ASUS P5E64 WS Evolution - Tips, Tricks, Mods, BIOS, OCing & More...

Where are the new bios?

Can someone set up a link in the first post?

Why are Asus so slow to realease new bios for Asus Evolution?

GG Dsjjang, nicely done. Could you post a 36/40GP spi1/32m screen please? (I f you have one) at any FSB you wish, just 4 or 3,6Ghz cpu.

@Nizzen:
you must know this one certainly, I don't know if there is another. http://support.asus.com/download/dow...Language=en-us

I would really like to get a pre-penryn BIOS if that was possible on this mobo, just as for P5E3 WS Pro with the 0124 if I'm not wrong.

Does it at least exists for Asus Evolution ?

36/40GP what's mean??

[ToyTen]

This is it, thanks for sharing. Here are mines:
40GP 1m:


40GP 32m:


36GP 1m:


By doing these benches at a fixecpu frequence is good to know how a mobo behaves. Good to compare between all models.

Anyone has recent experience with Mushkin XP3 1600 memory? I pulled my eVGA 790i and bought WS EVO but still having problems with my X3360 and Q9450 both. I see G.Skill is pretty popular - I wonder if I'll have to try that next to see if I can finally come up with something stable. What series is more popular/recommended?

[Dsjjang]

FSB600 3DMark06 so easy~

vnb 1.45v
vfsb 1.36v

You are an oc giant.

You are an oc giant.

Thx, that's only good MB~
I'm not oc giant~

Can anyone offer something workable to start with for a quad core Xeon X3360 and this board? I'm too frustrated... can't get anything to post/boot if I don't set everything to Auto.

[Cooperdale]

Actually I had to set almost everything to non-auto, auto was not stable! That's because I have 1800 ddr3 and the bios automatically raised the fsb to 450. I can't seem to reach a stable configuration with fsb>400 though, so I had to choose a 400x10 to overclock the cpu and downclock the ram at 1600. I get 22300 points at 3dmark06 with an ati 4870x2.

[Dsjjang]

High fsb 5:8 divider test~

FSB 600 5:8 CL7-6-6-18 1T 32M avable easy~

Bios set

vnb 1.45v
vfsb 1.36v
vdimm 2.1v

I couldn't used PL8~
PL9 was perhaps limit what MB run at high fsb~

Hi Dsjjang,
all this is bery nice once again
If mine wasn't so much bugged, I would have kept it

Now I do this on a good X48 too



If you want to, could you do some 4Ghz Spi32m, as tight as possible ?

Yap, I aleady saw that~
Good MB, congrats~



4g 32M DDR3 2000 8-7-6-18 1T result~
but my best score was when used maximus extream~
This is that~

[ToyTen]

oki and on Evo, your best 32m at 4ghz, do you have one to show ? Otherwise it is ok, I've seen enough with this one

Your last Spi-screen is really really good

Keep pushing Dsjjang

Btw, was your NB under AIR or better cooling ?

[Dsjjang]

Thx~
All MB cooling was air and stock cooling with 120mm fan~
Keep pushing, too~

[TASOS]

Did anybody noticed a change in the behaviour of this board between 579 & 580 FSB with 333 strap ?

Regarding memory bandwidth ?

[shawn1998]

Wow, this thread kind of died out lately. There hasn't been a new bios out for awhile, either. Anything new happening with this board for anyone?

[BenchZowner]

I don't know if there's a newer BIOS available.
I'll ask later on today.
I'm waiting for the Rampage Extreme.

[|Oc|REvO_HsArC]

where is the performance level setting on the 601 bios? whats the name?

I don't want to use memset all the time :\

[BenchZowner]

It's the "Common Performance Level" setting.

Ai Transaction Booster: manual

and choose PL what you want~

A new official BIOS 0508 is available via Asus Download support site. Has anyone tried it yet?

Does this have better compatibility with DDR3 modules?

I am running 0601 and am wondering if I should "Downgrade" to this BIOS?

Thank you mlai

I will give it a try as soon asap It is soooooo long that a newer BIOS didn't came out

??? I just went to visit Asus's global DL site and I only saw 0506, which is already out for a while... Could you link the one you are refering to please ?

Ooops..... My bad... It was 0506.... Not 0508.... Gotta get myself another cup of coffee......

Anyway, I am currently on the beta 0601. Should I downgrade to 0506?

All these tweaking to get DDR3-1333 8G working is really killing me.....

All these tweaking to get DDR3-1333 (1600 was a no-go with all 8gig installed). 8G working is really killing me.....

Really? I am running 8gig of the G-Skill @ 1333, although I think at 9-9-9-21, but with a 1T command rate. 100% stable. Plus, running the QX9650 @ 3.3Ghz as well.

Edit - running 0601 as well...

[QettoE]

I've got my X3360 OCCT and Prime stable at 4.0G and then dropped down to 3.8 for 24/7 use. However, my games crash from time to time. Any advise will be appreciated.
