Asus P5E3 Premium Wi-fi-AP

[Telo]

I have that board along with an Intel Q9450 w/ 4GB of OCZ3P1800. My issue is this, I can neither boot all 4GBs without having it freeze on me, nor can I slightly OC it [not even to 1600FSB]. I have imaged two different Raptor X drives with Vista 64 and XP 64; switched the RAM into other slots and everything, but the freezing keeps happening. What do you guys think is the issue here? I'm blaming the board, because on top of all that it does not even boot into nor show me the Express Gate feature. I called in an RMA already, but since I'm getting the same board again I would like to get some feddback as what I could be doing wrong. Thanks for your time.

Hi Guys,
anybody else having problems (or not) with the P5E3 Premium Wifi (Bios 0204) and the ASUS EN9800GX2 Graphics card? I am getting no video signal at all from this card...(standard PCIE cheap graphics is fine!).

I have noticed there are BIOS updates 0401 for the P5E3 Premium (no Wifi) which allege improved VGA compatibility but that is for a "different" board - nothing for the P5E3 Premium Wifi beyond 0204 (anyone running 0401 on a Wifi edition Mobo or know if it is compatible?).

I am at the point of RMAing the graphics card.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Regards and Thanks!

I believe 0401 is for both. I flashed mine without any problem. In fact, I haven't seen the the non-Wifi anywhere, does it even exist?

You have to connect to the DVI I/O nº1. On my Asus GX2 it's the one next to the HDMI I/O, if i connect to the DVI I/O nº2 there's no video signal when i startup the system.

Thanks JohnMike - unfortunately already tried both to no avail! Either an MB incompatibility or a GFX card issue I fear! I am RMAing the GFX card now and will see what transpires!

If anyone else has P5E3 Premium and ASUS EN9800GX2 - I'd appreciate their experiences....Thanks!

Did you try both VGA ports?


I am having trouble with 9800GX2 performance - only been doing 01 nature but I am taking a huge FPS hit compared to a 790I board. Seems like the PCI-E bandwidth is somehow limited since rasing PCI-E frequencies gives a big boost in FPS.

ANyone has similar problems?
