Nice one! I haven't seen that FSB Enhancement option before, seems like all it enhances is user frustration Awaiting screens

Very true. That FSB enhacement option is supposed to provide better FSB clocking for lower end C2Ds. All it done for me was drastically cripple my memory and lower my max FSB.. I tried to work with it though to no avail. In a nutshell asus should either tell intel to go swivel on it and take that damn option out, or intel should release some kind of notes on how to make that option work for the benefit of the user. I literally tried everything without any good results.

Bump up the VDIMM.

Useless I used to bumped it up to 2,2. The same situation.
I think my motherboard

Then maybe it's related to sub-timings?

that option I think is called something else in the P5Q-Deluxe BIOS versions >803. It's causing havoc with Q9450's and guys with them have to run 803 to be stable even at stock clocks. It's a ridiculous option and should be removed.

Try higher vNB mate see what happens. I need 1.27 vNB for 445 FSB PL 8 stable, you may need 1.32 - 1.34v for 500 FSB PL 8.

Nope. I`m stable at 500FSB PL8 with 1,30 vNB. I pass Linpack, Prime95, OCCT.
I did 1,40 vNB and 2,1 vDimm and had the same result, several errors with Win MemTest.
When I go to 1000MHz 4-4-4-4 at 2,06V it`s all ok, I pass Win MemTest.

Dee

Then maybe it's related to sub-timings?

May be. But I don`t know what timings to set

[WaterFlex]

Lol! I`ve done 2,2 right now and passed 300 coverage with MemTest3.7 with no errors!
How can that be, guys? Stable with DOS MemTest86+, Linpack, OCCT, Prime95 with 2.06vDimm but need 2,2 to be stable with WinMemTest.
Unbelievable...
Will try now 2.15 vDimm on stableness

[Ket]

Done with 2.1v vDIMM, BIOS 0703 which I've modified. Going to see how much further these sticks will go

[Dee]

Good work, Ket.

[Ket]

Max these sticks will boot is 1280 @ 2.1 5-5-5-15, haven't tested if their stable at that but pretty promising with just 2.1v.

Heres a screen with stuff boosted up a bit.

[WaterFlex]

Nice clock guys!

[Dee]

Yep, nice clockage!

Had mine running 1230 or so earlier on (also 2.1v). Didn't stress test or anything but they seemed to work well. I was just testing out lower multi's and higher FSB with the P5Q-E. I get quite a nice boost in mem bandwidth using the lower multi's, only thing is I didn't realize until now that I could still run Speedstep on a multi other than the default 10x. That's why I always ran 10x.

[Ket]

I love my P5Q Pro in the gayest way now Just gotta tweak things a bit for max performance.

[johnysb]

24/7 setup 1.4Vnb, 2.1V ram Transcend PC6400 gmh

[Ket]

Not bad.. Feed that CPU some more juice though and crack 4GHz

[Shiranui Gen-An]

Nothing too major, just some tests with my Ballistix 8500 on my DFI LT P35 T2R. VDIMM was set to 2.47 in BIOS.

[Dee]

LOL.

I feel the same way about CellShock. I'm such a fanboy now, it's disgusting...

[johnysb]

Not bad.. Feed that CPU some more juice though and crack 4GHz

the problem is that i give 1.3625V in bios for the cpu and i am getting 1.24 under load for ~3.8Ghz.
So for 4Ghz i'll have to give ~1.4V for the cpu and i dont want that for 24/7 settings.
Damn you P5KC.

[Dee]

I have 1.4v for 24/7 on an E8600. Might knock it down a little at some point but no further than 4.25GHz @ 1.376 (heavy load).

Anyways. Just messing with different OC's and posting this for the sake of breaking 10k in Everest Read, Write & Copy. Not bad for 1.92 vDIMM (in BIOS, so possibly slightly under real vDIMM). DDR1200+ tests to follow at some point.

[Ket]

1.4v is perfectly fine still when I do eventually get a wolfie I'll be running 1.42v 24\7, but I'll have to set around 1.45v in BIOS so its 1.42v under load. Wolfies aren't AS fragile as most people would think. In fact, with decent cooling theres no reason to think an OCd CPU wouldnt have the same lifespan if not longer than a CPU run stock with its stock HSF.

LOL.

Nothing wrong with being a fanboy of a product thats genuinely good What makes me sick is the blind fanboys, particularly nvidia fanboys. Even when all the evidence is there to show theres an issue and its nothing to do with the user these blind fanboys come out in their masses and try slamming people. :shun: Anyway I think I'll be getting a XTC memory cooler in a couple days, thought I would finger my Cellshocks at the end of the 1hr OCCT stress test, and no those heatspreaders were as hot as the NB! So they must of easily been around 50c Incredible to think they could be that hot, I'm only using 2.2v. (upped it a tad so I could run PL8 ) I'm certain with those heatspreaders off the sticks would run much cooler. If only I could get the farking things off..

Heres a screenshot of my current settings, I think we can agree for just 3.2GHz thats some pretty insane memory bandwidth, almost sickening I know my CPU core temps look kinda hot, its why I want to get that bloody IHS off too.. I tried everything it just won't budge. The next step would be some kind of solvent... but I'm not sure if there is something out there that would just corrode the rubber seal stuff and not the die\sillicon.

I told you they get hot ya n00b I said people would need active cooling with them for sure, as CellShock heatspreaders actually work I think

@ Dee - nice mate, see if you can crack 11K across the board

[Dee]

yes, the temps are a bit crazy. Those are really idle temps?!!

[Dee]

I think it's possible with either 542 x 8 or maybe 578 x 7.5. Both land my CPU at 4.33GHz, so should be do-able. I can't find my fans to add some active cooling, so 1200+ is out of the question for now because the RAM takes more juice than I want to feed it. D9 scares me!

I never said The Cellshocks didn't get hot I just said any D9 IC can handle up to 2.2v without active cooling, but active cooling is advised beyond 2.1v

yes, the temps are a bit crazy. Those are really idle temps?!!

Yeah, load the cores get to 84c Anyone know of any solvents I can pick up that will corrode the rubber sealent stuff and leave the CPU itself undamaged?

[Dee]

84C? Wow, you're thrashing that thing good and proper.

Well done.

[Ket]

Its why I wanna get the damn IHS off don't gemme wrong I don't care about how much heat the CPU is dealing with, I just want to significantly reduce temps so I can make the chip go faster... thus thrashing it more
