"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[NaMcO]

Phew... Took me a LONG while reading through all the posts in this thread...

Soon we'll have yet another testdummy to compare settings, i am just waiting for some more parts to build up my new system using a P5Q Deluxe, a E8400 and TEAM Xtreem Dark PC2-8500 RAM. Meanwhile some more PC:banana::banana::banana::banana: of what's coming in this week:



News and testing as soon as i assemble everything.

CPU MARGIN ENHANCEMENT whatever that means

K got the dreaded error back... we will have to lock this error down to something...

Yet I love my lapped E8400 wolfie so nice and sweet now

Nice work bro, exact same volts as my wolfie! What batch is that and what temps are you getting with it at 4ghz?

[Cecil]

This thread is way too long to look through. Just a quick question, anyone try this board with a Q9450? Im wanting 3.8ghz or more, will be under water.

Deciding between this, the Gigabyte EP45-Extreme and the Maximus Formula 2.

Thanks

[NaMcO]

There are loads of posts regarding that query, you should really browse through the thread a bit

[Cob]

3.8ghz should be no problem providing your CPU is half-decent.

Sorry about that.

3.8ghz should be no problem providing your CPU is half-decent.

Previous owner lapped it, and was under water. Got 3.6 with 1.26v. I dont have water yet, but will be getting a swiftech h20-220 APEX GT and a new board this friday.

Can you guys help me to undestand how in the hell ... I just raise 1 step my VCORE from 1.46250 to 1.46875 volts I get these differences ??

Batch Q805A546

Real temp giving me 50-52°C on the cores (watercooling) CPU PLL is 1.52, FSB Term 1.26...

temp readout is borked mate , just put it on ignore... trust coretemp or realtemp for the readouts... (ofcourse a prob if you got a 45nm that has got borked sensors too)

OK thanks... I'm going to do that.

It's the 65nm in my sig ... I've tested sensors with Realtemp and they are ok.

More one question guys...my mobo is reaching 46ºC in full load...it's to hot, isn't it?
my ambiet temp is 22ºC

[NoobCake]

Hey guys,

whats the main difference between the P5Q DLX and the P5Q-E?

All i can see is the heatpipe cooling but anything else in terms of performance?

thanks

[truehighroller]

So what bios is better then?

More one question guys...my mobo is reaching 46ºC in full load...it's to hot, isn't it?
my ambiet temp is 22ºC

How hot are the cores ? my mobo temp is always around 30°C, you got enough ventilation in ya case ?

Does prime cap out ? what is unstable ? BSOD ?

[-Zork-]

Hey guys,

whats the main difference between the P5Q DLX and the P5Q-E?

thanks

P5Q DLX 16 Fase Pw vs P5Q-E 8 Fase Pw

[jVIDIA]

NaMcO mate, what's the distance in cm between the NB holes ?

[NoobCake]

P5Q DLX 16 Fase Pw vs P5Q-E 8 Fase Pw

thanks, does that make a difference in overclocking?

I plan to run 4x1GB Corsair Dominator 8500

[Alex-Ro]

If you're not going to throw in some quad-core chip at 6 ghz you can stay chill

[NaMcO]

I'll have to measure that up jVIDIA, it required a special EK waterblock which allows for some adjustment. I am not at home right now, i will post the distance here as soon as i get there later on. Maybe someone can help meanwhile.

[truehighroller]

So which BIOS is the best one then?

[NaMcO]

NaMcO mate, what's the distance in cm between the NB holes ?

Just measured and it's 6,3cm. Hole to hole.

[whatever]

Are there some serious differences between P5Q-E and the -Deluxe version ? Other than the 8 phases that -E version has.
I think overclocking will be almost the same, if not identical, because the PCB is almost unchanged.

Right guys ?

[R@ptor =]]]

How hot are the cores ? my mobo temp is always around 30°C, you got enough ventilation in ya case ?

My cores is normal, don't pass 60ºc in full load...
yeah, my case is very small, and is fuc*** the ventilation i think...
I tried this over, and only once time the machine has a small BSOD, and restarted itself. I added a bit of tension in the northbridge and the fsb, and stopped BSOD appears, only the orthos accusing error.
I do not think it is necessary to 1.6 for the PLL, maybe a little more tension in the northbridge, I think.
any solution to reduce the temperature of my mobo?
look a pic of my case:

the cables of psu had no other place to be placed, only left this place

[Alex-Ro]

Yeap,you're right.Thiugh i had chose the Deluxe version

[Leeghoofd]

So which BIOS is the best one then?

Stick at the moment with ya 0704... some issues with 803 and 0901... hopefully official 1001 beta can solve them

[Leeghoofd]

did you try NB at 1.26 ? up pll voltage a bit this is 65nm CPU so they can handle it...

for ya ventilation try to mod the case and put in one big 20Cm fan or at least one 120mm you got the room in the sidepanel
