ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe discussion

vNB 1.36v is not high at all. Run your CPU at stock speed with AUTO voltage, then run CPU-Z or Real Temp and find out your VID. Once you post that, I think people can get a clearer picture of what your CPU voltage settings could be for a higher OC.

There we go

There we go

Might have to use Real Temp to get it then, it didn't show on the picture you took. Fire up Real Temp, and then click on SETTINGS, the screen that pops has the VID.

VID = 1.2250

There lies the root to your issues. If it is requiring 1.225v just to run stock [3Ghz], then running it higher will require a whole lot. Your VID is .05v more than mine, and my CPU runs at 3.16Ghz [.05v may sound like a little, but with CPUs it is a lot]. I guess you got to chalk this issue to having an average joe CPU. Sorry man.

That explains why I couldnt get past 3.6 on my P965.
DAMN!!!
Oh well, the CPU was free. I will run it at 3.6 where its stable. Thanks

All in all, I don't see why you can't run it at 4Ghz with 1.36v; you should keep trying and see what happens. Just let the board mature a bit, it should allow you some stability.

Some Voltage measurement points for the Asus P5Q3 Deluxe:

Latest coretemps and Realtemp give many Wolfdale CPU's at 1.2250 VID...pretty wrong to me... if you can run 3.6 around 1.15-1.2 you can run 4ghz easily below 1.4volts, if not you are

Then I'm doing something wrong.

Telo I know you want to help, but if you don't own an Asus DDR3 P45 chipset based mobo, plz don't give advice on voltages...or settings.. this board sadly has major ram incompatabilities and think we have to wait a few more bios updates before some peeps rigs will fly...

Also VID is nice but there are loads of CPU's that can run stock speeds at a voltage way below the VID... your claim is a so NO sir... if he can run 3.6 stable at 1.25 he should be able to make 4ghz around (sub) 1.4 level

My E8400 reads out as 1.2250 too and yet it almost does 4ghz at it (in fact I need 1.24Vcore), 3Ghz is done at 1volt...

[GAR]

I would return this board asap if you still time left on your return policy, it has been a long time and issues do not seem to be fixed, i had nightmares trying to setup this board with several sets of ddr3....just some advice so people dont loose out on money.

[THUMPer]

The board is fine I think. I'm running 3.6Ghz, with 2GB of Kingston at CL7 DDR3 1600. It's you 4GB guys that are having problems.

Anyone running Vista 64 is going to need 4gb of memory, 4GB is the norm now a days for people who actually use their computer instead of benching.

What makes you think I don't own the board? I own an ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe. Wanna see the recipt?

When I use my OCZ DDR3-1800 [2GB kit] I got issues up to wazoo, but when I place the CellShock RAM in the issues disappear.

[boostedevo]

Can someone with a working copy of the 904 BIOS put it up again? I've d/l'd this one several times and keeps coming back corrupt

This bios works for me.

Test at your own risk, not official but most likely will be.

Post feedback please.

Hi

What is the maximum FSB that you can get with Q9450 OR Q9... on this board?

What is the setting to get it?

I can get max 484 x 7.5 one more wont be stable ,or boot, no mater ,what I change

Interesting...
My Kingston uses Samsung chips. I have had good luck. I am not sure what Cellshock use. I have never heard of them till this thread I wanna say Microns?

CellShock uses Micron chips.

I think i've managed to stabilize my single stick OCZ 1600MHz 2GB memory, but now the core speed flickers between a 9 and 6 ratios (3000 and 2000 MHz, respectively). What am I setting wrong in the BIOS?

Thanks. Much better!
