"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[SirKeldon]

@Leeghoofd I must say i had these memory "issues" (as the 500x8 issue and trying to run it on 1:1) even on 0703 (Official from ASUS site) & 0708 releases, that's why i tried 0901, i thought this could be solved with that release so i flashed ... i didn't know it was "leaked" ... though all of this i must say all the other settings that were working on 07* series (for keeping my OC stable) are also working on 0901, at least on my P5Q-Pro.

And i know what you say that 45nm sometimes loves "lower" voltages and playing with GTL's to achieve stability, i tested it on an DFI X38 board and it was definitely true ... before it died after a bad bios flash (a beta one )

Of course everybody has limited resources, of hardware and mostly due to time, i know every CPU, every chipset and every RAM IC is different ... and they can't be tested all, but it's so strange i can keep my RAM on 1115Mhz with almost stock volts and i can't stabilize it on 70Mhz more with +0.1, it's just that, i'm not complaining ... cause of course i can "survive" with 1115Mhz instead of 1186Mhz, that's not a problem for me, i'm just sharing it cause it seems strange. And yes, i know all the problems with the P5Q3, i have a couple of friends owning it ... and it's clearly worst on the RAM thing.

As you say, let's hope pmp surprise us with a "kick-ass" BIOS for the P5Q* on DDR2 version, at least, the working progress is being amazing and so fast. Definitely, thanks to all BIOS developer's as well as tester's (we included) ... cause sharing all these issues can give them some light to solve them.
