Modded ASUS P5Q/Pro/Deluxe/Premium BIOS

[Leeghoofd]

I would run one instance per dimm... and try to use up the maximum memory it will allow me... on my XP64 rig that is 1024 per memtest... and to me an error is not a good sign at all...

Revisions of the last batch of mBIOSes are in the works. I re-visited some old avenues and found some noticable differences. I won't bother with seperate zip files or anything all BIOS files will be in one archive, just extract the one for your board.

P5Q R2 mBIOSes

[truehighroller]

What's the diff. ?

[Ket]

Memory table replacement.

[waynetu]

diff between your first release and this final version for deluxe? cheers

[Willhub]

Those for all the P5Q mobo's?

What difference could it make?

[Ket]

Memory table replacement.

Again..

[Willhub]

Again..

That it?

The reason I asked is because I thought something similar was put in before....

So what difference will this "memory table replacement" make?

[BeastNotro]

Yeha Ket i would be wondering also what is the difference specifically with Revision 2 of your Bioes?

Working fine here.

For details on memory tables go back in this thread. In a nutshell memory tables directly effect memory compatibility, memory overclocking, and the like.

So you have just further modified the memory tables more than you did in the previous release?

Also I bumped my CPU GTL voltage on the second core to 0.8 and its at 1.24-1.32V at load at 4.22Ghz, been going for 5 hours Prime Blend, am I ok to exit now or should I keep it going to 8 hours?

Memory passed bootup Memtest 86 CD for 8 hours +

ok link now is good
I hope this new mem. table help me in my problem

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)
Inote that there is asmall 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

[Brama]

Ket, you have a PM about boot block modification.
Thanks for attention.

As I said earlier in the thread, I'm only doing P5Q series BIOS mods atm, I don't have time to mod all sorts of BIOS code, at least, not without a manufacturer paying me to do so.

As nobody else has said anything I'll add my input on the V2 P5Q Pro mBIOS of mine. I'd say to date its probably the best. Currently running 3.55GHz on my E4400 which is an all-new high for it (previous being 3.4GHz). I'm perhaps pushing the chip a tad hard with 1.5v, but its actual is about 1.49v idle and around 1.47v load with LLC disabled, so its alright. Max FSB is still 425MHz and not 100% stable, but for an E4400 425 FSB is mad high. I'm one of the lucky ones that got an L2 stepping

A quick 3DMark06 run gave a score of 13.5k for a single HD3870 512MB @ 850\2GHz. Enabling CF returned a score of 15.5k which pretty much confirmed what I suspected with my CF setup. Even @ 3.55GHz the cards are bottlenecked. CF score with the CPU @ 3.4GHz returned 14.2k.. so yea, still cant fully lift that bottleneck For that reason I'm going to have to grab an E8400 or something and clock the snot out of it.

Brave lil 4400, still trying to hold its own

Take it from someone who has been married for 36.5 years and dated the same girl for 3 years before getting married. Stick with computers, alot less trouble and upgrades are way cheaper
