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

[Millyons]

Na thats not correct mate. Those readings you are seeing for NB, SB ect are false. The P5E has those sensors removed (making it cheaper than the Maximums), so what you are seeing with the rampage bios is not correct, so don't make descions based off that.

Is that 100% tested and correct?

I see that the P5E are missing the external sensors, but actualy how can they remove sensors out of the winbound chips that do it


wyemarn> can you test that out by changing values in bios and see if the changes?

Temp readings for NB and SB is availabe but they are not correct because sensor is missing. I'm not sure about voltage readings though. I'll try changing those values and report back. Everest can display all the voltage readings too with Rampage bios. I'll try changing the voltages and report back.

The only 1 had tested with DMM is vDIMM, and what it said in the Rampage bios for vDIMM was way under what I had set in the bios and what in reality the overvolt gave me.

I guess they can't remove the sensors out of the winbond chip, but they can excluse to put the other end of the sensor on, if thats how it works.

I'm happy to load up a Rampage bios and measure things like NB, SB, VTT ect and make a comparision if you want to provide a nice detailed picture of the read points.

I like bios 0702

[aiya_au]

0702 bios made my computer not boot. i got no video signal. i unpluged the power from the wall, took out the bios battery, triggered the switch, left its for 10mins, booted up, no video signal.

took my pc8500 ram out, put in my bro's pc6400 ram, it booted up fine, lowered the ram speed. put my crucials ballistix back in, its all working fine again.

asus, how about fix the ram problem already!! it was running at 500 5-5-5-15 when it wasn't booting. its meant to run at 533 5-5-5-15. its now running at 445mhz until u fix the dam problem thats been around for so long...

Same here, just get a blank screen when powering up.. and I don't have any other ram

Any ideas?
