Thankyou very much mate, much appreciated, I'll let you know how I go. If you test it on yours before I get the chance tomorrow night, let me know how you go.

1200MHz so far with no mystery reboots like when using the M2F memory table. Will be pushing 1300 soon.

hallo everybody has anybody tried to do crossflashing on p5q non pro bios on p5q-e bios? is it possible?
i have p5q non pro and i'd like have same overckoking options and all features for my bios to do best overclock is it possible?

you need to use AFUdos flash, and you need a special command line (dont remember it offhand) or it will refuse to flash.

id say the P5Q Pro would be a more suitable bios for the P5Q.
no i havent tried it yet.

the P5Q doesnt seem to have a completely working bios, but then again all these P45 boards are flakey

Umm.. please don't try that you WILL kill your board. Use the latest mBIOS for your P5Q (see first post) and you should be good to go.

ED - As a point of reference any bugs people are experiencing with a P5Q series board post it in here and I shall look into things.

1200mhz ddr no post bug!

1199 = yes
1200 = no

at all fsb/nbs/mem ratio combinations.
verified using setFSB my mem can run 1250+mhz 24/7 stable, but the bios cant boot it.

[Ket]

You sure on that? With my mBIOS I was booting 1206MHz earlier when playing with my new set of D9s.

[Pntgrd]

I did a trial run with some OZ and booted into Vista at 500/1250 on 1402m.

I had the exact same thing on my P5Q-Deluxe 1199 stable, 1200 no POST, I also tried absolutely everything to no avail, it is the reason I RMA'd the board.

[Ket]

My P5Q Pro doesn't suffer with that at all.. but I am using a heavily customised BIOS I shall shoot past the 1200s entirely later today just to see if 1300+ is stable.

Ι'm experiencing a bug with FSB over 360Mhz on P5Q PRO with E8500 and i tried every BIOS out there. Whatever value I set for FSB over 360Mhz results in an unstable system.

Ket is there any way to get CPU GTL Voltage Reference 0.67x option?

no if ur motherboard doesnt support it !

You sure its not anything like FSB wall or just a weak chipset?

Maybe, but if it is possible it would likely be a PITA to put in.

im more then sure.
tried all Asus bios versions, and all your bios versions, no go @ 1200.

this is on a P5Q, but have also heard of this problem on P5Q Deluxe and P5Q Pro.

its as if its locked out, or 1200+mhz engages something automaticly that makes it unable to post.

[Ket]

Hmm.. well sounds like some kind of speed hole? maybe I got lucky with my P5Q Pro..

[SPiTFiREgr]

No i'm not. It seems to be an FSB wall / weak chipset but.. isn't that covered by the warranty? I bought something that supports 1600FSB right?

Although the specs of P45 by Intel state that the chipset supports up to 333Mhz FSB...

[carepolice]

Try another bios?
lower the multipr. and test when the wall comes / if there is.

Nope its not covered.. best thing you could do is do something to the mobo so it doesnt boot anymore (but dont make it obvious of course) and send the mobo back to the retailer for another. It does sound like the chipset on that mobo shouldnt of been used considering asus tout 1600MHz FSB.

How cannot be covered? The board advertises FSB1600. This is what i paid for.. right?

What frequencies did you try ? I know sometimes there are a holes bethween one frequency and another and maybe that is the problem... Or maybe you did something wrong with the settings ?
With my ex E8400 C0 i couldnt go over 480 FSB and 3600 MHz, but now with this E0 i can go over 550 FSB and 4600 MHz... Since i had this P5Q Deluxe i use FSB over 450 by default and that why i had P5B Deluxe and P5K-E before witch do over 450 FSB and i expect this mobo to go about 50 MHz higher than them and no need to go under 450 FSB even than under 500...
Just made a suggestion because i dunno your problem in deep and if you are sure that problem is in the mobo you can tell about to ASUS and see what they think...

[wongnog]

Apparently that is another bug, which the engineer "that recreated my bug and is working on fixing it" I had talked to informed me of. For some reason there is a glitch related to the 9 mutliplier and that is why you can drop it to 8 and get away with it. I think he said that the FSB gets screwed up for some reason with the 9 multi on some Quads.

Hmmm interesting, so are you saying the P5Q boards have a problem with 9 multi and 400 fsb on Q6600's? Can anyone else confirm this?

[samsonJS]

It's working for at least a few people.

Technically yes, but Asus will claim A: The chipset only officially supports 1333, and B: They will hide behind 1600MHz is when overclocking, and not guaranteed.
