"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[Leeghoofd]

hey guys, first time intel please be gentle. Can someone check my settings on my p5q pro, i just got it running today, e8400 @ 3.6 with gskill 2x2gb ddr2-800. Cpu voltage is set to auto but it's around 1.28 according to bios monitor not sure if it's a bit high...

Never use AUTO for voltages mate they are rather on the high side, a normal E8400 does 3.6Ghz at around 1.2Vcore levels... also with 45Nm CPU's don't set too high CPU PLL, FSB Term Voltage... try my settings below and report back to me if they work out, if ya want more don't hesitate to Pm me...

Also bios sets PL (performance level ) for the ram rather high try 11 first and then try to boot with 10 and test throughly...(AI Transaction booster setting)

So I'm still having my no-post problems. I tried removing the psu cord and letting it sit for 10 minutes, same thing. I tried removing the battery for 5 minutes, same thing.

Ever thought at your PSU ? or Nb voltage setting ?

Well got the new mushkin kits yesterday, and all my OC problems are gone. Stupid Corsair DHX sticks are on their way back to newegg. Anyone know if this board overvolts that much with a 45nm CPU? Because I thought if a 45nm CPU took 1.53 vFSB it could die...no? And if the board is pushing 1.53V at the 1.2V setting thats really bad...

Just set 1.22 and test if not enough 1.24 and so on... for a quad you might need more....

I don't know what it is but lately Asus and Corsair really don't get along at all...
