ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe discussion

[Tony]

so i should RMA my board? i have v1.02g what do i tell asus why i need to RMA it?

well I see it this way, try your ram in another board with your cpu, if you do a lot better then you have to look what is causing the issue

[THUMPer]

@ aerie

FSB 500
divider 1:2
Timings 8-7-6-19
vdimm @ 2.06v (real ~2v)
vNB @ 1.38v (real ~1.32v)
vPLL @ 1.52v
vFSB @ 1.20v
LLC enabled

rest @ auto

I would not recommend these settings. my board died. hah

I am not sure how you are all getting this hig FSB. I cant for the life of me get a high fsb stable

in my p5k3, p5e3 dlx and blitz extreme my ram did ~2100mhz @ 2.06v 9-8-8-21 so i'd say that the p5q3 has a serious problem if it cant post with my ram at anything over 1600mhz or so.

Mine is working fine with the CellShocks.
If you think you're having SPD issues, then let me know and I'll give you my SPD.

What CellShocks model on your pair is working fine ? i looking will try your SPD, i have alot of problem on mine bluekit

Today I decided to test my 4GB G.Skill HZ (F3-12800CL7D-4GBHZ) memory set.

Results were similar to my previous tests with these sticks. Chips are D9JNL.

Are you can played this pair on 1:2 divided ? i met alot problem on 1:2 with D9JNL same both on mine G.SKILL(F3-12800CL7D) and Bluekit but for D9GTR it not any problem

btw. i have G.SKILL F3-12800CL7D-2GB 2x pack one on D9JNL and one on D9GTR

Thanks

Both the Blue Kit and the black kit ( DDR3-1800 8-7-6-21 @ D9GTR ) that Sascha sent me for review a year ago Zol.

Hi guys,
My mobo won't boot correctly after a neat flash from the EZ-Flash utility interface at POST. Everything went well but after the reboot, no video output but the system is in sort of stand-by mode. I thought Asus Diehard bios will boot from the backup chip automatically if anything went wrong. Can I manually choose to start from the backup chip?
Please help! I don't like the RMA thing .
By the way my modded bios could be the culprit but I went flashing confidently relying on their claim "Diehard Bios".

[Fitseries3]

mine did that for an hour or so. you have to unplug the PSU and hold the power button down for 30sec then reset the cmos jumper. it should boot up to the bios recovery screen and already have loaded the 0507 bios.

[heliox]

thanks a lot but it didn't work . I'll dig deeper and keep you updated.

Here's what saved me from a bad bios flashing, even though carried out by Asus's recommended EZ Flash 2. Beware, it's extremely DANGEROUS. Not fit for shaky hands and weak heart . Here's the post from another forum:

I found only some info on a Aopen board that has same technology and this restore is done with changing a jumper, but P5Q3 doesn't have such jumper. (i tried with the CLRM jumper but no luck)
The only way I could boot again is by changing the bios chip physically. (BE CAREFULL WITH THE PINS)
After swapping them it can boot again with factory bios but no way to flash this chip, its protected.
Also, I wrote Asus an email about it. Today I got reply from them that they don't know it either so the forwarded my email to Taiwan and will come back to me.
BiTRiP

Then getting a hint from another guy, he did this :

I booted with the backupchip in the mainsocket, then started up EZ Flash. Before selecting an old working ROM I removed the bioschip from the mobo (while it was still running) and replaced it with the bad flashed bioschip.
Then I pressed ENTER to write flash again. Scary but cool, it works.
The left one (the one closest to the pci slots) is the backup chip and the right one is the main chip.
Just be carefull and pull it straight out, not one side then the other.
Good luck

Now, I'm able to post from my favorite system . Hope it helps other unlucky guys like me.

[KanGaXx]

which is the best pcb right now ? 1.02G is best ?

[THUMPer]

i had 1.02G. I think most out now are 1.02G.
When i say had, i mean i have it, but i'm RMAing it because I think i killed it.

ASUS P5Q3 Deluxe BIOS build 1201

[Leeghoofd]

and some times te acces to HD's its slow or frezzes for a second any sugguestion?

I only have that with big Terrabyte HD's and only when moving big files like DVD.iso's etc... I only own Samsung FA 1Tb disks, so not sure it's HD related or mobo or both... but I'm on the DDR2 version Dlx...maybe a P45, ICH 10 bug ?

well i tray the last bios...

.

[Fitseries3]

well... if anyone was wondering... P5Q3 and WD velociraptor works fine together. no issues here. however... enabling write back cache makes the drive perform worse on the ICH10R but better on ICH9R. weird.

anyone know if the 1201 bios fixes the mem issues?

[BulldogPO]

Well, that 1201 is piece of , at least for me.
If board does´nt boot with OC settings then when turning main power of from PSU it clears bios.

[Fitseries3]

im not having that problem but my ram STILL wont run over 1600mhz. im guessing it's RMA time. has anyone RMAed to the newer board revision yet? what did you tell asus?

[Nordstern]

same here... my ram does'nt like any above 1600MHz.

[THUMPer]

So I got my RMA'ed board. They are shipping 1.02G's with 611 BIOS. For now

Here with 0706 bios up bluescreen and IRQ NOR LESS EQUAL....

any suguestion to fix it?

[BulldogPO]

Any new bioses available?
Or what is best bios for high FSB on Micron chips so far?

[philbrown23]

man with all these problem on this board I may just get a biostart DDR2 board instead jeez!
