ASUS P5B-Deluxe; Problems & Fixes

[Metro]

okay :P but what about the mem tim ?

have you ran the boot disc with memtest ?

Yes I have run memtest on all the kits. This Gskill KITT is the second I have to test. The first had a problem.
I can't relate the probelms with the mems. I have tried multiple settings, run with SPD enabled also.
Lets hope that the new BIOS will improve this. If not I will change board. For 3.2Ghz (mems will be 1:1 without OC on it) I'm thinking P5K or P5E. I want to have 4X 2GB on the board and will have full load all the time so I don't want a big OC.

Yes, but you are using a Yorkie, has lower VID & runs cooler. If we are talking a 65nm, they tend to not run as good on the p5bd.

This one is 45nm. I really think my problems become from the board with this setup. This same board have run a Q6600@3.0Ghz 24h full load for at least 6 months

If you want to see how stable your rig really is, run WCG 24/7 & see how it handles it. Running Pi 1m doesnt show anything about stability unless your going for max oc.

That is wath I need
I have no trouble running 1M Super Pi.

so your looking at just getting 3.2Ghz ?

[DOM.]

right now im primeing at 3.2GHz small fft Im going to let it run all day if it can

also the vdoop mod is easy you should do it, im going to redo mine as this Q makes it drop on load cuz my dual core didnt, and + I did it like in 9-2007

i'll post all my bios settings so you can try

Yes. 4 cores at 3,2 for folding 24H. In Portugal the summer is hot so with air cooling I want a save margin. I need most is stability.

Thanks. But me big question remains. Your CPU is different from mine. The problem is the cpu.
But put your screens because if a few hours I will be at home and I will change the BIOS and test if all works. I really hope so

well I understand dont want to kill it I dont want to also

LOL why do you say there different there the same just mines a Xeon and c1 thats the only thing different I might need less volts but thats about it

I colud not resist and have put the CPU 3.2Ghz with the FSB 400. That is my goal. It is running OCCT. Lets hope it will work ok.

One problem that I have and need your advice is about the voltage of the 12V, 5V and 3.3. The BIOS displays one information, the OCCT. With the multimeter I have diferent values.
In my OCZ 550W I can regulate the lines but wath should I take to guide me?
The last question is were do I measure the 3,3V with the multimeter.

well whats showing in windows, what are you using to read the volts ? and I have to look to see which wires you need to read the 12v, 5v, 3.3

oh yeah its still running at 1.160v full load 3.2GHz on 4hrs

My bad. I assume it add less cache.

I have config the volts in BIOS and now in Windows in OCCT is very different.

The multimeter for the 12V and 5V line is ok. The 3,3V I have not discovered yet. I will stay with the values from the multi.

oh yeah its still running at 1.160v full load 3.2GHz on 4hrs

It as run OCCT for one hour without problem but after 20 minutes folding and doing other stuff on the PC it as freeze
I have look at the board and mine is from the same revision as yours so I really don't now what to think.
I probably will buy another board. Maybe the P5K because it is cheap.

[DOM.]

what v-core is it on load on OCCT ? you might need more v-core thats how it was with me on F@H SMP it ran for 6hrs at 3.6GHz Prime95 but froze also like maybe 20mins after SMP

yeah there the same 12MB L2 with the 8 multi

well it ran for 6hr 28mins going to put it to F@H SMP see if it can take it :p I think SMP is better then all the other software to check for stableness
