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

[necron66]

Ppl, it's maybe a shame but i'm for the first time on a Asus board !

I got mine Asus P5E 2 days now, got my Q6600 on 1.42Vcore stable on 4Ghz. All the other voltage options i picked auto.

But my question is, how can i get 475 x 9 stable on this board. I mean, i went from a P35-DQ6 with little but usefull settings to a P5E with MUCH settings. Dunno what is what for...

Would you be able to PM me your bios settings that your using? I posted a list of them a few pages back. Would be much appricated. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=889

Vdroop/Vdrop mod for Asus P5E works great.

First:

BIOS = 1.537 V
IDLE = 1.472 V
LOAD = 1.432 V

After:

BIOS = 1.537 V
IDLE = 1.520 V
LOAD = 1.528 V

I'm happy, no I can run my Q6600 on 4Ghz with only 1.42V under load.
But still my question, how can I reach 475Mhz on this board ?

Is this the pencil mod from the pic a few pages back? I got a improvment but I don't think that good. http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...&postcount=870

My new cpu clocks better in my DS3P so I may put the quad back on this P5E, but I had a terribal time with the bios on it (running 601 currently)

Due to the FSB limitation of the Quads you might not get 475FSB with 1, on my other board I couldn't get above 465FSB with mine.
