Modded ASUS P5Q/Pro/Deluxe/Premium BIOS

**slideways666** · 10-09-2008, 11:38 PM

well went in to update my m1402 bios to 1406 and cant get ez flash to see the usb key drive... It only shows A,C and D options... Any ideas? The key is the same one i used to update from the stock bios on my p5q-deluxe to the 1402..I even retried formatting to see if that would work(fat--- not fat32)... Any ideas?

Why don't you put the .rom file in one of your hard disks?

**slideways666** · 10-10-2008, 12:25 AM

I did... but still couldnt see it.... But i did the unthinkable-- used the asus update program--lol... and lived to tell about it... But i didn't download the rom from the internet.. I just loaded it from the rom on the computer.. it worked ok.. But sure hate doing it that way...

candyman--- try doing a 333fsb divider... I couldn't get much over what your getting till i went from 400 down to 333 and now i can get as high as 525 stable.. Though i do have a deluxe.. But worth a try.. Also try upping your Nb Volts.. I have mine @ 1.28 and that helped a bit.. FSb @400 is quad pumped-- so a 500 mem speed @ 400 divider is really a 2000 bus speed... But if you lower the divider to 333 it brings your bus speed back to close to what the system is rated for and allows you to raise your ram speed a bit more.. Im so tired I cant see straight-- so if that isnt what you were asking-- lol sorry about that.. Im off to bed..

**slideways666** · 10-10-2008, 02:14 AM

isnt the 2000 showing "effective" fsb but actual is based on the fsb strap to nb? .. Hell--Dont listen to me-- i cant even keep my eyes open... I just know i was having a similar situation as you were and coming down to 333strap and upping my nb to 1.38 seemed to help me break through(though finally worked my nb down to 1.28 wth some playing)

what are you temps @ 4.4 and what stepping do you have? I have a credit @ frys and thinking about picking up one of the e8600s and seeing if i can lower my temps a bit(eo stepping seems to run a bit cooler -- or so they say lol) .. 4.4-4.5 would be nice.. 10x450--- could under volt my mem a bit and still have a pretty quick system..

right now i have almost the same system. Only problem i have right now is my co e8400 runs just a bit hotter then i like...

Looks like a good chip!

Production date of 8/13/08 I like it. Good old Microcenter. I settled at 469x9 4.23Ghz~though for temp reasons / memory strap reasons.

**Ket** · 10-10-2008, 04:02 AM

My EPROM programmer turned up today

all I have to do is figure out why I keep getting an error saying it can't find the harware and I can get a system of sorts back up and running

system running will be my stalwart AW9D-Max. Got a good board with that one, it can do 425FSB+. Not bad for a 975X chipset.

**truehighroller** · 10-10-2008, 04:20 AM

Glad to hear you are back online.

**Ket** · 10-10-2008, 04:24 AM

Online yes, but still waiting on some stuff. Ordered a OCZ XTC memory cooler, 2 40mm fans and 2 80mm fans a few days ago, coming by FedEX........... still hasn't turned up. Takes the piss cos my EPROM Programmer had to come from China and it got here before FedEX could farking deliver me my package coming from the same country I bloody live!

FYI P5Q Pro owners BIOS1406 has gone official. I found it on the UK site.

**truehighroller** · 10-10-2008, 04:36 AM

You probably have a fsb wall on th chip. Test your wall by lowering your multiplier and cranking it up as far as you can get her and see where you hit the wall. I got mine to boot at 4.5GHZ last night with 1:1.

**Ket** · 10-10-2008, 04:52 AM

Give my 1406 mBIOS a shot when I do it, it should increase your FSB limits.

**truehighroller** · 10-10-2008, 04:55 AM

Try what he said and report back. Ket I didn't know you had modded this one. I will have to give it a whirl later as well.

**jVIDIA** · 10-10-2008, 04:58 AM

Your "m" bios for the P5Q Dlx, can handle PL=7 with fsb>= 450 ?

Thats hardware and BIOS dependent. If you want a low PL and high FSB try 704m, its in the BIOS pack. DL link on first page.

**jVIDIA** · 10-10-2008, 05:18 AM

Someone did test it ? 704m with PL=7 and FSB=450 ?

Because for me the high PL is the major problem of the P45 mobos.

The ram can do 1050mhz just fine so i know its the board or cpu sticking me with this... I cant seem to find anyone with this board on google all i ever see is the P5Q-E and they can get up to 500+ it seems without a problem, but isnt the P5Q-E the same as the pro just some extra sensors and stuff? I dunno a kinda bummer right now

You should be thankful. I'm having issues getting over 450MHz and I have an -E, which I do believe that they're the same on the OC level.

**Ket** · 10-10-2008, 07:14 AM

You BOTH should be thankful

, its been 3 days now since I sent my Pro back to the etailer and they haven't sent me an email or anything about if they have sent a replacement or whats going on yet :\

**Dee** · 10-10-2008, 07:52 AM

Candyman, when I was trying for high FSB's, some of the unexpected settings in BIOS seemed to give me good luck when setting them to Auto. I tried as many options as possible on Auto (except the required CPU voltage, etc) and I was finally able to boot and keep it stable at 530 FSB and higher.

The options I'm talking about are things like MEM OC Charger, DRAM Read Training, DRAM Static Read Control, etc. Now, with the little explanation in the BIOS right hand pane next to these options, you usually get a message of "Disabled: Might enhance overclocking ability" and such, but for me that wasn't quite how it worked out.

If this info is useless and you've done this already, I apologize!

We should ALL be thankful... we have PCs... or parts of them LOL.
Yeah, no matter how bad you think you are, there's always someone that's doing worse.

**Dagalidis** · 10-10-2008, 12:58 PM

Nice start with 1406 BIOS.
I think a have more space for higher clocks..

My Next Target is PL 6...

**oMek** · 10-10-2008, 09:41 PM

sorry if im a idiot but did mBIOS 1406 get posted yet? i didnt see it, but you told someone to try it >.>

**Dee** · 10-11-2008, 05:27 AM

OK, sorry I couldn't help.

How I wish to have a modded bios for mine P5Q3 which can't even do 2000Mhz in dual channel for DDR3 ram. Tks.

Using bios 1406.
