"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[Leeghoofd]

I didn't released this one due to some HDD incompatibility it may cause. I'll post something new upon i find some free time. Sorry, too busy right now

I knew there was something not correct here... thx for the info sir...

[SergioRoadster]

both will fit

Thanks for clearing that out.

Hi.

Did any of you who have tried 0901... experienced a huge CPU temp drop??

I had 0704 and 1,44 vcore with 35º @ iddle,... now I have about 15º less !!!

I haven't upgraded my H2O cooling and these temps are confirmed by Everest, Coretemp and RealTemp. Room ambient temps are just 2ºC less, around 26ºC.

I don't know what to say ...

Regards

Hi everybody, My first post here
Got my P5Q deluxe yesterday and found the bios a bit of a step up from my AW9D-Max to be honest.Googled this thread and have found it a godsend, some great advice, thank you
Got a couple of questions

Heres my settings and results so far, how do they look?
Are my temps ok?
Would i be better with some PC2-8500 ram?

Any advice would be great

Looks great Sativa, good CPU too mate, nice clocks at low volts... small question you are running 1:1 yet in ya template you set 1081... second question you mention LLC disabled yet Vcore is 1.23 and real Vcore under load also 1.23... sure LLC is not on AUTO or ENABLED ? I need to set about 1.3 to have 1.24 without LLC...

Only thing you can improve here is to play a bit with the PL levels... since you are running 1;1 and Transaction Booster at AUTO PL level is set at 13... you can lower it to 10-11 and get a good increase in bandwith and a drop in RAM Latency...second thing you could do is to play with the clock tiwster... try moderate instead of AUTO and test again...

Good Job mate !!

Thanks mate

Edited my above post was a copy and paste job from a previous post missed a few.
My DRAM frequency should of read 901 and my LCC was on auto.

Also my Common performance level was set to 10.


Will have a play about with clock twister thanks.

One thing though,Bit of a noob question, Vista now takes a long time to load, about 20 sweeps with the green bar , do you think thats down to the overclock?

[dark2099]

thx but, got a p5q Pro, and I get the "Version in ROM file is older then existing in board"

currently have 0708 bios on

I have a friend with the P5Q Pro and is having the same problems as this person is, gets errors using both EZFlash and AFUDOS, used various tags with AFUDOS. Has there been any response to this, I did a little browsing and didn't find an answer to this, sorry if there is one. Thanks.

EDIT: He just told me that he tried both methods with 0703 (official from asus) and also to the 0901 (the one he want to install) and nothing worked ...

[Ricochet48]

Ok I just got 2 640GB WD Caviars and put them in the EZ Backup setting (RAID 1) and tried to install Vista. I got to like 56% and then I got an I/O error 0x8007045D so I researched and thought it was my CD drive. Took me forever and 2 trips to best buy to get a Sata drive, but it still doesn't work. I'm on the verge of a break down, I can't take this. I am very depressed.

Hey all,

EDIT: Nevermind. I'm an idiot.

Hey all,

EDIT: Nevermind. I'm an idiot.

I bet I got you beat. I shorted my fan plug right by the clear cmos jumper. Guess how I did it. . I fired it up with the jumper on the fan plug and I seen a big old spark lmao. Now the fan plug there doesn't work any more needless to say.

Same here with my old P5B Deluxe before an year I use a screwdriver to bring a fireworks

[truehighroller]

Using some settings I copied off some templates here I just got this.
I know I can go to 4Ghz.

[truehighroller]

Here is 8x 490 3.925Ghz

[jVIDIA]

Bios 0901 here ... all ok till now. Didn't noticed any performance diference from 0803.

Have it like this for now :


Notes:
- a little bit more of vNB as reported by Leeghoofd ( must do some DMM readings )
- still no PL=7
- still 1200MHz was a no go here with 450fsb:

@ 1203MHz (strap 400) = no boot at all
@ 1199MHZ (strap 333) = crash entering windows
@ 1128MHz (strap 266) = OK using only 1,9vDIMM !

[Coppis]

I had this board, but i have some problems: i can't reach 600fsb.
my 8400 on a commando reached 610x7, but with this board it stops at 580x7...

what is the better bios in max fsb? now i had the 702, i tried also the 704...

i have an other question: how does the clock skew operate? how can i know what is the component that is in delay respect the others?


sorry for my bad english!

[R@ptor =]]]

Guys, the values of overvoltage of this mobo, that the jVIDIA posted a few days ago, is occurring in the same way in these new bios?
You check bios 0803, jVIDIA?
thanks!

[jVIDIA]

No I didn't measure yet 0803 or 0901.

[truehighroller]

I don't know I don't have a voltmeter. I just bumped everything a little from stock sos not to have that happen. The highest clock on air for me seems to be the 8x 490 I reached last night. I can run my 24/7 3.8Ghz like I wanted to now though

[cincyrob]

as a few of ya guys here may know im kinda new to the OCing world, and i see a few other new members (not saying they are noobs) could some one clear up some terms for me?

PL=
LLC=

and anything else?

[Leeghoofd]

PL = performance level : it's a setting that influences the rambandwith, latency, it's value is dependant on the ram you use, type , amount, FSB selected : in fact the lower the better : Expect with this board around 9-10 with 1:1 divider, 7-9 with a divider (eg 3:4,...)... try to get the lowest value for best RAM performance

LLC = Load Line Calibration : eliminates Vdroop/drop so setting in bios corresponds with the voltage value given to the CPU under idle/load. To clarify an example :
In bios set 1.4, without LLC it will be around eg 1.37 in Windows at idle, around 1.34 under load... With LLC enabled you set 1.4 and it should give 1.4 under load and idle... I said should as this board slightly tends to overvolt under load with LLC enabled...

Hope it's is somewhat clear, I don't use magical technical terms as I don't understand them and mostly neither of you...

[.Tret]

I said should as this board slightly tends to overvolt under load with LLC enabled...

Slightly is a bit of an understatement. I have LLC enabled with my q6600 @ 3.62ghz.

1.381v bios
1.408v idle
1.424v load

I like LLC because it lowers my idle temps from having to use 1.5 in bios to get 1.42 under load

[truehighroller]

What are the pullins?

Hi all my first post on this forum

I overclocked E6600 to 3.2Ghz with bios memory settings on auto and i have high latency in everest test. Can anybody help me to tweak it to get a lower latency, please.

Alot of it is the PL setting youre using I think.

If these settings are stable (try PL 10 first, test thoroughly, then try 9 : 9 could be a no boot) : play some with the AI CLock Twister ; try eg moderate and see if it has any effect on latency and or stability
