"ASUS P5Q Deluxe discussion".

[Godmyster]

but you guys are using the Mbios right? the modded ones, not the ones from Asus..

[x3mgamer]

i used 1406 and now im using 1611 and i think theyre both great and stable if u can make them stable lol

btw theyre both from Asus

[Godmyster]

What about the Mbios from here are they better then the ones from Asus?

[Leeghoofd]

Ket's biosses did absolutely nothing for my mobo/ram combinations...no better OC'ing , pull ins worked here, ... other users had better experiences with them mostly due to the enhanced memory table on the lower end models

If you have no issues stick with the retail Asus ones, 1406 is the better one out there... if you seem to have ram incompatabilities you can always give his biosses a shot...

[DaMightyWackO]

Can I ask if anyone here uses the P5Q Deluxe in combination with OCZ FlexXLC? (PC9200 in particular).
So I won't have compatibility problems

[enigma96]

What happened to the asus bios 1611, and I think their even a newer one 1633 or something like that. Now on the Asus webpage the latest bios is 1501? Did they pull the 1611 and 1633 for something???

[x3mgamer]

hmmm ur right, 1406 is the latest one for P5Q dlx, they pulled the 1611

I have not heard of anyone running these on this board but perhaps someone will chime in. Where did you find them BTW? Been looking all over for stock of them.

Thanks!!

I just got my RMA replacement P5Q-Deluxe back. It's a brand new board form the supplier. The serial number starts with 89, does anyone have a board as new, and does it have an A3 chipset?

This just stems from the conversation in the P5Q-E thread where it was suggested that boards later than 88 may have an A3 chipset.

I will pull my M2F out and test it anyway, but I'd just like to know if anyone has any idea if it might be A3 or not before I go and pull everything apart.

Mine's an A3. Not sure if you can tell without running CPU-Z

[CryptiK]

This is what's on the box: 89M0AI886142.... (is it ok to post the serial? for warranty reasons???) it's a 1.03G

Sorry for being so paranoid...I'll post the rest of the label when I have my good camera available....

Does this help any?

Thanks for doing that for me. I didnt think about people using your serial, you can delete all but the first 2 letters anyway. Mine also starts with '89' so maybe I do have an A3.

Cheers, I think it's worth pulling my system apart and plugging in my new board to see if I have one or not.

after using so many release bioses and many beta bioses in the between (versions 06xx, 07xx, 08xx, 10xx, 11xx, 12xx, 13xx, 14xx) 1406 is only bios version i consider the best one ever. it took a long while for asus to have a good bios version for this board model. as seeing asus had removed beta 1611 from the server again i'll probably stick with 1406 untill my board is retired. btw, never consider using any third party bios myself.

[enigma96]

Wait bios 1611 was a beta bios? I thought it wsa final, what's weird when I updated to that bios on weds of last week it said final and nothing about being beta...

[CryptiK]

Sadly my board is an A2 revision.

I decided to test something out while I had the P5Q-D in, and I just stuck a BIOS chip from my Maximus II Formula in my P5Q-Deluxe, and it booted up as a M2F.

I was hoping that the P5Q-D had temp & voltage sensors that the M2F has, but were not read by the P5Q-D BIOS, but sadly that does not seem to be the case, it reads every voltage except the vcore as -3.34v, and all the temps (except cpu temp) come up as N/A.

Oh well it was worth a try.

[CryptiK]

Just a quick 32M run with the deluxe.

this board ownz so fukking much

When use a True Image recover disk with my P5Q deluxe system I get a no disks found message. I have disabled xpress gate. My 3 SATA disks are set as ide with a non boot disk (D) set as dynamic. Bios is 1406.

A Windows XP CD sees C: drive ( A seagate 500).

True Image 11 (latest snap drivers and version) works fine once XP is running.

Acronis says for me to by their workstation version.

What do I need to do to get the True Image 11 CD to work?

you may want to tryy the true Image forums. I had a similar problem and ended up using two hard drives to accomplish this. You should also download the newest version of True Image as it had a lot of problems at release. With the new version you can remake a rescue CD.

good luck

How did you use 2 hard disks to work as a rescure CD?

Joel

[mac_69]

I had same problem and did what mark did, download the latest update (im build 8101), and with your express gate disabled for the autoreboot, you can image to and from seperate drives

(Im in IDE mode too)

Your experience gave me some hope.

So...

When I enable AHCI the CD version does see the disks and appears to normally. However, I then need to return to IDE to boot my system properly. Any idea on what is happening and what would need to do to avoid the switch of AHCI/IDE in the bios?

[mac_69]

I couldnt get ACHI mode to stick for the life of me (this was prior to the 1406 bios) and I got fed up reloading vistax64 all the time so just stuck with IDE mode.

Maybe one of the guys could do a "how to" load op system with ACHI and which drivers work, but I've given up lol

Before that internet update build of true image I could make image files but not restore the system from an image

Perhaps this is as much of a bios issue as an Acronis issue.

When I boot in the non AHCI mode it does see am ESATA drive and my network. If I boot with the ESATA drive turned off it tells me no hard drives. And of course if I boot with AHCI turned on all seems normal on the Acronis Resecue CD-but I must revert back to non ACHC to boot the system.

I had a huge problem with Imaging with Acronis as well. I was running RAID 0 and the only way it would work was to build a special rescue CD with the drivers on it. Acronis won't put special drivers on the CD and is why you guys are having trouble with AHCI mode because the rescue CD is treating it as ide mode and restoring as ide mode.

If you check the Acronis forums you should be able to find thee method of doing this or someone to help you. I was offered help, but Version 11 was new and buggy. I gave up and bought an extra hard drive to use as a restore method instead of a cd. I just picked up a cheapo $50 hard drive. It's extra cost is worth the peace of mind. lol

Good luck
