"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[JHS]

That's exactly what I did. I even used the one's from Intel's site as well. All I would find on the floppy was ICH10R SATA AHCI drivers... no mention of RAID. Consequently, when I went to install XP, Windows would never recognize my drives. Vista with the drivers installed already, installed first time without a hitch.

I'm fine with Vista, I just need some RAM. I think my first DOA P5Q-Deluxe toasted one of my sticks of Ballistix.

- Intel(R) ICH7R/DH SATA AHCI Controller


EDIT: You sure you had raid selected in bios? Maybe it wont see raid drivers with F6 if achi is selected?
I always slipstream my drivers to install cd because of I don't have floppy drive so cant really test myself :/

I used the one from Intel's site that you extract and put on the floppy... it was smaller than the 6mb file you show. I'm on Vista now and everything's fine and dandy.


EDIT: And yes, I am sure RAID was set in the BIOS. That was the first thing I checked.

Hey there
I want some advise about stability .

Here are my settings:

FSB : 425 x 8
PCIE: 100
DRAM : 1278 // 5-5-5-15 (trfc:40) @2.1v
DRAM STATiC READ.. : DISABLED
VCORE: 1.36875(VID=1,3125)
CPU PLL : 1.58
FSB TERM. : 1.46
DRAM: 2.1
NB: 1.34
SB: 1.10
PCIE SATA: 1.50
LLC: ENABLED
SPREAD CPU/PCI SPECTRUM : DISABLED
C1E: DISABLED
MAX CPUID LIMIT: DISABLED
INTEL VIRT. : DISABLED
CPU TM : ENABLED
EXECUTE DISABLE BIT: ENABLED
MEMORY REMAP: ENABLED
MEMORY HOLE : DISABLED


I tried prime95(large FFTs) for about 2 hours and it was stable until 125 minutes ; it gave error on core0 .
Would you give me an advice about my settings?
Thank you.

how is this motherboard for quad cpu + micron ddr2 overclocking on air?

cpu is q9450, ram is 4x1GB micron d9gmh.

I am trying to choose between this motherboard and Tpower I45?

[Alex-Ro]

For ram overclocking choose Biostar.

Thanks!

What about the cpu overclock? is the p5q-d more quad friendly?

Do you think that the Asus 16-phase helps? (Biostar is 4 Phase)

I do not care about the ExpressGate or the overclocking software in Windows.

what is the highest fsb overlock on air that I should expect with a quad on this motherboard?
