"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

It really is very strange that the voltages for vdimm we are all measuring are so different. These boards seem to be very poorly made, with very little consistency. Perhaps it's time to throw it in the bin, and get something decent? It's a pity, because I thought the 'Deluxe' would be a high quality board. From all the problems, and variations between voltages etc, it appears they are in fact not high quality at all.

shoudnt Performance level reduce to 7 when I manual input common performance level 8, and with all phase-pulls enabled? I tried this with enabled/disabled the performance level was still 8 in memset.

No, it stays at whatever the PL is bios is set to, but in effect reduces latencies so it is equivalent to the next lower PL level. However the pullins actually reduce my boards performance, I have tried it numeerous times and with them all disabled, I get better performance. Go figure.
