Half multis.

So who here has the inside communication track with ASUS's Taiwan BIOS coders? ASUS US tech support stright up tells you that they have no ability to pass along any BIOS feedback. That's GHEY.

THAT is TYPICAL ASUS "NON-TECH" support....... Better get used to it.....

ok just installed 2nd D9GMH crucial kit , bios 402 running rock stable , no problems whatsoever.

[Bigchrome]

Half multis.

And N being a natural number..../2? Why can't they just say .5 multis?

Which bios?

[Brahmzy]

Which bios?

Bwah! Now that's funny.

[ea6gka]

ok loaded 405 , for the love of god DO NOT LOAD THIS BIOS !!!!111!1 it completely messed my bios settings plus sets 2.6 vcore automatically. i dont believe this , is asus testing the bioses before they relase it?

[ea6gka]

now i cant flash any bios i have , ez flash not working as well as AU. AU says i dont have an asus mobo and ez flash that my bios is older than onboard and stops.....

.....

....

[Ace-a-Rue]

can't you do a DOS flash using AFUDOS?

[WeldZilla]

Well that is not fair.... I worked 11 hours today so it has only been a short evening.
Still running the bios that came on the board. Good enough for me.
Today I turned the fsb to 425 and tightened the memory to 4-4-4-8 and it is running out just fine. It has now blown away anything I ever did with this chip on my P5W.
Oh early on in this thread someone mentioned that the Swiftech Apogee did not fit because of some cooling fins. Well I bent my fins to make it f!it
OK here is the pic.

Like a glove!!
now here is a couple tests I rant at 3825mhz. Pi anyone?

Then I ran 06 with my 8800GTX at stock just to check the cpu score.
Oh, and to see if it would run it tight after the pi... it did.

Oh and one more shot just for the fun of it!

I got to tell you I am really starting to like this board maybe a little more than I should.....woohoo........ it is kinda sexy...
I amazed how my G.Skill 6400HZ is getting close to DDR1100!

It's all good here!!

Asus P5E3 Deluxe Bios 0704

not tested
no changelog

@WeldZilla

Do you really need 1.624 vcore for 3.825 Mhz? I am on 3.6 Mhz prime and OCCT stable with just 1.376 vcore

[mascaras]

hi guys

i bought a P5E for my new rig , my question is:

when i set for example 1.9vdim in bios , the Asusuite show 2.0v or 2.1v

or 1.95v bios = 2.15v in Asusite

and so on ..............


whats the correct voltage???'

i already tried all Bios , and all seems to do same thing , now im with 0303 bios






regards

[kup]

The higher value is correct, this board, or rather this PCB (both the Maximus and the P5E) overvolt the ram significantly!!!

[WeldZilla]

you know I will have to turn it down as I go. I always start volts high and go down from there. But if i have to run higher volts I don't care. I want the clocks if 3600 were enough for me I wouild still be running my P5W DH cuz it would run this prossy x4 at 3600 and was faster while doing it. I got this board to run faster, if that means up to 1.675v then so be it. I could care less.
People used to fret cuz I ran my 2.4C SL6Z3 at 1.7V daily.Well it is 4 years old and still going... So do not get excited by my volts...

thats a nice overclock how are your temps? i didnt know the 6600 could hit 3.6 on air.

[mcoleg]

any reviews on P5E WS yet? it's finally here but no one seems to know how well it clocks... makes it hard to decide what to get.

[mascaras]

And the Vdroop point I figured out and tested!!


Before mod, 1,425v bios - 1,38v idle PC Probe - 1,36v full PC Probe
After mod, 1,425v bios - 1,4v idle PC Probe - 1,4v full PC Probe..
Tested with C2D only.. Have no idea yet for C2Q...

anyone know where is the Vcore measure points ????

[BailA]

Hi,the Team Xtreem DDR2 667MHz PC5300 work fine with the P5E?
Thank's

[Brahmzy]

anyone know where is the Vcore measure points ????

Good question. I didn't know about the overvolt deal on this mobo.

Better bust out da meter.

[white_zombie]

I have these memories and gives me that the problem with the motherboard P5E is that they do not give sufficient voltage to the reports to post. I have to enter the bios with other memories, raises the voltage and then put the teamxtream mem,

for me the best bios it´s 107 because i test the latest bios and have problem.
