a bit more NB voltage maybe, have you verified with CPU-Z how low ya Vcore drops when linpack is running ?

1.3625 in the bios

1.36 on cpuz ( don't see the pic because i was in IDLE whit speedstep )

if i choose the level 2 or custom level ( until 1780mb of memory )
i have no errors...

but whit all the memory in level 1 i can't go on....???

and what does it mean :
you have tried to allocate more then 1.87 of memory while in a 32 bit OS.

probably IBT don't accept more than 1.87 gb of memory on a 32 bit OS for the test and so it gives an error ????

Normally with them volts (besides maybe a bit more Vcore and NB voltage ) you can get 8 x 500 stable too... there has been a lot of discussion about degrading cpu's, dying cpu's (only a few so don't be scared)... I think seeing so many users run 1.3+FSB term volts (mostly quad users) and till now noone has complained, the test by benchzowner (high Vcore, PLL and FSB term) : no casualties,... sometimes you can get a bad batch of cpu that just won't cut it...

If you want to be very safe keep FSB term under 1.3, PLL under 1.6 and Vcore under 1.4 and you "should" be fine...

Ok thank you ! And for the Northbridge Voltage ?

And what about the overvolting by itself of the motherboard ?
I found this that is speaking for Bios 1306 is this also with the new 1702 Bios or is this solved?

Nope V1.9 doesn't give that error at all here with 4gb on my 32bit OS, previous versions didn't run the test at all..; V1.9 works fine here...

But give LinX a try ( same test but in another util ) :

I don't have the boards no longer, sold them both time to move on... but my board overvolted way further than that, althogh I must admit I didn't verify it anymore since 1402 bios... just try to avoid AUTO voltages...

Version 1.9 of IBT also limits me with 1.87gb. Tried changing the Memory Remap in bios also, either way and I get the same thing/shrug.

Yes that's logic Big Lar, as the 32bit OS doesn't adress the full 4gb, but previous IBT versions (before 1.7 I believe) just gave an error in the program (program terminated) when doing the calculations or told me that it could not run the test...hence why AgentGod stresses to use 64Bit OS for more accurate results

Linx also tells it that it changed the maximum amount of memory but I just want him to test if linX will run (maximum memory selected)... to see if IBT has got an error in the program itself...

Gotcha, that certainly makes sense
On another note, I firmly believe that about 490fsb is about the max with this board and a quad cpu. I am able to get my chip up to 489fsb IBT stable there, tho only other thing I did test was Memtest HSI and about a 1/2 hour of Prime95 Blend. Tried 491fsb and it failed IBT.

I kinda doubt its the chip as I am still under 1.3v for the cpu, guess I am just greedy! Anything over 486fsb with MY board makes me drop the PL to 9, whereas I can run PL8 at 486 all day long with lower vtt/nb and pll. Hence I keep it there. Just some information.

whit linx & 1536 mb to test OK

but 2048 or + mb or max free memory it gives me error...



for me is a limitation of 32 bit os...

[gurusan]

For those interested I have tested the VTT and VDIMM with 1702 on the p5q deluxe...and the VTT control is pretty much spot on all the way to 1.2 to 1.28V (ranges I tested). 1.20 in bios gives 1.205 actual, 1.22 gives 1.224 actual....etc.

vDIMM still overvolts by about .8V....2.12 in bios gives 2.20V

I would like to measure the PLL voltage but can't find out where the measure point is.

[Leeghoofd]

but define that error : does the program cap out ? what does it do ? I get this with LinX, this is not an error to me it's a build in program limitation due to the OS



PLL reading point mate :



and I think you mean 0.08 for the Vdimm

[QUOTE=Leeghoofd;3533136]but define that error : does the program cap out ? what does it do ? I get this with LinX, this is not an error to me it's a build in program limitation due to the OS


if i set 1536 the test is ok : no errors ( 20 times )

if i set max memory linx corrrects the amount of ram to 1748
but it stops:

PLL reading point mate :


and I think you mean 0.08 for the Vdimm

Thanks for that, yes i meant .08V for Vdimm and the PLL voltage is reading 1.560V exactly with 1.52V set in bios.

So to conclude, for 1702 on the P5Q Deluxe:

-vDIMM = .08V overvolt
-VTT = Accurate
-vPLL = .04V overvolt

[Leeghoofd]

I have no idea why it doesn't work with you but it works fine here on my friends pc 32Bit OS and 4gb of ram :



What happens if you press the >> button of linpack ? does it give you a readme file or what ? you might adress that to Duallist ( designer of LinX) maybe he can help you further

i'll try to find someone that have the same pc as mine....


anyway thanks alike....

What are the top 5 best memory kits for this board?

What are the top 5 best memory kits for this board?

That will totally depend on ya demands (2 or 4Gb) and ya budget... I've seen +1200mhz with the Gskill 4GB PC9600 kit...(but they are soooo expensive)

Myself I've done 1112Mhz with the cheapo Gskill 4GB PC8000PQ kit. Mushkin PC8000 redlines went a bit further to 1130mhz stable and also were able to run 266 strap ( where the previous Gskill kit failed ) these are 24/7 numbers

With the 2GB Gskill PC8000hz kit I've done 1280mhz benchstable, mayeb they did more but it was nice to run some benches on them on these speeds

With your current kit (with the right timings) you can do 1066-1080Mhz with 5-5-5-15 for sure...

[Godmyster]

I can get these really cheap (MUSHKIN Memória PC Redline 2 x 2 GB DDR2-1000 PC2-8000 CL5) you think i should go for these?

[Leeghoofd]

Same as the kit I used, apparently there are 2 versions : one in blister and one in a white wooden box... I've had no issues with them and they were a tad better than the Gskills... and indeed both kits are dead cheap lately ( around 60 euro's )

[Godmyster]

I can get them for 49€ new since i got a friend with store and all... you think i should go for them then?

[Leeghoofd]

go for it !! 4gb for less than 50 euro's, is a steal and I used them all the time with only 1.92Volt in the bios up to 1080mhz

[tien113]

my gskill PC8000PQ primed failed at 1.92v, at 2.02v, it passed blend test...

why do u run at 1.92v pass blend test???

[Leeghoofd]

maybe your board doesn't overvolt mien did liek many others here around 0.08, so 1.92 was around 2 volts in reality... never had an issue here with 1.92...

Watercooling.
more fun whit bios 1702,but run in a bug whit mem slot ?? can not read 2/4 whit E8600? but 1/4 runs ok.
QX6850 no bug whit the mem

here whit slot 1/4

[Godmyster]

I cant get these Leeghoofd -> G SKILL DDR2 PC2-8000 4GB PQ SERIES DUAL CHANNEL (2x2GB) for 55€ what do you think of these also?

[Caped Crusader]

Those are very good RAMs. I had one of those sometime ago and they would easily break 1060Mhz with little tweaking.
