First touch ASUS P5N-T Deluxe new nForce 780i

**dccmadams** · 01-13-2008, 09:33 AM

I bought this mobo also, installed windows xp, installed drivers from cd, crashed after sitting on desktop for 30 seconds. tried different ram, video card, disabled onboard sound, no go. tried default settings. no difference. I am using a x3210 quadcore that works perfectly in my other system. I called motherboardpro.com about returning the mobo and was told i wasn't the only one having problems with the new asus mobo, I sent it back, ordered a p5e, sold my 2 8800gt cards, ordered 2 3850 512mb cards. I have tried 3 different nvidia chipset asus mobos, can't get any oc at all, sometimes no default at all, on my quadcore cpu. All this pain in the butt to try and get sli rig up and running. My quad fired up with no probs in the p5e, 3.2 in like 2 minutes. videocards will be here tommorrow. No nvidia for me for a while....if i had not tried 3 times already, i might have the patience to try the evga version...sick of swapping mobo's and installing windows, just to be let down over and over. I only need it to play diablo 2 smoothly anyway....

SB/NB TDP seems to be the same as before, hot like asian babies

And... some photos. Performance shootouts after NDA lol

And finally - where does it come from

Please remove that nasty red thing on each photo

I cannot get this thing to post with a 400fsb. I have about run out of things to try here. Can someone who has gotten 400fsb or better post their voltage settings please.

**pmp** · 01-13-2008, 01:25 PM

nFo: hehe

okay.
Gitsum: i found that with 0602 P5N-T is not stable at FSB400

But with 0402 it was

notice that i'm using Yorkfield. With 1st BIOS releases i was able to go even with Kentsfield close to 505 MHz.

But, after all, i found it as stable, and damn decent motherboard for 24/7 daily PC

**Gitsum** · 01-13-2008, 01:37 PM

Where did you get 602 bios?

Also, please post your voltage settings for everything. Thanks.

**pmp** · 01-13-2008, 01:51 PM

Everything except VCore (1.33V) is set to Auto.

**NEvolution** · 01-13-2008, 02:11 PM

Yea, where did you get the 0602 bios?

I haven't had any luck running SLI on this board. It just doesn't seem to detect it.

(Btw, it's not my sig rig.)

**Gitsum** · 01-13-2008, 02:26 PM

Well, I just killed mine updating the bios. Was using EZFlash from within bios and everything seemed to go fine but now it won't reboot. No post.

Ahh looking sounds good for P5N-T with Yorkfield but from your run 4GHz it same all 4-core freq. ? and did you get the 0602 bios ?

Thanks for update and sharing

**Zedsky** · 01-13-2008, 03:38 PM

Am really curious about this 0602 bios. I'm having a horrible time getting my P5N-T going with SLI and just general OC'ing.

Can't hotflash in another mobo?

**joe.denice** · 01-13-2008, 05:43 PM

i am telling you guys, this board so far is starting out not to be soo good.

**badboy** · 01-13-2008, 09:56 PM

Mine only posted for about 15 minutes then out of the blue I got no video signal and harddrive light stays on constantly. NB gets really hot and I put a fan blowing directly on it. It will turn on but post any bios screen

**Dihon** · 01-14-2008, 04:25 AM

Anyone got lucky with retail Q9650 or other Yorkfield ?
Rumor said 780i can't run with them cause Intel change the micro code for retail ones ????

**nuclearjock** · 01-14-2008, 05:06 AM

My XFX 780i ran my retail 9650 flawlessly.

The p5n-t not so. Wont oc, multi won't go past 9x. Rock stable at stock though for what that's worth.

I'd also like to know where pmp got the 602...

Wish I hadn't flashed up from 402 to 502. But the website said support for 9650 on rev. 1.02G and 502 so I did.

I'm giving them (Asus) 7 days, then it's back to the XFX board and this one's going back.

I'm an Asus fanboy, but not when the board won't oc.

Shame on you Asus!!!

**unicron02** · 01-14-2008, 10:20 AM

Finally got things working after 3 reinstalls of the OS. The system however still randomly powers off. It has powered off while gaming, while installing software, and while doing absolutley nothing in the middle of the night. I have checked temp logs and it doesn't seem like anything is overheating. NB/SB stay steady around 42 C, CPU at about 35C, GPU at about 50C.

Nope. i found it today, that 3rd/4rd core multi is set to x6

New build with fix will be released today.

I wonder if above bug applies also to reference eVGA/XFX 780i boards?

Yah it same my problem, for this problem i seen on P5N-T and Striker Formula II
it will work only Core0/1 for freq. from we setting but core2/3 will only run on
x6 multi every time though on default clock or fsb of CPU

btw. if i see other problem i'll let you know

**Dan_c** · 01-15-2008, 02:33 AM

Hi all!... Can any off you stick an E8500 on this board?
I don't have acces to any other 780i board, because Evga and Xfx haven't heard of Romania yet, so I must do with what I can... It's a new build, and a quad isn't justified (I need high clocks, not multicores), and Asus is a bit shy on the phone... they go like: "that revision... that bios... maybe, it might... we don't know yet..."

don't plan on heavy clocks, maybe a 400fsb...
Sli Gainward GT Glh... and 2x2 gig Mushkin

**ZoLKoRn** · 01-15-2008, 02:45 AM

Hi Dan_c... from your topic, i already only Xeon E3110(E8400 spec) i'll try it for you but not sure for when is answer because i very busy now

**Dan_c** · 01-15-2008, 02:54 AM

Thanks... looking forward!

I don't know why I'm so set on an NV chipset... I just didn't like the way Intel pulled this one...

Nice can't wait. Will this be the 0602 build?

**nuclearjock** · 01-15-2008, 07:30 AM

Here is 0602 (from Asus forums):

**Gitsum** · 01-15-2008, 08:59 AM

Anyone have an idea how I can fix my bios on this board?
After a recent flash, it no longer will post at all.

Unfortunately, new bios chip or rma or return it to where you bought it.
