I had the P5Q Pro since the whole series was released, and CPU-Z reports A2 for me, so seems like asus haven't made any hardware tweaks.

Suprise

**Ket** · 09-21-2008, 04:15 AM

I know.. I'm still astonished at the condition asus let the P5Q series roll out the door in. My board came with BIOS 0506, and when voltages were left on auto it pumped 1.6v through my CPU amongst a whole hoard of other bugs

Don't want to imagine the catastrophe of what 1.6v would do to a 45nm....

**carepolice** · 09-21-2008, 06:14 AM

Huh, I can imagine what could happen when use 1.6V on 45nm processor

My P5Q-E came whit 06xx bios, Didnt take a look that bios "auto" volts.

Btw i have noticed that some people have reported issues about Bootlogo! I got same thing on my P5Q-E.
+ People who have reported about this, uses P5Q-E too! Would CMOS battery removing help on this? I dont want do it whitout results becouse my graphic gard is just on it!

Ahhh yes the troubles of overclocking

lol just take the case out and grab your screw driver and loosen those bolts and pull that sucker out and get that battery out of her hole and short the clear jumper and pull the power cord and let it sit there for like ten minutes. Then reverse.

To clear the CMOS on these boards you don't need to pull the battery. The jumper near the battery is all that's needed. Just turn off/unplug the PSU, pull off the jumper, and put it on the other pins 2/3 for 10 seconds. Then put the jumper back on pins 1/2 and turn the system back on. CMOS cleared, bada-bing.

I know that i have cleared CMOS everytime i have installed mbios, but this battery remove? Is that necessary?

No, you don't need to pull the battery. All you need to do is move the jumper, wait, and move the jumper back.

**Ket** · 09-21-2008, 07:38 AM

Removing the battery fully clears the CMOS, just setting the jumper to "clear" does not. To see this for yourself you will notice when not removing the CMOS battery the board holds various settings still such as time and date.

**truehighroller** · 09-21-2008, 07:39 AM

Agreed ^

I think it's better some times to wipe everything out by draining all power for bout ten minutes. That's why I say to pull the battery. I did get a flaky BIOS chip from Asus though so, maybe he has a flaky one. Have you tried using the backup Chip to see if it acts better? I had them send me two new ones when I found my bad one.

**truehighroller** · 09-21-2008, 07:44 AM

Ket why didn't you buy my chip?

. I thought you wanted it.

**Ket** · 09-21-2008, 07:46 AM

I did, but finances are tricky atm. I don't have the new chip yet nor is it ordered, its just planned

**truehighroller** · 09-21-2008, 07:52 AM

What chip? I don't know though every one else seems to be having a hard time clocking to where I am at with this chip so maybe I should just hold onto it and cherish it.

**Dashock** · 09-21-2008, 08:14 AM

This was with bios 1201 it was stable for 2 hours and then i got hit with a blue screen. Anyways i only had in bios 1.4125 so this time im gonna pump it a bit more say 1.45 i think it should be fine its not something i want 24/7 but i wanted to see how much further i could push this bugger. Ill probably try for it again and see how much volts it reallly needs to be stable.

Whats the latest Ket Bios for Deluxe?

Take a look on start post mate!

**Ket** · 09-21-2008, 02:30 PM

It amazes me how people miss this

**raab** · 09-21-2008, 02:35 PM

Hi Ket,

I've loaded your 1402 bios for my P5Q Deluxe, set the jumper and removed the battery however I still didn't get any logo? Bios is definitely cleared as I've had to set the date/time etc again. Is this an issue at all?

I haven't touched any settings but gained 30fps in the CSS video stress test. Haven't really looked at any other benchmarks cos I'm too lazy so I don't if your bios is loaded properly.

**Ket** · 09-21-2008, 04:17 PM

Don't worry about the boot logo, its somewhat of an anomaly, most see the logo but some don't. Not seeing it won't effect the BIOS at all.

This works for me too. Even clock is reset...

**Ket** · 09-22-2008, 02:46 AM

The clock shouldn't be reset without removing the battery. Given the fickle nature of the P5Q boards its always best to remove the CMOS battery as well otherwise you may experience phantom instability issues.

Then... if I've 1402m BIOS right now... but I've never removed the battery... do I have to remove it in order to avoid phantom instability issues?

Thanks.

**truehighroller** · 09-22-2008, 03:42 AM

You should.. yes,

**Ket** · 09-22-2008, 03:42 AM

Yes. Among other things you may find EZflash won't work without doing a proper CMOS reset.

**cka3o4nuk** · 09-22-2008, 05:53 AM

ppl does anybody tried to flash p5q-e bios on p5q-pro mobo?
