Asus P5E3 Premium Wi-fi-AP

[Sectorz]

Here are my quick runs on 0505 bios. I haven't had a chance to run 3D or 32M yet. I will post more results and more detailed info once I get some more free time.

Here is a link to my thread if you want to see results prior to 0505 bios. I don't think 0505 allowed me to get much higher on the FSB but did allow me to become Prime stable at a much higher FSB. I just got a second G.SKill kit yesterday to bump me up to 4GB and they also have D9GTS IC's like my current kit.

Can you copy here your bios setting with the 503 and 505 ?

Hello guys... I'm watching closer this Forum since 2 Weeks, because I have upgraded my PC.I have an Q9450 stock 2,66GHZ on Asus P5E3 Premium Wifi@On.
In idle temps are around 46°(REALTEMP), load under prime95 around 68°(REALTEMP). I mention that I have an Thermaltake Kandalf Case with 4X120mm fans and Coolermaster Fan on CPU. I´m sure that this temperatures are very high(for summer), but I have my PC in non cooled room(around 27&#176.

I´m not used to OC PC´s thats why I have read true posts here on this forum..I have tried yesterday but my OC failed.I have modified only FSB, everything else on AUTO. I have managed to start my PC only with 350FSB with X8 multiplier...higher than that my PC won´t start.

Other components in my PC:

750TX Corsair PSU
4Gb DDR3 Corsair 1333Mhz (9-9-9-24) 9TDXH3 in dual channel.
2X500Gb nonraid HDD
9800GTX EVGA GPU
X-Fi Creative Soundblaster Music edition

Can someone of you guys, the experienced ones help me to get this rig to 3.0GHZ? In short I will try to buy an WC, but here in RO it´s hard to find, also I´m not very familiar to WC components & sistems.

Many thanks in advance...

GPU: Asus Ati HD2900XT 512MB
PSU: ENERMAX Galaxy 1000 Watt

My settings:
CPU Ratio = 7.0
FSB Strap = 400
FSB Freq = 450
PCIE Freq = 105
DRAM Freq = 1800
Command Rate = 1N
Timings = 8,8,8,24
DRAM Static Read Control = Disabled
DRAM Dynamic Write Control = Disabled
CPU Voltage = 1.19375 (Bios)
DRAM Voltage = 1.86
Load Line Calibration = Normal
CPU Spread Spectrum = Disabled
PCIE Spread Spectrum = Disabled

All other settings is auto.
CPU temp = 32
MOBO Temp = 37
with Watercooling system of course

Can you go faster?

i don't have the time now to test it for more speed like 8.0 multiplier and tigher timings. but its on my mind. when i find some time be sure i'll test it more.

[sauria]

Ok, I'll be testing too

Since we own similar systems (QX9650, 4GB RAM and this mobo), I suggest the following:

multiplier 8.0
strap 333
fsb 450
pcie 105
CR 1N
Ram 1801
Ram timings 7-7-7-18
Static Read and Dynamic Write both Disabled
All voltage to AUTO except VDimm set to 2.02
LLC Normal
Both Spectrums Disabled.

All others set to AUTO.

Also, C1E Support and Vanderpool Technology, both Disabled.

I've tried these settings tonight and had 32M super_pi_mod-1.5 passed OK, and OCCT 1hour test STABLE !!!

I've also tried 3D games (the 3DMark06 "Return to Proxycon" burntest, and Mass Effect for an hour or so, both with no errors or glitches).

I believe too that ASUS Bios v. 505 is so far "jackpot" even for auto settings overclocking...

Would you mind linking me to that 0505 bios? I can't seem to find it. Thanks so much.

Here's a 32M run, Everest run, 3D run with all 4GB of memory with some pretty good results. I switched all settings and voltages to AUTO except vDIM 2.04v and vNB 1.5v. I've been testing both my sets of G.Skill D9GTS and it seems the first set I bought a few weeks ago runs tighter timings at higher FSB then the second set I got this week. I have checked and both sets contain D9GTS IC's. Does anyone know if these IC's need to be burned in?

Multi 8.0x
Strap 333
FSB 450
PCIE 105
CR 1N
RAM 1801
DDR3 Timings 7-7-7-18
Static Read and Dynamic Write both Disabled
All voltage to AUTO except VDimm set to 2.04v and vNB to 1.5v
LLC Normal
Both Spectrums Disabled.

All others set to AUTO.

Just got back from vacation. I've been happy running FSB400 MHz and DRAM frequency at 1600 MHz with 4GB ram for awhile as I hadn't been able to do even that until I got the OCZ reapers. I'm currently running BIOS 0401. I tried briefly increasing FSB to 450 MHz but got prime95 errors after several seconds. It looks like the beta BIOS 0503 and 0505 are much more friendly with increasing the FSB for both the duals and quads. Nick2006 and deachus, I see you both have PCIE higher at 105. What does PCIE do and how have you found that increasing this setting has helped?

Hey, let me know how those reapers work for you. Mine are totally stable, but do not seem to want to run much faster than 1800mhz. They also do not want to run tighter than 8-8-8-27, although, either of these could be because my board needs alot of voltage to the NB, and I don't want to go any higher at the moment. For reference, I am running 1.57v to the NB to get my system stable at 450mhz FSB with only a dual core. If you are much lower than that, you may need to crank up the NB voltage to get rid of your errors. That is assuming your other settings are pretty close to dialed in. Good luck!

I RMA'd my last P5E3 premium ... waiting for a replacement at the moment, will be here before 17:30gmt today, god I hope ive been sent a working one :P

[deachus]

I am going to try and make some time this weekend to get this setup in my A/C chiller that runs the motherboard, ram, videocard, CPU at -26F idle -6F load. (Or at least my E6600 setup did) Maybe not that good temps with the 9450.

Will post pics and results once I'm done. Hoping to get above 490FSB with the cooler temps.

[Donster]

Guys i now suspect i have a dud PSU ... new mobo and still the same video issues ... as soon as i add my sound card the video card led goes from green to red and i get a no display message ... this happens with vista and xp ... what do you guys think?

[deachus]

Have you tried a different video card or PSU? Have you using the PSU calculater to see if you have the required amount of power for your components?

Thanks for the reply dude ... unfortunatly I dont have a spare PSU or video card ... think im gona order a hiper M 880w tonight and test that tomorrow, just hope it fixes it ... I currently have a toughpower 850W, surely thats enough for the system in my sig?

Regards

[Donster]

Damn it to late to order! just ran the psu calculator ... system is about 500W tops so the 850 i have should be more than enough

[deachus]

That PSU should be more than enough. I am running an OCZ 600w GameXStream and all my rails are rock solid so 800w should be more than enough. Have you test your rails with a digital multi meter to see if there putting out the correct voltages? What does the bios say for the following voltages?

5V
3.3V
12V

I got no problems with my nexus 600 watts .

what I'd suggest you is to manage to run your board with any friend's rig and see then if it is definitively a hardware issue .

Just had a look in the bios ... voltage reports are below

5V = 5.040V
3.3V = 3.312V
12V = 12.096V

Im gona go and buy a psu today ... see if that makes any diff

[deachus]

Those voltages all look good. To bad you don't have a DMM to test under Prime load.

[Donster]

Ok i got a jeantech storm 700W psu and the machine seems fine now ... looks like the toughpower is dud

Asus has a new bios 0505 out now, no longer beta! Anyone wanna be the guinea pig? Anyone already using it? How is it?

cant see it on any ftp..
