Modded ASUS P5Q/Pro/Deluxe/Premium BIOS

[Leeghoofd]

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

Ket is right mate, the board works at stock speeds, so there's nothing really legal you can do about it... would love to see ya settings and a full list of ya hardware first before you blame the board... 370FSB seems pretty low also I have no idea why you insist on using 400strap in your thread... and on a note more voltage isn't always better...

[Tatty_One]

I was kind of under the impression, that the reference to 1600FSB on the box was actually talking about the support to 1600FSB chips ie the QX9770......so "native" support as opposed to overclocking to 1600, or am I miles away here

[Leeghoofd]

Looking at intel specs for P45 it mentions 1333FSB support

Mobo makers are also advertising P45 boards capable of hitting 1600MHz (quad-pumped) front-side bus speeds despite the fact that Intel only endorses FSB speeds up to 1333MHz. Intel appears content to limit official support for the 1600MHz front-side bus required by its obscenely expensive Core 2 Quad QX9770 flagship to the high-end X48 chipset, which also doubles up on the P45's PCI Express lanes.

, Asus and co has 1600FSB out of the box, but if you read spitfire's thread on the other forum there's more to it then just the board...

[truehighroller]

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?

That is what Garren told me and he is the lead whatever it is called vp something over there at Asus for here in America. I actually could confirm it or debunk it myself as I have a Q6600 in my Fiances that I know overclocks like a beast. I don't think every one has the issue though but, you never know..

Ahh a fellow TPUer is everybody migrating from TPU to XS or something?

Hi, to everyone, i'm new on this forum.
I have a problem with Asus P5Q-PRO with an E2140(soon change). Even with modded bioses i can go furter than 395FSB, 3160GHZ, even though at a friend my E2140 rev MO can do FSB 415-420.
It might be a problem with strapp on NB because it only works fine set auto,
if i set on 400 it don't post. Also a problem is with Ram, i'm obligated to push them because for example at 395FSB, 3160GHZ it's stable with memory at 1040 5-5-5-5 2t, but at same frequency it isn't stable(after 20-30mins) with memory at 980. (FSB:RAM DIVIZORS)
Curently m1307. I can say that mbioses helped me because with Asus officiales bioses max was fsb 380.
m140x version for P5Q-PRO will you do Ket? Thank you very much, anticipated.
P.S Thanks to God that i finaly succed to post on forum, i've been waiting 4-5 days from registrations !
I hope that i did not do big mistakes in english, because i'm not an englishman, i'm romanian from Romania, Europe for people who didn't heard until now about this country.

[Ket]

My P5Q Pro won't POST either when setting a memory divider higher than 1:1 with a 400 strap, even though it works fine on a AW9D-Max. Its either CPU or divider issues. Only known fix: buy a 45nm CPU.

Been a member since the start of the year but these guys have been helpful in the Q9650 thread so I pop in from time to time.

[Ket]

You should stop by more often nowhere near as many n00blets

[xdan]

Thank, you Ket anyway. You're good to be hire by Asus.
They have there meny incompetens, stupids guys.
Also without your mBioses, with Asus bioses i had ram errors at 1050 frequency. Now, i don't have anymore.

[axy1985]

Mmm... BIOS 1402 was pulled from the ASUS website for the P5Q-E. Any ideas why?
Noticed it when I was thinking of trying it out over my 1201 BIOS.

[anzial]

I'm trying to flash my brand-new P5Q deluxe with 1201m bios but AFUDOS hangs at advance check stage... It doesn't proceed to write anything... anyone has any idea why is this happening? I haven't tried other ways to flash the bios.

[samsonJS]

axy1985: Not sure why it was pulled, but I had back luck w/ 1306 and I assumed 1402 was a rushed job to fix some glaring bugs in 1306, maybe 1402 was worse for some people. Who knows. I'm doing ok on m1402 but if you're not having problems I'd stick w/ 1201 for the time being.

[xdan]

You can try two methods.
First and recomanded, to flash from bios : put the bios file on a USB flash drive, then from bios/tools/asus ez flash you update the bios...
Another method is from windows with Asus Update/update from file and you browse from your computer your 1201 bios file,/flash recomanded with Clear Cmos option activated

[Vazovskiiii]

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.

ok i will not do this
i;m using your mod bios of course 1306 for p5q non pro i have overclocked on this bios 1224 my teamxtrem ram but i just seen that p5q-e have more functions for overclocking the cpu that's why i'm asking i've heard that possible to upgrade maximus formula's bios on rampage formula so i've thought that it's possible on p45 to how do you thing in future it will be possible? i whant to know why it's not possible what kind of problem is it?
and is there 1307 mbios for p5q non pro?
thank you

Flashed to your 1201m bios but i do not see your symbol when i boot either.

[Ket]

Dunno why some see the logo and some don't, its somewhat of a mystery All I can say is try loading setup defaults, shutting down, removing CMOS battery and power cord and settings CMOS jumper to "clear" position for a few mins. Generally I advise doing this anyway so everything works as it should.

[xdan]

Check option boot screen logo (enable/disable), may be you guys in some strange way you have disable even though after flashing settings must be "default" and that means boot screen logo Enable.

[Dashock]

Checked everything should show anyways KET your a genuis the 1306 is playing well with me here is official Bios 1306 vs Superman Ket's bios 1306.

First up Official Asus Bios 1306


Next Superman Ket's Bios 1306


I got sum really nice gains on the copy now all the setting are on auto except the 5-5-5-15 I know i probbaly fine tune it but that will take me some time. Since yea'll are more experienced how does it look?

Removing CMOS battery is not that easy if you have a dual-slot videocard sitting over it

Thats some impressive results! Gotta admit.. Even I'm impressed how well my modded BIOS is doing vs. asus vanilla.

[B.E.E.F.]

So the 1402 for the P5Q-E are the ASUS beta ones? The website goes to 1306.

[Ket]

I think they are still beta yeah. I'm using a modded 1307 on my Pro and its working fine, from what others have said the other betas are fine as well.

[MajkY]

I ´m so pissed offfffffffffffffffffffffffff

when i press start-restart from windows, system restarts, but thats all. No boot at all...... no logo screen nothing. (fans are on) and this is happening everytime i want to restart system no matter if its from windows or bios... also when i change some setting in bios "save and exit" from bios...it restart, but no boot... i have to unplug electricity and than on 2-3 time it boot.
I have ASUS P5Q PRO with bios 1004. I wonder if this 1307 for my board can solve this problem ? :S

[Ket]

Sounds more like a power issue. Try a different PSU or at least make sure all connections are connected properly.
