the P5Q-E is out too for $160

too many mobo's to choose from...i wonder how this compares to the Deluxe

[Cob]

Right I think I've finally figured out that setting the FSB Term voltage to Auto at 500x8 (Q9450) equates to setting 1.58v manually.


Scary.

Hey guys, someone know the different between P5Q Deluxe with Part No.: 90-MIB4G0-G0EAY00T
and P5Q Deluxe Part No.: 90-MIB4G0-G0EAY00Z ?!

Thanks
Chris

Possibly the Made In xxxxx sticker (all PCB's are made in China, but some still have a sticker that says Made In Taiwan).

Mine is the 'Z' and has the Made In China sticker. Hopefully someone with a Taiwan sticker can confirm it.

[Chri$ch]

Mine is 'T' and has the Made in Taiwan sticker

Is this board 16x 4x? like the P965, P35 and so on? or is it 8x 8x? I havent found too much information on it regarding this.

If someone has Crossfire/SLI can you test how it benches with the reduced PCIE Link Width?

[Chri$ch]

P45 is x8/x8

[Cob]

Yeah it's x8/x8 PCI-E 2.0.

[vcp-cur]

8x 8x pci-e 2.0 is more than enough for crossfire...

Same board except it doesn't offer 16 phase power management, which you probably will never need.
C2D/C2Q platforms will be antiques next year at this time.
Why they stuck a x4 slot in either, I'll never know.
No one will ever use it.

[Alex-Ro]

Awesome mobo,wonder how it is his bios compared to Maximus II.

In response to what I mentioned earlier, and in case anyone reading is interested in the same, I think I'm going to go with these:

According to newegg reviews, anandtech and legion hardware, these 2x2 sticks were able to handle 1200 stable on air.

[Venom-Crusher]

Venom-Crusher, what memory are you using men ?

Crucial Ballistix PC2-6400

[Fitseries3]

i have a P5Q3 dlx and it wont run anything other then auto. i have tried the 0504 bios and 0702 bios and i get the same results with both. im using crucial balistix 1600mhz kit.

any suggestions?

can someone post there bios settings for 400mhz FSB?

[Cob]

Which CPU?

400mhz FSB should be possible on the lowest FSB Term, PLL and NB voltages.

I would like to know if anyone has used this memory in the P5Q Deluxe ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231145 ) and if it worked ok . About to order soon if someone could help. Thanks

Those PQ ones run fine here Colt but if you can spare the cash the 8500 modules have an 8 layer PCB... yet I can run the 8000 at 8500 speeds too... though 1081Mhz (2.1 volts) on the P35 killed one of them... RMA ones still work fine at 1066Mhz 2.0volts even...

[colt1911]

Thanks Lee so these would be better (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231166 ).

Would love to see if you can hit 1200Mhz stable on these mate, if so these will be my new rams then

Thanks Lee so these would be better (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231166 ).

Most of us think that they are better build and more resistant than the cheaper PC8000 ones... think at stock speeds it ain't worth the cash, but to get something extra eg they might be wort the investment...

[Leeghoofd]

Confirm
Can anyone show me spi16/32m with FSB more than 550Mhz+
??

K did some tests, reverted to 6 multi and started off with 550FSB/1100 ram... I left Perf levels to be decided by the bios aswell as subtimings...

DRAM Static Read Control: Disabled
DRAM Read Training: AUTO
MEM. OC Charger: AUTO
AI Clock Twister: AUTO
AI Transaction Booster: AUTO (is PL 13)











I ran into trouble at 590FSB... upped Ram voltage to 2.35 (max I want to give my Gskills as they worked fab at 1200mhz at 2.3v on the P35)... went a bit further, dropped PL to 15 almost completeds it's run ( see screenie ) so it could be my ram that needs some more juice ( will try later with a fan over them )... Then I tried to mess with Read Trainer and OC Charger and set them to have more clocking headroom... seemed to have inversed effect as it crashed now at ineration 8...

Will let things cool down and try again to see if I can make 590 complete ( will mess too with the Skews...and TRFC)

You got it. I also managed to get my hands on a nice e8500 so I'll hopefully have some nice results for you next week.

[xTKxhom3r]

wow those are some nice numbers ppl keep them coming

[jVIDIA]

Leeghoofd, vNB ?

[Leeghoofd]

Leeghoofd, vNB ?

1.4 mate for 590, rest are on auto, 600 seems like a tough nut, playing with the skwes now...

590 DONE

[jVIDIA]

Everest mem bench please
