ASUS P5E64 WS Evolution - Tips, Tricks, Mods, BIOS, OCing & More...

[xt0m]

Found this one over at review... Will try later today

Seems valid enough with ezflash/asusupdate, gonna give it a try in a bit

[haya_gann]

I bought MotherBoard that X48 got on and five pieces were bought.
The goodness was Evolution.

0501 is tested tonight.

Board flashed and up and running again. No visible differences in BIOS that I can see but have to admit that I have only glanced through it after flashing. Started some OC'ing to see if 0501 BIOS is more FSB friendly for my Quad but initial findings seems to indicate less clockability. Will experiment more lately and try some more Volts. Please prove me wrong...

[StimulatedBoy]

After some more testing it seems that there is nothing wrong with BIOS 0501 as compared to 0401, which I found very stabile. It also seems that at least SuperPI is benchable on higher MHz with 0501 than 0401 as I now managed to run 1 Mill. at 4,909,5 and also managed to CPU-Z verify at a higher frequency as well (4.983MHz). All runs on my 24/7 machine with a loads of processes running in the background and with no tweaking of disk or Vista Ultimate what so ever.

thanks for the info. i will update to 501 tomorrow

[ZoLKoRn]

Some my results with E7200 on max FSB tried so this mobo it's very very impressive for FSB

Pi1M@581FSB (7.5x multi)


Pi32M@581FSB (7x multi)


E7200@4.4GHz(550FSB)

[jabski]

thanks Zolkorn look forward to seeing max fsb on 9.5 multi. I am going to try my E7200 on mine Thursday.

Very nice - plz can You post some settings for the 2:3 divider.

Me and many others can only run 1:1 & 1:2 divider with this board, so I wonder what's the trick ?

Thanks !!!

[OverClocker_gr]

These are my settings with the 0115

For later bioses you must NOT set the fsb strap to Auto.
With these settings i can use the 2/3 and the 5/8 dividers(1744 - 1857)



And here are fresh results :p

hi
I have some problems with 4GB@1800 1T for spi 32 mb
the ram don't like this frequency
I have tried with c8 and high voltage but win give me BSOD whit this test

4GB@1600 T1 done



Setting:
FSB Strap-auto
vfsb-1,28
vnb-1,39
vdram-1,88 in bios

I need a 4GB Overclocking Kit

P.S.
I use blue slot

On my setting and boost from bios

CPU Ratio : 7.5
FSB Strap : 266
FSB Freq : 581
PCIE Freq : 101

DRAM Static Read : Auto
DRAM Dynamic Write : Auto
AI Clock Twister : Auto
AI Transaction : Auto ( Maybe Manual and setting = 9 )

CPU Voltage : 1.7500
CPU GTL : 0.63x
CPU PLL : 1.64
FSB : 1.44

NB : 1.55
NB GTL : 0.61x
SB : 1.20
Clock Over : 0.7
Load-Line : Performance
CPU Spread : Disable
PCIE Spread : Disable

For Sub-Timing i setting follow SPD showing but have something not good it's Performance Level = 9 if change to 8 it not boot if setting CL6 perf lvl will good it'll boot at 6 too

Thanks

why do you use 201 bios?

[ZoLKoRn]

why do you use 201 bios?

I don't like or need to update bios if i don't met problem on it

[Sav]

you can set the strap manually with the old bios

[camouflage]

Thanks for the infos guys - will help a lot.

Up and running My first DDR3 board so a lot of work to be done. Started testing mem vdimm 1.96v bios. What you guys use to read vdimm in windows?

Nothing - sadly this board has no sensor type to show Vdimm - so You are not able to read it in WINDOWS.

# Sav,
My experiences with my 2x2GB Corsair memory (1800 Dominator, see sig) with respect to running them at DDR1800 are:
1) It is mandatory to use the BLACK slots.
2) Use the 333 FSB strap to NB.
3) I advice to use Memtest 86+ v. 2.01 to test when tweaking for the right settings - errors will come fast (especially test 5) and you have a good idea what is causing the errors.
4) 1N is possible.
5) You need 1.5+ NB voltage (and I suggest active or watercooling on NB).

I have spent a LOT of time (and godwill from xt0m, thanks) trying to run DDR1800 stable. I wasted a lot of time Priming (e.g. 7 h stable blend test that suddenly would give an BSOD at ordinary use) at settings that made errors within few minutes in Memtest. Therefore I will not yet brag about beeing stable at that speed. However, now I have found settings at 9x450, DDR1800 cabable of completing at least 2 full passes. Tomorrow I will tell if it is truely stable in Memtest and then I will Prime to see whether the settings are stable in Windows when the CPU is loaded as well.

I'm sure you can't wait until tomorrow to se my settings so here they are (even though I can not claim they are truely stable yet or the voltages can not be lowered):

BIOS 0501
Multi: 9
FSB strap: 333
FSB: 450
PCIE: 100
DRAM: 1800
CMD: 1N

Primary timings: 8-8-8-25, the rest Auto
2nd and 3rd timings: All Auto
Dynamic and static read/write control: both Disable

CPU: 1.4625
CPU GTL: 0.65
PLL: 1.5
FSB TV: 1.4
NB: 1.55
NB GTL: 0.61
SB: Auto
C O-C V: Auto
LLC: Performance

Hope this will help you and others struggeling with 2x2GB memory.

****UPDATE: The above settings are Memtest 86+ v. 2.01 stable for 8 h+ (18 full passes) so at least the memory is stable. Priming at the moment with the same settings.****

Thanks. Whats measure point for vdimm or does someone has an idea already how much it over/undervolts vdimm ??

Vdimm over/undervolt differs from board to board - best measure point is in a free ramslot itself.....................

Mine was playing up today on bios 501. Max fsb on my E8500 on multi 7 = 580fsb. Wouldnt boot 400fsbx9.5
Going to try my Kingston sticks over the weekend. Think the bios still need a few updates

[Holmer]

The settings that were stable in Memtest was not stable in Prime95. Right now I am Priming with the following settings (changes in bold):
Multi: 9
FSB strap: 333
FSB: 450
PCIE: 100
DRAM: 1800
CMD: 1N

Primary timings: 8-8-8-25, the rest Auto

Dynamic and static read/write control: both Disable

CPU: 1.4625
CPU GTL: 0.63x
PLL: 1.5
FSB TV: 1.36
NB: 1.55
NB GTL: 0.67
SB: Auto
C O-C V: Auto

***UPDATE the above settings are at least 12 hours Prime95 (small FTT) stable, now testing Prime95 blend.***

Thanks !!!

I switched to Bios 0115 and I can run any divider I've tried. It made the board come alive for me.

thank you OverClocker_gr

[OverClocker_gr]

you re welcome

the 0115 have an issue with the 1/2.
be aware from this divider :p
