"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[vrdublu]

Well I'm a little dissappointed with the E8400 considering everyone sells it like it's the next coming of Christ and all. I had a better overclock with my trusy old 6320 from 1.86 to 3.5 stable 24/7 with less voltage then the current cpu. The P5Q Deluxe is finally stable also, didn't take very long but there are certainly little differences from the P35 chipset. Here's a little somethin somethin, still working on it, but this cpu is stubborn and needs the juice, can't get it over 4000 mhz stable.

1406 BIOS looks good. Couldnt do it with 2x2Gb kit on earlier BIOSes

I'm selling my P5Q Dlx (having stability issues over certain FSB) and probably getting another P5Q Dlx
Anyone has FSB at 450mhz+ and Balistix and its stable?
Ive seen few A3 revision of P45 (on DFI- but they says its CPU-Z bug?) Are there any changes if A3 is real?

updata Aquamark.

How bout a trade for an MSI P35 Platinum?? I'll throw in 2x1 gig crucial or mushkin ram.

[M-XXXX]

Trade with you? Sorry plate has already been sent, adn Im over P35

[RejZoR]

Wow, with latest BIOS i can run my system with stock voltages and CPU at 1,45V. Impressive. And best of all, it's OCCT stable. Couldn't be more happy with this board

[nigelke]

Ive been messing around whit asus probe but. The cpu tem that he reads out seems to be sow very low. Is this posible? Ore do i just trust Realtemp?

[Leeghoofd]

I would use a mix Nigelke as some Core2's seem to have way-off sensors... a good value is about max 10°c difference between the cores (being higher than cpu temp) and the CPU temp read out by the mobo...

[azn_bboy07]

hey felas, has anyone has any problem with the ide drive? i have one pata drive on my system for back up, but it didn't show on windows, however it it shows on bios. i'm not sure if this is the os problem or the board itself. i did updated the driver as well as my xp, i'm using xp sp3 btw. if anyone has some idea or solution plz help me, thanks

[MarkJohnson]

It sounds like it's a new uninitialized drive. go to computer management and setup the drive. After initialize is done then just format it and you should be good to go.

CoreTemps come from the cores.
CPUTIN temps come from the board.

CPUTIN temps are very low, incorrect, and useless. those are the temps Asus uses. cause they are stupid, and they hope you are too

As has recently been revealed, the core temps from the diodes are ridiculously inaccurate as well, only reliable as you approach PROC_HOT/Thermal Shutdown temperatures. But you have to look at something, and most folks use the core temps as reported by real temp.

@ishb3w:

You asked me what settings I have settled on. I haven't decided yet but, I think this might be my sweet spot after playing around a little but, haven't finalized my settings yet though. I noticed that Load Line Calibration gives me issues that is for sure. I also noticed that my temp sensors are freaking nuts as all get out and was thinking about getting a temp meter of some sort. I believe my temps to be 10c cooler then what it says in this pic. Also my vdroop is bad. I actually have it set to 1.42v BIOS here..

[RejZoR]

Can someone tell me something about HDD's. I'm using AHCI mode in BIOS with two HDD's. However in Device manager i get this...



Is it normal to have PIO Mode 4 and Multi-word DMA Mode 2 for SATA drives under AHCI mode? Back in days of IDE ATA drives this would be very very bad. But what does it mean for SATA drives?
Are you guys getting anything different under "Current mode" column? I'm kinda confused as this is the first actual native SATA board (965P-DS3 was some half baked AHCI thingie).

[Vektor67]

No mine are Ultra DMA Mode 5, I just enabled AHCI mode last week and don't know a whole bunch about it so I'm sorry I can't be more help. Perhaps you can make some changes in you Bios. I know I have some (very few however) options in mine.
Good Luck.

[McCormick]

Hi guys! this is my first post here...
i'm writing review of asus p5q dlx, and i sold the board but i forgot to take SSs of ai suite and EPU6 engine.
So if anybody is willing to take just a few SSs of that software, i'll really appreciate it.
You can post it here or send me PM. Thank u very much.
Sorry on my bad english, i'm from croatia.

[RejZoR]

Vektor, yeah, that what happens when you use IDE before that. Now set to AHCI, delete all detected IDE ATA channels and reboot. It will redetect them as ATA (without IDE unlike IDE ATA before) and apply these weird modes to them.

Could you post a pic of a driver used for ATA ?
Cause mine shows just like what Vektor claimed udma 5 I've tried deleting it several times but vista still finds the same driver.

[truehighroller]

I will be getyting my 9450 back today woot!! I am taking this dual core back to Micro Center and putting the money towards a nice new 4870!! I will post my settings that I came to last night for the dualie on here as well for the people that were IMing me for them.

[mac_69]

Nice 4870 =


Finally home, going to try that new bios later; think I'm going to use the reset jumper / take out battery ie go the whole hog just to be sure

Thanks for the tip, I'm about to reinstall with AHCI set from the get go. Unfortunately my version of Vista Ultimate is without SP1 integrated and I understand that before SP1 Vista didn't handle AHCI that well. I wish I could get my hands on an image of Vista Ultimate x64 w sp1 integrated, as I won this copy in a raffle (true story btw) Microsoft is treating me like a second class citizen and won't send me a new disc. I've attempted to do a slipstream
and will find out shortly if I was successful or not *crosses fingers* wish me luck :0

Probably a good idea.
Yeah I can't wait to touch the 4870.. Rub it pertect it LMAO just kidding.
