The voltages aren't on Auto.

For 500x8 PLL is 1.56v, FSB is 1.2v and NB is 1.1v. Only the GTL's and Perf Level are on Auto


Can't wait to get my Q9450 into this board.

[Cob]

Perf level set to 10 is as tight as I can go at 500x8 -

[STaRGaZeR]

You're probably using 1:1 divider then.

[Cob]

Once again with the chipset voltages on their lowest settings (not Auto) -



I've never been able to run Super Pi over 4050mhz before with this chip.

[Cob]

You're probably using 1:1 divider then.

Yip. My memory won't run over 1040mhz, so 1:1 is all I have at 500mhz.

Too bad mate , board looks nice... 450FSB with 1081 RAM would have been fab... you tried TRFC 55 ? Ram read training enabled ? Hope you can get some moore oomph out of them OCZ's

I must say this is an improvement over my P5B Deluxe.

Benches:

'06

P5B - 15492

P5Q - 16144

'05

P5B - 19788

P5Q - 20065

'03

P5B - 53232

P5Q - 62411

No annoying x1 bug, no stuttering in 3Dmark CPU tests. (Hopefully this list will grow as I test other things.

Any thoughts on a SLOW POST? It really seems pathetically slow when looking for USB devices.

I'm finding the POST ok, but I'm finding that the loading bar of both x64 XP and x64 Vista pauses for a good 5 seconds when loading.

can we divide the ram ?? or is 1:1 our only option??

This DDR800 isn't liking high MHZ

also where to DL bios 0702 ?? only one I saw was for the P5Q3 mobo

[xTKxhom3r]

any ideas why i cant get over 550 on a p5q deluxe using 0702 bios... who has gone to 600 on a deluxe?

1:1 is the lowest you can, as with all Intel chipset boards.

Search this thread for 0702. But the newest BIOS is a page or two back from this one.

[iboomalot]

found it thanks

[Cob]

Right last run on this chip tonight -




The Q9450 is going in first thing tomorrow morning.

[R@ptor =]]]

Good job mate!
keep going for max fsb with stock volts of chipset on this quad!

[iboomalot]

ugh I can't seem to break over the 475 mhz FSB or 4.1ish on the CPU

I think its my ram the reaper 1066 isn't liking this board and my humble twinX 800 is doing all it can


so Iam RMAing the reaper and putting the TwinX into my sons new e6700 machine (oh know anyone who wants an AMD 3800+ system for cheap )

so what ram would you recommend for this combo e8400 and p5q dlx ????

[Cob]

Good job mate!

495mhz is highest she'll do on stock chipset volts. PLL had to go upto 1.56v for 500mhz and she hit a wall there. Still 15mhz more than P35 and X38 ever got out of her.

This board is sooooooo easy to clock the Q6600 on. Just keep upping the FSB and the vcore and ignore everything else. I'm guessing someone will get to 4.5ghz with a great chip without having to touch the chipset volts.

Great man...But the fsb wall of your q6600 its just 500mhz?? I want to put my e6750 to 3.6 or more, and I have not thought about the fsb wall of it
crap, do I will have problems with this??

[Cob]

500mhz is about the upper limit of most quad-cores. But your dual-core should do far more than that.

[R@ptor =]]]

Humm..i understood
I can't wait to buy this mobo

What is the highest stable OC anyone has gotten with just air cooling so far? I won't have water up and running for probably a month and I'm just wondering how far I can go until then...

thanks!

edit: q9450 45nm

[ChaosMinionX]

Very intersting, I want to see 45nm!!!

[xTKxhom3r]

i cant get my p5q deluxe stable above 550 has anyone else done it with a 8400?

edit: q9450 45nm

I'm on water but with the voltages I'm using I think it would be possible , using a True with push pull almost certainly . 475 fsb x 8.5 for 4037mhz is where I'm sitting right now and I think there is more left but likely water cooling required .

hey what are the latest p5q dlx bios?

No need to post ya 550FSB limit each page as people will get annoyed and will for sure not reply. Couple of questions what ram do you got ?, does your ram do more than 1100MHz ? you on 2 or 4Gb ? rated ram stock speed ? There are loads of people breaking 600+FSB but you need high quality ram for that and correct settings to keep it sort of benchstable. But these settings are hardly for daily use...

0704 is on the thread a few pages back
