ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe discussion

FSB : DRAM 1:2 also works with 0902 BIOS. FSB 500 boot is bellow.

My P5Q clx DDR2 mobo isn't stable in dual channel

Iam looking to upgrade to DDR3 what mobo?? would you recomend for a e8400 that runs stable at 4ghz ????

also what DDR3 is working best???

[jugeen]

as i saw everyone has different experience with his/her DDR3 with this mobo. it is sad that samsung chip runs well on p5q3 deluxe, but that chip is not as good for oc as micron d9gtr/d9gts. asus works hard to solve RAM instability. if you are not hurry than i suppose wait a short time till stable OC information published. else if you eager to have P45 DDR3 than pick up ddr3 kit with gtr chip and go go go!

[iboomalot]

This is just to get me by untill the fall/winter when Bloomfield series hits

I tried to keep my p5q dlx but I will have to upgrade to DDR3 this fall anyways.

I do not understand 0704 0801 0804 0902 and same problem do not work 1600mhz

Change to p5e3 dlx works 1700mhz with no isue so what does asus engenirs do ?

This board is sh..

i remember the first time when i sucked with p5e3 dlx. nowadays it's normal that we have to wait for good working BIOS. MFCs are always fighting who releases their stuffs at first. it is not worth to annoy.

It looks like this is being worked on actively, but talking with Fugger over the weekend about Micron/P45, I mentioned that I was able to get my Ballistix 1600s >1600 no problem on the P5Q3 Dlx, so he told me to post it up. Maybe I just have a lucky set that works in it.

This was definitely on the 702 beta BIOS, but don't ask me to recall settings because it was weeks ago I still had the same problem as others that immediately crash @ 1000MHz, but I will try a couple of these new ones when I have time. These sticks did ~1030MHz 7-7-7 in the P5K3 with just 1.90V, so they are definitely good for it.

I might be a little late to the discussion, but wanted to post these results because I said that I would

n00b! Where's the 700MHz FSB to go along with it?

Ross can you do 7-6-5 by any chance? I'm guessing you've got JNL so the answer to that would be no. I'd personally given up hope on P45, but after seeing that it looks like it's definitely worth thinking about. Is the 2T a bug? If not, is it necessary?

[BenchZowner]

1) Gautam, there's no Command Rate option available yet, and MemSet doesn't Command Rate setting doesn't work.
2) Ross, they're talking about 4GB Kits ( 2*2GB ) with the other Micron chips.
With 2*1GB ( 2GB Kits ) depending on your luck, skills and timings you can clock up to about DDR3-2000.

Let's give Intel some time to "tweak" it out

[boostedevo]

Bench, that explains it. Thanks for the heads up

Gautam, I never pulled the spreaders, so I have no clue which chips they actually are. 700FSB LOL, not on this chip...this screen is already 20FSB higher than this particular proc ever ran on any other chipset.

This FSB is only good for CPU-Z & 1M. 32M still won't run clean >570FSB, which is the same as any other chipset (making me think it's the CPU and not the NB or mem though). What I will do is try to run lower FSB and keep the mem speed (which should confirm it), but a different ratio may not work as well.

I don't recall trying 7-6-5 on this board, but I have on others...just don't remember how high I'll give that a shot as well.

[jugeen]

i could run SPI32M @ 1600 CL6. at this time i think this board needs +0.04 vdimm to be stable than P5E64 Evolution needed. or maybe i should play with skews.

Workin with the MSI P45 today, 2x1GB sammy 1800+ quite easy, 1600 was so easy i gave up trying. 4GB ohh my, here we go again.

Asked for a new bios, will test a theory with it when it arrives...for now gave up on Asus and went back to BT2 x48 bios tweakin.

I hit delete 300 times Thursday last, then friday, then Monday...im getting tired of it for now.

Hell, I am tired of using halon on the AMD boards but I still test them. We should have another BIOS spin tonight.

never give up Tony, life is hard, Asus is harder

on my situation, DDR3 1600 CL7 stable is only work on the black slot with 0704 BIOS, orange can go up to 1333 only. other version of BIOS like 801, 804 and 902 will freeze in windoews while running memtest pro!
BTW, which version of aisuite can show Vdimm?

[zozo]

Please share the 902 BIOS on another website, I can't access it for now.

Whats a safe northbridge voltage? Whats the Stock NB Voltage?
I cant quite get it stable at 3.6Ghz, HL2 Crashes.



Its hella stable at this. What can i do?

I break 655 fsb on my deluxe P5Q3
but no valide just photo

its easy to get 2x1024 stable, issues are with 2x2GB modules.

GAR its still having issues yes, all the P45 DDR3 boards I tested are, especially with 4GB

unfortunately I don't have 2*2GB modules, so I can't help to find solutions.

[kiwi]

But 2x1 1600 and 1800 is nothing new. How about 2K at least 32M?
