Start tweaking now Cesar... try first Static Read Control to Enabled...test thoroughly... then try transaction booster to eg 10 and try to find again ya lowest stable value... good luck and cool them dimms !!!

[truehighroller]

I couldn't get mine stable at that speed but, I did get it into windows and what not though . I think if you buy the $300 dollar 2x 2Gb G-Skill sticks rated at that speed though, it is probably possible yes.

thanks...with the static read control enabled no boot

other test:

with PL7



with PL6


not stable...
with PL5 no boot, i need more volt for the DRAM?

and this:

with 450fsb pl9

[truehighroller]

That is freaking amazing how did you get those low ass PLs.

[Sauron_Vie]

great PL but i prefer a little more fsb for better mem perform.

[bigcesar]

with more FSBs is very hard for 4x1gb (2 dram different)
I'm using this config:

Maybe it is because you are using a low fsb and it is not as stressfull on the NB that let you get such a good PL. I get this as the lowest.. Maybe I should try for lower now after seeing this. It has been awhile since I have tried to get lower PL. Here is what I get right now,

[CryptiK]

It's because he is using the 2:3 divider, so PL6 is doable. On 4:5, the lowest you can get is PL8, and as we all know the lowest you can get on 1:1 is 10.

[Sauron_Vie]

1:1 Divider and using the 400 strap

[truehighroller]

What strap is that "2:3"? I am on 5:6 according to the screeny there and that is the 333 strap.

[Kartoff]

I try all kind of settings but seems my RAM cannot go to 1200 MHz But it goes to 1160 with 1 notch tighten timings than auto and i am happy... To be exact : 5-5-5-15-3-50-5-3-7-3-5-4-5-4-5-10-5-1-5-5 in order of appearance in P5Q Deluxe BIOS, PL10, all Pull-ins Enabled, DRAM Static Read Control: Enabled, DRAM Read Training: Enabled

[-n7-]

What strap is that "2:3"? I am on 5:6 according to the screeny there and that is the 333 strap.

2:3 is on 266.

You don't really get much for choices with a Q9450 with their low multi.

You can pretty much only do 1:1 or 5:6 with that CPU unless you have some miracle RAM i'd say. (edit: i'm referring to 2x2 GB kits...obviously you could with good 2x1 D9GMH kits)

[bigcesar]

now test only two dram, the OCZ reaper PC9600:

1338mhz PL9 2.3v E8400@4547mhz



and 1350mhz:



the problem is the stability of the core n1 i need change the GTL voltage?

Hi,

i've archieved PL8 with strap 333 and 1:1

The problem must be realted to 400 strap...

[Leeghoofd]

the problem is the stability of the core n1 i need change the GTL voltage?

Could be solved by a bit more Vcore, better cooling, higher PL,... numerous options to try...

which FSB ? Ram used ?

[anzial]

bigcesar - why does it shows up as DDR3 in memset?

[Leeghoofd]

Known bug mate... nothing special , CPU-Z also had it but that was corrected... MemSet will do so soon prolly in the next release

[Huexxx]

which FSB ? Ram used ?

Hi again,

I'm using right now 412MHz bus speed, but it was the same with 400MHz. In both cases PL8 and Moderate Clock Twister, PL7 freezes windows (with memset) and don't post (bios).

My RAM is 4x1Gb Geil Ultra 4-4-4-12@800, but i had loosen muy timmings to 4-5-4-14 in order to get stability.

Regards.

[Sauron_Vie]

the 400 strap works fine. i´ve no probl. with it

[nigelke]

i was wondering what BIOS i should use?
just download the latest one from the asus site ore maybe you guy's have a better idea

[Leeghoofd]

Start with 0803 mate (prolly stock bios) if you have issues regarding OC's or ram you can upgrade to eg 1306 or even 1402...

But test 0803 first , it's a very good bios...

[nigelke]

Thanks
wil test it out
And if i have some decent results i wil post them here

[wkk]

hello,

does anyone know if OCZ DDR2 4GB D/C Kit PC2-8000 4GB Platinum Edition Dual Channel (OCZ2P10004GK)
http://www.infonec.com/site/main.php...tail&id=352357
is okay with the P5Q Deluxe?

what if i get 2 sets (4x2gb)....anyone have experience with this combo? would i have to lower to 800 for them to work?

right now, they're going for about the same price as OCZ DDR2 PC2-6400 Vista Performance Platinum 4GB (2x2gb) (OCZ2P8004GK)

just wondering, cuz the pc8000 (OCZ2P10004GK) are not on the Qualified Vendors list for the P5Q Deluxe,
but the pc6400 (OCZ2P8004GK) is on the list.
