Modded ASUS P5Q/Pro/Deluxe/Premium BIOS

[truehighroller]

Did you get the video ok? Asus never calls back when they say they will .

[Dee]

Dang that sucks my RAM issues should forever go away in a few days, I ordered some CellShock PC8000 that has Micron D9s

Nice! Hope the CellShock works good for you Ket. Let us know how it goes.

PS: Where did you find it for sale?

[Ket]

I found em right Here from what I've seen those kits hit 1200MHz pretty easily.

truehighroller; I havent watched the vid yet, it was buffering _very_ slowly when I tried, and eventually I gave up. I'll try gain a bit later.

Bad thing is that they are only 1Gb a piece sticks. I want the 2Gb a piece sticks and at low latencies. Mine seem to do pretty darn good here at my 1152Mhz~ though so I guess I should just deal with it. Just like I want a dual core but yet I know I will have to switch to 1:1 to get the clocks every one else does and I don't want to run at PL10 so, I might just stick with this Q9450 until I upgrade to the new Architecture, once it gets cheaper ofcourse. Hell I want some good DDR3 2000 Woot.. As far as the video goes Maybe I will download it and see if I get this issue. I have it on my PC already course, and watched it though and it seemed fine to me. Maybe you are trying to stream it? If that is the case you might want to actually download it then watch it. That server kicks arse that is for sure I was pulling 1.8Mbs from it when I tested the Linky.

2GB memory is plenty, even for Pista. (formerly known as Vista). Many people just aren't aware of services.msc lets you turn a whole hoast of useless crap off or set it to manual so it don't start with Windoze. That lil trick significantly frees up your memory

[truehighroller]

What services are good to turn off though. I know there are a ton that steal memory but I just never researched which ones to turn off.

I actually had 2Gbs of ballistix the two sided ones and sold them because when playing crysis my shiznit was like jerk move jerk move on day and I was like well screw it and got these sticks.

I am happy With 1306 BIOS i can step over 546 and with 1201 and before maximum was on the 532 FSB... Also i tightened timings of the RAM with 1 notch down and it works fine... I hope i will go over 560 FSB soon...

I have a screenshot somewhere from when I tried Pista. I'll upload it if I can find it again.

[truehighroller]

Thank you sir,

[Ket]

I couldn't find that screenshot, must of been on a DVD I made but that got cracked somehow :\ I did find this image though

[truehighroller]

That is just as good.

1.46 vCore 24/7 on air? Can you tell me what temps you get running IntelBurnTest, and what RPM your TRUE/Case fans are?

I can put more than this voltage... But temps are max 64-66C at 100% load... I use only Evercool 12cm fans 2300 RPM and had 4 of them, 2 for CPU push-pull and 2 for back of the case... Plus 92mm fan on the cover and 3x92mm for HDD's... My CPU does 4550 with same voltage and max tem around 68C 100% load...

[truehighroller]

They have duplicated my issue WOOT!! I am waiting for them to see what the issue is now they think it is driver related but I changed the drivers to be the right ones because Vista installs ICH9 drivers by default and I installed the ICH10 drivers my self and it still happens so, I told the guy that info and he is looking into it as well as his boss as this point.. I am so happy now it has been duplicated and I am not crazy any more...

[Ket]

...All you need do now is wait about 10 years while Asus try to figure out whats doing it

[truehighroller]

I know right.

[oMek]

well i just ordered a P5Q-E from newegg.

im running a Q9550 E0, G.Skill pc8500 (1066mhz) 2x2gigs ram.

what bios would you advise me to try first?

curently im hitting 3.8gigs @ 1.285 vcore on my p35 board. so anything higher than that will do me good ^^

[Ket]

Start with 1201m, most seem to like that version.

[Dee]

1201 is good, 1306 and 1402 are all great. I like the latest, 1402.

[Dee]

I found em right Here from what I've seen those kits hit 1200MHz pretty easily.

I ordered the same CellShock. I'm interested to see your results. Mine should be here early next week.

[oMek]

thanks for the fast replys ^^

[oMek]

also what version are the R2 bios posted here?

[Dee]

For your P5Q-E? 1306m.

Great, u saved me alot time figuring out these settings myself, thanks for sharing

Which is reccomended bios for great OC on Q6600-65nm? 1306m or 1402m? I want > 400 FSB... with old bios (803) i give 1,46v to cpu (dual fan air cooled), but i want try to lower vcore.
My ram is Corsair Dominator 1066MHz.
Thank you for your work Ket
