Modded ASUS P5Q/Pro/Deluxe/Premium BIOS

**Lu(ky** · 10-13-2008, 05:57 PM

Hello,

I was wondering which is the best board out of the Asus P5Q series? I will be using a E8500 with 2 x 1gb sticks of Crucial PC-8500, with Windows Vista Ultimate. I will be using a Tuniq Tower with it as well and would like to know if there will be any issue's with it. Thanks

Hi Ket, nice to see you back. I thought that you forgot this thread. Thanks again for a nice mBIOSes. Did you see my early post about strap 400? It's strange, strap 333 wasn't nice with me like 400. It harder to boot with 333 (@high OC) than 400. After played for a day I figured out that my Q9550 doesn't like Volt! It's hard to boot and hard to be stable at high Volt than low Volt. My setting as below, had been play with Voltage all day with no luck I started touch GTL and skew and wooot it gave nicer result.
My setting are:
FSB 471x8.5
FSB Strap 400 (333 not as good as 400)
RAM-CPU 1:1
PCIE : 102
Vcore 1.337
CPU GTL: 0.65x
CPU PLL : 1.56
FSN Term : 1.30
DRAM : 2.04
NB : 1.28
SB : 1.10
CPU Clock skew : 200ps
NB clock skew : 200ps
Prime: @32min there is 1 core fail. The other 3 cores OK until I stop (1hr)
Before this I did a lot higher volt for every setting but after 10min prime 1 or 2 core fail.
Do you have any susgestion since IDK what to change now to make it more stable.
Thanks
PS. when will we see the m1406 for P5Q pro Ket? It's official now.

Hi Lu(ky,
I love my P5Q pro and I susgest you to get it. Why?
1. With Ket's m1307 BIOS it have the MEM table of higher end board. I believe it with pass FSB 500 easy. My Q9550 boot @ 480 just fine (I did try higher though because I want to stable it @471 now before I think of bigger number).
2. E8500's multiplier is 9.5, Awsome!
3. It's lack 16 phase power but you won need it for the E8500 IMO.
4. About half price of its big brothers.

there is a high chance of doing that!

When ket just changed few config names on bios, my one bios chip died for that!

Luckly this P5Q-E board got 2x bios chip, And P5Q PRO doesnt have

**Ket** · 10-13-2008, 10:51 PM

As care says, please don't try flashing to a diff model BIOS, you will cause the board to go into meltdown

The TPower arrived a few mins ago so later today I will be doing some building and then a mad dash to catch up on about 6-7 mBIOSes releases, so get ready to go on standby people

**carepolice** · 10-13-2008, 11:56 PM

You know difference between the chip and backup bios ?

If the bios gets corrupted or fails during a flash, you can re-flash the bios with a USB flash card. Its called Bios recovery

Its really hard to run bios from usb if your computer doesnt even detect vga? Or is it possible

And i dont mean to argue whit you, i just said that: P5Q-E got two bios chip, so even the second exploses you can still use the another chip!

**carepolice** · 10-14-2008, 12:23 AM

I could try that on my wrecked chip !

**truehighroller** · 10-14-2008, 03:26 AM

Interesting. I am curious to see how this turns out. Candy man I say overclock that thing until it pops

.

**Ket** · 10-14-2008, 04:57 AM

Crashfree BIOS 3 = EPIC FAIL. The board wouldn't re-flash the chip on my Pro for

s or giggles, didn't matter if I was using a USB stick or CD.

lol kinda yea. No manufacturer seems to understand that NO software is any good if theBIOS is fried as contrary to what they like to say, when the BIOS gets fried usually the bootblock gets taken with it.

**ghost_recon88** · 10-14-2008, 05:39 AM

Think the P5Q Pro 1406m might be released today?

**truehighroller** · 10-14-2008, 05:40 AM

I didn't think it would work.

Good. I have a high clocking "Extra Spicey" E8600 sitting here waiting for a turn in the P5Q Pro

**oMek** · 10-14-2008, 03:37 PM

**Ket** · 10-14-2008, 03:51 PM

1406 mBIOSes for P5Q series

**screwtech02** · 10-14-2008, 04:13 PM

Hey Ket, think you could do something a bit better for the MFII??? The board is really lacking in the "bandwidth' dept... I'm using your mod bios 1307 currently, didnt know if there was "bigger/badder/faster" availible??

**Ket** · 10-14-2008, 05:12 PM

Probably could rejig a M2F BIOS, but I'm flat out with the Biostar mod right now.

**screwtech02** · 10-14-2008, 07:54 PM

It would be most appreciated whenever you get a chance man......

**carepolice** · 10-14-2008, 09:40 PM

Anyone tested these new bioses yet?

**Ket** · 10-15-2008, 01:50 AM

Just give them a go

. On a happy note all of my stuff turned up today, XTC mem cooler, 80mm and 40mm fans, brand spanking new P5Q Pro, got lots of toys to play with!

**oMek** · 10-15-2008, 01:53 AM
