Do you know if ASUS will release a X38 board with DDR2 and DDR3 support?

that is what this thread is about!...DDR2 and DDR3 board...you must be asking about the X48 board...right?

"The P5E3 Deluxe is the first ASUS motherboard to feature this Express Gate (SplashTop) technology, and ASUS describes it as: "With a fast boot-up speed of only 5 seconds, the ASUS Express Gate offers an optional Linux OS boot-up that allows you to enjoy instant access to commonly used functions like accessing the Internet, VoIP, and Web emailing without entering the OS."

I take it the non deluxe boards dont have this?

[webwilli]

i have a little but annoying bug.

FSB is 420 MHz

In windows i shut down the system, but the system don´t power-down.
It shut down for a second (hdd and fans stop) and then it restart

any idea?

i phoned ASUS, but there is now Support for overclocked systems...

[Warboy]

Is there going to be a X48 with DDR2 slots?

[badboy]

Does this support this memory?

That seems pointless... who the heck ever turns off their machine anymore? That's what S3 is for. It's like when people debate boot times. I boot once a month after security updates. Who cares what the boot time is.

"Embedded onto the P5E3 Deluxe"
I think it is so if you lose your hd you can still get on the net.
Maybe e-mail a friend to help you get it fixed *shrug*
I guess it would be pretty useless unless you have a problem and might be something some people would not even want on their motherboard.

got today my P5E

first test



but it need ~1.50v NB voltage (P5K-E do it with 1.25v!)



Btw VCore Droop is 0.024 - 0.032v (Voltage damper enabled!), P5K-E only 0.008v

[purecain]

if only the maximus bios would work on the p5e. i knew the boards looked identical.

[flaker]

Voltage Damper option doesn't work yet...
If you want, here is vDroop point I figured out and tested...

have a vary similer issue with asus p5w dh it turned out to be a usb device in my case a poket pc removed it from the usb and issue gone. only other thing don't move your mouse or hit a key on keyboard

They are identical in BIOs too? (I guess...)

[DFI pit bull]

Perhaps someone who's mad or has a spare bios chip could flash with the maximus bios.

or

• CrashFree BIOS 3
Simply restore corrupted BIOS data from USB flash disk
The ASUS CrashFree BIOS 3 allows users to restore corrupted BIOS data from a USB flash disk containing the BIOS file. This utility saves users the cost and hassle of buying a replacement BIOS chip.

Could this also work?

I got my P5E today. I am going to set it tomorrow. The other day I downloaded 0201 beta bios from official asus site. Today I checked the site, there are no bios at all.
I checked asus FTP site and there are 0107 and new 0203 bios. No 0201 bios. Any idea?

[DEVIL K-ce]

Upgrade P5E from stock bios to 0201 and 0203 ... all voltage control option not work for me

Any special combination for working voltage option ?

first time set them if you write the voltage with numpad...

than save & exit. after this you can change them with +/- (numpad)

I can't see Voltage damper option in new 0203 bios.
