Modded ASUS P5Q/Pro/Deluxe/Premium BIOS

[Ket]

Ket, I'm not sure it is the board. The issues I've had are as Pants-Of-Fire has also outlined above. Applications crashing, BSOD etc etc..

I don't want to RMA a board to end up with the same situation with a replacement. and i've had this board for a while now also. SO they will prob send it off for repair than replace it.

Your problems are too numerous to blame entirely on the BIOS. Which is why I say RMA the board to the retailer, then give 803m a shot.

hi wonderfull work Ket,
i would just like to know weather you think that by using one of your mbios's would it allow me to OC further with less vcore. Because i have a Q6600 VID 1.325v so therfore it likes a lot of juice. also it seems as if my corsair 2 gb ram 800mhz, doesnt like bein OC'd very much.

which bios version do you recommend and do i flash it the same way as the official bios's.

Im using the P5Q Deluxe mobo, Q6600, 2X1Gb corsair PC6400 800Mhz ram, ATI 4850.

thanks for your help

Which P5Q Series mobo do you have? Also, as shameless as it may be, if you like my current work and can spare a few bucks click the linky at the bottom of my sig

ok thanks...

Where on this mass of topic is the latest or only version of the 803m for the P5Q-Deluxe? :|

Can the BIOS be flashed using the flasher @ bios level?

803m. It does away with that nasty CPU M-E but enhanced memory compatibility and OCing while supporting additional CPUs due to the custom P6 table.

Check my first post. Its on there. All mBIOSes can be flashed the same way official ones can, through EZFlash, Windows or AFUDOS.

/shameless plug/ If folk can spare a few bucks click the linky at the bottom of my sig

sorry man, i would really like to throw you some cash, but im 16, have no job and u know how it is loool. but thank you a lot, i think the P5Q deluxe has the spare bios chip so i can swap over if it messes up right?

also i will be able to flash back to official bios's in the future form a modded bios right?

thank you ever so much for your advice. i ahve to use 1.40vcore to get to 3.2Ghz from 3.1Ghz at 1.34v, and i think rams at fault even at 1:1 near as 800Mhz as possible. 3.40GHz needs 1.48vcore atm.

im going to flash the 803m mbios and see how it goes

BTW is it the last link on your fisrt post, or is it in the P5Q mBIOS pack?

[Ket]

It'll be the one saying 803m

[jasjeet]

ok flashed, i just put my old OC settings in to see if im still stable
8X388 3.1GHz, Ram 777mhz 1:1 4-4-4-13, 1.35625vcore, 1.30v fsb term, 1.20v SB and NB, 1.80v ram.

ill run Blend Prime95 for 10 mins on a 5 minute round, then bump up my FSB to see the max for this amount of vcore. hopefully itll stay stable till 3.20ghz, that would be awesome.

*edit: i was stable at my normal OC, upping the FSB to 392X8 for 3.135ghz i recive a rounding error in 4 minutes. its always the same core, i think playing with GTL ref for cores 0 and 2 will help, but up or down is another question lol

however it failed on a large fft test of 1024 length. im going to run the 8k test as well now to make sure its vcore not the ram

[whodie]

flashed back to 703m and FSB stability has increased, but sacrificed 1100mhz stability on the 16FD3's

Granted I am stuck to the 333 strap and without knowing RAM voltage it's like a shot in the dark unless I want to add a 5th set of Tracers to the dead hardware pile

[Ket]

Thats the only downfall with 703m, memory compatibility isn't quite as good. Get some D9 GKX and you won't care about that though GKX flys on 703m.

[jasjeet]

ok, small fft test is still running, therefore its a ram problem not vcore. i will loosen timings and try the default ram volts at 1.80v

*edit i was stable once i did the above so i went for 3.2ghz at 400X8 but somehow when i rebooted the bios corrupted. i resotred it from the backup and am now at 0610 i think lool.

the EZ flash is not in the bios, i think i have to do a key combination on boot up. i will flash back to your 0803M bios and see what happens next.

So, does the latest bios fix any of the FSB issues that some of the P5Q pro users have? I am using your 1104 BIOS that you posted at TPU, but I just now found this one.

[Ket]

This is the most updated thread. Nowhere near as many n00bs here either What kind of FSB issues are you having JC?

GKX flies, period.

[Ket]

You fantastic fanboy! GKX this, GKX that Once my Pro comes back from RMA I'll have to maybe give 1307m another go.. 1300MHz would POST on 703m but not get much further

[Dee]

What voltage did you try?

I set 2.18v in BIOS but did no stability testing for 1300. I have a feeling it wouldn't be anywhere near stable until at least 2.3-ish anyway.

[lenix]

What would be the best ( or most stable ) bios out there for the P5Q-Pro so far? Or should I stick to the latest official asus release ( 1306 ) ?

Many thanks to Ket for his work but that latest p5q pro bios is scary :P i'm glad i didn't try it

I'm running a Q9550 atm.

[Ket]

I was using 2.2v I think, so even if 1300 isn't stable 1250ish should be.

703m I had a lot of success with, 1307m might be worth a try as well.

[whodie]

I dropped tRFC and tRD just to see if there was any hope and I was able to get them stable again at 550mhz. I'll have to see if I can tighten them up, but I'm happy none the less (tRFC 55, tRD 10)

Unfortunately, bandwidth at these settings is pretty sad

I definitely spoke too soon, it's strange because for many days my machine was fine but then after reading that 1403M was having problems and particularly the thread recommending that it be pulled, it was shortly after that, that I noticed Voltage fluctuations (this was all from Asus Probe II) First warning was that my +3 was to high, next was that my CPU Voltage too low. This evening when I got home from work I was met with a dire warning from probe that my cpu temp was 113c!! needless to say I panicked and shut it down immediately.
(Now I wish I had looked a bit more carefully) Anyhow I flashed back to the stock 1402 for a minute just to get my bearings, my temps and voltages appear fine.
I'm not convinced it was the 1403m bios but it does seem likely. It's also possible I'm having mobo troubles time will tell I guess

[Ket]

The V2 1403m I pulled days ago, the first 1403m I done should be fine, you would be the first to say your having issues. As I said earlier in the thread though, once you find a good BIOS where everything plays nice and clocks well, theres no ned to upset it

I don't know what's up with these but, good luck I asked him if it was in there still and he said yes. Oh well give it a try those who dare.. lol.

Interesting... Are you gonna be the Tester?

No P5Q Pro? Bad Asus. Very very very bad Asus
