1433MHZ 5-5-5-20 4GB kit 1333EB



Fully stable, multiple tests with linpack and PCmark Vantage loops.

Board is quirky for sure.

Check that, you can download the CMO file for the profile and test it also if you wish

CPU Voltage: 1.8375v ????

Isn't it crazy ? (inside)

i only had 1.4ish set and the profile loads this for me each time

I think no!! I used that voltage for the 5160Mhz, that was to reach the 655FSB and the 5700Mhz sees some posts ;

Hi Guys,

Currently, Iam running a Sapphire Radeon 4850 on my P5Q3 (Serial 86M0AIxxxxxx). I want to raplace the 4850 with a Geforce GTX260, does the GTX fit onto the P5Q3?
I read that there are some problems with the Nvidia GTX2XX series and the ASUS P5Q Deluxe...

Cheers

well for starters try getting your RAM up to its stock 1600mhz if you can.
your cpu could def. use some more volts.
post BIOS settings?

[Sav]

this motherboard is very crazy, it's impossible to set 400x9 or 400x9,5 with dram frequency 1600, spi 32 freeze on first loop.
I tried 1000 bios setting with high/low voltage /timing but spi 32 is not stable.

On my old Bltz i can set 1600/1800 MHz with all divider and fsb ...I am very disappointed for this mainboard

ok you are stable, but why i must set 1333 MHz if i buy 1600 memory?

as far as i know this is an issue accross all P45 cipset mobos; they just cant support 2x2gb RAM at speeds over 1333mhz

unless you're talking about a 2x1gb kit, in which case i have no clue

[Sav]

I had problems with 2x2 GB Corsair MS3 1600C9, but now i buy 2x1 gb Ocz 1600 c7 (D9gtr) and i've the same problems.

I tried with all setting it's possible

[Dr@gonXP]

Which Bios?
Try Strap: Auto

Edit: Give the orange RAM slots a try

I'm not a newbie especially with asus motherboard

[Dr@gonXP]

I had similar problems with 2GB A-DATA1600, but with the new 1303 Bios everthing works fine (and I am also not a newbie ).
This Board is very good but a bit tricky...

[Slovnaft]

i dunno, pretty much the only complaints about this board i've heard (and i've read this whole thread) have been from OCZ ram.
newegg told me ocz ram had issues with this, but i'm a mushkin man so i felt safe.
now i just need to get my ram back from rma to verify this.

[Tony]

This board loves big fsb, low ram dividers, tight timings and low TRD. Forget 1600mhz, its faster at 1200+ with 5-5-5- timings with a lot less setup time.

[modderwannabe]

i'm running 1200 now as tony mentioned, but will try bigger fsb.
i leave most of the bios settings to auto. very happy now cos i do not have so much of auto-restarts & having alot of trouble getting into bios to reconfigure settings and i've also tried multiple settings with very bad results such as having trouble to enter bios, tried resetting the pc etc ... but by removing 2nd slot of ram on the orange slot it does allow me to get into bios. another problem where it wont even boot into windows and shows a bluescreen then auto restarts itself. when settings are changed with 8/7/7/27 dram Voltage of 1.80 FSB strap @ 400mhz Dram @ 1066mhz, it boots and loads windows fine, but then applications would quit by itself then strarts to go crazy or an auto restart again !!!

but with 5/5/5/20 settings, my machine is very stable with 1200mhz dram. will try to post some bios settings. good luck to all with the settings and hope to see more stable bios settings
