Asus P5E3 Premium Wi-fi-AP

[BLHealthy4life]

Some quick results with the beta bios 0505... this same E8500, crappy Q812, could only do 570 on bios 0503... think i'll chuck in my Q807 and take it for a spin.

I'm not sure how you are getting such great results with the BIOS.

My board is not responding well to this BIOS at all....

EDIT: Not sure if it was a coincidence or the BIOS, but it turns out that the instability was coming from my RAM. I've had to slightly loosen the timings and increase voltage to eliminate any errors with memtest86+

And the BEST part about it??....It will not let me flash to an older version!!

I'm f*cking pissed right now and my board is f*cked. I'm running everything default speed right now....

Can anyone say if the 266 strap is working properly with this new BIOS? With a dual or quad? 0503 for me is the best, but I can't boot with the 266 strap on any BIOS except 0151. I'll give it a try myself after sleep and work

It was the only BIOS that allowed me to run over 500FSB....

But NOW, that I'm back to 151 after a force flash from 505, I cannot boot over 490FSB, the same prob I had with 505.....

I'm either going to RMA this board or just get rid of it...

I've done nothing but fight this board for weeks trying to find stable settings....stability is just waaay to inconsistent.


EDIT: I'm now on BIOS 204. I was able to go to 535FSB with that BIOS. I am now pretty sure that my memory is dying on me....it is showing ALL of the signs that are typical of dying modules from my experience. Memtest86+ throws thousands of errors at SPD timings on these sticks.....not only that, very weird thing is that the board will not POST with the RAM at SPD, timings have to be tighter than SPD to POST! lol

Once I get some new sticks, i'm now eager again to try 505, espeically that i know there is a way to flashback to something older if i need to.

The few that have used 505 other than myself have gotten GREAT results, so there has to be something to this BIOS that is good!
