"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[R@ptor =]]]

Are you referring to my post? If so, LLC enabled will eliminate vdroop. I'm not looking to eliminate all the vdroop but just cut it in half. This is what I did on my Maximus Formula board. If I enable vdroop now my vcore actually increases slightly on load.

Yes mate
But, enabling the LLC, there wasn't better ,to exclude the problem with voltage?

I played another time, this is max under air for this cpu:
http://valid.x86-secret.com/show_oc.php?id=374337

Arne can you share your settings and voltages for this high FSB , my board just came in and I would like to get as high FSB as possible with E8400 under Dice for validation and some benchies this weekend , i will appreciate your help and feedback bro.


chispy.

My test P5Q3 DLX does not boot with anything over 480MHz

I´ll think that it is those GTL voltages or just bad board.

[Leeghoofd]

Tried AUTO for all voltages first except Vcore and RAM ? I just set PLL voltage then ( need 1.6 to be stable ), reboot, posts, save to OC profile, set FSB Term voltage, reboot, post, save to OC profile,... hope you get my drift... can take a long time to find the lowest working voltages but it iwll be rewarding in the long run... though I don't like to run these expensive CPU's at 500FSB daily... I drop to 400FSB again for daily use...

[BulldogPO]

I have never used more PLL voltage than 1.5V.
Seems like board is not posting if NB voltage is over 1.3V

Edit:
I´m trying first to get 9x445MHz stable with X3110(E8400).
And I raised first CPU GTL to 0.715 and it did help alot.

Yeah, I had this same experience. Above 1.34V on the NB and the board behaves very flaky, smoetimes it posts while other times it will not. But it seems I need more than 1.34V in order to run 4 sticks of RAM as it is unstable below that voltage.

[irev210]

anyone have issues with 400MHz strap?

I am having major issues with E7200 and 400MHz strap, will not play nice together.

Q9450 and 400MHz strap are fine.


Makes no sense, 333MHz strap is fine with E7200, currently at 440MHz FSB (4.2GHz CPU) with no issues.

[Friday~13rd]

Some new builds to work on:

ASUS P5Q-E build 0702
ASUS P5Q Deluxe build 0702
ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe build 0702

Note that 2 new options are added, CPU and NB clock skew. Set CPU to 400 ps and NB to 100 ps to get some extra FSB (play ofc with these settings).

Do you have a new bios for P5Q-PRO ?

Thank

[Leeghoofd]

Leeg can you post NB, PLL etc. voltages for 500FSB Performance level 8 with ram at 1200Mhz?

8 doesn't seem to be be prime stable, also Superpi crashed around iteneration 8, PL 9 brought solution there, maybe also some more NB volts would have done the trick...

Seems like board is not posting if NB voltage is over 1.3V

Will try the E8500 in the afternoon sir, with the quad till now touching the GTL and FSB Term voltages gives me some griefs and no posts... also NB around 1.3 sometimes doesn't post, so I bumped it to 1.5, no worries there anymore (you can also try AUTO)

Keep ya updated

is your board manufactured in china or taiwan?

[LUCI5R]

Look what FedEx dropped at my house



Looks awesome inside!!


Heatsinks Galore!!




4GB (2 X 2GB) PC2-8000 1000Mhz


Didn't get a chance to get my hands dirty last evening - will probably put it all together tonight and run it this weekend.

Anyone here running a Q9450 on this board? What's the max you're hitting on Air? Can anyone tell me what kind of max temperatures I should be keeping in mind when OC'ing the Q9450 on this board?

Thanks!!

[BulldogPO]

China is seems to be.
Now I did get finaly that CPU to 8x500MHz, seems like memory speed is preventing it to boot so sometimes it boots fine and sometimes it does´nt.

My P5Q3 is made in China and it cant do high FSB and have much problems (often freeze / bs).

My P5Q is made in Taiwan and can do 615FSB (600FSB boot out of the bios)

hmm,better looking for Taiwan edition?Anyone can confirm?

Interesting indeed

[BulldogPO]

Yes, 530MHz seems to be maximum out of this P5Q3 dlx, and it needs 1.56V for NB voltage.

And it wond even post at 1600MHz or faster memory speeds.

Edit:
Memory issue solved by disabling DRAM Static Read Control.

[Pyr0]

my p5q3 is also from china (rev 1.02G)
can boot an e8500 at 600 fsb - not tried stability
for 600 fsb i found i only needed 1.34/1.36V for the NB, and playing with the NB gtl helped

500 fsb with the dual seems like a breeze and only needed approx 1.26V set for NB and fsb term, with 1.5v for pll and a 0.615x nb gtl

messing with a q6700 atm, finding it a little harder to push the fsb without tweaking things, and voltage levels need to be a little higher

[Chri$ch]

i dont know why, but my P5Q3 need ~1.36v NB voltage for only 400FSB...

my P5Q Dlx can prime 550FSB with 1.4v NB voltage (dont test with lower voltage)

Max FSB i can boot with P5Q3 is 550FSB @ 1.60v NB voltage and this only with
1:1 divider

[Leeghoofd]

Some E8500 action... indeed with P5Q Dlx 600FSB out of the box is a breeze... CPU stability is there though need to tweak some ram settings to get it stable there...

[Chri$ch]

600FSB prime

how much nb voltage need it?

[Leeghoofd]

1.5NB only :Screenshot is small FFT's Chrisch, but it's not blend stable , superpi 32mb stopped to, so I need some guru that can guide me through these Skew settings... (C'mon EVA2000 you can do it )

[R@ptor =]]]

How much voltage to northbridge??
and the voltage of cpu on the bios, how much??

[Chri$ch]

ok, only small ffts... i test large ffts for mainboard stability and gtl settings

[Leeghoofd]

How much voltage to northbridge??
and the voltage of cpu on the bios, how much??

[R@ptor =]]]

Sorry for the question...
but what is the stock volt of north?
Okay, the over is not stable but I just want to have any reference
