[wideband]

Hello,

nice review over at hardocp. the final words point to some possible hard drive issues but in general the word is good

[Leeghoofd]

Hehehe P5Q3 Dlx mate it's the DDR3 version... will have to give the E8500 a go then tomorrow to see if it's the same ordeal here...

And for BigJoe's SS mine can do it too




K Made some sort of Template (need to redo it slightly to add all the extra ram features)

Nice Quad FSB, what about that perf level problem?

[R@ptor =]]]

What's is the function of pci express sata voltage?

Nobody?
sorry for the questions, I'm curious!

[The Nemesis]

Any info on availabilty in the states. Now that I see 500FSB on 45nm quad my opinion is completely revearsed.

[loonym]

It's at newegg $209

[R@ptor =]]]

More cheap than i expected...but later will be more cheap, and it's the first mobos, They are the first revisions yet, they can come with some bugs etc...
I'll wait a while..maximus 2 formula it's much expensive in the release..

[R@ptor =]]]

What bugs? The man already is hitting 500fsb.........this ain't nFarce boards. Nor DFI or MSI.


Asus and Intel Core Logics, ftw!


I was planning on an upgrade for 2010 but my fingers are itching again, so this P45 and the ICH10-R will do me good, and I'm still able to use my beloved D9GMH modules along with the newly purchased BFG 9800GTX (arriving Monday June 8th).

Now, onto the wait for the 45nm 12MB L2 cache CPU.....around Xmas that is, when Nahalem hits the market and you guys start ditching those. I'll get a deal from one of you. I'll be waiting.

In the beginning, the x38 and x48 seemed to be the best chipset, with best mobos. But those who had memories crucial and thought the x38 mobos its the best and bought the x38 did not do a good business, because the crucial announced the incompatibility of your memorys with x38 and x48. This is just one example of the problems that are likely to occur!

[BigJoe]

@R@ptor =]]
Sorry mate but you talk too mauch, so less talk, more read

@Leeghoofd
Hahahaa very nice man
It's glad to se Yorkfield @ 500FSB

[R@ptor =]]]

I am only commenting on what really can happen, just gave my opinion mate..
Sorry if you don't like
Waiting for more results on this wonderful mobo!

[havu2000]

hi i'm Vietnamese . my P5Q-E
Ram Patriot PC8500
Water cooler

[WhiteFireDragon]

hi i'm Vietnamese

lol thats makes all the difference

anyways, upon this first release of p45 in the US, hopefully all the other p45's will be on shelfs soon also (like within the next few days)

[loonym]

Nice clocks havu2000, thanks for posting and welcome to the forum

[LUCI5R]

Is there any "Real" advantage ... in terms of OC'ing/Performance that P45 has over the P35?
I just got my ASUS P5K-E/Wifi-AP (p35) and i'm having some problems with it. I might end up RMA'ing it back to the 'egg ... and I'm considering getting this one. There's 4 versions of P5Q (P45) at ZipZoomFly ... varying costs ... not sure which one is better.
I'll be running Q9450 in it.

[STaRGaZeR]

What bugs? The man already is hitting 500fsb.........this ain't nFarce boards. Nor DFI or MSI.

The man is also having problems with perf. level at high FSB. You don't want 500FSB or any FSB if the perf. level has to be 11 or 12

[MomijiTMO]

Well, why stick with mediocre memory modules and or brand? I've never own 'em and never will.

GIGABYTE boards have that issue but memory incompatibility is not the chipset problem if when other memory modules/brand work just as good.

I've never had memory incompatibility issues because I've always bought good reputable brands such as Corsair and now G.Skill. Crucial is a poor quality company (but they advertise like there's no tomorrow, so everyone thinks they're good), specially with their "Anniversary" RAM which several owners ended up RMA'ing. Get G.Skill and you won't have "memory incompatibility" issues, the Chipset accepts only good quality memory modules.

Like having a BMW and filling it up with 89 grade gas.......would you do that?

I don't agree with you.

Who owns Crucial? Micron. There's just a bad batch of D9s that seem to have ended up in Tracers.

Or well that's how I see it . I'm open for some critique.

[Chri$ch]

ok, i think this board dont like my Corsair Dominator PC2-8500 (cant boot 500FSB with 1:1 divider!).

now i tried with a 512MB PC2-6400 Ballistix stick and i can boot 520FSB with ~1.3v NB voltage...

[Leeghoofd]

Glad you got it going somehow mate...and you are not the only one with issues with these sticks (on many more mobo's) Did you try TB disabled and setting power level yourself ? which Strap did you use ?

A screenie, I could prime my Qx9650@3600 with the P5K dlx with LLC enabled at 1.135 (Small FFT's), with the P5Q Dlx I can do it at 1.120 without LLC (1.2Vcore set in bios, drops to 1.17 in windows) So the new PWM design seems to be very worth it...

retail p5q deluxe comes with 0506 bios

this board is plagued with ram computability issues

so far..

team xtreem PC2-6400 Cl3s 4x1gb... 3 sticks work one stick no boot
crucial PC2-6400 2x2gb.. only can run in single channel..

both rams are working fine on LT X48's
tested, retested..

[ic3m4n2005]

Oh man when does this end, using customers as beta testers

[R@ptor =]]]

Look some problems showing.
that is what I was talking about.
And I also do not agree on the point, which is a crucial memories of low quality. The only problem was with the last batch of memories, with a quality that are horrible!

Soz but if 3 out of 4 sticks work and one doesn't think problem is more with that dimm then... for the Crucials no idea why....

I tried Mushkin PC8000 4gb kit and now working on Gskill PC8000 Kit at 1066Mhz 5-5-5-15 1.94volt... will try the Gskill PC8000 4-4-4-5 next week and see if 1200mhz is okay...

This board requires again a total different setup coming from P35 or X38 to get there...

And a new bios is in the making, I had some issues with 400FSB/1000mhz ram 0604 Alpha seemed to fixed it...

Did some testing at 400FSB (425 and 450 will come later) to see how the performance levels are set by bios and how low manual it worked

400FSB and Ram at 800Mhz -- Bios sets 13 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 9 (8 doesn't post)

400FSB and Ram at 1003Mhz -- Bios sets 10 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 7

400FSB and Ram at 1066Mhz -- Bios sets 9 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 7

Here are the screenshots; CPU at 3200mhz, Ram at 5-5-5-15 (TRFC 55)







Think we still need some more work there Asus engineers to get the board up to speed...

EDIT :

450FSB and Ram at 900Mhz -- Bios sets 13 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 10

450FSB and Ram at 1081Mhz -- Bios sets 10 perf level at AUTO setting -- Lowest manual is 8

[Gr8 Vivec]

Is there any difference in bios between P5Q-E and Dlx? Is it possible to flash dlx bios into P5Q-E?
thanks

eh p5q deluxe
and p5q premium ( this has 4 pci express)

are 16 phases
the rest are 8.

[TouGe]

Ordered P5Q-D today, should be here by Tuesday.

Leeghoofd, you hit a PL7 @ 1066MHz on a 400FSB with what RAM configuration, 4x1GB or 2x2GB, and what brand were you using?

I've got a whole mess of DDR2 to work with:
4x1GB Cellshock PC8500 D9GMH
4x1GB Mushkin PC8500 D9GMH
4x1GB Patriot PC8500 D9GKX
2x2GB OCZ FlexII PC9200 Powerchips

Which RAM does this board prefer, D9GMH, D9GKX, or powerchips?

I'd prefer to use 4x1GB since I can pull tighter timmings with 4 sticks over the 2x2 configuration and I'd like to use the Cellshocks since they seem to clock higher.

Is their a Beta BIOS available from their FTP site or is the 0506 the latest BIOS?

Thanks....

Edit

Will I need to do a format? I'm currently on my Maximus Formula x38 using the latest drivers from station drivers, 8.2.0.1001 which includes the ICH10.
