now i played a little bit with the performance level and come to 615FSB

i can boot 600FSB out of the bios

[marcin255]

What has temperatures NB LC as well AC ?

stress and idle ? Near 600 FSB

[Chri$ch]

i dont know the nb temperatures, its @ stock nb cooling! only cpu is watercooled and
a 120mm fan for mem & nb.

[marcin255]

i dont know the nb temperatures,

wow , You can look Everest ?

[Leeghoofd]

wow , You can look Everest ?

there's no readout foreseen by Asus for NB nor SB temps...

[marcin255]

Ok , can MB temp ?

[Leeghoofd]

I have no clue where the mobo temp sensor is placed but it surely isn't the NB temp being readout... Asus knowing prolly placed near the dimms slots as usual and pretty irrelevant info to me... (but I could be wrong ofcourse)

My Mobo temp is always around 30°C

[marcin255]

OK ,Thx

Jesus... the FSB's you guys are hitting.
FedEx just delivered my board!!

[NupSiHoVa]

what FSB do you guys hit primestable?

[TouGe]

Board was here when I woke up at noon. Everything installed w/o issue. Incase anyone is wondering I can confirm that the HR-09's that fit the x38/x48 chipset also fit this board, type2. I also didn't have to reinstall windows going from x48-->P45. There was a long wait for windows to reload drivers before I had control over my keyboard/mouse and I did have to reactivate windows and reinstall my sound card driver but that was it.
Unfortunately there is no time to overclock today, it is time to go to work.

Edit
Just wanted to add that the new mounting system they have for the mosfet coolers works great for the HR-09's, no wiggle whatsoever

Before you clock anything plz set FSB VTT to 1.2 and keep CPU PLL at or below 1.6 for ya quad plz... and go easy at first !!!

5 secs is all it takes... if you get OCZ ram at 1200mhz I'm gonna order those too then

This was an insane FSB! Can anyone please send me the best beta-bios? I've only got the newest verrified bios from Asus, but now i'm done with the tests I need, and just wanna play some more with my vapo.

I have to say that im already have got some quite awesome results with my corrent bios. Max boot 45nm dual around 585FSB, and I'm also quite certain that I've broke the Q9300 world record. Hope to get even futher with a new BIOS.

If anyone takes the trobble sending me the beta-bios in a PM i would be happy.

Thanks! I'l test this out on thursday, when I'm done with my oral exam. Is there much to gain using this bios?

when you get a minute can you take a pic to see the clearance and thats the slanted ones or the straight?
was just wondering if the cooling is any better Due to that I live in Fla and its very hot in the summer even with AC running,I guess my next step will be WC

Guys..good and bad news for me ( i think )
I just withdraw my mobo to buy a P5Q deluxe. I had a problem. When I was removing the cpu of the socket, the elastomero that comes with cooler box was all broken, and fell small pieces of elastomero in the pins of socket. I withdrew the most that I got the pieces, but if it was a piece of elastomero, my friend (who bought the mobo) may have problems?

[vcp-cur]

this p5q deluxe is doing real great..

does this mean that a p5q vanilla and p5q pro will do as good? why you ask?
they became available at newegg and i was wondering...

[AMD_Freak]

I thought the Pro board was better then deluxe, looks to be a little different with the heatpipes and the SATA layout thats really ugly but 50.00 less.

Review of the P5Q Pro: http://www.elitebastards.com/cms/ind...=570&Itemid=31
Recommended there as a value board.

The only thing disappointing me is that there is no Xeon X3350 support listed on ASUS' site. According to their compatability list http://support.asus.com/cpusupport/c...odel=P5Q%20PRO , no new processors have been added since release BIOS 0205, and they are now on 0506 which is listed as "first release" in the download section. Not sure if that's a website snafu or legit, but it seems odd when previous boards out now have Xeon support. Although you also can't check for support for that particular Xeon on ANY of their boards using the reverse route with their compatability widget, as that one is strangely missing...

Does the P5Q Deluxe board share the same mounting dimensions on the NB as the P5K deluxe?

[LUCI5R]

Before you clock anything plz set FSB VTT to 1.2 and keep CPU PLL at or below 1.6 for ya quad plz... and go easy at first !!!

Will Do! Plan on running on Stock for a few days before OC'ing. I'll flash to it 0702 as soon as I plug the board in. Can I do that via EZ-Flash/USB Stick?

Question: I bought a 40mm Fan for NB - Will it install on this board? The NB is covered with cool, albeit diagonal heat sinks. Anyone here install a 40mm fan on NB?

Also, having a Q9450, What kind of max idle/load temperatures should I keep in mind which I shouldn't exceed?

Edit: I've asked this earlier in the a different board thread - How do you set DRAM:FSB Ratio as 1:1? And is it necessary to do that for OC'ing? (Sorry for a n00b Q)

Thanks guys!

New bios looks very nice.
Can anyone feel difference in max FSB with 45nm against P35?

[pmp]

Kean re-think your question.
Difference between P35 and P45 in terms of FSB with 0,45um is obvious!

[Kean]

pmp: as i remember, in this thread ppl compared p45 with 965
how much better (in MHz) is P45 against P35 is in Your case?
My Q743A is hitting on DFI LP LT P35 fsb 555, on 965 about 620. So if on P45 will be fsb 600 it's worth to change it
