ASUS P5Q-E (P45) pre-view

[carepolice]

I have read that P5Q-E Got some problems whit LLC (LOADLINE CALIBRATION) Can someone explain how does it affect on negative side?
On my board whit LLC (example) 1.27500V(bios) shows up 1.240 on idle and 1.246 on load. WHITOUT LLC 1.27500(bios) shows up 1.200->1.225 on idle n 1.2150 on load ?

[carepolice]

ahhhhh bs about LLC, heres some after action pictures

You have a huge vdrop there, my vdrop isn't so bad. Problem with LLC is bios setting of 1.25v shows 1.24v idle and 1.26v load on my board with e8400.

My board rev is 1.01g though, so who knows.

[carepolice]

oh i didnt mention, on those pics i have 1.39Vcore on bios

[Quad-Damage]

In prime what does Fatal Error : rounding was 0.5 expected less than 0.4
Hardware failure

Been trying to get over 4.16 it's just not happening stable at all for my E8500

what settings are others running to get stable?

[Quad-Damage]

I also get ATI VPU Recover error when gaming, anyone know why? It's not over heating, thinking my system is clocked to high?

ATI 4850 was OC'ing now at defaults
40C idel 65ish gaming

[Leeghoofd]

What are ya exact voltage settings Quad damage ? If I look at your Vcore I woudl settle for 4ghz as the 100Mhz or co is not worth to run ya CPU over 1.4vcore... maybe some GTL tuning will help you to get her stable

[Quad-Damage]

It's on Auto mostly for everything, when i start messing with stuff, it won't even prime for through 1 test

1.372 is the v core

I want 4.2 i know i can do it
I got a nice water cooled setup and i spent the $$ to run 4.2

I've got the same rounding error in Prime on P5Q-E :/. Windows seems to be stable though. It doesn't react to changing FSB. If i set it to 400 or 475MHz it's the same. Rounding error 0.5 sumtin sumtin. Halp?

Q9300
2x2GB A-DATA 1066+

vnb 1.4

vmem 2.3
llc on (off doesn't help)

Whats your performance level and your vnb.. very important.

[Quad-Damage]

I have it on performance mode and auto vnb

when i change from auto prime won't even test through the second before i get a hardware error

My windows is stable but in gaming i get the ATI VPU recovery error

Going to try to game when prime is done, keep you guys posted

Whats your performance level and your vnb.. very important.

my vnb is 1.4 and perf. level is on auto.

can my psu be a case? i've got hd4850 as my video card, and psu is "tacens 460W". i'm wondering isn't this OCing + radeon + quad just a little bit too much for the psu .

Hi there fellow OC'rs !

Is that possible that my CPU's sensors have stucked

http://img221.imageshack.us/my.php?i...ealtempsl2.jpg

as you can see core #2 and #3 are +40c AND wont go any lower! even i put ice on the CPU (joke...) + #2 #3 makes fast jump to "normal" values ~30c BUT goes back to +40c in a second

And on load temps are +/- 3 on ALL cores so its okey on load.

they look stuck alright... realtemp has a feature for testing temp. diodes, try it out .

I really started to hate this board . Yesterday i Primed 4h stable for 3,7ghz 1.32 Vcore AND now! 3 BSOD on row

yup, weve all seen that happen. its as if voltages vary from day to day

raise your vNB and vFSB 1 notch, that shold solve it.

[Quad-Damage]

I wanted to add, it primed stable FINALY!

and games run well
I get 90 to 80 fps in all in gamer setting at 1400 x 900 in warhead
I might up it to super max today

Hi there.
I have p5q-e board with 1003 bios and i have read that 1003 bios is not good for o/c.Is that true?
Im think to flash down to 0803 or do u think it will be bad thing to flash down?
Or say me what bios i gona try.
Hope u understand what i write.

sorry i forget to tell that im trying to o/c me E8200 and my corsair pc8500 memorys.
my memorys do a bit over 600mhz so i know that my memorys dont be the first thing that stop me.
so all helps will make me happy.

[Quad-Damage]

^^ I'm very happy with Kits 1201 bios it OC'ed very well with some tweaking

With PC8500 your going to need at least 2.0 on your ram to get it to be stable.

[thehinge1]

Voltage weirdness, cont'd: I'm playing with a TPower while I wait on the RMA P5Q-E replacement... In BIOS settings it wants a little more Vcore while using about 0.10-0.12 less voltage on the NB and a slight bit less VTT to stabilize my E7200 w/Reaper 4G-1066 kit at 3.8GHz. It also boots every time, consistently. (are you listening, ASUS?)

Haha, I know... seriously! Stupid buggers at ASUS...

There will be no problems flashing down to 0803. Maybe you should try Ket's modified BIOS?

Witch one is the best of his bios?
Or do all run the same?
