Modded ASUS P5Q/Pro/Deluxe/Premium BIOS

[Ket]

My modded BIOS will behave differently due to the new elements, which does mean you will need to start over again. From my own testing and from others, there has not been a problem when just running stock, so I can't advise on that.

[truehighroller]

Agreed. Does some one want to buy my Q9450 from me here ? I will sell it for $280, considering it clocks so high and I paid $330 and it does so at low voltages, that has been proven. Ket I remember you saying lucky sap basicaly do you want to buy it? I want a dual core. I have already had a Quad core that clocks high on air now I want a Dual core that does the same.

I'd like to nab it off you, but I have some rather expensive bills to pay and a friends birthday night out I said I would go to. All mean I have little money for the next 2-4 weeks

[truehighroller]

If some one else doesn't come up with the money before then I will sell it to you sir.

Thanks for the votes guys To my mind I haven't done anything special with these mBIOS revisions. I just replace certain parts of the BIOS from other BIOSes with perhaps a little tweak here and there, but it does bring one thing to light - the Asus BIOS dev clearly has no farking clue what their doing.

Well, whatever it is you're doing, it's working very well for lots of us. I told several people on another forum today about your modded BIOS, and one of them in particular was happy because the mBIOS brought stability to a difficult overclock they'd been trying to achieve. Myself, I can clock this E8600 with less voltage than before. Great stuff.

Keep on, Ket. I for one really appreciate your efforts.

Well i never have done this before... 1133mhz on my ram and 1152mhz, but she rebooted.. read my recent post about it (below).

I like this 1306 modded Bios so far, not sure how gaming is under it YET.

hey what about modding my biostar t-poer i45's bios? or is it just asus?

[Ket]

Only doing the P5Q series otherwise I'll end up with hundreds of different types of BIOS code. Theres just no way I could spend that much time doing so many BIOSes without a company paying me or something.

If some one else doesn't come up with the money before then I will sell it to you sir.

Update to my last post.

There is no way the crucial pc5300 will run in the system now, no matter bios version. So im gonna test them in another system, weird if they are dead as they where running side by side with my cellshock and they are fine..

And the crucial pc5300 was running just fine before trying the modded 1306 bios. 1285MHz 5-5-4-8 at about 2.35volt(real) wasnt a problem.

Hi every body
my problem is very simble
when I want to overclok my Q6600 to 3.4 GHZ I use this setting
cpu multi. =9
fsb freq. =380
dram freq.=716 with my ram Kingston 2x1 GB Dual Channel (DDR2 800)
I note that there is a small hint in the left side of the bios page say

dram freq. lower than 800 MHZ may cause system boot faliuer due to spec. violation

this hint here even if what the setting of FSB STRAB TO NORTH BRIDGE
how come I cant get ram lower than 800
but when I but the dram bus =901 the system boot well



and also when I want to overclok the Q6600 to3.2 GHZ and dram freq.=800 and
FSB STRAB TO NORTH BRIDGE=400
the system refuse to boot but when I leav
FSB STRAB TO NORTH BRIDGE =auto system work fine
even with modded bios
i need some help here

Little OT, but what happen to the forums past 3 days or so?

Which is the correct, and safe, link for P5Q Deluxe 1306m?
Thank you!

Charles, the owner moved everything to a new database and it took a lot,,,,, longer then what he thought it would. We shouldn't see any more database issues now though.

Np, found on another post on "zshare" ... i hope it's "safe"

Hi.

Is the FSB Strap essential for getting good overclocks? I just have it set to AUTO.

[Quad-Damage]

Do you have settings for a 8500 with PC8500 set to run 4.1ghz or so?

[BeastNotro]

Hi.

NO as i never really have used it even when i ran my Q6600 (just sold it) .. i have tried it on 266,333 and 400, but on AUTO its the same type of settings except for EXample: Strap 400 say = 900mhz on memory, but on AUTO and manually set it = 901 mhz .. so there is that tiny variance.

Ah I see.

I am going to give this modded bios a go on my P5Q-E, this mobo is doing my head in, I'm trying to get 500fsb, so trying it at 3Ghz to make sure I can (x6 multi), and orthos on Blend and memtest gets errors on the memory, the ram is underclocked, stock voltage and 5-5-5-15, 1000Mhz, stock been 1066Mhz.

I am on PL10 settings, DRAM Static Control disabled, DRAM Read training disabled, Mem OC. Charger enabled and AI Clock Tweaker set to lighter.

The above helped do 100% in memtest over 1024mb ran in 2 instances, I dont know about enabling clock skew for the ram to 200PS, worried I'll get a performance drop, I want to get to 4Ghz 100% stable with best performance.

Dont get it, cant these mobo's hit 500fsb properly?

Well in my P5Q Deluxe I am on PL10 settings, DRAM Static Control disabled, DRAM Read training enabled, Mem OC. Charger AUTO and AI Clock Tweaker AUTO.

As for Skew i am AUTO on those too, maybe try that.

Does PL10 not kill performance?

What FSB are you at?

Currently at 4050Mhz, 450fsb, 1.344V, and failed intelburntest, something is up it can be unstable now tho :\

I run PL10 and no it not a killer at all.

FSB on my Q6600 was for 3.6ghz 8 x 450 and 1.35v Full Load and for 3.4ghz it was 8 x 425 at 1.30v

On my New E8600 it is 10 x 420 at 1.33v (for now) ...

I am now 13hrs Orthos Blend stable and still going.

Is that intelburntest good?

I just ran it through 10 tests and on the 10th the norm was different .

PL is at 10, ram is at 900, stock voltage, 5-5-5-15, made sure its 1:1 ratio.

ram stock is 1066Mhz 5-5-5-15 2.0-2.1V

CPU Voltage was at 1.344V for 4050Mhz.

1.344V passed orthos Small FTT's for 8 hours, blend stresses the ram too not the cpu more right?

Also will altering mem clock skews from auto to say 200PS Delay effect performance?

I recommend not to run linpack anymore as it is inconsitant and can cause damage to componets including CPU degardation if used many times over.

if you can prime Using Orthos Blend Test at least 12 hours then your good to go, of course if you can prime longer your goo to go.

Every Overclock i have ever done i used Orthos Blend Test prime and years agp prime95 Blend Test.

Keep Skew on Auto and whatever i stated before do so too and try that for Orthos Blend test which stresses both Ram and CPU.

Some ppl will do smallFTT for CPU for 8-12hrs and then Large for Ram 8-12hrs.

Like i noted above i have never had any issues if i was prime Blend for 12hrs or more... of course more is better.

We will hardly ever stress or use our systems as much as Orthos Blend will do in a 12 hour cycle..... i fold as well when i am good to go on this clock i will fold and never have had any issues.

My timings are 5-5-5-15 - 55 the other settings for timings is set at Auto.

All pullins are enabled and PL10 is being used.

[Willhub]

I will try blend now, sleepy time will wake up in night and will check, I'll be ****** if its failed , my settings are slack enough dont want a slow 4Ghz PC :\
