ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe 1103 Beta Bios
[1103]
----------------------

Whats changed? any info?

[KanGaXx]

i tryed 0904 and i cannot be stable at 1800 8-8-8 1,9v but with beta 1102 i am stable....
i tryed also 850 6-6-6-18 2,3v but i cannot be stable with both bioses but with x48t-dq6 i am stable @ 900 6-5-5 2,2v...

any ideas?

[jugeen]

there is no 1T option in BIOS till 0904 release. i think 1103 doesn't have that option too.

[zozo]

Still no luck with this beta BIOS, my Q9450 and OCZ3P16002GK 2x1G kit...

Everything on Auto after loading setup defaults -> can't boot Windows.
With DRAM Voltage at 1.80V (RAM still at 1333), I can boot and launch many programs, but not even a second of SuperPI.
The only way to have a stable SuperPI 4M is to set my 1600 kit to 800MHz.......

Other problems with my Core 2 Quad :
With "CPU Margin Enhancement" at "Optimize" (default), 2 cores are OK, but the last 2 do errors very often. The last two threads of Prime95 stop after a second or two. I had data corruptions on programs and the system...
With "Performance Mode" it's OK.

[KanGaXx]

i tryed 0904 and 1102 but i cannot reach 1000 with cellshock 15000 (blue JNL) .... max 980 1,86v , 1000 with any voltage wont work....

i tryed kingstone 14400 too (GTR) and i cannot push them 6-6-6 or 6-5-5 @ good frequency ( with x48 i did sp1mb 925mhz 6-6-6-18 2,25v now with 2,3v on p45 i cannot surpass 850mhz...)

help me pls

I have a problem with my motherboard. The SATA disks I have installed appear properly in the BIOS menu, but when I want to install any Windows OS (Vista, XP), a mesage appears saying that the disks are not recognised. The BIOS version is 0904 and my SATA disks are seagate ST3500320AS sata II. The RAM's that I'm using are Mushkin PC3-14400 and the CPU is Intel Q9450. Any suggestions would be more then appreciated.

Did you get your SATA/RAID Drivers on a floppy and press F6 at the beginning of the install?

[RoboionatoR]

No I didn't,where can I get them...drivers

[BenchZowner]

From Intel's download center.
Download the latest Intel Matrix Storage Manager and extract the files on a temporary folder on your HDD and then copy then on your favorite media ( anything will work for Windows Vista installations ) [ for XP you need a FDD or to integrate them ].

To extract the files from the installation package you just need to open a command prompt window and type C:\INTEL_MSM_INSTALLFILE_DIRECTORY\FILENAME.EXE -A -PC:\Temp

That will extract the files in C:\Temp

I have an interesting problem with this mobo. I cannot work dual channel very well. I tried 4 pairs of kit but same. I push 6ghz with single channel but with dual kit max stable 5.7ghz

[KanGaXx]

my new test with 1102 do this:
with cellshock pc3-15000 i can get 970 stable cas 8 with 1,9v but i after 485 on 1:2 the motherbeard is totaly unstable.
tryed cas 7 too and cant go over 460....

with kingston 14400 gtr i tryed low timings and the motherboard can handle 850 cas 6....

[Pyr0]

Still unable to get my board fully stable.
Think I've had enough, will be asking Advancetec.co.uk if they will allow me to pay the difference to swap to a P5E3 Premium.

Didn't think to try single channel, I can't hit 5.8, on a 6Ghz chip.

Will try single channel when I get some more time.




I've tried 3 kits on this board (2X1Gb)

The G.Skill 1800 7-7-7 HZ's work great, very stable and make this a fun and fast board to use.
Running at 950 Cas7 PL6 is easy.

OCZ Platinum 1600 7-6-6 EB's don't really play nice, needs alot of work. and working out your best settings will see a lot of blackscreens and cmos resets.

Cell Shock 1866 8-8-8, my god does my board hate this set, nothing will go my way and even turned my OS to toast.

Update Boot block Version.

Anyone actually had good success with 2x2GB ram DDR3-1600 & above yet?

Anyone tried DDR3-1600+ kits from Mushkin, Patriot, G.Skill, Adata, Team, Cellshock, Super Talent, Kingston ??

[Fitseries3]

my crucial ballistix 1600mhz kit will run 1600mhz without a problem and will boot 1800mhz but then locks up booting windows and causes me to have to do a cmos reset to get it to boot again. this is with the 1103 bios. some improvement but not up to par to what my ram is capable of.

[wakestyle]

super talent 1800 cl7 here.

Works 'good' at 1800mhz cl7 450bus speed, with a quad. The X.M.S. setting in the bios was great! Same problem as others though, in order to get a higher fsb, I have to apply a ratio to the ram.

[BulldogPO]

Is that micron compatibility problem fixed yet?

Hi! Yesterday I tested this motherboard again and tried to find max stable memory speed in 32M superpi.

Do not blame ASUS or your memory sticks if you can't get good results. There is something "wrong" in the chipset. It is acting really weird sometimes when using different dividers or memory speeds.
Tight timings are impossible (for me) with P45. 1T and 7-6-6-15 timings would make this board fantastic. We have X48 for that, I quess.

Memory voltage was 2.2V (Higher doesn't help, cause it is limited by P45)

Here is aircooled 32M run:


Then I decided to test this motherboard with one of my E8500 CPUs and LN2 cooling. This motherboard is not the best for 32M

Here is my max 32M:

Mem bandwidth at that speed:


Then some 8M fun. Not bad I quess:


Then 1M:


Max MHz (fsb):

No huge problems so far

I need help please
I have p5q3 dlx bios 0904 with e8500 and 2x1 gb cellshock blue 1866 8-8-8-24
and i have big problems for stabilze all
i try 9x450 and ram 1800 with 1,94 volt or 1,96 8-8-8-24 and freeze
i try 9,5 multipler x 425 fsb and 1:2 ram and crashed
all is with strap 333
i put only this
vcpu 1,32 and real 1,30
vram 1.94 - 1.96
vnb 1,54
all rest is auto
ram 8-8-8-24 OTHER AUTO
disable all on cpu configuration
disable cpu spread spectrum and pciexpr spread
i try change divisor ram and work fine
please saidd me if i need change some on bios for stabilize my computer
Thnaks to all

[SF3D]

Try 500fsb, strap 333 and 1600MHz memory speed. That is where my stability starts. I have used 8x500 from the start and there is no problems. VNB is only 1.3V and Vmem ~2.1V

Those must be memory divider issues you have there.

thanks for help i try and said
are you sure that problem isn't compatibility with cellshock?
is possible that p5q3 dlx have prblem with 1:2?
i have cpu with 9,5 multipler and i must use 8X?
before this mortherboard i have p5k3 dlx and cellshock works good
what is perfect mortherboard for stabilze my computer?
i must take X48?? or 790i??
thanks for all
