Official ASUS X38 Boards: P5E, P5E3 - Info/BIOS Thread

[Bigchrome]

Conductive pen would be way too conductive! I used a 2B pencil this morning took me 17.8s (timed) and I went from (1.55v set) 1.48 to 1.53 and no variation under load.

Haha, maybe I'll just have to open my case and do the mod as well...

[Infa]

Hmm got this problem yesterday when i tried to flash to 504...
my bios went corrupt, or it works, but its all f-up at boot, it takes 30 mins to just go get into ez flash again, and i cant fit the ROM on a floppy anymore couse its 2MB... and USB do work, but it doesnt find any rom on it...

why have this happend? dont get it ...

Do!

Unfortunately doesn't help that Its impossible for me to have anything stable other than <400, and exactly 500fsb. Every one I want is outside that range.

Try pulling the CMOS battery out for a few minutes then try booting up.

Well, I guess I'm just going to wait for a while for a bios update for LLC to fix the vdroop issue. If that doesn't happen within a month or so, I'll try the pencil mod. I'm a bit hesitant of using a conductive pen since that would most likely be the end of warranty.

Go into the bios and enable Loadline Calibration, I just did that and it has no more vdroop.

Yes, I know about the option, but it's not working with the P5E yet, you've got the Maximus. I'm pretty sure that it will be working with the next bios update.

570 MHz x 6 on air for max screen

560 MHz x 9 on cascade for max screen

550 MHz x 9 on cascade for 32M PI

Mobo P5E not maxed volt.

Wow!

How did you reach that high of a clock? Is my board a lemon?

What are your voltage settings?

what is the resistance for a no.2 pencil?...answer!

we assumed that the contact resistance of the pencil was negligible.

What's this?

[Ace-a-Rue]

just what this says!

[DualCore]

wasup, maybe buy the asus p5e but, i have some question, it have some problem whit TR 120 ultra extreme ? putting the cooler in this position :



some issue whit the heatpipes of the cooler ?

[DEVIL K-ce]

Maybe You have crappy CPU with low FSB wall ?

My settings - 1.6-1.75V on MCH and 2.2V on CPU PLL for more than 540MHz FSB.

Vcore, vdimm, vsb ... settings for used hardware. so not the same for any user.

My TRUE is in the same position. No problems at all.

[oscar3d]

I think I will need to start my own thread for the P5E3 Deluxe Wi-Fi.

My former question wasn't taken into consideration. No hard feelings

But I sincerely think that this official thread has been somehow mixed with the Maximus Formula, the P5E3, P5E3 Deluxe and P5E3, which I think have some similarities but definetely different flavors. And I need specifics.

I really want to concentrate into BIOS settings of the P5E3 boards. And so far I haven't found any info on it, except Vdroop modes and LLC.

I remember what a gread thread was the P5W DH thread in this forum, it has about 300 hundred pages of information.

So with the permission of the mods I will start my own thread and no disrispects or hard feelings, I'm just looking for specific innformation on Express Gate problems and I haven't found answers so far.

Could someone with an E6600 or similiar that can get stable above 3.6ghz please give me all their settings? 3.6Ghz stable for 2 hrs for me and 3.7ghz not a hope (less than 2 minutes) I used to be able to orthos at 3.8ghz on my old board but on this one I can super pi 32m but anything dualcore= instant crash. Any ideas? Oh, i also can't run my ram (4 diff sticks PC6400 ballistix) at cas3 at all.

[Ace-a-Rue]

you need to update your signature so everyone knows what board, memory, heatsink and so forth.

[Bigchrome]

Sorry, will be done by the time you read this.
So any ideas?

put the memory into 1:1 ratio with the FSB...carry loose timings like CAS 5, 5-5-15 (or higher=tRAS) and 42 (tRC) and 2T.

what vcore and vdimm are you using (actual versus bios set)

[Bigchrome]

Tried every ratio and strap there... They will work for 412X8 but not 412x9 so it doesn't seem to be ram related. (and my rams can run 1200+ anyway) Have also tried 5-5-5-12 42 and 2t (that's exactly what I'm using act.)

Using 1.55 vcore set to give me 1.525 in windows under idle and load. Vdimm is 2.0-2.3v (doesn't seem to make a diff) I have also tried vcore up to 1.75v...

[Ace-a-Rue]

ok...try only one stick of memory in every dimm slot...see what happens.

[Bigchrome]

Will do.... Just Dling aquamark first.

Edit: Ok, fails in all slots with all sticks. at One core on it's own passes orthos but two toghether= instant fail. Cpu dead?

ok just found a bug with the p5e bios, not sure if all bios revisions will have this , i think mine is 201. anyway my pc would work fine and then the next day my overclock (i thought) became unstable and wouldnt let me into windows xp or vista.
i could here this spinning which i thought was one of my hard drives trying to access data. well i was sort of right. if you have a disc in your dvd drive the bios for some reason starts to search for info from it. constantly spinning up and obviously failing as its accessing the wrong drive.
this is a really wierd one as i have never seen this kind of problem before or had a bios ignore my settings this way. i got my ear close to the pc and realised it was the dvd drive spinning up so i took out the W.I.Conflict disc and it booted up no problems.
i've had this issue every morning if i ran my ram above 1000mhz. but with disk out the problem is gone. hope this helps anyone else having similar issues booting up in a morning.
by the way my boot time into vista is usually 15 seconds....from bios to user selection screen.

Did U try to change Ya bootpriorities in BIOS - I mean first floppy then hard drive and CD ROM last ?
