ami and the boot times...

Of course I like having many slots (GB) vs 2 (asus) for BIOS profiles too and the Gigabit nic that doesnt drop to 100 mbps (asus) every other boot too

then its ok ! keep at it

same here. Could not install 162.15 again. The driver did not catch the vga card. 158.45 installed fine though.

No problem with 162.15 here...

P5B Deluxe / Wifi-AP BIOS version 1212

1. Add new CPU uCode to support new processors
2. Revise SLP 2.0 rule
3. Enable support for SATA hot plug function under AHCI mode
4. Fix after downgrade CPU ratio, the Conroe L frequency not correct under ASUSCPU

Revise SLP 2.0 rule- hmm which is that?

Has anyone had any luck configuring Patriot "eXtreme Performance" (snicker) PC6400 (PDC22G6400LLK) to work with the P5B deluxe? I've got 4x1GB running at 390 mhz x2 at 5-5-5-15 (2.15v), but I'm having no luck getting it to run at the manufacturer's suggested timings of 4-4-4-12 (2.2v). If I run it at 4-4-4-12 (2.15v), Orthos fails within minutes. If I run it at 4-4-4-12 (2.25v), the board flips out and I either can't POST, I get an error with my RAID drives or I get the long beep followed by three short beeps. Anyone have any experience with this or have ideas?

Revise SLP 2.0 rule- hmm which is that?

SLP 2.0 (System Locked Preinstallation) technology for activation process of OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) edition of Windows Vista on branded PC.



This new 1212 bios now suports the new G0 steping CPU's right ?

And about OC is this 1212 bios at the same OC level as the previous ones ?

Revise SLP 2.0 rule- hmm which is that?

SLP 2.0: system-locked pre-installation 2.0

This mechanism is commonly referred to as 'SLP 2.0' ('system-locked pre-installation 2.0') and consists of the following three key elements:

1. The OEM's hardware-embedded BIOS ACPI_SLIC information signed by Microsoft.

2. A certificate issued by Microsoft that corresponds to the specific ACPI_SLIC information.

The certificate is an XML file found on the OEM's installation/recovery media, ususally called something like 'oemname.xrm-ms'.

3. A special type of product key that corresponds to the installed edition of Windows Vista.

This key can usually be obtained from some installation script found on the OEM's installation/recovery media or directly from a pre-installed OEM system.

If all three elements match Windows Vista's licensing mechansim considers the given installation a valid system-locked pre-activated copy (that does not require any additional product activation procedures).

So the basic concept of the tool at hand is to present any given BIOS ACPI_SLIC information to Windows Vista's licensing mechanism by means of a device driver. In combination with a matching product key and OEM certificate this allows for rendering any system practically indistinguishable from a legit pre-activated system shipped by the respective OEM.

Anyone with p5b dlx + E6x50 CPU ?

[MacKaquE]

Hi all,

I've been reading on this forum for some months now, I builded my system like 7 months ago but I got my memory 1.5 months ago ... got really busy here and had no time to OC but I started this week and wanted to show you my result. I'm kinda a newbie but I still want to show you what I did so far.

First here is my system :

CPU Core 2 Duo E6400
Mobo P5B Deluxe
Memory : Mushkin XP2-8500
Power supply : OCZ Xtreme 700w

Vcore : 1.55 (in bios)
FSB Termination : 1.45
NB : 1.55
SB : 1.60
ICH : 1.057

Allright, those are the important parts ... here is a screenshot of what I did

I wanted to know if it's normal that memset see my memory at 533 MHZ .. it's not suppose to be 450 * 2 = 900 MHZ ?

when I boot my PC I see PC4300 or something like that so I think there is maybe a problem there.

Also, about the Vcore ... I putted 1.55 in BIOS (if I put lower, it's not stable ...) and in Windows it's not saying 1.55 ... is that normal too ?

Like you can see I idle at 46-47 and on load I hit 62-63

I use a Tuniq Tower.

So that's it ... wanted to say too that it's 100% stable with 8 hours of 3dmarks and memtest so I think it should be fine

Thanks for reading and if anyone can answer my questions about the ram and the vcore, feel free to help

Later

is it safe for daily use these voltages :

FSB Termination : 1.45
NB : 1.55
SB : 1.60
ICH : 1.057

???

is anyone using values as high as those this for sometime (like 6+ months) ?

[MacKaquE]

Hi it's me again,

Yeah well I read on many forum that ppl were using those settings tho I don't know if it's safe for 24/24

Would be cool if someone can confirm that it's oke to use those settings because it's 100% stable here with those settings.

Also in windows it shows 1.47 Vcore and not 1.55 like I setted in BIOS so I'm a bit confused. I read that over 1.5 is a bit crazy but if I put lower than 1.55 my OC don't work

So help would be nice to ansnwer all those questions

Thanks

[miesso]

the vcore u set on bios is different of that shown in windows (i don't know why) ...

by pencil modding ur mb u can reduce the difference a lil bit...

before the pencil mod (for vdrop) :

bios - 1.4875v
windows - 1.440v (idle)
windows - 1.432v (full)

after the mod:

bios - 1.4875v
windows - 1.4620v (idle)
windows - 1.4620v (full)

[MacKaquE]

Well, well

Seems it's not 100% ok ...

Tommorow I went on my PC, opened the screen and bam ... BSOD

So my PC crashed when I was sleeping. now I guess I will lower my FSB to something like 410 and lower my voltage to see if it will be more stable.

Sucks

Another new one again 1215 HERE

Fyi, 1212 was released just few days ago.

And still in beta. At least that's what's ASUS homepage says. They should do something about the vdrop before the next BIOS release.

Hmm, I wonder what happens when you directly change the table in the biosfile and then flash it.

Changelog for 1215 : (only one)

1. Enhance memory compatibility under FSB1333 mode

Still in beta though.

Gives the p5b dlx no beeps with no cpu ?

thx

The vdop issue isn't a bios/software problem ! It's a hardware problem
